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

Earth and Planetary Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

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 …

Triplemask Spatial Linear Filter And Neutrosophic Entropy For Video Denoising, Face Detection And Recognition In Forensic Crime Analysis Using Deep Learning, Anita Sigamani, Prema Selvaraj

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Forensic Science is the application of Scientific methods to resolve crime and legal issues. It involves various disciplines, such as Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry and Anthropology. Forensic scientists examine and analyze evidence from crime scenes, such as fingerprints, DNA, blood, or weapons. Digital proof is one of the forms of forensic evidence. It provide real time eye witness of the incident. Video recordings enable investigators to find out what exactly has transpired. Investigators use video evidence as a source for witness statements, and it aids in the search for the missing person or suspect. Video evidence is also used to …

Approach To Multi-Criteria Decision-Making In A Neutrosophic Picture Hyper-Soft Set Environment Using Generalized Neutrosophic Topsis, Manpreet Kaur, Akanksha Singh

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Given the complexity of today’s world, we might need to work with numbers requiring multi-attribute functions, such as those having positive, neutral, and negative membership and those having truth, indeterminacy, and falsity membership. Adding these numbers together to get a single real number is the most important factor. In situations like this, decision-makers have more difficult choices and are unable to apply the single attribute function of the soft set theory. To address this constraint, the hyper-soft set theory with multi-attribute functions is introduced. We combine the notion of neutrosophic hypersoft set with picture fuzzy hypersoft set to form a …

Additionally, we identify various characteristics of them. Additionally, SVQN-d-I and SVQN-d-A examples have been provided.

Theory Of Distances In Neutrogeometry, Erick González Caballero, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

NeutroGeometry is one of the most recent approaches to geometry. In NeutroGeometry mod els, the main condition is to satisfy an axiom, definition, property, operator and so on, that is neither entirely true nor entirely false. When one of these concepts is not satisfied at all it is called AntiGeometry. One of the problems that this new theory has had is the scarcity of models. Another open problem is the definition of angle and distance measurements within the framework of NeutroGeometry. This paper aims to introduce a general theory of distance measures in any NeutroGeometry. We also present an algorithm …

Evaluation Strategies Of Leadership Management In Healthcare Systems: An Integrated Type-Ii Neutrosophic Optimization Approach, Areej Hamoud Alharbi, Hayam M. Jabali, Preethi Rajan

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study presented a decision-making methodology to evaluate leadership management strategies in healthcare systems. This study used the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology to deal with conflicting criteria in the decision-making process. The MCDM methodology is integrated with neutrosophic sets to deal with uncertainty and vague information in decision-making. The neutrosophic set has three memberships: truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. The type-2 neutrosophic set is a subset of the neutrosophic set with nine membership degrees. The neutrosophic set integrated with the COPRAS method to rank the alternatives. fourteen criteria and eleven alternatives are used to evaluate leadership management in healthcare systems. The …

Utility Of Neurodynamic Techniques In Diabetes Mellitus From The Plitogenic Statistical Approach, Lisbeth Josefina Reales Chacón, Josselyn G. Bonilla Ayala, Andrea Carolina Peñafiel Luna, Paul Adrian Arias Cordova, Angela Campos Moposita

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is an illness condition in which the glucose level is abnormal and causes harm to the peripheral nervous fibers originating the diabetic neuropathy. The major frequent damage occurs in the sensory-motor system, whose sym ptoms include alteration in tactile perception, temperature, and loss of sensitivity in hands and feet. The evidence for treatments that include neural mobilization is limited, so this study aims to determine if intervention strategies with neural mobilization improve both sensory and functional responses in the neuropathy diabetic peripheral. We selected plithogenic statistics to carry out the statistical study because this disease is …

Analysis Of Scientific Production On Neutrosophy: A Latin American Perspective, Oscar E. Velázquez-Soto, Eduardo Enrique Chibas Muñoz, Maykel Leyva Vazquez, Lee Yang Díaz Chieng, Jesús Estupiñan Ricardo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Neutrosophy is a branch of philosophy proposed in 1998 by Romanian philosopher and mathematician F. Smarandache, which studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutrality and its interaction with different spectra of ideas. Because it is a relatively new field, specific scientific production on this subject may be limited, but as it develops, new research and contributions are likely to emerge. This is why it is becoming more necessary to undertake studies to understand the evolution, impact, and scope of research, especially in a context where it had never been examined in depth before: in the Latin American region. This …

Physical And Stochiometric Controls On Nutrient Uptake And Ecosystem Respiration In Contrasting Sites, Jancoba K. Dorley

