Exports During The Pandemic: Enhanced By Digitalization, Ahmed Tolba, Esra Karadeniz, Thomas Schott, Fatima Boutaleb Nov 2022

Exports During The Pandemic: Enhanced By Digitalization, Ahmed Tolba, Esra Karadeniz, Thomas Schott, Fatima Boutaleb

Faculty Journal Articles

How are exports shaped by digitalization? Scholars debate a global digital divide that impacts internationalization. The pandemic disrupted exports, so the pandemic provides opportunity to examine digitalization as a tool for recovery of exports. Analysis of 47 sampled countries shows that wealth, especially in the West, facilitated early digitalization, but that other regions are catching up, externally enabled by resilience in the pandemic. Analysis of 7073 businesses sampled representatively in several countries shows that early digitalization and especially recent digitalization in businesses form capabilities promoting their exports. Findings contribute to accounting for eco-systemic embeddedness of digitalization shaping exporting

Background: Large-diameter trees have an outsized influence on aboveground forest dynamics, composition, and structure. Although their influence on aboveground processes is well studied, their role in shaping belowground fungal communities is largely unknown. We sought to test if (H1) fungal community spatial structure matched aboveground forest structure, (H2) fungal functional guilds exhibited differential associations to aboveground tree, snag, and deadwood, and (H3) that large-diameter trees and snags have a larger influence on fungal community richness than smaller-diameter trees. We used MiSeq sequencing of fungal communities collected from soils in a spatially intensive survey in a portion of Cedar Breaks National …

Speechqoe: A Novel Personalized Qoe Assessment Model For Voice Services Via Speech Sensing, Chaowei Wang, Huadi Zhu, Ming Li Nov 2022

Speechqoe: A Novel Personalized Qoe Assessment Model For Voice Services Via Speech Sensing, Chaowei Wang, Huadi Zhu, Ming Li

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Quality of Experience (QoE) assessment is a long-lasting but yet-tobe-resolved task. Existing approaches, especially for conversational voice services, are restricted to leveraging network-centric parameters. However, their performances are hardly satisfactory due to the failure to consider comprehensive QoE-related factors. Moreover, they develop a one-for-all model that is uniform for all individuals and thus incapable of handling user diversity in QoE perception. This paper proposes a personalized QoE assessment model, namely SpeechQoE. It exploits speaker’s speech signals to infer individual’s perceived quality in voice services. SpeechQoE fundamentally addresses the drawback of conventional models. Instead of enumerating and incorporating unlimited QoE-related factors, …

Dataset For Volcano Opto-Acoustics: Mapping The Infrasound Wavefield At Yasur Volcano (Vanuatu), Jeffrey Johnson, Thomas Boyer, Leighton Watson, Jacob Anderson Nov 2022

Dataset For Volcano Opto-Acoustics: Mapping The Infrasound Wavefield At Yasur Volcano (Vanuatu), Jeffrey Johnson, Thomas Boyer, Leighton Watson, Jacob Anderson

Boise State University Infrasound Data Repository

We explore the capabilities of volcano opto-acoustics, a promising technique for measuring explosion and infrasound resonance phenomena at open-vent volcanoes. Joint visual and infrasound study at Yasur Volcano (Vanuatu) demonstrate that even consumer-grade cameras are capable of recording infrasound with high fidelity. Passage of infrasonic waves ranging from 20 Pa to hundreds of Pa, from both explosions and persistent tremor, pressurizes and depressurizes ambient plumes inducing vaporization and condensation respectively and can be used for optical tracking of pressure waves. Image filtering and processing applied to standard video thus appears capable of replicating the spatio-temporal evolution of the sound wavefield. …

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

The success of the mollusc-parasitic nematode, Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita (Schneider) Andrássy (Rhabditida: Rhabditidae), as a biological control agent in Europe has led to worldwide interest in phasmarhabditids as biocontrol agents. In this study, the mass culture potential of three phasmarhabditids, namely Phasmarhabditis papillosa, Phasmarhabditis kenyaensis and Phasmarhabditis bohemica, was assessed. In addition, ten bacterial candidates, consisting of seven associated with slugs and three associated with entomopathogenic nematodes, were investigated. The bacteria were tested for their ability to cause mortality to Deroceras invadens, as well as to support nematode growth. Initial mortality studies demonstrated that Kluyvera, Aeromonas and Pseudomonas spp. (AP3) caused …

