“Did You Call Me?” 5-Month-Old Infants Own Name Guides Their Attention, Eugenio Parise, Angela D. Friederici, Tricia Striano

Publications and Research

An infant's own name is a unique social cue. Infants are sensitive to their own name by 4 months of age, but whether they use their names as a social cue is unknown. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was measured as infants heard their own name or stranger's names and while looking at novel objects. Event related brain potentials (ERPs) in response to names revealed that infants differentiate their own name from stranger names from the first phoneme. The amplitude of the ERPs to objects indicated that infants attended more to objects after hearing their own names compared to another name. Thus, by …

Innovating Continuous Review Policies With Rfid, Angela Garza

Department of Industrial and Management Systems Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Inventory accuracy is critical for NASA astronauts in space. In 2004, astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) nearly had to de-man their outpost due to the fact the replenishment of consumables were uncertain. Automated Identification Technologies (AITs) such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) can be utilized to minimize the occurrence of situations like this one. RFID has been used to aid inventory management systems by providing real time availability of the item information including location and status. The benefit of RFID over barcodes is immense as it allows users to employ continuous review models. Barcodes are only capable of …

Examining The Complex Nature Of Emotion, Metacognition, And Study-Time In Multimedia Learning, Amber Dawn Chauncey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Learning with multimedia is challenging and often requires learners to regulate cognitive, metacognitive, and affective processes in order achieve optimal learning. The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of induced emotional states on learners’ metacognitive monitoring and control, and learning performance in a self-paced multimedia learning environment. A within-subjects design and a false-biofeedback paradigm were used to induce various emotional states in 50 undergraduate participants while they answered both text-based and inference questions about the human circulatory system. Across 24 trials, participants were presented with accelerated, baseline, and no heart rates (control) and were asked to …

A phenonmenological study was designed to gather information on the following related questions:a)How does teaching style affect the perceptions that students have towards their English class?b)Do students see any real world value or application …

The Voices Of Four Principals: An Exploration Of The Four Dimensions Of Leadership As Used By Middle School Leaders In Transforming Low Performing Schools Into Schools That Meet And/Or Exceed Local, State, And National Standards, Tanisha Lashan Hunter-Heaston

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

For more than 50 years, education professionals have pondered over the phenomenon of failing schools. Despite years of educational reform efforts, America remains a Nation at Risk (1983). Towards the turn of the 21st century, America was well into it's third attempt to remedy one of its' major maladies, scholastic insufficiency. In the midst of schools failing to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), decreasing graduation rates, and increasing teacher turn-over rates, stands the school leader. No Child Left Behind (NCLB)mandates, Race to the Top dollars, and other numerous policies attempt to provide incentives for regions and leaders who change failing …

An Exploratory Study Into The Impact Of Work Design On The Self-Efficacy Of Workers With Low Literacy Skills, Michael Kenneth Holt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

As trends in the labor market indicate growing worker shortages, the problem of incorporating workers with low literacy skills into the workplace becomes more important. There are significant numbers of low literate workers in the labor market who pose hard dollar costs on business and society due to literacy related mistakes.Organizations have been moving toward more participative work designs in efforts to attract and maintain satisfied and motivated workforces. There are significant skill sets required to become successful team members. Many of these skills are outlined in management literature, but one glaring oversight is dealing with the issue of low …

Random Automata Networks: Why Playing Dice Is Not A Vice, Christof Teuscher

Systems Science Friday Noon Seminar Series

Random automata networks consist of a set of simple compute nodes interacting with each other. In this generic model, one or multiple model parameters, such as the the node interactions and/or the compute functions, are chosen at random. Random Boolean Networks (RBNs) are a particular case of discrete dynamical automata networks where both time and states are discrete. While traditional RBNs are generally credited to Stuart Kauffman (1969), who introduced them as simplified models of gene regulation, Alan Turing proposed unorganized machines as early as 1948. In this talk I will start with Alan Turing's early work on unorganized machines, …

As An Educator And Educational Researcher, How Do I Improve What I Am Doing And Contribute To Educational Theories That Carry Hope For The Future Of Humanity?, Jack Whitehead

i.e.: inquiry in education

What I want to share in this contribution to education inquiry are some insights from my educational research programme between 1973-2010 about the kind of educational theories that can explain the educational influence of an individual in their own learning, in the learning of others and in the learning of the social formations in which we live and work. These insights are focused on: i) The desire of educators to account to themselves and others for living as fully as possible the ontological values they use to give meaning and purpose to their lives in their vocation of education. ii) …

A Microfluidic Device To Establish Concentration Gradients Using Reagent Density Differences, Qingjun Kong, Richard A. Able, Jr., Veronica Dudu, Maribel Vazquez

Publications and Research

Microfabrication has become widely utilized to generate controlled microenvironments that establish chemical concentration gradients for a variety of engineering and life science applications. To establish microfluidic flow, the majority of existing devices rely upon additional facilities, equipment, and excessive reagent supplies, which together limit device portability as well as constrain device usage to individuals trained in technological disciplines. The current work presents our laboratory-developed bridged microLane system, which is a stand-alone device that runs via conventional pipette loading and can operate for several days without need of external machinery or additional reagent volumes. The bridged microLane is a two-layer polydimethylsiloxane …

Research, Development And Application Of A Learning Resource For Enhancing Listening And Spoken Skills In Spanish, Elena Paz Vizcaya

Conference papers

Native speech is directed towards native listeners, not designed for comprehension and analysis by language learners. Speed of delivery - or economy of effort - produce a speech signal to which the native listener can assign the correct words — there are no discrete words in the speech signal itself. Experience of using timescaling with recorded English has highlighted the benefit of making slowED speech available to the language learner or researcher, as opposed to slow speech – i.e delivered slowly. The main contribution to knowledge of this project is to generate a unique research and analysis corpus (audio resource) …
