Using The Taylor Center To Teach Odes, Alexander Gofen
Using The Taylor Center To Teach Odes, Alexander Gofen
CODEE Journal
This article introduces a powerful ODE solver called the Taylor Center for PCs (http://taylorcenter.org/Gofen/) as a tool for teaching and performing numeric experiments with ODEs. The Taylor Center is an All-in-One GUI-style application for integrating ODEs by applying the modern Taylor Method (Automatic Differentiation). The Taylor Center also offers dynamic graphics (including 3D stereo vision). After a brief review of the features of the Taylor Center, we consider instructive examples of ODEs in various applications and also several particular examples illustrating intricacies of numeric integration. The article therefore continues the thesis of Borrelli and Coleman (CODEE Journal, http://www.codee.org/ref/CJ09-0157) that awareness …

Disclosed is a method of synthesizing new optically pure heterocyclic compounds using Pd(0) catalyzed intramolecular cyclizations. Analogs of cyclopentanes, like isoxazoline-2-oxide and furan, with similar framework to the cyclopentanes act as anti-HIV and anticancer agents which opens a whole new field for application of these compounds. Starting from a meso-diol, optically pure compounds were prepared without utilizing chiral ligands at any stage of the synthesis. The stereochemical outcome of the product (>99% ee) was influenced by desymmetrization catalyzed by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase and the stereo selective nature of the palladium catalyzed transformations.
Who’S The Boss? The Supreme Court Hears Argument On The Meaning Of The Term “Supervisor” In Workplace Harassment Law, Joanna L. Grossman
Who’S The Boss? The Supreme Court Hears Argument On The Meaning Of The Term “Supervisor” In Workplace Harassment Law, Joanna L. Grossman
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
What makes someone a supervisor? Employees have practical reasons for knowing the answer to this question, but courts must also know the answer, because it dictates the standard for employer liability for workplace harassment. Yesterday, November 26, 2012, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Vance v. Ball State University, a case raising the question how much power or control an employee must have over other employees before he or she is deemed a “supervisor” in the harassment context. While the issue might seem technical, it takes on substantive importance too, as it implicates the scope and strength of harassment …
Stopover Decisions Of Migratory Shorebirds: An Assessment Of Habitat Use, Food Availability, Behavior And Phenology, Ryan Stutzman
Stopover Decisions Of Migratory Shorebirds: An Assessment Of Habitat Use, Food Availability, Behavior And Phenology, Ryan Stutzman
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Habitat loss and alteration from land use change, species invasion, and more recently, climate change has reduced biodiversity and ecosystem function worldwide. Habitat decisions have important implications to individual fitness as well as population dynamics and community structure. Resource limitation, predation, competition, and unfavorable abiotic conditions all have the potential to influence survival and future reproductive potential. Understanding how changes to ecosystem structure and function impact species and populations of conservation concern is essential for conservation delivery to be effective. Similar to many migratory species, shorebird populations are declining worldwide and declines may be related to the loss of important …
Pump Cavities For Diode Laser Array Pumped Laser Rods, Michael Bass, Ying Chen
Pump Cavities For Diode Laser Array Pumped Laser Rods, Michael Bass, Ying Chen
UCF Patents
This invention derives from the question of how to use commonly available arrays of diode lasers to pump simple rod shaped solid state lasers. In 2001 - 2002 we developed and demonstrated pump cavities that would enable diode arrays to pump rods. The diode arrays are formed by stacking several diode laser bars, each typically 1 cm wide, with appropriate spacers. In my lab at CREOL we showed that pump cavities that had been proposed many years ago could be adapted to this problem. Such pump cavities were designed to deliver flashlamp light from linear flashlamps to laser rods. We …