Mohamed, Xavier Cheseto, Shepard Ndlela, Tibebe Dejene Biasazin, Abdullahi Ahmed Yusuf, Egmont Rohwer, Teun Dekker

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is a major pest of fruits and vegetables worldwide with documented losses of up to 100%. Various management techniques including the use of parasitoids, such as Fopius arisanus (Sonan) and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) within the context of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach have been deployed for its control. The effectiveness of parasitoids is well understood, but knowledge of the semiochemicals that mediate their behavior, as well as that of the host fruit fly to tree-attached mangoes, is lacking. Here, we first compared the attractiveness of the above-mentioned fruit fly and its parasitoids to volatiles …

"Waaay Beyond Words": Using Voice And Gestures To Catapult Communication, David Páez Nov 2022

"Waaay Beyond Words": Using Voice And Gestures To Catapult Communication, David Páez

Shared Knowledge Conference

"Mmmuuuchísimos años atrás" (mmmaaany years ago). That is what a Colombian speaker would say when describing an event that occurred a long time ago. In doing so, they simulate throwing an imaginary object (like a paper plane), pushing their hands far away from the body. At the same time, they will extend the duration of the words and rise and drop intonation and speaking rate, simulating the sound of throwing that object. This combination of multiple "modalities" of expression (speech sounds and gestures) that resemble the concepts they are conveying is called Multimodal Iconic Expressions (MMIEs). These MMIEs tend to …

Living Roots: Indigenous Agave And Mezcal Cultures, Marsella Macias Nov 2022

Living Roots: Indigenous Agave And Mezcal Cultures, Marsella Macias

Shared Knowledge Conference

"Mezcal is a liquid representation of indigenous culture throughout México." I will never forget my mentor's words when I attended a mezcal tasting he curated in 2015. I had been working with destilados de agave since 2009, before mezcal boomed into the global market, yet I hadn't been able to pin-point what set mezcal uniquely apart from other distillates I worked with throughout my career. It wasn't until I heard his definition that it hit me - mezcal is cultural essence in a bottle. Before journeying profitably across international borders, mezcal traditionally remained in México being sold amongst pueblos and …

Missing Women Within The National Project: A Transnational View Between Mexico And The United States, Megan Tung-Weston Nov 2022

Missing Women Within The National Project: A Transnational View Between Mexico And The United States, Megan Tung-Weston

Shared Knowledge Conference

This investigation analyzes the ways in which the disappearances of women in Mexico have been used as a political tool of manipulation and oppression of the Mexican people (in particular, women of Indigenous descent). After the Mexican Revolution of the twentieth century, the country entered the modern era with the arrival of global conflicts and technological developments. This transition also brought about various social changes relating to gender, which were both beneficial and harmful for women and Indigenous populations. The construction of feminine identity-what it means to be a woman, in Mexico, in the twentieth century-and the social creation of …

Energy Management In Migrating Hummingbirds, Shayne Halter Nov 2022

Energy Management In Migrating Hummingbirds, Shayne Halter

Shared Knowledge Conference

Hummingbirds are the smallest of migratory birds. Their use of hovering flight to feed on nectar results in prodigious rates of energy consumption. At night, when birds are unable to feed, body fat must be used to stay warm. These characteristics make migratory flights to and from northern breeding areas very expensive. To offset these costs, hummingbirds alternate long flights with stopover periods of refueling along the way. Body fat stores, which may account for as much as 40% of a bird's body weight, also provide a buffer if birds find themselves in a nectar "desert" when the need to …

Aging And Learning: Community Engagement And Self-Efficacy In L2 Teaching To Elderly Students, Leticia Rinaldi Nov 2022

Aging And Learning: Community Engagement And Self-Efficacy In L2 Teaching To Elderly Students, Leticia Rinaldi

Shared Knowledge Conference

The elderly population (60 years or older) has been increasing in numbers during the past decades around the world and is expected to reach the number of two billion by 2050 (Scult, Haime, et al 2015; Santos, 2019). In Brazil, the aging population numbers are rising more rapidly compared to the global tendency (Alves, 2020). However, the misconception that elderly people are uncapable or incompetent is still part of the imaginary constructed around the aging population (Minichiello and Coulson, 2005). These perceptions shape the access of older population to resources that are accessible to younger sections of society, causing a …

