This project addresses the role of noncoding RNA structural motifs for trafficking in host adaptation. It tests the hypothesis that (i) an infectious RNA can rapidly evolve new three-dimensional (3D) motifs for trafficking as a means of host adaptation, and (ii) different infectious RNAs can evolve distinct trafficking motifs for adaptation to the same host. This hypothesis was developed from the following observations. First, when a particular motif, called loop 19, of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) was obliterated to abolish trafficking (but not replication) in the experimental host plant Nicotiana benthamiana, a new loop (loop 19*) evolved to restore trafficking. Second, some viroids, such as Hop stunt viroid (HSVd), differ significantly in sequences from PSTVd but also can infect N. benthamiana systemically. To test this hypothesis, the following experiments will be performed: 1) to elucidate the 3D structure of loop 19 and determine whether loop 19* is similarly structured, 2) to determine the cellular boundary at which loop 19 and loop 19* function, and 3) to perform a genome-wide mutational identification of HSVd trafficking motifs and compare them with the PSTVd motifs that have already been identified for similarities and differences.\n\nThis project will contribute new knowledge about the molecular mechanisms underlying the evolution of infectious RNAs and broadly the unifying and unique principles controlling the systemic trafficking of different RNAs. New research tools and experimental systems developed may also help transform research on the general principles of RNA structure-function relationships.

Models of surface uplift due to an elastic crustal response to magmatic inflation at 19 km depth agree well with InSAR interferograms. The age of the magma body and its related surface uplift are controversial. In order to resolve this controversy, the New Mexico Tech research team will carry out a pilot study of terrace remnants to determine the age of onset of surface uplift. They will map the terrace remnants with the aid of Digital Elevation Models and correlate them using soil characteristics (clay and carbonate content), geomorphic characteristics (surface textures, degree of desert varnish, location within flights of terraces), sedimentological characteristics of terrace deposits (clast types, sedimentary structures, grain size), and 36Cl ages. Well-preserved and unaltered surfaces will be dated using 36Cl cosmogenic isotope profile dating. Lateral changes in terrace elevations and vertical terrace spacing will, in turn, allow identification of those terraces affected or unaffected by Socorro magma body inflation. Terrace ages will bracket onset of Socorro magma body -related uplift and constrain long-term rates of uplift and magma-body inflation.\n\nThe Socorro magma body is one of the largest known midcrustal magma bodies on Earth. Leveling and InSAR studies indicate that the magma body is causing surface uplift at rates of about 2.5 mm/yr (in the central zone of fastest uplift). The Socorro Seismic Anomaly has the highest rate of upper crustal seismicity in New Mexico and lies above the magma body. Microseismicity presumably is triggered by deformation and ascending hydrous fluids above the Socorro magma body. This project seeks to constrain the age of the Socorro magma body, which is relevant to understanding crustal rheology, evolution of the brittle-ductile transition, crustal growth in rifts, magma genesis during rifting, stress evolution during rifting, and volcanic hazard.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5107", "attributes": { "award_id": "1049405", "title": "EAGER: Collaborative Research: Transformative Innovation for Sustainable HCI through Interventionist Eco-Arts", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "CreativeIT" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18207, "first_name": "William", "last_name": "Bainbridge", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2010-09-01", "end_date": "2012-08-31", "award_amount": 52959, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18208, "first_name": "Carl", "last_name": "DiSalvo", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [ { "id": 294, "ror": "", "name": "Georgia Tech Research Corporation", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "GA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true } ] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 294, "ror": "", "name": "Georgia Tech Research Corporation", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "GA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "Research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) on sustainability has recently exploded. The goal of this project is to guide further development of sustainable HCI by informing research in the area with an understanding of contemporary interventionist eco-art practices. By \"interventionist eco-art practices\" we are referring to a set of artists and projects that combine public and institutional engagement with a commitment to sustainability, to produce artifacts and systems that intervene in environmental issues to raise awareness and provide models for social change. Through such activities, artists push the boundaries of how we use and think about technology and its relationship to the environment. These interventionist eco-art artists and projects suggest new themes and work practices that could usefully inform sustainable HCI. But because they are born from far outside of the traditional sciences, arts-based approaches run into challenges in being taken up and taken seriously as part of HCI. On the one hand, methods and outcomes deriving from the arts are most easily incorporated into HCI by retro-fitting them to existing understandings of HCI as a scientific discipline in ways that blunt their potential to truly add new perspectives. On the other hand, methods and outcomes that remain true to an arts sensibility can suffer marginal status as \"artsy HCI\" such arts-based approaches are more likely to be considered acceptable for fringework or one-off systems than to be thought of as appropriate or essential for the core research of HCI. In either case, the \"edge\" of arts-based approaches, that could provide transformative potential for innovation, is dulled.\n\nIn this project, groundwork for transdisciplinary engagement between sustainable HCI and interventionist eco-art practices will be laid through an ethnographic case study of interventionist eco-arts practices at the 2010 01 SJ Biennial in San Jose, California to be held September 16 to 19, 2010.

