Nonlinear Dynamics Of Mountain Pine Beetle Populations: Discussion Of Forestry Policy, A Survey Of Existing Mathematical Models, And Code Base Demonstration, Scott A. Strong, Maya Maes-Johnson

CODEE Journal

This article presents existing mathematical models associated with mountain pine beetle populations in lodgepole pine forests, whose reproductive cycle requires the destruction of colonized host trees, decreasing timber availability/quality, and providing fuel sources for wildfires. With the existence of a positive-feedback loop with environmental warming, the need for intervention and management is clear. However, the legislative responses to the focusing events from our 2000-2010 North American epidemics are characterized as under-leveraged. While the reasons for this are multifaceted, increasing the capacity of STEM-informed individuals to take part in quantitative modeling of the underlying ecosystem generates awareness and provides pathways connecting …

Fitting A Covid-19 Model Incorporating Senses Of Safety And Caution To Local Data From Spartanburg County, South Carolina, D. Chloe Griffin, Amanda Mangum

CODEE Journal

Common mechanistic models include Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) models. These models in their basic forms have generally failed to capture the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic's multiple waves and do not take into account public policies such as social distancing, mask mandates, and the ``Stay-at-Home'' orders implemented in early 2020. While the Susceptible-Vaccinated-Infected-Recovered-Deceased (SVIRD) model only adds two more compartments to the SIR model, the inclusion of time-dependent parameters allows for the model to better capture the first two waves of the COVID-19 pandemic when surveillance testing was common practice for a large portion of the population. We find …

Supporting Emotional Behavior Disorder Students In The Mainstream Classroom, Angela R. Cope Jan 2024

Supporting Emotional Behavior Disorder Students In The Mainstream Classroom, Angela R. Cope

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Students with Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD) face extreme barriers within the school system as well as in their adult life. Teachers across the country are seeing an increase in student behavior within the classroom and are feeling a lack of support and training to better support EBD students. Behaviors are impacting the teacher’s ability to teach and the ability of students to learn. Research suggests that general education teachers hold mixed attitudes regarding the inclusion and the education of students with disabilities; some feel they are unprepared to teach students with disabilities (Barton-Arwood et al., 2016). Our education system must …

The Exploration Of Faculty-Student Mentoring For First-Generation Community College Students, Mariana Torres Jan 2024

The Exploration Of Faculty-Student Mentoring For First-Generation Community College Students, Mariana Torres

Theses and Dissertations

Retention, persistence, and academic achievement for first-generation students have become increasingly prevalent with increasing access to higher education. Beyond access, the most discernible challenge relates to their identity as a first-generation college student and the lack of mentorship from their parents in navigating the college experience. While research promotes the positive impact of faculty-student mentoring programs for the success of the traditional student, more work is needed to analyze the effects on first-generation community college students. The purpose of the present study was to investigate if there was a relationship between faculty-student mentoring and student success, as defined by persistence, …

The Applications And Uses Of Immersive Virtual Reality: A Multisensory Approach To Effective And Efficient Academic Pedagogy, Jessica M. Myara Jan 2024

The Applications And Uses Of Immersive Virtual Reality: A Multisensory Approach To Effective And Efficient Academic Pedagogy, Jessica M. Myara

PCOM Capstone Projects

The long-established model of traditional educational pedagogy confers students with the necessary information required to build knowledge but lacks the ability to engross students in the learning process through active learning methods and therefore lacks the tools necessary for student engagement. Through examination of the building blocks of learning and the current pedagogical approaches, which apply learner-centered models for learning, it becomes clear that to develop an understanding of knowledge students require more than traditional didactic lectures and that effective teaching demands re-evaluation of teaching methods for better learning outcomes. As an extension of active learning, the idea of multisensory …

Enhancing Learning Through Sign Language, Christopher Lane Pomeroy Jan 2024

Enhancing Learning Through Sign Language, Christopher Lane Pomeroy

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Developmental disabilities, such as cognitive delays or autism, are often associated with challenges in verbal communication. These challenges can limit a student’s ability to engage and demonstrate understanding in academic settings. Identifying alternative forms of expression, such as manual sign language, can be crucial in promoting learning within special education environments. This paper explores research on the physical and mental skills involved in using manual sign language for communication, examines interventions that use sign language to enhance understanding and basic communication, and discusses the potential for generalizing sign language as a tool in academic and societal contexts.
