Bladder dysfunction and pathophysiology often stem from compromised bladder function, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms such as overactive bladder (OAB) and interstitial cystitis (IC). These debilitating conditions significantly impair quality of life and disproportionately affect older adults. While pharmacological treatments exist, they often provide only symptomatic relief, exhibit limited long-term efficacy, and have high discontinuation rates due to adverse side effects. Current clinical approaches fail to address the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, highlighting a critical gap in our mechanistic understanding of bladder function, particularly in aging. This dissertation aims to bridge these gaps by developing a novel methodology for concurrent functional assessment of bladder urodynamics and pelvic sensitivity in aged mice, followed by an investigation into the peripheral neural encoding of bladder function. By establishing a novel anesthesia protocol in both mature and aged mice with continuous urethane infusion (0.15–0.23 g/kg/hr), I established a robust and repeatable approach for evaluating bladder urodynamics via cystometric recordings and pelvic sensitivity to urinary bladder distension (UBD) via electromyographic (EMG) recordings of visceromotor responses (VMR). This methodological advancement enables a more comprehensive assessment compared to existing approaches by simultaneously evaluating urodynamics and bladder-related pelvic pain. Applying this in vivo, I systematically examined the effects of intravesical pharmacological infusions on bladder function in both mature and aged mice. The findings revealed that aged bladders exhibit hyposensitivity to distension but can develop pelvic hypersensitivity following urothelial irritant exposure. Additionally, I investigated the neuromodulatory effects of pharmacological compounds targeting hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) cation channels by performing single-fiber recordings from bladder afferent axons with direct detrusor smooth muscle drug applications. By systematically characterizing bladder urodynamics, pelvic sensitivity, and afferent neural encoding, this dissertation advances our understanding of aging-related bladder dysfunctions. Furthermore, it establishes a novel and powerful research platform for future mechanistic studies of bladder pathophysiology in aging.

Abstract: Inferring evolutionary relationships among cancer cell populations is a powerful approach for identifying driver mutations, estimating mutation rates, and quantifying intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH). Advances in high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled the characterization of a tumor's mutational landscape at the single-cell resolution, making it possible to infer tumor phylogenies at single-cell resolution. However, the scale and high error rates of single-cell sequencing datasets make reliable phylogenetic reconstruction challenging. There is a need for improved tumor phylogeny inference methods that are both robust to noise/error and scalable to large numbers of cells. Furthermore, since the true evolutionary history of tumor cells is scarcely known, there is a need for realistic simulation frameworks that can adequately model tumor evolutionary dynamics and the error patterns of single-cell datasets, and which can be used to evaluate the performance of tumor phylogeny inference algorithms. In this dissertation, we first propose and systematically evaluate two novel distance-based methods for reconstructing single-cell tumor phylogenies based on single-cell copy number aberration (CNA) data. These new methods demonstrate considerable robustness to noise and drastically outperform most existing methods in terms of both accuracy and scalability. We then present two new simulation frameworks for tumor evolution and single-cell DNA sequencing data that address several limitations of existing simulators and offer greater realism. The first framework features an improved model of CNAs and facilitates the rapid benchmarking of tumor phylogeny inference methods. The second framework utilizes an agent-based model for genotype-driven selection and introduces a novel migration model for simulating metastatic cancers. We also show how this simulation framework can be leveraged to perform simulation-based inference of cancer type-specific mutation rates and selection parameters from a large cohort.

Dr. Maxim Pospelov, University of MinnesotaNew developments in EDM theory Over the last 10 years there has been a large progress in experiments testing the coupling of electron spin to electric field. These experiments are often referred to as "electron dipole moment experiments" (or EDMs). In my talk I will show how the Standard Model CP-violation leads to the coupling of electron spin to the electric field, and argue that the most important mechanism is related to the spin interaction with the nucleus. I will finish the talk with some comments on lattice attempts to calculate neutron EDM induced by theta QCD.

On the Trudinger–Moser embedding for fractional Sobolev–Slobodeckij spaces in the Heisenberg group Letizia TEMPERINI Universit ́a Politecnica delle Marche Abstract. In this talk, we present results concerning the Trudinger–Moser embedding for frac- tional Sobolev–Slobodeckij spaces on the Heisenberg group Hn. To establish the exponential in- tegrability of functions in these spaces, we employ various tools, including a characterization of Sobolev–Slobodeckij spaces on Hn through interpolation. To extend the local inequality to a global setting, we develop a novel technique that circumvents the use of symmetrization, which is un- available in this context. Finally, we discuss Lions' concentration–compactness principle for these inequalities. This result significantly enhances the Trudinger–Moser inequality along specific se- quences and has important applications in the study of PDEs with exponential nonlinearities, providing a crucial tool to address the challenges posed by the lack of compactness. The results presented are part of a joint work with G. Lu (University of Connecticut).

(https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/mental-health/group-therapy/) Barbershop The "Barbershop Group" is a therapy group for men who have had past traumatic experiences and would like to learn new ways of coping and managing the effects of that trauma. The group recognizes the need for men to develop different skills that will effectively improve how we express our emotions and build relationships in a safe space. What better place to do that than the barbershop? The Barbershop model is derived from the "Men's Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model"- (M-TREM.) The Barbershop Group uses a Psycho-educational and skills-oriented approach that is person-centered. Over the years The Barbershop has provided men with a safe, non-judgmental setting where they can speak freely and be themselves. Unfortunately, we will not be providing haircuts, but we will be providing open discussion where honest responses in group discussions are encouraged, and we will engage in several exercises that are used to introduce you to and try new coping skills. I look forward to seeing you all at "The Shop". To join this group therapy session, please call SHaW at 860-486-4700 (tel:860-486-4705). This session is held by Greg Davis, LPC   For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

Prof. Debayan Mitra, Indiana University BloomingtonMolecular Advantage for Quantum Science Applications In recent years, cold and ultracold molecules have emerged as a mature platform for quantum simulation, computation, chemistry and precision measurements. Molecules provide unique features and challenges compared to their atomic analogs. In this talk, I will discuss two avenues where molecular advantage plays a key role. First, I will discuss how the molecules CaH and CaD can be used as a vehicle to produce ultracold and trapped hydrogen and deuterium atoms for precision measurement. I will discuss the process of formation of the molecules CaH and CaD and our latest efforts towards laser cooling it. Second, I will talk about the planned pathway to building a quantum gas microscope of laser cooled fermionic molecules with tunable long-range interactions. I will describe how the molecule MgF possesses many of the properties favorable to both laser cooling and single-site imaging. I will also discuss some of the challenges posed by this new class of molecules with UV transitions.
