Sr-HA/Glass composites were produced. Phase composition of composites was evaluated. Their physical and mechanical properties were determined. Sintered composites mainly consisted of Sr-HA/β-TCP, or β-TCP/Ca2ZnSi2O7. The composites had porosity up to 4 times those of undoped Sr-HA. Compared to undoped Sr-HA, the Sr-HA/Glass composites had lower biaxial flexural strength and hardness. The Weibull modulus for the composites ranged from 2.77 to 18.74.

Charge On Luminous Bodies Resembling Natural Ball Lightning Produced Via Electrical Arcs Through Lump Silicon, Christina L. Porter, Galen P. Miley, David J. Griffiths, Erik J. Sánchez
Charge On Luminous Bodies Resembling Natural Ball Lightning Produced Via Electrical Arcs Through Lump Silicon, Christina L. Porter, Galen P. Miley, David J. Griffiths, Erik J. Sánchez
Physics Faculty Publications and Presentations
A phenomenon resembling natural ball lightning can be produced via electrical arcing through silicon. We use lump silicon instead of silicon wafers to achieve higher production rates and larger, longer-lived luminous balls than previously reported. The luminous balls consist of a silicon core surrounded by a porous network of loosely bound silicon dioxide nanoparticles. We find that the balls carry a small net charge on the order of 10−12 C and propose that the nanoparticles are electrostatically bound to the core due to this charge.

Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of the Universe that is unavailable through standard electromagnetic observations, making its study of fundamental importance to understanding the evolution of the Universe. We carry out a search for the stochastic background with the latest data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors. Consistent with predictions from most stochastic gravitational-wave background models, the data display no evidence of a stochastic gravitational-wave signal. Assuming a gravitational-wave spectrum of ΩGW(f)=Ωα(f/fref)α, we place 95% confidence level …

The discrepancies between polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin to polychlorinated dibenzofuran (PCDD to PCDF) ratios in laboratory and field studies in the exhaust of combustion sources are not fully explained by available formation models. In this paper we present the results of experimental studies of the surface mediated formation of PCDD/F at the conditions mimicking the combustion cool zone from a mixture of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCBz) and 2-monochlorophenol (2-MCP) over a model surface consisting of 5% CuO/Silica. The PCDD to PCDF ratio was found to be strongly dependent on the ratio of chlorinated benzenes to chlorinated phenols and oxygen content. The higher the 1,2-DCBz …
Geographic Distribution And Adaptive Significance Of Genomic Structural Variants: An Anthropological Genetics Perspective, Muthukrishnan Eaaswarkhanth, Pavlos Pavlidis, Omer Gokcumen
Geographic Distribution And Adaptive Significance Of Genomic Structural Variants: An Anthropological Genetics Perspective, Muthukrishnan Eaaswarkhanth, Pavlos Pavlidis, Omer Gokcumen
Human Biology Open Access Pre-Prints
Anthropological geneticists have successfully used single nucleotide and short tandem repeat variations across human genomes to reconstruct human history. These markers have also been used extensively to identify adaptive and phenotypic variation. The recent advent of high-throughput genomic technologies revealed an overlooked type of genomic variation, namely structural variants (SVs). In fact, some SVs may contribute to human adaptation in substantial and previously unexplored ways. SVs include deletions, insertions, duplications, inversions and translocations of genomic segments that vary among individuals from the same species. SVs are much less numerous than single nucleotide variants, but account for at least seven times …

