Interactive Effects Of Water Flow And Light Levels With Decreasing Ph On The Growth And Survival Of Tropical Cnidarians, Carolyn L. Margolin
Interactive Effects Of Water Flow And Light Levels With Decreasing Ph On The Growth And Survival Of Tropical Cnidarians, Carolyn L. Margolin
Open Access Dissertations
The changes in global climate, including the observed and predicted changes to ocean chemistry are expected to have significant impacts on the future of coral reefs. A series of laboratory experiments examined the interactive effects of water flow rate, light levels, and decreased pH on the growth of several species of reef cnidarians. Under current water chemistry conditions (pH 8.04), the massive coral species, Montastraea faveolata shows high growth under flow conditions less than 15.7 cm/s. At this flow rate, decreased pH (pH 7.88) had no significant impact on the growth of this species. Under both water chemistry conditions, colonies …

Role And Effectiveness Of Community Health Workers Among Underserved Us Populations, Hibo H. Noor
Master of Public Health Program Student Publications
The role of the Community Health Workers (CHWs) in the health care system has great value both domestically and internationally. CHWs have training in healthcare; they are members of the community in which they serve. They have in depth understanding of the barriers to health care the community faces; they can speak the same language, and can promote and improve health status, quality of care and assist managing chronic disease. This paper focuses on the role and documented effectiveness of CHWs in terms of quality, health care services, cost health services, as well as health behaviors and knowledge about the …
Seasonal Dimorphism In The Horny Bills Of Sparrows, Russell Greenberg, Matthew Etterson, Raymond M. Danner
Seasonal Dimorphism In The Horny Bills Of Sparrows, Russell Greenberg, Matthew Etterson, Raymond M. Danner
United States Environmental Protection Agency: Publications
Bill size is often viewed as a species-specific adaptation for feeding, but it sometimes varies between sexes, suggesting that sexual selection or intersexual competition may also be important. Hypotheses to explain sexual dimorphism in avian bill size include divergence in feeding niche or thermoregulatory demands, intrasexual selection based on increased competition among males, or female preference. Birds also show seasonal changes in bill size due to shifts in the balance between growth rate and wear, which may be due to diet or endogenous rhythms in growth. Insight into the function of dimorphism can be gained using the novel approach of …

Effects Of Crossflow Velocity And Transmembrane Pressure On Microfiltration Of Oil-In-Water Emulsions, Nikolai V. Priezjev, Tohid Darvishzadeh
Effects Of Crossflow Velocity And Transmembrane Pressure On Microfiltration Of Oil-In-Water Emulsions, Nikolai V. Priezjev, Tohid Darvishzadeh
Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications
This study addresses the issue of oil removal from water using hydrophilic porous membranes. The effective separation of oil-in-water dispersions involves high flux of water through the membrane and, at the same time, high rejection rate of the oil phase. The effects of transmembrane pressure and crossflow velocity on rejection of oil droplets and thin oil films by pores of different cross-section are investigated numerically by solving the Navier-Stokes equation. We found that in the absence of crossflow, the critical transmembrane pressure, which is required for the oil droplet entry into a circular pore of a given surface hydrophilicity, agrees …
Estimating The Risk Of Changes In Stock Prices By Field Division, Grzegorz Przekota
Estimating The Risk Of Changes In Stock Prices By Field Division, Grzegorz Przekota
European Management Studies
This work concerns the problem of risk measurement in share prices. The classic measures are the most popular: variance, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Among the most popular non-classical measure is the fractal dimension, including the Hurst exponent. The paper proposes an alternative method of calculating the fractal dimension of time series. It determines how strongly the time series fulfills its space and is used inter alia for the characterization of stock market data series due to the degree of “fraying”. Fractal dimension was calculated for time series trading stock indices WIG and WIG20 in 2008-2011. The results can …

Hybrid Solvers For The Boolean Satisfiability Problem: An Exploration, Nicole Nelson
Hybrid Solvers For The Boolean Satisfiability Problem: An Exploration, Nicole Nelson
Theses and Dissertations
The Boolean Satisfiability problem (SAT) is one of the most extensively researched NP-complete problems in Computer Science. This thesis focuses on the design of feasible solvers for this problem. A SAT problem instance is a formula in propositional logic. A SAT solver attempts to find a solution for the formula. Our research focuses on a newer solver paradigm, hybrid solvers, where two solvers are combined in order to gain the benefits from both solvers in the search for a solution. Our hybrid solver, AmbSAT, combines two well-known solvers: the systematic Davis-Putnam-Logemann-Loveland solver (DPLL) and the stochastic WalkSAT solver. AmbSAT's design …

Aims. We present 11 high-precision photometric transitobservations of the transiting super-Earth planet GJ≠1214≠b. Combining these data with observations from other authors, we investigate the ephemeris for possible signs of transit timing variations (TTVs) using a Bayesian approach. Methods. The observations were obtained using telescope-defocusing techniques, and achieve a high precision with random errors in the photometry as low as 1 mmag per point. To investigate the possibility of TTVs in the light curve, we calculate the overall probability of a TTV signal using Bayesian methods. Results. The observations are used to determine the photometric parameters and the physical …

