Bipolar Neutrosophic Driven Approach For Assessing The Teaching Quality Of English Language And Literature Learning Outcomes, Keyan Zhao

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The quality of teaching in English Language and Literature is a crucial factor in enhancing student learning outcomes, fostering critical thinking, and promoting linguistic and literary proficiency. Nevertheless, the procedure of assessing the quality of English teaching remains a thought-provoking task since it typically depends on individual judgments, variety in criteria, and inconsistency in human observation, resulting in intrinsic uncertainty. Bipolar Neutrosophic Sets (BNS) offer an expressive way to model ambiguity in a bipolar manner using three positive and three negative memberships. Motivated by that, we propose to explore the novel approach based on BNS to improve the judgmental process …

Mg And Fe Co-Doped Perovskites For The Electrochemical Oxidative Coupling Of Methane In Solid Oxide Electrolyzers, Luke H. Denoyer

Chemical and Biological Engineering ETDs

More efficient usage of shale gas reserves and natural gas resources will allow for higher olefin yields and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is a direct pathway for converting methane to ethylene at temperatures >700 °C. The OCM process is typically regulated via the choice of catalyst, reactor conditions, temperature range and gas mixing. The electrochemical oxidative coupling of methane (E-OCM) is a modification to the OCM reaction by controlling the oxygen content via externally applied potentials to an SOEC. Perovskite oxide catalysts are useful for E-OCM due to their flexible bond networks and desired …

Late Cretaceous Ammonites And Other Non-Rudist Mollusks From Costa Rica And Their Paleoecology, Esteban David Lopez-Murillo

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Nicoya region in northwestern Costa Rica contains a rich record of Upper Cretaceous fossiliferous sediments, which have received variable levels of study over the past several decades. In particular, rudists from these deposits have been well-characterized, however, the non-rudist ammonite, gastropod, and bivalve fauna have received much less attention. However, this area is particularly important because the Nicoya region was attached to the southernmost tip of North America, making it a unique crossroad between the western Tethys (Caribbean) and Pacific Oceans. Here I present a detailed investigation of these rocks and their fauna between the Late Campanian to Early …

Superhypersoft Framework For College English Blended Teaching Quality Evaluation In The New Era: Addressing Uncertainty And Complexity, Dahai Zhang

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

A Single-Valued Neutrosophic Set (SVNS) is a powerful tool for representing uncertainty, ambiguity, and incomplete or inconsistent information in real-world scenarios. This approach is particularly effective for handling uncertain measurements and data. Building on the concept of fuzzy set entropy, the SVN-entropy method has been developed to support multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes. In this study, SVN-entropy is combined with the SuperHyperSoft (HSS) framework—an extension of HyperSoft sets— to evaluate different criteria and sub-criteria with varying values. The proposed method uses entropy to calculate criteria weights, which are then applied to assess the quality of College English Blended Teaching in the …

For years, the majority of courts have ruled that parents of children with disabilities were required to exhaust special education due process procedures before filing civil actions under other disability statutes. Change would come through Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools. In Luna Perez, a deaf student, Miguel Luna Perez, was denied a free and appropriate education for eleven years. After settling the case under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Mr. Luna Perez (initially through his mother, but later continuing on his own) filed a claim for compensatory damages under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section …

Actualizing Indigenous Data Sovereignty Through Tribal Self-Governance, Bailey Ulbricht

New Mexico Law Review

Data, as described by a Yurok Tribe council member, is “the original theft”—the first thing stolen from Native peoples in the United States. Indigenous data sovereignty seeks to redress this and prevent future data infractions by placing Indigenous communities in charge of decision-making about their own data. Yet with no established body of federal case law on tribal data authority, it is not immediately clear how Indigenous data sovereignty would fit within the complex and contradictory web of federal caselaw that confines tribes’ inherent sovereignty. This Article seeks to address this gap. First, as a policy matter, it argues that …

Performance-Based Full Depth Reclamation Design, Moatasem H. Algburi
