The Relationship Between Metacognition, Entrepreneurial Orientation, And Firm Performance: An Empirical Investigation, Young Sik Cho, Joo Y. Jung Jan 2014

The Relationship Between Metacognition, Entrepreneurial Orientation, And Firm Performance: An Empirical Investigation, Young Sik Cho, Joo Y. Jung

Management Faculty Publications

This study aims to examine the relationship between an entrepreneur’s metacognition, entrepreneurial orientation (EO), and firm performance. We collected primary data from 190 entrepreneurs (business owners or founders) working in the U.S. through a survey. By performing both the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the structural equation modeling (SEM), we tested our hypothesized research model that represented the metacognition-EO-firm performance relationship. The results from the statistical analysis demonstrate that an entrepreneur's metacognition has a significant positive impact on EO. Furthermore, the study result shows that EO has a full mediating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial metacognition and firm performance. …

Let-7 Microrna-Binding-Site Polymorphism In The 3′Utr Of Kras And Colorectal Cancer Outcome: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Scott M. Langevin, Brock C. Christensen Jan 2014

Let-7 Microrna-Binding-Site Polymorphism In The 3′Utr Of Kras And Colorectal Cancer Outcome: A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis, Scott M. Langevin, Brock C. Christensen

Dartmouth Scholarship

There is a small but growing body of literature regarding the predictive utility of a Let-7 microRNA-binding-site polymorphism in the 30 -untranslated region (UTR) of KRAS (KRAS-LCS6) for colorectal cancer outcome, although the results are conflicting. We performed a review and meta-analysis in an attempt to better clarify this relationship. A PubMed search was conducted to identify all studies reporting on KRAS let-7 microRNA-binding site polymorphism (LCS6; rs61764370) and colorectal cancer outcome. Hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were extracted or estimated from each manuscript. Log HRs and log CIs were combined across studies using the inverse-variance …

Stacked Modulation In A Hall Reverberation Algorithm, Kelsey M. Cintorino, Daniel M. Wisniewski, Benjamin D. Mcpheron Jan 2014

Stacked Modulation In A Hall Reverberation Algorithm, Kelsey M. Cintorino, Daniel M. Wisniewski, Benjamin D. Mcpheron

Engineering, Computing & Construction Management Faculty Publications

Reverberation is the reflection of sound caused by objects in space, similar to the way the visual world is sensed by the reflection of light. Novel reverberation algorithms are in high demand within the music industry due to changing trends and desire for unique sounds. As DSP hardware has improved, it is easier to implement multiple effects into the same algorithm. This paper presents a hall algorithm augmented with a series of chorus modulation blocks in an attempt to create new sounds. The approach is to add chorus blocks before the early decay phase of the hall algorithm, as well …

Design Of A Heat Pump Assisted Solar Thermal System, Kyle G. Krockenberger, John M. Degrove, William J. Hutzel, J. Christopher Foreman Jan 2014

Design Of A Heat Pump Assisted Solar Thermal System, Kyle G. Krockenberger, John M. Degrove, William J. Hutzel, J. Christopher Foreman

International High Performance Buildings Conference

This paper outlines the design of an active solar thermal loop system that will be integrated with an air source heat pump hot water heater to provide highly efficient heating of a water/propylene glycol mixture. This system design uses solar energy when available, but reverts to the heat pump at night or during cloudy weather. This new design will be used for hydronic heating in the Applied Energy Laboratory, a teaching laboratory at Purdue University, but it is more generally applicable for a residential scale system that could be used for both hydronic heating and hot water production. This combined …

Energy Modeling Of A Botanical Air Filter, Daniel W. Newkirk, William J. Hutzel, Michael Dana, Ming Qu Jan 2014

Energy Modeling Of A Botanical Air Filter, Daniel W. Newkirk, William J. Hutzel, Michael Dana, Ming Qu