As such, it provides a unique opportunity for ethnographic study of a range of projects and practices within a bounded space and timeframe. This research will engage in the following activities (1) observation and analysis of eco-arts projects presented at the 2010 01SJ Biennial; (2) participant-observation in the Biennial as a commissioned art/design collective (3) a project workshop to integrate the results of the first two activities and develop a set of key themes for sustainable HCI (4) follow-on interviews with artists from and the curator of the Biennial.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5091", "attributes": { "award_id": "1049144", "title": "WORKSHOP: Computer-Supported Cooperative Work Doctoral Colloquium", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE)", "HCC-Human-Centered Computing" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [], "start_date": "2010-07-15", "end_date": "2011-06-30", "award_amount": 25783, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18176, "first_name": "Gloria", "last_name": "Mark", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 177, "ror": "", "name": "University of California-Irvine", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "CA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This workshop will support the Doctoral Colloquium (DC) at ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW 2011) in Hangzhou, China (March 19-23, 2011).

Enhanced productivity sought in many applications requires higher cycle rates placing great demands on robot kinematics, actuators and control systems. Further increase in operating speed must resolve dynamic challenges intrinsic in directly coupling servo actuators and robot linkages. When compared with existing electromechanical servo actuators - which route power through complex mechanical transmissions - direct-drive actuation of robot linkages enables simple mechanics and rapid motion, but does not provide dynamic isolation between the actuator and robot system. Consequently, direct-drive servo actuators are sensitive to variations in plant parameters, unknown disturbances, and un-modeled dynamics. This R&D investigates the feasibility of an innovative, direct-drive pneumatic robot actuator coupled with advanced control algorithms which rapidly accommodate dynamic system variations. Effectiveness of a new control strategy that is model insensitive, resolving unknown disturbances, un-modeled dynamics, and unknown system parameters, will be researched and developed. Success of this project will provide for a parallel delta robot that is significantly faster, more precise, possesses greater load capacity, and is substantially more affordable than contemporary delta robot systems. \n\nThe broader impact/commercial potential of this project involves engineering research conducted to enhance understanding of the dynamic interaction between direct-drive servo actuators and robotic mechanisms, and further to enhance the effectiveness and understanding of a novel control strategy which provides for an advantageous coupling between them, heretofore not practically feasible. This has the potential of introducing transformative change in the robotics industry, and to industrial automation in general. Furthermore, much of the controls knowledge gained from this research can be extended to systems employing AC linear motors, and to electromechanical servos with mismatched inertia ratios. Two market segments will be targeted: robotics and general motion control, both estimated at $7 billion. If software, peripherals and systems engineering are included, the robotics market is estimated at $19 billion. Parallel delta robots are estimated at 25% of the robotics market. The robotics industry significantly supports the national economy with applications ranging from manufacturing and food processing, to medical advances such as remotely controlled surgery, and to national defense.

The proposed system consists of a miniature nanowire-based sensor which can be attached on esophagus wall for a long period of time and an external wearable reader. The impedance variations from the sensor can indicate episodes of reflux that are both acidic and non-acidic in nature.

The two workshops will bring practitioners in biological informatics together to discuss challenges, opportunities and strategies in order to propose short- and long-term strategies to take on these challenges.

In addition, a special session that highlights NSF/ENG research and educational opportunities will be organized, and special invitations to attend this session will be sent to EPSCoR funded colleagues and organizations in the State of Hawaii \n\nThe Conference will be responsible for arranging attendees local expenses at the government approved rates for hotel rooms and per diem. \n\nA conference website will be established, and all third year NSF-ECCS grantees will be invited to submit a one page summary highlighting their research methodology and both research and educational achievements of their NSF funded work. These one-page summaries will be published in pre-conference proceedings to be distributed to all conference attendees. Furthermore, all conference presentations will be compiled in a post-conference proceeding and published in a CD ROM. \n\nIntellectual Merit: The conference will provide invaluable opportunities for the NSF-ECCS PIs to listen and learn of accomplishments by their NSF funded peers, and possibly discuss opportunities for establishing collaborations between their groups. The 2 and 1/2 day conference will also provide opportunities for stimulating discussions with NSF Program Directors. The special NSF/ENG Opportunities session will be invaluable in highlighting research and educational opportunities at NSF for faculty in 2- and 4-year colleges from across the State of Hawaii. The pre- and post-conference publications will provide significant record of accomplishments from NSF-ECCS Division funded programs.\n \nBroader Impact: The pre- and post-conference publications will provide an up-to-date record of research accomplishments within the NSF-ECCS Division which could be disseminated to interested researchers across the US and also shared with other government agencies. Highlighting EPSCoR activities and available opportunities will be most valuable to academic and research colleagues from across the State of Hawaii.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "5028", "attributes": { "award_id": "1023335", "title": "Oceanographic Instrumentation - 2010", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Geosciences (GEO)", "OCEANOGRAPHIC INSTRUMENTATION" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 18003, "first_name": "James", "last_name": "Holik", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2010-07-15", "end_date": "2011-12-31", "award_amount": 138185, "principal_investigator": { "id": 18004, "first_name": "David", "last_name": "Fisichella", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 362, "ror": "https://ror.org/03zbnzt98", "name": "Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MA", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Atlantis, a 274? general purpose Global vessel; the R/V Knorr, a 279?general purpose Global vessel; and the R/V Oceanus, a 177?, general purpose, Intermediate vessel.
