Targeted Genomic Signature Profiling With Quasi-Alignment Statistics, Rao Mallik Kotamarti, Douglas W. Raiford, Michael Hahsler, Yuhang Wang, Monnie Mcgee, Maggie Dunham

COBRA Preprint Series

Genome databases continue to expand with no change in the basic format of sequence data. The prevalent use of the Classic alignment based search tools like BLAST have significantly pushed the limits of Genome Isolate research. The relatively new frontier of Metagenomic research deals with thousands of diverse genomes with newer demands beyond the current homologue search and analysis. Compressing sequence data into a complex form could facilitate a broader range of sequence analyses. To this end, this research explores reorganizing sequence data as complex Markov signatures also known as Extensible Markov Models. Markov models have found successful application in …

Nmr Multiple Quantum Coherences In Quasi-One-Dimensional Spin Systems: Comparison With Ideal Spin-Chain Dynamics, Wenxian Zhang, Paola Cappellaro, Natania Antler, Brian Pepper, David G. Cory, Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski, Chandrasekhar Ramanathan, Lorenza Viola Nov 2009

Nmr Multiple Quantum Coherences In Quasi-One-Dimensional Spin Systems: Comparison With Ideal Spin-Chain Dynamics, Wenxian Zhang, Paola Cappellaro, Natania Antler, Brian Pepper, David G. Cory, Viatcheslav V. Dobrovitski, Chandrasekhar Ramanathan, Lorenza Viola

Dartmouth Scholarship

The 19F spins in a crystal of fluorapatite have often been used to experimentally approximate a one-dimensional spin system. Under suitable multipulse control, the nuclear-spin dynamics may be modeled to first approximation by a double-quantum one-dimensional Hamiltonian, which is analytically solvable for nearest-neighbor couplings. Here, we use solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to investigate the multiple quantum coherence dynamics of fluorapatite, with an emphasis on understanding the region of validity for such a simplified picture. Using experimental, numerical, and analytical methods, we explore the effects of long-range intrachain couplings, cross-chain couplings, as well as couplings to a spin environment, …


High Efficiency Air Conditioner Condenser Fan With Performance Enhancements., Danny Parker, Bart Hibbs, John Sherwin Nov 2009

High Efficiency Air Conditioner Condenser Fan With Performance Enhancements., Danny Parker, Bart Hibbs, John Sherwin

UCF Patents

Twisted blades for outdoor air conditioner condensers and heat pumps that improve airflow efficiency to minimize operating power requirements. The blades can run at approximately 850 rpm to produce approximately 1930 cfm of air flow using approximately 110 Watts of power from an 8-pole motor with an improved diffuser assembly. Using an OEM 6-pole 1/8 hp motor produced approximately 2610 cfm with approximately 145 Watts of power while running the blades at approximately 1100 rpm. Power savings were approximately 24% (40 to 50 Watts) over the conventional configuration with increased air flow. Embodiments of two, three, four and five blades …

A Comparison Study Between Instructional And Transformational Leadership Theories: Effects On Student Achievement And Teacher Job Satisfaction, Ryan Hamilton Shatzer Nov 2009

A Comparison Study Between Instructional And Transformational Leadership Theories: Effects On Student Achievement And Teacher Job Satisfaction, Ryan Hamilton Shatzer

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined the impact that school leaders have on teacher job satisfaction and student achievement. The threefold purpose of this study was to (1) compare transformational and instructional leadership theories, (2) examine the unique impact that school leaders have on student achievement and teacher job satisfaction after controlling for school context and principal demographics, and (3) find which specific leadership practices are associated with increased student achievement and teacher job satisfaction. Participants were 558 teachers from 37 elementary schools in the Intermountain West. Teachers completed the Teachers' Job Satisfaction Scale (TJSS), and were randomly assigned to complete the Multifactor …

GIS Day

Background: Recent interdisciplinary studies in public health, transportation, and urban planning have shown that stores and other destinations such as banks, post offices, and physical activity facilities within close proximity to residences are positively related to recreational and transportation physical activity. The built environment has been measured several different ways, including conducting field audits and by surveying individuals’ perceptions of their neighborhood. Increasingly researchers are also using geographic information systems (GIS) software and commercially available data sources to create objective measures of the built environment. The advantages of commercial data are that they are relatively easy to access and are …

New Students In The Anchorage School District: Where Are They From?, Marie E. Lowe, Patricia Deroche, Suzanne Sharp, Meghan Wilson

ISER Reports

In September 2008, the superintendent of the Anchorage School District and the mayor of Anchorage sent a letter to the governor of Alaska, reporting what they thought might be an influx of students into Anchorage from rural communities. Enrollment in the school district was higher than expected, and it coincided with the largest-ever Alaska Permanent Fund dividend and with a one-time payment of $1,200 the state made per person, to help offset high energy costs. Researchers at the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at UAA have a longstanding interest in migration patterns in Alaska and the Arctic, and …
