Extending The Conversation: Raising Issues Of Rurality In English Teacher Education, Lisa Eckert, Robert Petrone

Faculty Works

Situated within the challenges faced by English teacher educators in the frontier state of Montana, this article argues for the need for increased attention to issues of rurality within the field of English Education. Conceptualizing rural education as an issue of social justice, the article suggests several approaches English teacher educators and researchers might take in thinking about rural English education, including integrating readings related to rurality in English Education coursework, researching the unique challenges of teacher identity formation within rural contexts, and emphasizing research focused on rural youth literacy practices.

Ih Tunes Theta/Gamma Oscillations And Cross-Frequency Coupling In An In Silico Ca3 Model, Samuel A. Neymotin, Markus M. Hilscher, Thiago C. Moulin, Yosef Skolnick, Maciej T. Lazarewicz, William W. Lytton

Publications and Research

channels are uniquely positioned to act as neuromodulatory control points for tuning hippocampal theta (4–12 Hz) and gamma (25 Hz) oscillations, oscillations which are thought to have importance for organization of information flow. contributes to neuronal membrane resonance and resting membrane potential, and is modulated by second messengers. We investigated oscillatory control using a multiscale computer model of hippocampal CA3, where each cell class (pyramidal, basket, and oriens-lacunosum moleculare cells), contained type-appropriate isoforms of . Our model demonstrated that modulation of pyramidal and basket allows tuning theta and gamma oscillation frequency and amplitude. Pyramidal also controlled cross-frequency coupling (CFC) and …

Nonlinear Acoustic Echo Cancellation Using Feedback, Pratik Shah, Ian Lewis, Steven Grant, Sylvain Angrignon

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) is a well-studied problem. One of the main assumptions in existing AEC techniques is that the echo path is linear. In today's equipment, this assumption does always hold. The increasing focus on the look and feel of commercial devices and consequently the decreasing size of their loudspeakers are the major contributors to making the echo path nonlinear. This emphasizes the need for a nonlinear echo canceler to maintain the required echo return loss enhancement (ERLE). Many algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem, but they are prohibitive because of their high computational complexity. This paper …

Analysis Of Closed-Loop Acoustic Feedback Cancellation Systems, Meng Guo, Soren Holdt Jensen, Jesper Jensen, Steven L. Grant

Engineering Management and Systems Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In a previous study, the performance of an acoustic feedback/echo cancellation system was analyzed using a power transfer function method. Whereas the analysis result provides very accurate performance predictions in open-loop acoustic echo cancellation systems, it is less accurate in closed-loop acoustic feedback cancellation systems if there is a strong correlation between the loudspeaker signal and the signals entering the microphones. This work extends the performance analysis to include the effects of the nonzero correlation on the adaptive filters. Simulation results verify that this extension provides much more accurate performance predictions in closed-loop acoustic feedback cancellation systems. © 2013 IEEE.

A Topics Analysis Model For Health Insurance Claims, Jared Anthony Webb

Theses and Dissertations

Mathematical probability has a rich theory and powerful applications. Of particular note is the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for sampling from high dimensional distributions that may not admit a naive analysis. We develop the theory of the MCMC method from first principles and prove its relevance. We also define a Bayesian hierarchical model for generating data. By understanding how data are generated we may infer hidden structure about these models. We use a specific MCMC method called a Gibbs' sampler to discover topic distributions in a hierarchical Bayesian model called Topics Over Time. We propose an innovative use …

The Influence Of Technology On Family Dynamics, Alessondra Villegas

Proceedings of the New York State Communication Association

A powerful tool, that contemporary society uses not only to entertain but also to communicate and educate, there is an ever-present availability to media access. However, there is an ongoing debate over whether or not the power of this influence and its ubiquitous availability yields positive or negative consequences in different aspects of our lives. One area of concern, in particular, is the dynamics of the American family. With the rapid progression of technological advances it is difficult to observe the influence that these devices are having on the ways in which a family interacts. There is research to support …

"Nobody Wants To Eat Them Alive:” Ethical Dilemmas And Dual Media Narratives On Domestic Rabbits As Pets And Commodity, Gayane F. Torosyan, Brian Lowe

Proceedings of the New York State Communication Association

Using semiotic analysis, this study explores changes occurring in the societal perception of rabbits as farm animals as juxtaposed to their increasing popularity as domestic companions. This study is based on a preliminary hypothesis that rabbits are increasingly perceived and portrayed in media as domestic companion animals similar to cats and guinea pigs, which challenges a parallel narrative that views rabbits as commodities for their meat and fur. Operating within a theoretical framework that considers news media as both socially constructed reality and recorded history, the study examines the dynamics of change in numbers of coded news narratives drawn as …

Beyond Critical Communication: Noor's Soap Opera, Noura Hajjaj

Proceedings of the New York State Communication Association

Noor has occupied the minds and the hearts of the Arab audiences. This Turkish soap opera has reached levels beyond ordinary success of a soap opera and gained wide ranges of popularity. The aim of this research is to examine traditional and modern roles that the main characters play within the episodes of Noor. Paying special attention to the roles of female actors within the episodes, the critique will also scrutinize how Noor presents the Western definitions of acceptable roles for women. It is hoped that the results will help to illustrate a wide-ranging dialogue about women and feminism in …

Connecting Analysis And Performance: A Case Study For Developing An Effective Approach, Annie Yih

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

Although theorists and performers both engage in score study, we often say that performers “interpret” and theorists “analyze” because, in general, performers are more interested in interpreting the meaning of the music, which usually involves extracting and projecting the mood, character, or drama in the music, whereas theorists focus on understanding the structure of the music. Recognizing that there is need for connecting the practices of analysis and performance, the author suggests developing an effective approach to this concern. It is proposed that both theorists and performers understand structure as process, and that this particular process expresses the unfolding …

Russian Pitch-Class Set Analysis And The Music Of Webern, Philip A. Ewell

Gamut: Online Journal of the Music Theory Society of the Mid-Atlantic

Prompted by a live performance of Webern’s Op. 6 in Moscow, in 1965, brother and sister Yuri Kholopov and Valentina Kholopova began to analyze the music of Webern; from 1965 to 1970 they wrote two books thereon. Working from scores and a few writings by Europeans (i.e., Stockhausen, Pousseur, Metzger, Kolneder, and Karkoschka), Valentina Kholopova devised a system of pc set analysis, which Yuri later named “hemitonicism.” She first presented her findings to the Soviet “Union of Composers” in the early 1970s, and then published a follow-up article in 1973. In the present essay, the author explicates this important development …
