Variables That Predict Success In Mathematics For Females In Highereducation: An Analysis Of Quantitative And Qualitative Predictors, Dottie L. King

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Female students in higherEducation do not pursue high-level mathematics courses in the same proportion as males and this creates lessened opportunities for them. This mixed-methods study investigated attitudes as well as achievement factors that encourage or inhibit success for female students in mathematics. Mathematics SAT/ACT scores and high school courses of first-year students at a private women's college in the Midwest were used as achievement data; seven of the Fennema-Sherman scales provided attitudinal data. Multiple regression techniques were used to determine whether attitudinal or achievement variables best predict success and to create a model with the first college-level mathematics grade …

The History Of Wrongful Execution, Bruce P. Smith

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Since the refinement of forensic DNA analysis in the early 199os, the problem of "wrongful execution" -the execution of persons who are actually innocent or the risk that such persons might be executed-has received considerable attention from scholars, legal practitioners, politicians, jurists, and social activists. The history of wrongful execution, however, remains unwritten.

This Article demonstrates that the problem of wrongful execution, although often considered to be a modern-day concern, preoccupied leading Anglo-American legal commentators in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Troubled by several notorious instances of wrongful execution, prominent writers such as Matthew Hale and William Blackstone urged courts …

Improving Root Health And Yield Of Dry Beans In The Nebraska Panhandle With A New Technique For Reducing Soil Compaction, Robert M. Harveson, John A. Smith, Walter W. Stroup

Panhandle Research and Extension Center

A field study conducted during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons investigated the integration of fungicide applications and tillage methods for reducing root health problems in dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants by alleviating soil compaction and its potential exacerbation of root disease. Several cultural practices were combined with applications of the strobilurin fungicide azoxystrobin. Soil compaction was created artificially throughout the entire plot area. Six treatments, consisting of four tillage treatments and two combinations of tillage or applications of azoxystrobin, were tested to alleviate the compaction and enhance root health. Tillage treatments included a compacted control with no …

Case Study: Tympanic Temperature And Behavior Associated With Moving Feedlot Cattle, T. L. Mader, M. S. Davis, W. M. Kreikemeier

Preconditioning Of Primary Human Endothelial Cells With Inflammatory Mediators Alters The “Set Point” Of The Cell, Youichiro Wada, Hasan H. Otu, Shengqian Wu, Md. Ruhul Abid, Hitomi Okada, Towia Libermann, Tatsuhiko Kodama, Shu-Ching Shih, Takashi Minami, William C. Aird

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

Endothelial cells are highly sensitive to changes in the extracellular milieu. Sepsis results in activation of inflammatory and coagulation pathways. We hypothesized that sepsis-associated mediators may alter the response capacity (so-called “set point”) of endothelial cells. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were preincubated in the presence or absence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), hypoxia, hyperthermia, and/or high glucose; treated with or without thrombin for 4 h; and then processed for RNase protection assays of selected activation markers. Priming with TNF-α and LPS significantly inhibited thrombin-mediated induction of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, tissue factor, and …

Self-Assembly Of Nanoparticles On Live Bacterium: An Avenue To Fabricate Electronic Devices, Vikas Berry, Ravi F. Saraf

Ravi Saraf Publications

Lysine-capped gold nanoparticles can be electrostatically assembled on the surface of Bacillus cerius, a Gram-Positive bacterium. The conductivity of the “gold-plated” bacteria assembly immobilized between electrodes is a function of the humidity experienced by the nanoparticles.

Observations Of The Small-Scale Variability Of Precipitation Using An Imaging Radar, Robert D. Palmer, Boon Leng Cheong, Michael Hoffman, Stephen J. Frasier, F.J. Lopez-Dekker

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering: Faculty Publications

For many years, spatial and temporal inhomogeneities in precipitation fields have been studied using scanning radars, cloud radars, and disdrometers, for example. Each measurement technique has its own advantages and disadvantages. Conventional profiling radars point vertically and collect data while the atmosphere advects across the field of view. Invoking Taylor’s frozen turbulence hypothesis, it is possible to construct time-history data, which are used to study the structure and dynamics of the atmosphere. In the present work, coherent radar imaging is used to estimate the true three-dimensional structure of the atmosphere within the field of view of the radar. The 915-MHz …

Upon Further Review: Why The Nfl May Not Be Free After Clarett, And Why Professional Sports May Be Free From Antitrust Law, Darren W. Dummit

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

This note begins by reviewing the Jewel Tea line of cases that theoretically serve as the starting point for any non-statutory exemption discussion, followed by brief overviews of the contrasting Wood and Mackey lines of cases. The background section then turns to a summary of Brown--the latest Supreme Court decision relating to the collective bargaining process in professional sports--followed by a brief discussion of the NFL eligibility rule and how it differs from the recently-enacted NBA eligibility rule, which is of unquestioned legality. Finally, both the District Court and Court of Appeals decisions in Clarett are summarized.

The analysis begins …

Language Production: A Complex Dynamic System With A Chronometric Footprint, Kim Kirsner, John Dunn, Kathryn Hird

Medical Conference Papers

In this paper we outline a new approach to the study of language production. Central to this approach is the assumption that communication takes place in a dynamic environment in which cognitive resources are deployed to achieve ‘Right-Time’ as distinct from ‘Fast-as-Possible’ solutions. This is based on the assumption that language production includes a single, integrated, interactive process that recruits and coordinates information from a variety of internal, external and interactive sources to build each speech segment. The output of this process is reflected in the longer of the two log-normal pause duration distributions observed in spontaneous speech (Kirsner, Dunn, …

Terminator Or Super Mario: Human/Computer Hybrids, Actual And Virtual, Noreen L. Herzfeld

Theology Faculty Publications

Is a human/computer hybrid feasible: If so, in what ways would such hybridization affect our concept of what it means to be human? There are two forms of such hybridization, the actual and the virtual. Actual hybridization involves the implantation of mechanical devices in the human body. In actual hybridization the computer comes to us and to our body to enhance our functioning in our world. In virtual hybridization we go to the computer, projecting our minds into the world of cyberspace and being formed there. Perhaps the most common form of virtual hybridization is the immersion our children experience …
