A Semiotics Framework For Analyzing Data Provenance Research, Jun Liu, Sudha Ram Jan 2008

A Semiotics Framework For Analyzing Data Provenance Research, Jun Liu, Sudha Ram

Research & Publications

Data provenance is the background knowledge that enables a piece of data to be interpreted and used correctly within context. The importance of tracking provenance is widely recognized, as witnessed by significant research in various areas including e-science, homeland security, and data warehousing and business intelligence. In order to further advance the research on date and identity specific topics that merit further investigation. In this work, we develop a framework based on semiotics theory to assist in analyzing and comparing existing provenance research at the conceptual level. We provide a detailed review of data provenance research and compare and contrast …

Treatment Practices Of Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Developmental Psychopathology Perspective, Deborah Watson Jan 2008

Treatment Practices Of Childhood Sexual Abuse: A Developmental Psychopathology Perspective, Deborah Watson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) occurs in up to 9.9 % of the general population. Clinical implications of CSA are lasting and warrant treatment utilizing suitable approaches. Although the developmental psychopathology model encourages clinicians to evaluate disorders in the context of risk/protective factors, cultural issues and development, there is a gap in current research regarding the utilization of developmental theory among clinicians working with this population. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine consistent patterns in treatment practices employed by therapists with CSA patients. The primary research question in this study was to determine how closely therapists' actual treatment …


The Relationship Of Self -Evaluation, Writing Ability, And Attitudes Toward Writing Among Gifted Grade 7 Language Arts Students, Lisa Dement Jan 2008

The Relationship Of Self -Evaluation, Writing Ability, And Attitudes Toward Writing Among Gifted Grade 7 Language Arts Students, Lisa Dement

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Previous research has indicated that literary skills performance in reading and writing for middle school students has declined. There remains an important gap in the current literature regarding the decline in literary skills, which is a good predictor of the potential for students to drop out of school. The goal of this study was to determine if the use of self-evaluation influences students' writing ability and their attitudes toward writing. Using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design, and over the course of 10 weeks, the researcher administered a writing pre- and posttest, as well as a pre- and posttest Writing …

Ultrashort Laser Pulse Heating Of Nanoparticles: Comparison Of Theoretical Approaches, Thomas George, R. Letfullin Jan 2008

Ultrashort Laser Pulse Heating Of Nanoparticles: Comparison Of Theoretical Approaches, Thomas George, R. Letfullin

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Works

The interaction between nanoparticles and ultrashort laser pulses holds great interest in laser nanomedicine, introducing such possibilities as selective cell targeting to create highly localized cell damage. Two models are studied to describe the laser pulse interaction with nanoparticles in the femtosecond, picosecond, and nanosecond regimes. The first is a two-temperature model using two coupled diffusion equations: one describing the heat conduction of electrons, and the other that of the lattice. The second model is a one-temperature model utilizing a heat diffusion equation for the phonon subsystem and applying a uniform heating approximation throughout the particle volume. A comparison of …


Visual Analysis: Yellowtown The Aesthetics Of Poverty, The Graphic Design Of Urgency, Karen Lewis Jan 2008

Visual Analysis: Yellowtown The Aesthetics Of Poverty, The Graphic Design Of Urgency, Karen Lewis

RIT Digital Archives

Pawn shops, pay-day-advance brokers, national check cashiers, gun and ammunition suppliers, discount cigarettes, beer, and liquor, 24-hour locksmiths, and automotive repair shops (figure 1, following page) frequently use a bright, shiny, plastic, primarily-yellow colored signage to identify themselves. These businesses, aimed especially at those in a state of urgency or distress, are often located in the poorest areas of the city. Because of the consistency of the use of the color yellow by these urgent businesses, and because of the limited areas where they appear “to belong,” a massing of yellow signage color codes the poorest parts of the city …


Changing Places: The Cost Of Actualizing The Imagined, Gethin Davison Jan 2008

Changing Places: The Cost Of Actualizing The Imagined, Gethin Davison

RIT Digital Archives

The tension between proposals for urban change and a desire to protect the existing ‘place-identity’ of established neighborhoods is a key issue of contention in many communities, with a broad range of developments resisted on the basis that an existing place-identity would be damaged or destroyed. This paper sets out to explore some of these tensions, and to uncover ways in which urban design and development might contribute to the creation of new identities that do not destroy the existing meanings and experiences of place. Reporting the findings of empirical research undertaken at the highly-awarded ‘Subi Centro’ development in Perth, …


Research Brief: Time Of Day Effect On Performance At A User Interface, Prabir Mukhopadhyay Jan 2008

Research Brief: Time Of Day Effect On Performance At A User Interface, Prabir Mukhopadhyay

RIT Digital Archives

The paper investigates the effect of time of day at an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) interface. Two dependent variables, time taken and error rate were measured. 11 male students participated in the experiment which involved a set task at an ATM simulated on a PC in a controlled environment. Subjects were asked to perform the task at three different times of the day, 9.00am, 1.00 pm and 9.00 pm. The order of the sequence in which the subjects performed the task was randomized by Latin square design to minimize order effect. One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) on transaction time and …


Universal Design: Is It Accessible?, Jane Bringolf Jan 2008

Universal Design: Is It Accessible?, Jane Bringolf

RIT Digital Archives

Designing products and environments to be usable by the majority of people is the underpinning concept of universal design1. In some aspects, however, universal design fails to meet some of its own principles. This has resulted in a lack of understanding of the concept, which in turn, has allowed the terms “accessibility” and “disability” to inhabit the language of universal design. This means universal design is now bounded by concepts of accessibility, regulations and disability rights, rather than the intellectual challenges inherent in designing for the whole of the population bell curve. The universal design movement recognizes that making headway …

Pre-Commencement Discovery And The Odex Litigation: Copyright Versus Confidentiality Or Is It Privacy?, Sze Shun, George Wei Jan 2008

Pre-Commencement Discovery And The Odex Litigation: Copyright Versus Confidentiality Or Is It Privacy?, Sze Shun, George Wei

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

This article examines whether internet service providers are under any duty to disclose the names of subscribers whose accounts can be shown to be associated with infringing activity. This question involves tension between the economic interests of copyright owners/licensees, the privacy interests of internet users and the economic interests of the internet service provider. This tension in turn raises age-old problems of balance and proportionality between privacy, confidentiality and other competing rights and freedoms as well as the interests of society at large. The article concludes by briefly touching on privacy areas from outside of copyright and the Internet: including …
