An Assessment Of Campus Climate In Sexual Minority College Students: Recommendations For Creating An Inclusive Campus, Jennifer Murray Jan 2016

An Assessment Of Campus Climate In Sexual Minority College Students: Recommendations For Creating An Inclusive Campus, Jennifer Murray

Theses

While several studies have clearly identified a link between sexual minority status and discrimination, harassment, and victimization on college campuses, less in known about sexual minority students and other indicators of campus climate. The goal of the current study was to examine the association between sexual minority status and students’ perceptions of their connection to the university, trust in the university to keep them safe, and confidence in sexual assault reporting system at their university. Contrary to the predictions, there was no significant difference between LGBTQ students and non-LGBTQ students in their connection to the university and trust in the …

A Global Measure Of Digital And Ict Literacy Skills, John Ainley, Wolfram Schulz, Julian Fraillon Jan 2016

A Global Measure Of Digital And Ict Literacy Skills, John Ainley, Wolfram Schulz, Julian Fraillon

ICT - Digital Literacy

Digital and ICT literacy is considered an important competence for full participation in a knowledge economy and an information society. Consequently, interest at national and international level has emerged to explore the best ways of measuring the extent to which, and how equitably, competence in this area is being achieved. This paper reviews the definitions of digital and ICT literacy that have been adopted in cross-national studies, investigates the approaches to the assessment of digital and ICT literacy that have been employed in those studies and articulates the criteria that should guide the development of a global measure of digital …

Simulation Of Cryolipolysis As A Novel Method For Noninvasive Fat Layer Reduction, Abbas Majdabadi, Mohammad Abazari Jan 2016

Simulation Of Cryolipolysis As A Novel Method For Noninvasive Fat Layer Reduction, Abbas Majdabadi, Mohammad Abazari

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Background/aim: Regarding previous problems in conventional liposuction methods, the need for development of new fat removal operations was appreciated. In this study we are going to simulate one of the novel methods, cryolipolysis, aimed to tackle those drawbacks. Materials and methods: We think that simulation of clinical procedures contributes considerably in efficacious performance of the operations. To do this we have attempted to simulate temperature distribution in a sample fat of the human body. Using Abaqus software we have presented the graphical display of temperature-time variations within the medium. Results: Findings of our simulation indicate that tissue temperature decreases after …

Spatial-Temporal Stochasticity Of Electric Vehicles In Integrated Traffic And Power System, Sadhana Shrestha Jan 2016

Spatial-Temporal Stochasticity Of Electric Vehicles In Integrated Traffic And Power System, Sadhana Shrestha

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A penetration of a large number of electric vehicles for charging their batteries in the grid can have a negative impact to the grid. To prevent a negative effect to the grid, the behavior of electric vehicles must be accurately modeled and their charging schedules must be coordinated. Therefore, it is necessary to determine where and how much charge is available in electric vehicles in the distribution system. In this thesis, a state transition algorithm is designed to determine a stochastic model of electric vehicles to simulate electric vehicle movement in an integrated traffic and power network. Dijkstra’s algorithm is …

Effect Of Impurities On The Josephson Current Through Helical Metals: Exploiting A Neutrino Paradigm, V. Parameswaran Nair, Pouyan Ghaemi Jan 2016

Effect Of Impurities On The Josephson Current Through Helical Metals: Exploiting A Neutrino Paradigm, V. Parameswaran Nair, Pouyan Ghaemi

Publications and Research

In this letter we study the effect of time-reversal symmetric impurities on the Josephson supercurrent through two dimensional helical metals such as on topological insulator surface state. We show that contrary to the usual superconducting-normal metal-superconducting junctions, the suppression of supercurrent in superconducting-helical metal-superconducting junction is mainly due to fluctuations of impurities in the junctions. Our results, which is a condensed matter realization of a part of the MSW effect for neutrinos, shows that the relationship between normal state conductance and critical current of Josephson junctions is significantly modified for Josephson junctions on the surface of topological insulators. We also …

Sialyltransferase Inhibition And Recent Advances, Libo Wang, Ying Liu, Lijun Wu, Xue-Long Sun Jan 2016

Sialyltransferase Inhibition And Recent Advances, Libo Wang, Ying Liu, Lijun Wu, Xue-Long Sun

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Sialic acids, existing as terminal sugars of glycoconjugates, play important roles in various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell–cell adhesion, immune defense, tumor cell metastasis, and inflammation. Sialyltransferases (STs) catalyze the transfer of sialic acid residues to non-reducing oligosaccharide chains of proteins and lipids, using cytidine monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP-Neu5Ac) as the donor. Elevated sialyltransferase activity leads to overexpression of cell surface sialic acids and contributes to many disease developments, such as cancer and inflammation. Therefore, sialyltransferases are considered as potential drug targets for disease treatment. Inhibitors of sialyltransferases thus are of medicinal interest, especially for the cancer …


Ethical Limitations On The State's Use Of Arational Persuasion, Nadia N. Sawicki Jan 2016

Ethical Limitations On The State's Use Of Arational Persuasion, Nadia N. Sawicki

Faculty Publications & Other Works

Policymakers frequently use arational appeals – such as those relying on emotion, cognitive biases, and subliminal messaging – to persuade citizens to adopt behaviors that support public goals. However, these communication tactics have been widely criticized for relying on arational triggers, rather than reasoned argument. This Article develops a fuller account of the non-consequentialist objections to arational persuasion by state actors, as well as the arguments in favor of such tactics, that have been presented by scholars of rhetoric, political theory, and cognitive science. The Article concludes by proposing ethically justifiable limitations on state communications that should be compelling to …
