Contrast-Detail Analysis Characterizing Diffuse Optical Fluorescence Tomography Image Reconstruction, Scott C. Davis, Brian W. Pogue, Hamid Dehghani, Keith D. Paulsen

Dartmouth Scholarship

Contrast-detail analysis is used to evaluate the imaging performance of diffuse optical fluorescence tomography (DOFT), characterizing spatial resolution limits, signal-to-noise limits, and the trade-off between object contrast and size. Reconstructed images of fluorescence yield from simulated noisy data were used to determine the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). A threshold of CNR=3 was used to approximate a lowest acceptable noise level in the image, as a surrogate measure for human detection of objects. For objects 0.5 cm inside the edge of a simulated tissue region, the smallest diameter that met this criteria was approximately 1.7 mm, regardless of contrast level, and test …

Science And Design: A Personal Essay, Wendy Olson

UNIversitas: Journal of Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity

The essay addresses why 'Intelligent Design' (ID) does not qualify as science, and why the distinction between science and ID matters. Furthermore, it discusses the anti-evolution undercurrent that characterizes ID politics. ID proponents give the impression that evolutionary theory is somehow faulty or incomplete, that educators are bound to "teach the controversy" or give alternate explanations for biological diversity, in the interests of academic freedom. Some of this stems from misinformation or misunderstanding of evolution and evolutionary theory, but much is motivated by religious belief, which brings the issue into the arena of constitutional law.

Communicating In A Group, Jack C. Straton

Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations

Student-centered learning requires teachers to provide students with opportunities to learn from and with each other, but most students come to group-work ill-equipped to handle the responsibility of cleanly communicating with each other. This paper provides one set of group-communication tools that helps students to become conscious molders of their own communication styles in relation to those of their peers.

Guide To Nebraska’S Wetlands And Their Conservation Needs: Second Edition, 2005, Ted Lagrange

Nebraska Game and Parks Commission: Publications

Wetlands — a source of great interest, and at times conflict. Wetlands represent different things to different people. At times they’re viewed as shallow, muddy nuisances while at other times they’re viewed as wonderful, varied and productive assets. This is because wetlands take on many roles as part of a complex and dynamic system. Understanding wetlands and wetland issues requires understanding the complex and varying roles that wetlands can play. To aid in this understanding, this guide defines wetlands, discusses their importance and dynamics, identifies threats and losses, describes conservation programs, and takes an in-depth look at Nebraska’s regional wetland …

Survey Of Specific Fish Pathogens In Free-Ranging Fish From Devils Lake, North Dakota, Crystal Hudson, Kenneth Peters

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

Several biological surveys have been performed at Devils Lake, North Dakota to provide timely information to resource managers to assess the potential for biota transfer from the operation of an outlet designed to carry water to the Sheyenne River. In July, 2005 more than 300 fish were collected from Devils Lake and tested for fish pathogens and parasites using protocols and procedures of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wild Fish Health Survey. Eight fish health biologists from the Bozeman and LaCrosse Fish Health Centers worked cooperatively with the Missouri River Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Office, North …

Easy's Gettin' Harder All The Time: The Computational Theory And Affective States, Jason Megill, Jon Cogburn

Faculty Publications

We argue that A. Damasio's (1994) Somatic Marker hypothesis can explain why humans don't generally suffer from the frame problem, arguably the greatest obstacle facing the Computational Theory of Mind. This involves showing how humans with damaged emotional centers are best understood as actually suffering from the frame problem. We are then able to show that, paradoxically, these results provide evidence for the Computational Theory of Mind, and in addition call into question the very distinction between easy and hard problems in the contemporary philosophy of mind. © Blackwell Publishing Ltd. 2005.
