Learning A Foreign Language With A Collaborative Web-Based Task, Processes And Performances. Apprendre Une Langue Étrangère À Partir D'Une Tâche Collaborative Sur Internet : Processus Et Performances, Frédérique Penilla
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Within language teaching and learning, tasks have been advocated for use as they are thought to set up ideal conditions for language acquisition to occur. With the emergence of the Internet in the last decade, and the deployment of technology in schools, Web-based tasks, referred to as Computer-assisted Language Learning (CALL) are being used by an increasing number of teachers. Teachers who employ Web-based tasks in their classrooms, commonly set these up so that learners complete them in a collaborative mode. This requires learners engaging in a process of task negotiation and, at times, task redefinition, which in turn requires …

Rank-Based Attachment Leads To Power Law Graphs, Jeannette Janssen, Paweł Prałat
Rank-Based Attachment Leads To Power Law Graphs, Jeannette Janssen, Paweł Prałat
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
We investigate the degree distribution resulting from graph generation models based on rank-based attachment. In rank-based attachment, all vertices are ranked according to a ranking scheme. The link probability of a given vertex is proportional to its rank raised to the power ―α, for some α ∈ (0, 1). Through a rigorous analysis, we show that rank-based attachment models lead to graphs with a power law degree distribution with exponent 1 + 1/α whenever vertices are ranked according to their degree, their age, or a randomly chosen fitness value. We also investigate the case where the ranking is based on …

Topography and land cover characteristics can have significant effects on infiltration, runoff, and erosion processes on watersheds. The ability to model the timing and routing of surface water and erosion is affected by the resolution of the digital elevation model (DEM). High resolution ground-based Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) technology can be used to collect detailed topographic and land cover characteristic data. In this study, a method was developed to remove vegetation from ground-based LiDAR data to create high resolution DEMs. Research was conducted on intensively studied rainfall–runoff plots on the USDA-ARS Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed in Southeast Arizona. LiDAR …

Thresholds And Tolerance Of Physical Pain Among Young Adults Who Self-Injure, Katrina Mccoy, William Fremouw, Daniel W. Mcneil
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Prevalence rates of nonsuicidal self-injury among college students range from 17% to 38%. Research indicates that individuals with borderline personality disorder who self-injure sometimes report an absence of pain during self-injury. Furthermore, self-injury in the absence of pain has been associated with more frequent suicide attempts. The present study examined pain thresholds and tolerance among 44 college students (11 who engaged in self-injury and 33 who did not). Pain thresholds and tolerance were measured using an algometer pressure device that was used to produce pain in previous laboratory research. Participants who engaged in self-injury had a higher pain tolerance than …
Change Detection Accuracy And Image Properties: A Study Using Simulated Data, Abdullah Almutairi, Timothy A. Warner
Change Detection Accuracy And Image Properties: A Study Using Simulated Data, Abdullah Almutairi, Timothy A. Warner
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Simulated data were used to investigate the relationships between image properties and change detection accuracy in a systematic manner. The image properties examined were class separability, radiometric normalization and image spectral band-to-band correlation. The change detection methods evaluated were post-classification comparison, direct classification of multidate imagery, image differencing, principal component analysis, and change vector analysis. The simulated data experiments showed that the relative accuracy of the change detection methods varied with changes in image properties, thus confirming the hypothesis that caution should be used in generalizing from studies that use only a single image pair. In most cases, direct classification …
Spatially Heterogeneous Estimates Of Fire Frequency In Ponderosa Pine Forests Of Washington, Usa, James T. Kernan, Amy E. Hessl
Spatially Heterogeneous Estimates Of Fire Frequency In Ponderosa Pine Forests Of Washington, Usa, James T. Kernan, Amy E. Hessl
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Many fire history studies have evaluated the temporal nature of fire regimes using fire interval statistics calculated from fire scars. More recently, researchers have begun to evaluate the spatial properties of past fires as well. In this paper, we describe a technique for investigating spatio-temporal variability using a geographic information system (GIS). We used a dataset of fire-scarred trees collected from four sites in eastern Washington, USA, ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa C. Lawson) forests. The patterns of past fires recorded by individual trees (points) were converted to two-dimensional representations of fire with inverse distance weighting (IDW) in a GIS. …

Developing The Techniques For Raman, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (Sers), And Fluorescence Spectroscopies Of Organic Molecules In Isolation, Jonathan Wolfe
Honors Theses
The nature of matter and light has been a subject of philosophical debate since antiquity. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, much of the scientific community believed that most of the significant principles that govern the natural world had been discovered. Classical physics was able to explain complex phenomena such as planetary motions, elasticity, and hydrodynamics. The field of thermodynamics had been developed nearly to completion by James Joule, Sadi Carnot, Josiah Gibbs, et al. The magnetic and electronic nature of light had been demonstrated by James Clerk Maxwell's famous equations. In the neighboring field of chemistry, a …
Revenue Diversification In Health And Human Services Nonprofits., Hannah Sayle Flint
Revenue Diversification In Health And Human Services Nonprofits., Hannah Sayle Flint
Honors Theses
The nonprofit sector is increasingly growing and becoming more important to the United States society and economy. Concurrent with this growth, nonprofits have assumed a larger role in mitigating societal issues and are increasingly being relied upon to provide services that have traditionally been supplied by the government or in some cases not addressed at all. The recent economic recession has highlighted just how vulnerable many of these nonprofit organizations are to fluctuations in the economic cycle. The negative impact the current economic recession has had on the nonprofit sector suggests that the traditional nonprofit revenue model must be reevaluated. …

Effects Of Estrogen On Recovery Of Spatial Function After Cerebellar Lesion, Gerald William Stinson Jr.
Effects Of Estrogen On Recovery Of Spatial Function After Cerebellar Lesion, Gerald William Stinson Jr.
Honors Theses
The traditional view of cerebellar processing has been that it plays a role in motor planning and function, now the cerebellum is also believed to be involved in spatial learning and cognition. Like the cerebellum’s involvement in cognition the role of estrogen in cerebellar functioning has only recently been investigated. The cerebellum normally has low levels of estrogen but aromatase activity is upregulated after brain injury, increasing estrogen levels. This upregulation after injury suggests that estrogen could be involved in neuroprotection. This study uses male zebra finches to investigate the role of the cerebellum in spatial function and the possible …
Statistical Analysis Of Precipitation And Inundation Effects On Trees In Different Flooding Regimes., Lucy Katherine Weber
Statistical Analysis Of Precipitation And Inundation Effects On Trees In Different Flooding Regimes., Lucy Katherine Weber
Honors Theses
Although wetland trees show a relationship between growth and precipitation that can be used to reconstruct past climates they also show a relationship between growth and inundation which may be less helpful to climate modelers. Although inundation is directly related to precipitation in open stream channels, this may not be the case in impounded streams or in lake-side swamps or off-channel wetlands. In order to distinguish precipitation and inundation effects on growth, the effects of fluctuations in precipitation and inundation on bald cypress located at different elevations along lake side swamp were examined. Upland trees were more influenced by variation …
