Why did HIV decline in Uganda?

Uganda is widely viewed as a public health success for curtailing its HIV/AIDS epidemic in the early 1990s. We investigate the factors contributing to this decline. We first build a model of HIV transmission. Calibration of the model indicates that reduced pre-marital sexual activity among young women is the most important factor in the decline in HIV. We next explore what led young women to change their behavior. We estimate that approximately one-third the reduction in HIV in this cohort and almost 20 percent of the overall HIV decline was due to a gender-targeted education policy.

Measuring Compensatory Eye Movements to Assess Sensory and Learning Properties

This thesis deals with measuring compensatory eye movements to assess sensory and learning properties of humans and mice. We have used this method to determine the visual performance of humans and of mouse models of aging and congenital nystagmus and to measure the effect of direct stimulat

Stochastic Gene Expression in Single Gene Oscillator Variants

It is infeasible to understand all dynamics in cell, but we can aim to understand the impact of design choices under our control. Here we consider a single gene oscillator as a case study to understand the influence of DNA copy number and repressor choice on the resulting dynamics. We first switch the repressor in the oscillator from the originally published lacI to treRL, a chimeric repressor with a lacI DNA binding domain that is inducible by trehalose. This slightly modified system produces faster and more regular oscillations than the original lacI oscillator. We then compare the treRL oscillator at three different DNA copy numbers. The period and amplitude of oscillations increases as the copy number is decreased. We cannot explain the change in period with differential equation models without changing delays or degradation rates. The correlation and phase coherence between daughter cells after cell division also tend to fall off faster for the lower copy oscillator variants. These results suggest that lower copy number variants of our single gene oscillator produce more synchronized oscillations

BarLee: Business Plan for an Urban Beer Garden

The development of a business plan is a requirement of all graduating seniors enrolled in the Hospitality Management program. The concepts and development of the businesses are extremely varied. In the particular case of BarLee, an urban beer garden, the idea came from a variety of sources. BarLee’s layout and format adheres to that outlined by the Small Business Association. The guideline for business development is a standard followed by all small business entrepreneurs. The style of the writing is in the form of a pitch to an investor. The investor may be a bank, in the form of small business loans, a private angel investor, or other sources of financial capital. Some of the key components of the business plan are the financial all summarized in the text as well as showcased in the appendices. The appendices are to a certain extent more important than the written work because of the heavy importance placed upon financial forecasting. The financial forecasting shows the overall success of failure of a business based solely upon the number, known in business as the bottom line. The successful completion of a business plan requires a variety of skills, including marketing, advertising, accounting, and human resources. The processes involved in the development of a food and beverage related business plan required the used of four years of academic knowledge as well as years of internship experience acquired over the duration of my college matriculation