International High Performance Buildings Conference

According to the U.S. EPA Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors where indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Toxins in the built environment have been found to cause adverse physical and mental health effects on occupants and are estimated to cost the U.S. 125 billion dollar annually in lost productivity. To address this challenge a novel botanical air filter was developed for improving indoor air quality in buildings. The “Biowall” is envisioned as an integral part of the heating and cooling system for a home or small commercial building; where it will …

Microgrids For Improving Manufacturing Energy Efficiency, Terance J. Harper, William J. Hutzel, Athula Kulatunga, J. Christopher Foreman, Aaron L. Adams Jan 2014

Microgrids For Improving Manufacturing Energy Efficiency, Terance J. Harper, William J. Hutzel, Athula Kulatunga, J. Christopher Foreman, Aaron L. Adams

International High Performance Buildings Conference

Thirty-one percent of annual energy consumption in the United States occurs within the industrial sector, where manufacturing processes account for the largest amount of energy consumption and carbon emissions. For this reason, energy efficiency in manufacturing facilities is increasingly important for reducing operating costs and improving profits. Using microgrids to generate local sustainable power should reduce energy consumption from the main utility grid along with energy costs and carbon emissions. Also, microgrids have the potential to serve as reliable energy generators in international locations where the utility grid is often unstable. For this research, a smart microgrid system was designed …

Although The “Get-Tough” Approach Is Popular Among The American Public And Policymakers Alike, Incarceration Does Not Reduce Crime, Marika Dawkins-Cavazos Jan 2014

Although The “Get-Tough” Approach Is Popular Among The American Public And Policymakers Alike, Incarceration Does Not Reduce Crime, Marika Dawkins-Cavazos

Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

The prevalence of crime has been of great concern to policymakers for decades, with many factors being blamed and many solutions suggested. Since the 1970s’ punitive incarceration policies have found favor, and are now being replicated for juvenile offenders as well. Using state-level data on crime and juvenile residential placement (which have now become very similar in their operations to those of adult facilities), Marika Dawkins finds that such placements do not lead to a reduction in juvenile offending or crime. She argues that, in this light, community-based sanctions as well as greater support for families should take precedence over …

Bipolar Nanosecond Electric Pulses Are Less Efficient At Electropermeabilization And Killing Cells Than Monopolar Pulses, Bennett L. Ibey, Olga N. Pakhomova, Caleb C. Roth, Shu Xiao, Karl Schoenbach, Andrei G. Pakhomov Jan 2014

Bipolar Nanosecond Electric Pulses Are Less Efficient At Electropermeabilization And Killing Cells Than Monopolar Pulses, Bennett L. Ibey, Olga N. Pakhomova, Caleb C. Roth, Shu Xiao, Karl Schoenbach, Andrei G. Pakhomov

Bioelectrics Publications

Multiple studies have shown that bipolar (BP) electric pulses in the microsecond range are more effective at permeabilizing cells while maintaining similar cell survival rates as compared to monopolar (MP) pulse equivalents. In this paper, we investigated whether the same advantage existed for BP nanosecond-pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) as compared to MP nsPEF. To study permeabilization effectiveness, MP or BP pulses were delivered to single Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and the response of three dyes, Calcium Green-1, propidium iodide (PI), and FM1-43, was measured by confocal microscopy. Results show that BP pulses were less effective at increasing intracellular calcium …

Old Earth Theology: A Factor That Explains Inconsistent Belief Of Inerrancy Among Florida Southern Baptists, David A. Mcgee Jan 2014

Old Earth Theology: A Factor That Explains Inconsistent Belief Of Inerrancy Among Florida Southern Baptists, David A. Mcgee

Faculty Publications and Presentations

A major shift in thinking seems to be occurring in contemporary evangelical thinking. Southern Baptists overwhelmingly rejected the views of twentienth-century liberal Southern Baptist professors in favor of a literal translation of Genesis. Now, however, this debate may not be so one-sided among Southern Baptists. Within the current evangelical community there is a belief that the age of the earth has no bearing upon the doctrine of inerrancy. A study was conducted in 2013 that reveals belief in the age of the earth is one factor that contributes to the degree to which the doctrine of inerrancy is affirmed. The …