Assessing The Effects Of Climate Change On Piñon Pine And Its Associated Fungi, Matthew Taylor Nov 2022

Assessing The Effects Of Climate Change On Piñon Pine And Its Associated Fungi, Matthew Taylor

Shared Knowledge Conference

Precipitation patterns are a well understood driver of biological processes across the globe, with the frequency and amount determining where, when, and how plants and other organisms grow and interact. Weather patterns, however, are becoming unpredictable, as climate change is driving an increase in extreme events, such as drought. The importance of rainfall is no more apparent than in global drylands. One critical and widespread ecosystem type, covering 18 million hectares of land throughout the Southwestern U.S., is piñon-juniper (P-J) woodlands. Pinus edulis (piñon pine) is a dominant tree species in P-J woodlands and is both ecologically and culturally important …

Model-Free Data-Driven Control For Nonlinear Systems, Aliakbar Ahmadikashani Nov 2022

Model-Free Data-Driven Control For Nonlinear Systems, Aliakbar Ahmadikashani

Shared Knowledge Conference

A complex heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is hard to model and identify. Due to the diversity of building applications and the coupling of dynamics of the equipment and the building, plant models have significant uncertainty. Black-box modeling of such system e.g. nonlinear autoregressive models, and neural network models can become ill-conditioned, and problematic for control input design. In this research we aim to perform prediction and control based on data for a general nonlinear system subject to constraints. We consider the discrete-time nonlinear state evolution x+ = f (x, u) of the system, where the output y …

Rational Design Of Silica-Based Nanoparticles For Overcoming Barriers Of Sirna Delivery In Relapsed Prostate Cancer Applications, Angelea Maestas-Olguin

Shared Knowledge Conference

The use of exogenous siRNA technology to modulate aberrant protein expression resulting from genetic mutations is a promising therapeutic approach for treatment of diseases such as prostate cancer (PC). The promise of siRNA-based therapeutics is dependent on the development of platforms that effectively protect siRNA from nuclease degradation and deliver the siRNA to the cytosol of target cells. The establishment of nanoparticle-based siRNA delivery platforms have been investigated to mitigate the cost and safety issues associated with viral delivery platforms. In this work, we present the development and characterization of a lipid coated mesoporous silica nanoparticle (LC-MSN) to address the …

Uncanny Is The City: Michael Haneke's Trilogy Of Emotional Glaciation As Anti-Heimat Discourse, Amber Lane Nov 2022

Uncanny Is The City: Michael Haneke's Trilogy Of Emotional Glaciation As Anti-Heimat Discourse, Amber Lane

Shared Knowledge Conference

The Heimatfilm enjoyed great popularity, and was at its peak, in the German-speaking world during the 1950s. The complexity of the concept of Heimat is well-known, evoking feelings of belonging, simplicity, and engagement with non-urban life. My thesis examines Austrian director Michael Haneke's trilogy of emotional glaciation, i.e., the films The Seventh Continent (1989), Benny's Video (1992), and 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance. These three films embody the Heimat concept insofar as uncanny parallels to traditional Heimat films can be identified, but they also contradict it insofar as the films turn tropes of the Heimat film genre on …

Rhizosphere Fungal Assemblages Differentiate By Host Ploidy Level In Mixed-Ploidy Larrea Tridentata Populations, Benjamin Gerstner Nov 2022

Rhizosphere Fungal Assemblages Differentiate By Host Ploidy Level In Mixed-Ploidy Larrea Tridentata Populations, Benjamin Gerstner

Shared Knowledge Conference

Polyploidy-whole genome duplication-is common in plants. Studies over the last several decades have documented numerous mixed-ploidy populations. Whether arising from secondary contact or via whole genome duplication events, the persistence of mixed populations depends on the ability of the minority cytotype to overcome the negative frequency dependent effects of outcrossing with other ploidies, known as Minority Cytotype Exclusion. One mechanism of overcoming Minority Cytotype Exclusion is microbially-mediated niche differentiation (MMND), wherein cytotypes occupy different niches via interactions with different sets of microbes. Inherently cryptic, MMND is underexplored in polyploid plant populations. Here, we search for evidence of MMND in creosotebush …