Alternative Aefie-Efie Method For Broadband Cem Modeling, Jia Liu, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
Alternative Aefie-Efie Method For Broadband Cem Modeling, Jia Liu, Li (Lijun) Jun Jiang
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
It is well known that the electric field integral equation (EFIE) has the low frequency breakdown problem while the Augmented electric field integral equation (AEFIE) method has the high frequency breakdown issue. To obtain a unified method that works for both low and high frequencies without manual switching of methods, a novel and simple method is proposed in this paper. It uses AEFIE and EFIE to compensate each other iteratively in all frequency regimes to guarantee the accuracy of the solution. As a result, it effectively extends AEFIE to the high frequency regime and extends EFIE to the low frequency …
Analytical Representations For Frequency Dependences Of Microwave Permeability, Konstantin N. Rozanov, Marina Koledintseva
Analytical Representations For Frequency Dependences Of Microwave Permeability, Konstantin N. Rozanov, Marina Koledintseva
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Electromagnetic materials applied to solve various EMC and EMI problems require adequate analytical description of their RF and microwave material parameters. This is necessary for numerical optimization of wideband electromagnetic performance of devices incorporating these materials. The paper discusses the shape of frequency dependences of microwave permeability in homogeneous materials and composites. The Lorentzian frequency dispersion law is shown to allow for rather accurate description of all types of magnetic loss peaks, including those related to the ferromagnetic resonance and the effect of eddy currents. To model wideband electromagnetic performance of composites, mixing laws are typically used. The problem is …
Speed-Up Of Peec Em/Ckt Solver Using Rank-Reduced Waveform Relaxation, Giulio Antonini, Albert E. Ruehli
Speed-Up Of Peec Em/Ckt Solver Using Rank-Reduced Waveform Relaxation, Giulio Antonini, Albert E. Ruehli
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The solution of EM/Circuit problems is important for the EMC/SI/PI system designs. an essential issue today is the solution of larger problems without excessive memory and compute time requirements. in this paper, we show the potential for a new speed-up approach using the PEEC method. One source of the speed-up is due to the use of the waveform relaxation (WR) technique, which is very suitable for parallel processing. Importantly, the dense part of the partial inductance and potential matrices are sparsified by taking advantage of the rank deficiency of the dense parts of the MNA matrix. We show that both …
Investigation Of Low-Stress Silicon Nitride As A Replacement Material For Beryllium X-Ray Windows, David B. Brough
Investigation Of Low-Stress Silicon Nitride As A Replacement Material For Beryllium X-Ray Windows, David B. Brough
Theses and Dissertations
The material properties of low stress silicon nitride make it a possible replacement material for beryllium in X-ray windows. In this study, X-ray windows made of LPCVD deposited low stress silicon nitride are fabricated and characterized. The Young's modulus of the LPCVD low stress silicon nitride are characterized and found to be 226±23 GPa. The residual stress is characterized using two different methods and is found to be 127±25 MPa and 141±0.28 MPa. Two support structure geometries for the low stress silicon nitride X-ray windows are used. X-ray windows with thicknesses of 100 nm and 200 nm are suspended on …

In Search Of Real Fathers: Plenzdorf's Die Neuen Leiden Des Jungen W. And Vater, Mutter, Mörderkind, Michelle Schwoebel
Theses and Dissertations
Plenzdorf's works, one written before the fall of socialism in the German Democratic Republic (hereafter referred to as the DDR), and one after, portray relationships between fathers and sons, which act as a metaphor to express a personal perspective of the state, revealing that the DDR was neither as repressive or as omnipresent for the average citizen as outsiders are often given to believe. The father, or Übervater, a figure deeply rooted in the German consciousness, is represented by the state and proves itself as an entity which gives the protagonists in both works little notice, despite their best efforts …

In this article we discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by the open editorial processes used at In the Library with the Lead Pipe and Code4Lib Journal. To end, we discuss the need to grow open review and editorial processes in library and information science publications.
Building Group Resilience: A Three-Day Curriculum, Andrew Willis Garcés
Building Group Resilience: A Three-Day Curriculum, Andrew Willis Garcés
Educational Specialist, 2009-2019
Social change organizations are often exposed to stress and disruptive, potentially traumatic events. Despite this, few such groups invest time into actively cultivating resilience practices. Likewise, most existing resilience promotion initiatives are designed for use with individuals, not organizations, and lack the experience-based pedagogical approach necessary to interest many social change activists. This curriculum intervention provides a needed bridge between social change activism and resilience promotion theory. Designed as a three-day workshop, it can be used with entire organizations to support both self-awareness of their existing strengths and the development of new protective measures to boost collective resilience.
Social Situations And Alcohol: The Effect Of Social Context On Alcohol Expectancies, Idan Ariel
Social Situations And Alcohol: The Effect Of Social Context On Alcohol Expectancies, Idan Ariel
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Alcohol is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the United States today, despite being associated with a myriad of negative effects. Alcohol consumption occurs most frequently within social contexts, and seems to be strongly related to many social factors. It is known that an individual's expectations of the effects of alcohol influences his/her drinking behavior, and that social alcohol expectancies are some of the most frequently reported expectancies. In this study, we explored the relationship between alcohol expectancies and social influences by examining whether exposure to a social context would differentially activate alcohol expectancies. 115 young-adult male …