The Connection Of The Parental Understanding Of Phenylketonuria And Demographic Information To Recommended Treatment Blood Levels Of Phenylalanine Of Children In Their Care, Megan Kathleen Clise
The Connection Of The Parental Understanding Of Phenylketonuria And Demographic Information To Recommended Treatment Blood Levels Of Phenylalanine Of Children In Their Care, Megan Kathleen Clise
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism. In PKU phenylalanine cannot be converted to tyrosine; when phenylalanine levels remain elevated intellectual disabilities, as well as other side effects, can occur. These side effects can be prevented if the phenylalanine levels remain within treatment range. The purpose of this study was to determine if the parents' understanding of PKU and demographics affected the children's phenylalanine level. A questionnaire was developed to asses the parents' understanding and demographics; these were then correlated to the child's average blood phenylalanine levels using Pearson's Correlation. The strongest relationship to the child's blood …
Ideal Adults, Deficient Children: The Discourse On The Child In Western Philosophy, Michael Dean Burroughs
Ideal Adults, Deficient Children: The Discourse On The Child In Western Philosophy, Michael Dean Burroughs
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
The child of Western philosophy is conceptualized in a two-fold manner: first, in the work of philosophers ranging from Plato to Rawls, the child is defined through a negation of the positive traits of the adult. The child is not-rational (as the adult is), not moral (as the adult is), not-citizen (as the adult can be). In short, the child is conceptualized as the non-adult, lacking (or possessing in primitive form) the qualities of the adult. Second, given his deficient classification, the child is regarded as a being-to-be-transformed. The child must be corrected and become the adult prior to his …
The Role Of The Gonads And Incest Avoidance In The Regulation Of Sexual Behavior In Damaraland Mole-Rats, Sara Nicole Carter
The Role Of The Gonads And Incest Avoidance In The Regulation Of Sexual Behavior In Damaraland Mole-Rats, Sara Nicole Carter
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
The Damaraland mole-rat (DMR; Fukoymys damarensis) is one of a small number of mammals that are eusocial. In this mating system, only a single pair reproduce while the other remaining colony members are non-reproductive. Non-breeders exhibit sexual behavior only when paired with unfamiliar opposite-sex individuals. The role of the gonads in the regulation of reproductive behaviors in non-breeders remains unknown; however, inbreeding avoidance has been hypothesized to account, in part, for the lack of reproductive behavior in non-breeding individuals. The mechanism that regulates incest avoidance also remains unknown. The aims of this study were twofold; first, to investigate the role …
Writing To Understand Our Lives And Languages: A Case Study Of An Immigrant Women's Writing Group, Jessica D. Swan
Writing To Understand Our Lives And Languages: A Case Study Of An Immigrant Women's Writing Group, Jessica D. Swan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Writing groups have empirical support for their ability to give voice to stories, improve language skills, and result in personal and social transformations. However, the research into their effectiveness among English Language Learners (ELLs) is limited. This case study of an immigrant women's writing group in Memphis, Tennessee, examined the effects of participation on the language skills, identities, and communities of the women. Ten (10) women who were all non-native English speakers participated in a writing group held over the course of ten (10) weeks for two (2) hours each week. The structure of the writing group allowed for personal …

An Intelligent Network Of Sensors For Border And Perimeter Security, William E. White Iii
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Border and perimeter security is a constant concern to many government and private entities. Large, often remote, areas must be constantly monitored for intruders or suspicious activity. This work investigates whether a wireless sensor network of intelligent nodes can provide the infrastructure needed to such applications. First a real time automated algorithm is developed for an existing profiling sensor. Results show that this automation produces reliable results on a limited dataset. To provide a more versatile, easier to deploy solution, a wireless sensor network is designed for deployment in a sensor field test bed located at Meeman-Shelby Forest. The wireless …
Pidgin In The Classroom: Hawai`I'S English Standard Schools, Americanization, And Hawaiian Identity, 1920-1960, Katherine J E Fox
Pidgin In The Classroom: Hawai`I'S English Standard Schools, Americanization, And Hawaiian Identity, 1920-1960, Katherine J E Fox
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
From 1924 to 1960 some of Hawai`i's public schools were segregated institutions. Unlike the segregated schools of the mainland, the main goal of the English Standard schools, as they were known, was to ensure that English-speaking children be taught in environments free from Pidgin and other native languages spoken by the majority of Hawai`i's school children. Because this segregation was linguistically-based, it was possible for children of all races and ethnicities to attend English Standard schools, but there can be no doubt that they were heavily dominated by white students in the early years of the program, much to the …
Prosody And Kinesics Based Co-Analysis Towards Continuous Gesture Recognition, Pratiksha Subedi
Prosody And Kinesics Based Co-Analysis Towards Continuous Gesture Recognition, Pratiksha Subedi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
The aim of this study is to develop a multimodal co-analysis framework for continuous gesture recognition by exploiting prosodic and kinesics manifestation of natural communication. Using this framework, a co-analysis pattern between correlating components is obtained. The co-analysis pattern is clustered using K-means clustering to determine how well the pattern distinguishes the gestures. Features of the proposed approach that differentiate it from the other models are its less susceptibility to idiosyncrasies, its scalability, and simplicity. The experiment was performed on Multimodal Annotated Gesture Corpus (MAGEC) that we created for research on understanding non-verbal communication community, particularly the gestures.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Detailed geologic mapping of two 7.5-minute quadrangles in Fayette County, Tennesse, and sedimentological analysis of obtained samples of the Eocene Memphis Sand have been performed to assess the locations of Memphis Sand outcrops, whether the facies are stratigraphically continuous in the outcrop region, the depositional characteristics and sediment source of the Memphis Sand, and what can be inferred about direct recharge into the Memphis aquifer. The Memphis Sand is a fluvial sand with mixed a mixed sediment source that can be separated into the upper, middle, and lower informal members. Direct recharge potential for the Memphis aquifer is limited spatially …

