A More Efficient Nonparametric Test Of Symmetry Based On Overlapping Coefficient, Hani M. Samawi, Robert L. Vogel

Biostatistics: Faculty Publications

In this paper we provide a more efficient nonparametric test of symmetry based on the empirical overlap coefficient using kernel density estimation applied to an extreme order statistics, namely extreme ranked set sampling. Our simulation investigation reveals that our proposed test of symmetry is at least as powerful as currently available tests of symmetry. Intensive simulation is conducted to examine the power of the proposed test. An illustration is provided using cardiac output and body weight of neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Achieving Success With Pbis: The Teacher’S Role, Adrienne Boisson, Andre Byrd, Chris Williams

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

The goal of this presentation is to help high school teachers feel less overwhelmed with the idea of implementing PBIS in their daily routine:

• By clearly delineating the PBIS initiative, a definition of what PBIS is and what PBIS isn’t, how PBIS can impact your school culture, and the importance of data sharing
• By offering a step-by-step guide of what it looks like to implement PBIS in your classroom on a daily/weekly/monthly basis
• By providing PBIS resources, strategies, and examples of PBIS best practices utilized at NHS

Rambassadors: Making Student Leadership The Cornerstone Of Pbis Success, Adrienne Boisson, Andre Byrd, Chris Williams

Georgia Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference

The goal of this presentation is to share the impact of a successful PBIS student advisory organization. Presenters will give an in-depth explanation of the development of their program to include:

1. We are RAMS: the history of PBIS at Newton High School and how it influences school culture.
2. RAMbassadorS: Modeling the Ideal RAMS; using students to exemplify school expectations of success focusing on the following characteristics: mindset, service, and appearance
3. Laying the groundwork: Preparing student leaders for service from application process to active duty

Pmsm Sensorless Speed Control Drive, Youakim Kalaani, Rami J. Haddad, Adel El-Shahat

Electrical & Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) are very popular in many industrial applications such as in mechatronics, automotive, energy storage flywheels, centrifugal compressors, vacuum pumps, and robotics. This paper proposes Sensorless control for a PMSM speed drive which is based on a closed loop control system using a proportional and integral (PI) controller that is designed to operate in flux weakening regions under a constant torque angle. This Sensorless element was adopted for best estimating the PMSM rotor position based on its performance characteristics eliminating the need for speed sensors which are usually required in such control applications. To achieve this …

Overview Of Inference About Roc Curve In Medical Diagnosis, Jingjing Yin

Biostatistics: Faculty Publications

Medical diagnosis aims to identify diseased individuals through the evaluation of the measurements of some biomarkers by performing a diagnostic test based on some biomarker measurements. Biomarkers are measured on either discrete or continuous scale and continuous biomarkers are utilized more often in medical practice. This article introduces the most popular tool for evaluating continuous biomarkers: the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.

Quantum States Localized On Lagrangian Submanifolds, François Ziegler

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Presentations (1991-2022)

Let X be a symplectic manifold and Aut(L) the automorphism group of a Kostant-Souriau line bundle on X. *Quantum states for X*, as defined by J.-M. Souriau in the 1990s, are certain positive-definite functions on Aut(L) or, less ambitiously, on any “large enough” subgroup G of Aut(L). This definition has two major drawbacks: when G = Aut(L) there are no known examples; and when G is a Lie subgroup the notion is far from selective enough. In this talk I’ll introduce the concept of a quantum state *localized at Y *, where Y is a coadjoint orbit of a subgroup …

Participants will have working time to engage in brainstorming ideas for connecting with their site/district SIP and SIP goals.

Water Resources And The Historic Wells Of Barbuda: Tradition, Heritage And Hope For A Sustainable Future, Rebecca Boger, Sophia Perdikaris, Amy E. Potter, John Mussington

Earth, Environment & Sustainability: Faculty Publications

The island of Barbuda has a relatively unique history, land tenure and geography. Unlike its Caribbean counterparts, the island is not suited to large-scale agriculture due to its arid climate and relatively thin soils. Instead, the enslaved and eventually free people of Barbuda developed a complex herding ecology centered on common land ownership. As a result, carefully designed historic wells are strategically located around the island. With the challenges brought about by climate change, an interdisciplinary, international team led by the Barbuda Research Complex is investigating the state of existing water and food resources and examining how the availability and …

Functions On Adjacent Vertex Degrees Of Trees With Given Degree Sequence, Hua Wang

Mathematical Sciences: Faculty Publications

In this note we consider a discrete symmetric function f(x, y) where f(x; a) + f(y, b) ≥ f(y, a) + f(x, b) for any x ≥ y and a ≥ b, associated with the degrees of adjacent vertices in a tree. The extremal trees with respect to the corresponding graph invariant, defined as Σ _uv∈E(T) f(deg(u), deg(v)), are characterized by the “greedy tree” and “alternating greedy tree”. This is achieved through simple generalizations of previously used ideas on similar questions. As special cases, the already known extremal structures of the Randić index follow as corollaries. The extremal structures for …
