    An automated lecture alert management system has been developed using java programming concept knownfor its portability. This backend system was interfaced with the GSM network through USB port of a PC and GSM modem. The desktop SMS application was developed using C# programming language. It generates updates and reminder from a time schedule stored in a database thereby making the system a time triggered application

    Advanced analytical strategies to determine biomedical parameters for medical diagnostics, drug delivery, and therapy

    Biomedical parameters are critical for diseases prognosis, diagnosis and therapy. Many research groups have dedicated their studies to develop analytical instrumentation and apply analytical methods to determine biomedical parameters that have the potential to help with disease control and increase public health. This dissertation focuses on three major aspects of analytical strategies development and applications: 1) detection of pH changes caused by nanotoxicity (induced by TiO2 nanoparticles) using newly developed micro-pH sensor, 2) quantification of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) biomarkers by high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), and 3) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of porous wall hollow glass microspheres (PWHGMs) that have the potential to be used as drug delivery carriers. Firstly, a dual-core fiber-optic pH micro-probe was developed which can be used within the biologically relevant pH range from 6.20 - 7.92 (R2 = 0.9834). Secondly, a targeted HPLC-MS/MS protocol was developed to simultaneously monitor four urinary biomarkers for RCC and applied to human urine specimen analysis. Thirdly, a vacuum-based loading system was developed to charge PWHGMs with specific materials followed by a washing procedure. Immiscible binary model systems (n-dodecane/water and chloroform/water) as well as isopropanol- acetic acid esterification and the hydrolysis of isopropyl acetate were investigated to obtain NMR evidence for material loading into PWHGMs and their subsequent release into the surrounding solutions. In addition, microspheres loaded with H2O were suspended in D2O to obtain quantitative information about the release kinetics from PWHGMs. The results demonstrate that NMR is a particularly useful tool to study developments and applications of PWHGMs in the targeted and controlled drug delivery --Abstract, page iv

    Building a New Frame of Reference: An Adult Transformational Approach

    Get PDF
    Coaching is a process by which a coach engages with a client to help realize personal or professional development goals. A successful coaching process is holistic; taking into account the individual’s expressed desires, their observable behaviors and relationships, all in the context of their needs. Reflecting on how theory informs a coaching practice is important for the practitioner to move beyond intuition and permit theory to influence interventions while also allowing for the observable data to be grounded in a framework that further informs their practice. This paper presents the case study of an OCEC Coaching Practicum Engagement and subsequent work done after the original contract expired. In addition, an exploration of the ethical values ascribed to by the Coach, the theory that informed the methods used during the coaching engagement, and how the data contributed to the Coach’s theoretical view and methods used will be included. In consideration for the importance of self-awareness during the coaching process this paper will be written in the first person, from the perspective of the Coach, and integrate personal background and reflection throughout the stages of the coaching engagement