Civil Engineering ETDs

Meteorological, hydrological, and biogeochemical processes naturally control stream ecosystems. These processes define the frequency and distribution of precipitation and the supply and demand of solutes and particles to support aquatic food chains through space and time. Studies have also found that stream ecosystems are also controlled by anthropogenic activities, which occur on a much shorter timescale. These anthropogenic activities affect stream ecosystems' structure and function from local to planetary changes to the environment. It is essential for scientists and engineers to understand the relationships between naturally occurring processes and those created by human activities for a better interpretation of stream …

Predictors Of Success In Controlled Drinking Outcomes, Felicia Rose Tuchman

Psychology ETDs

In order for clients to make informed decisions about what treatment goal is best for them and for clinicians to help clients bolster their chances of recovery, it is critical that we know for whom non-abstinence-based treatment goals are most effective. We collected data from 143 treatment-seeking adults with AUD. The final sample consisted of participants with baseline goals of controlled drinking and follow-up data (N = 25). Success for individuals with controlled drinking goals was not predicted by any of the variables studied in multiple regression analysis. Results of latent change score analyses indicate that participants of lower …

“So, Like… Tú Sabes”: An Approach To Bilingual Discourse Markers In Puerto Rican Spanish Oral Interaction (Piero Visconte, Pp. 21-45), Piero Visconte

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

This paper examines discourse markers (DMs) (i.e., pues, entonces, you know, so, I mean, etc.) and their linguistic variations in contexts of English-Spanish interaction in Puerto Rico. This linguistic category represents an aspect of discourse analysis that has captivated great interest in recent years, since its “main function is to connect utterances to each other and to the larger context” (Crible and Blackwell 2020: 24). As shown in several sociolinguistic research articles conducted in the Puerto Rican diaspora of New York City in the last twenty years (Torres 1997, 2002; Lipski 2005), the profound and protracted contact between Spanish and …

Evolution In Complex Systems: A Computational Prespective, Andisheh Dadashi

Computer Science ETDs

As we are entering the era of multi-omic datasets, it is increasingly evident that the complexities of natural systems exceed the capabilities of current computational methodologies. My dissertation research aims to reduce this gap by using computational frameworks to investigate the evolution of complex systems. I apply a model of metabolic networks to predict human embryonic metabolism during peri-implantation (Chapter I), offering insights into the foundations of early human development. This dissertation further examines the basis of the phenotypic evolution of polygenic traits when subjected to directional (Chapter II) and temporally varying environmental shifts (Chapter III), revealing the roles of …

Mindful Parenting And Harsh Parenting: The Indirect Role Of Maternal Stress, Heidi M. Sanders

Individual, Family, and Community Education ETDs

This study explored associations between maternal mindful parenting (i.e., mindful discipline, being in the moment with the child), maternal parental stress, and harsh parenting (i.e., physical and psychological harsh parenting) in early childhood. A sample of 172 mothers of young children in New Mexico completed questionnaires assessing perceived parental stress, use of harsh parenting, and mindful parenting. Results of the path model analysis demonstrated that being mindful in the moment with the child was directly, negatively associated with physical harsh parenting and also negatively associated with perceived stress. Mindful discipline was directly, negatively associated with both psychological aggression and perceived …

Rogowski coils, XRD radiation detectors, framing camera images and time integrated DSLR images are used to further understand load conditions where current data, x ray radiation data, velocity data and instability …

Utilization Of Dexmedetomidine Positively Impacts Length Of Hospitalization In A Neonatal Intensive Care Population, Austin Carrier, Dane G. Winter, Zoe Henderson, Jessica Gross, Eleni Shenk, Jessie R. Maxwell

2024 Pediatric Research Forum Session

Background: Pain medication use in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) can be highly challenging due to concerns for negative impact on long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes. Many commonly utilized pain medications and sedatives such as midazolam, fentanyl, and morphine have problematic side effects, for example, decreased gut motility, that can prolong time to full feeds and increase hospital length of stay. Dexmedetomidine may be a safe alternative, although ongoing investigations are needed to determine which patient populations may safely receive this medication.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed of term infants admitted to the NICU at the University of New …

2024 Pediatric Research Forum Session

Background:

Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) occurs following in utero opioid exposure and prolongs newborn hospitalizations. NOWS severity has traditionally been assessed using the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring Tool (FNAST). In recent years, the Eat, Sleep, Console care approach (ESC) was developed and has been rapidly adopted. This research proposed to compare various outcomes in infants managed with FNAST vs ESC.

Methods:

This study was a multicenter, stepped-wedge, cluster randomized trial which evaluated infants who were ≥36 weeks gestation and managed for NOWS at one of 26 sites Hospitals were randomized to transition from usual care (UC) with the FNAST …