Data Acquisition From Cemetery Headstones, Cameron Smith Christiansen
Data Acquisition From Cemetery Headstones, Cameron Smith Christiansen
Theses and Dissertations
Data extraction from engraved text is discussed rarely, and nothing in the open literature discusses data extraction from cemetery headstones. Headstone images present unique challenges such as engraved or embossed characters (causing inner-character shadows), low contrast with the background, and significant noise due to inconsistent stone texture and weathering. Current systems for extracting text from outdoor environments (billboards, signs, etc.) make assumptions (i.e. clean and/or consistently-textured background and text) that fail when applied to the domain of engraved text. Additionally, the ability to extract the data found on headstones is of great historical value. This thesis describes a novel and …
Measurement Of Thermal Diffusivities Using The Distributed Source, Finite Absorption Model, James B. Hall
Measurement Of Thermal Diffusivities Using The Distributed Source, Finite Absorption Model, James B. Hall
Theses and Dissertations
Thermal diffusivity in an important thermophysical property that quantifies the ratio of the rate at which heat is conducted through a material to the amount of energy stored in a material. The pulsed laser diffusion (PLD) method is a widely used technique for measuring thermal diffusivities of materials. This technique is based on the fact that the diffusivity of a sample may be inferred from measurement of the time-dependent temperature profile at a point on the surface of a sample that has been exposed to a pulse of radiant energy from a laser or flash lamp. An accepted standard approach …

Building The New Rome: Charles Cameron As The Architect Of Catherine The Great's New Eternal City, Inna A. Bell
Theses and Dissertations
Catherine the Great, The Empress of Russia, considered herself to be an enlightened ruler. Like many enlightened minds of the eighteenth century, she was fascinated with classical antiquity, especially with ancient Rome. In 1779, she invited a Scottish architect named Charles Cameron to complete a series of building projects for her that would create a "second Rome" in Tsarskoye Selo and in Pavlovsk, Russia. Cameron, an expert on classical antiquity because of his studies of the Roman ruins and the publication of his book, The Baths of the Romans, had a special interest in and a dedication to classical …
Effects Of Imagery Training On Language In Expressive Writing, Therese Verkerke Cash
Effects Of Imagery Training On Language In Expressive Writing, Therese Verkerke Cash
Theses and Dissertations
Research examining language in written and oral trauma narratives indicates that exposure and cognitive processing are important processes responsible for therapeutic change. Bio-informational theory, which defines emotions as the activation of response, stimulus, and meaning units in memory, provides a meaningful structure for evaluating language in traumatic and neutral essays. This study examined the effects of imagery training procedures designed to prime activation of response or stimulus units on word usage. The effect of writing instructions on activation of meaning units was also investigated. Unscreened undergraduates (n=246) were randomly assigned in a 2 writing condition (traumatic or neutral) x 3 …
