Undocumented: A Hidden Population In Plain Sight, Eunice B. Anomakoh

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

Recipient of the award for Best Personal Argument ($100)

For this paper, I began by examining myself to find a personal experience and then conducting research to contextualize and allow my audience to better understand my experience. For the first part (the narrative section) I did a first draft and then a final draft. For the second portion (the research portion) I completed an annotated bibliography, a rough draft, and a final draft. My professor and I then revised the completed copy together before submitting it.

Racing To Equality: A Critique Of Female Exclusion In Motorsports, Luke Colegrove

Line by Line: A Journal of Beginning Student Writing

I wrote this article as an assignment for my ENG 198 class. We were originally assigned to establish a research-supported argument on the subject of gender, choosing the direction we wanted to take. As a fan of all types of motorsports, I noticed a lack of competition among males and females on the professional level. There are numerous examples of talented women in the sport, and I believed their voices needed to be heard. This inspired me to develop this piece of writing. After multiple drafts, peer reviews, and personal critiques by my professor, I was able to create an …

The Truth In Building Community, Sarah Yaroma

Blog Archive: River Reflections at the University of Dayton

From the moment that I walked onto UD’s campus back in 2019, my tour guide brought to my attention that for the next four years I would hear one word repeatedly, and that word is community. Now after living at UD for the past three years, I have been able to explicitly see the community that has been built and partake in community building through engaging in parents weekend activities, for example, and seeing how many people come together to celebrate the gift that we have of being a Flyer. This idea of community has been instilled in us as …

Multi-Modal Mutual Information Maximization: A Novel Approach For Unsupervised Deep Cross-Modal Hashing, Tuan Hoang, Thanh-Toan Do, Tam V. Nguyen, Ngai-Man Cheung

Computer Science Faculty Publications

In this article, we adopt the maximizing mutual information (MI) approach to tackle the problem of unsupervised learning of binary hash codes for efficient cross-modal retrieval. We proposed a novel method, dubbed cross-modal info-max hashing (CMIMH). First, to learn informative representations that can preserve both intramodal and intermodal similarities, we leverage the recent advances in estimating variational lower bound of MI to maximizing the MI between the binary representations and input features and between binary representations of different modalities. By jointly maximizing these MIs under the assumption that the binary representations are modeled by multivariate Bernoulli distributions, we can learn …

The Impact Of Anaerobic Exposure And Propionate On The Kinetics And Pathogenesis Of Listeria Monocytogenes, Mackenzie T. Martin

Honors Theses

Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen commonly found in ready-to-eat deli and dairy products. This foodborne pathogen is responsible for the disease listeriosis, which disproportionately impacts immunocompromised individuals. This research aims to evaluate how natural intestinal environments influence the pathogenesis of Listeria. One particular environmental condition that has a well-documented effect on Listeria is varying levels of oxygen. Specifically, anaerobic exposure during the growth of Listeria greatly impacts subsequent intracellular pathogenesis. When grown and adapted under anaerobic conditions, Listeria overall exhibits decreased intracellular survival and decreased cell to cell spread. However, the presence of propionate, a natural byproduct of fermentation …
