Simulating Burr Type Vii Distributions Through The Method Of L-Moments And L-Correlations, Mohan Dev Pant, Todd C. Headrick

Publications

Burr Type VII, a one-parameter non-normal distribution, is among the less studied distributions, especially, in the contexts of statistical modeling and simulation studies. The main purpose of this study is to introduce a methodology for simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type VII distributions through the method of L-moments and L-correlations. The methodology can be applied in statistical modeling of events in a variety of applied mathematical contexts and Monte Carlo simulation studies. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate that L-moment-based Burr Type VII distributions are superior to their conventional moment-based analogs in terms of distribution fitting and estimation. Simulation results …

In Vitro Culture Of Bovine Preantral Follicles: A Review, Valdevane R Araújo, Melba O Gastal, José R Figueiredo, Eduardo L Gastal

Peer-reviewed Articles

Preantral follicles are the majority of the ovarian follicle population and their use as a source of homogeneous oocytes for bovine reproductive biotechnologies could result in a substantial advance in this field. However, while in other species embryos and offspring have been produced, in bovine species the results have been limited to the follicular activation of small (primordial) preantral follicles and formation of early antral follicles from large (secondary) preantral follicles after in vitro culture. Therefore, this review will highlight the basic aspects of bovine folliculogenesis by focusing on preantral follicles, the methods of harvesting preantral follicles, the main results …

Quantitative Trait Loci Underlying Partial Resistance To Cercospora Sojina Race 2 Detected In Soybean Seedlings In Greenhouse Assays, Hemlata Sharma, David A. Lightfoot

Articles

Cercospora sojina (Hara), an air-borne pathogen, infects soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] leaves causing frog-eye leaf spot (FLS). Three major genes (Rcs1-3) underlie resistance to the major races of FLS but two were not yet mapped. In addition quantitative trait loci provide partial resistance to many strains. FLS race 2 was an isolate first collected in the 1950’s when damaging FLS first arose. ‘Essex’ was partially resistant while ‘Forrest’ was partially susceptible to mixed races of FLS. The objective here was to identify quantitative trait loci underlying resistance to FLS race 2 in the greenhouse using recombinant inbred lines (RILs) …

The Ethical Debate Of Drone Journalism: Flying Into The Future Of Reporting, John C. Jarvis

Research Papers

Unmanned aerial vehicles – a.k.a. drones – have left the realm of science fiction and are making their way into use by businesses, the Department of Homeland Security, law enforcement officials and news organizations in the United States. Their potential as a newsgathering tool is only just now being explored – but can these machines maneuver around the ethical and legislative obstacles that threaten to block their use? This paper will look at the definition of what constitutes a drone, the legal arguments for and against their use and the status of drone legislation in the United States, the pros …

The Process And Development Of A University Healthcare Mobile Application., Makenzie Scott

Research Papers

In this project, I’ve researched the impact of M-Health among smartphone use in today’s society. Smartphone habits have been researched as well as what type of health care information college aged students are seeking out. This research, including a survey of uses and perceptions of mobile apps and interests in healthcare topics, will help with the creation of a university health center mobile app. This app will fulfill the needs of the students and the university while creating a healthier campus environment.

Living And Leaving Lolita: An Autoethnography Of Identification And Transcendence, Rebecca Murphy-Keith

Kaleidoscope: A Graduate Journal of Qualitative Communication Research

The dominant discourses around Lolita frame her as either an empowered seductress or a passive victim, but neither discourse delves into what it means to be Lolita, what it is like to embody the construct. Using a critical lens and layered autoethnographic account, I invite readers to experience and reflect on what it means to live Lolita. I argue that as an avatar for the present construction of femininity, Lolita operates as a tool of symbolic violence. By expressing the consequences of living Lolita and connecting my narrative to the broader social construction of gender, I hope to challenge the …

Needs Met Through Role-Playing Games: A Fantasy Theme Analysis Of Dungeons & Dragons, Aubrie S. Adams

Kaleidoscope: A Graduate Journal of Qualitative Communication Research

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is an immersive fantasy role-playing game (RPG) which allows players to fulfill real-world social needs through interaction. Although D&D may appear to be a game of simple make-believe, the emotions, camaraderie, and accomplishments experienced by players are real, thus suggesting that RPGs have real-world implications for players. Therefore, the goal of this study is to explore the ways in which players fulfill social needs through group communication during the context of D&D table-top role-play. Utilizing Bormann’s (1972) fantasy theme analysis, this study uses a case study approach to identify four themes which emerged within player talk …