Formation, Maintenance, And Dissolution Of Employment Relationships, Jonathan Biggane
Formation, Maintenance, And Dissolution Of Employment Relationships, Jonathan Biggane
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Much like scholarship on employment relationships, the goal of contemporary research on romantic relationships is to understand the forces that attract partners to one another and the underlying mechanisms that form long-term stable and satisfying unions. The three manuscripts herein integrate these seemingly disparate bodies of literature to address gaps in the turnover literature. First, I proffer positive illusions as a proximal antecedent of voluntary turnover and an answer as to why employees remain in bad employment relationships despite facing shocks, accumulated dissatisfaction, and quality alternatives. Second, I examine the content of exit conversations, identifying how employees approach exit (i.e., …
Deepeval: An Integrated Framework For The Evaluation Of Student Responses In Dialogue Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Rajendra Banjade
Deepeval: An Integrated Framework For The Evaluation Of Student Responses In Dialogue Based Intelligent Tutoring Systems, Rajendra Banjade
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
The automatic assessment of student answers is one of the critical components of an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) because accurate assessment of student input is needed in order to provide effective feedback that leads to learning. But this is a very challenging task because it requires natural language understanding capabilities. The process requires various components, concepts identification, co-reference resolution, ellipsis handling etc. As part of this thesis, we thoroughly analyzed a set of student responses obtained from an experiment with the intelligent tutoring system DeepTutor in which college students interacted with the tutor to solve conceptual physics problems, designed an …

A study was conducted to discover how first-year composition (FYC) teachers at large, public, 4-year universities respond to students who write prose with numerous Standard Written English (SWE) errors, the techniques the teachers use, and if the teachers perceive themselves as positively impacting the students’ writing. The researcher believed the teachers’ background (i.e., education and experience) would have an effect. Method: An anonymous survey was sent to FYC teachers at large, public, 4-year universities. A follow-up interview was conducted, and a web search performed. Results: One hundred and twenty-one participants completed the survey; three were interviewed. Over 49% used the …

Evaluating Weight Status Of Pediatric Oncology Patients: A Pilot Study, Perrin Leanne Tamblyn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Overall 5-year survival rates for children with cancer have improved and are above 80%.39 Studies indicate that childhood cancer survivors have an increased risk for being overweight or obese due to treatment-related complications.14 Therefore, the correct assessment of weight status in pediatric oncology patients is important in identifying those patients at risk for being overweight or obesity. Neck circumference, ideal body weight percentage, and body mass index were compared to the Tanita© bioelectrical impedance analyzer measure of body fat in 27 pediatric oncology patients with leukemia and lymphoma. BMI was found to be in better agreement with the BIA than …

Effects Of Macroscopic Heterogeneity On Cardiac Propagation And Termination Of Reentry, Deepika Konakanchi
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is believed to be a result of uncontrolled and sustained spiral wave reentries. Few recent studies have discussed the effects of the heterogeneous nature of atrial tissue at cellular and microscopic levels, on the electrical activity of the heart and defibrillation of AF; however, the effect of macroscopic patches of heterogeneity in the size ranges 3-8 mm has not been studied. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of macroscopic patches of heterogeneity on cardiac propagation and termination of reentry in a computationally inexpensive, 2D bidomain model of a sheet of cardiac tissue.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
A screen-printed electrode (SPE), intended to be used as part of a cardiac mapping system, was fabricated and evaluated to determine if SPEs are a suitable alternative to current electrodes. The SPEs were designed in AutoCAD and screen-printed using silver conductor ink and an insulating paste. Measurements were taken during electrode development to determine how well the design translated to the final printed product. The efficacy of the insulating material used, and the affects of print speed on print quality were also evaluated. Finally, the performance of the SPEs was studied through a stimulating and recording model, as well as …

Automated Detection Of Cigarette Smoking Puffs From Mobile Sensors - A Multimodal Approach, Amin Ahsan Ali
Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive
Smoking has been conclusively proved to be the leading cause of preventable deaths in the United States. Extensive research is conducted on developing effective smoking cessation programs. Most smoking cessation programs achieve low success rate because they are unable to intervene at the right moment. Identification of high-risk situations that may lead an abstinent smoker to relapse involves discovering the associations among various contexts that precede a smoking session or a smoking lapse. In the absence of an automated method, detection of smoking events still relies on subject self-report that is prone to failure to report and involves subject burden. …
