Pezet, Antoinette, Emily Durgin

Querying the Past: LGBTQ Maine Oral History Project Collection

Antoinette Pezet was born in New York April 23, 1937 as William Anthony Pezet. She recognized she was bisexual in her early teens. Her family was accepting of her sexuality very early on. Before enlisted in the military in her early twenties, she married her first wife, Helga. Due to mental health issues, Helga and Antoinette divorced. Antoinette then married her second wife, Emily, and went on to have two children.

It was not until Antoinette was divorced from Emily that she started dressing as a woman. In her early fifties she had a conversation with Jean Vermette that first …

Ethical Veganism, Virtue, And Greatness Of The Soul, Carlo Alvaro

Publications and Research

Many moral philosophers have criticized intensive animal farming because it can be harmful to the environment, it causes pain and misery to a large number of animals, and furthermore eating meat and animal-based products can be unhealthful. The issue of industrially farmed animals has become one of the most pressing ethical questions of our time. On the one hand, utilitarians have argued that we should become vegetarians or vegans because the practices of raising animals for food are immoral since they minimize the overall happiness. Deontologists, on the other hand, have argued that the practices of raising animals for food …

Compact And Wideband Mmic Phase Shifters Using Tunable Active Inductor Loaded All-Pass Networks, David M. Zaiden

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation addresses the design of monolithically integrated phase shifters at S- and L- frequency bands using a commercially available GaAs process from Triquint. The focus of the design is to operate over a wide bandwidth with full 360° phase shift capability, 50 Ω input/output impedance match and low RMS phase and gain errors. The first version of the design is based on passive all-pass phase shifters integrated with wideband amplifiers to compensate for insertion loss. This design uses a 4-bit system to achieve the required phase shift and each bit consists of 3 sections of all-pass filters designed at …

Evaluation Of A Microsphere-Based Immunoassay (Mia) In Measuring Diagnostic And Prognostic Markers Of Dengue Virus Infection, Jason H. Ambrose

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Infections with dengue viruses (DENV) constitute both a global problem as well as locally in Florida. DENV comprise four distinct serotypes of single-stranded RNA viruses and belong to the family Flaviviridae. DENV are among the most medically important arboviruses in the world and cases may currently exceed 400 million per annum. Additionally, dengue established its first recorded endemic transmission cycle in the state of Florida in over a half century, first within the Florida Keys during 2009-10 followed by an unrelated outbreak in Martin County in 2013. The clinical profile of DENV infections ranges from a mild febrile illness …

A Historical Assessment Of Asbestos Exposure, Abatement Methods And Containment Efficacy During Asbestos Containing Material Removal Activities At A Large Federal Facility, Daniel A. Newfang

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Asbestos sampling and monitoring data, starting from 2003, located in a large federal facility’s Asbestos Air Database Management (AADM) repository will be queried and analyzed on airborne asbestos fiber concentrations generated from abatement activities of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM). Historically, concerns expressed by personnel outside of the containment areas, whether adjacent to or quite a distance from the asbestos abatement activities present operational challenges for the project manager, potential angst and uneasiness to personnel residing next to the abatement activity as well as programmatic concerns to the building/facility managers. The concerned individuals working outside the abatement …

Contributions Of Appetitive And Aversive Motivational Systems To Decision-Making, Heather E. Soder

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Optimal decision-making entails outcome evaluation, comparing received costs and benefits with predicted costs and benefits. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), a brain area with major connections to the appetitive and aversive motivation systems, may provide the neural substrate of this evaluation process. One way to measure the relative contribution of these systems on decision-making is to measure individual differences in risk-taking behaviors. For individuals who make risky choices, this evaluation step may be biased: some show a preference for immediate, short-term rewards (increased appetitive system), while devaluing the long-term consequences of their choices (decreased aversive system). However, most studies supporting …

Examining The Effects Of Numbered Heads Together Upon On-Task Behavior And Quiz Scores On Employability Skills Content Of Students Identified With Intellectual Disabilities In A Post-Secondary Education Program, Adrain Christopher

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Enrollment in post-secondary education (PSE) programs is vital for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) to decrease the unemployment and underemployment of this population. Traditional teaching methods (e.g., lecture and note-taking) are often used during instruction in PSE classrooms despite the challenges they present for students with ID. Researchers suggest that there are positive correalations between increased active student engagement and percentage of time on-task, as well as academic performance. To date, strategies like Numbered Heads Together (NHT), a peer-mediated instructional strategy (PMI), has shown to be a more effective strategy than the commonly used method of traditional instruction (i.e., lecture …

Content And Language Integrated Learning. A Case Study Of Teacher Instructional Practices In Cantabria, Spain, Patricia Barcena Toyos

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This multi-case study investigates CLIL's implementation in bilingual elementary schools in the region of Cantabria (Spain) by examining teacher's instructional practices when teaching content in a foreign language (English). The study examines whether teacher's instructional practices reflect the dual focus on content and language of the approach, and how teachers address language issues and integrate content and language in their CLIL lessons. Additionally, the study attempts to learn whether CLIL teachers' training in this approach impacts their instructional practices.Data for this study were collected from four praticipants using in-classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and classroom documents (the course syllabus) and then …

Simulated-Data Adaptation Based Piecewise Linear Transformation For Robust Speech Recognition, Thatphithakkul Nattanun, Kruatrachue Boontee, Wutiwiwatchai Chai, Marukatat Sanparith, Boonpiam Vataya

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

This paper proposes an efficient method of simulated-data adaptation for robust speech recognition. The method is applied to tree-structured piecewise linear transformation (PLT). The original PLT selects an acoustic model using tree-structured HMMs and the acoustic model is adapted by input speech in an unsupervised scheme. This adaptation can degrade the acoustic model if the input speech is incorrectly transcribed during the adaptation process. Moreover, adaptation may not be effective if only the input speech is used. Our proposed method increases the size of adaptation data by adding noise portions from the input speech to a set of prerecorded clean …

Our Equity: Federalism And Chancery, Jeffrey Steven Gordon

University of Miami Law Review

Federal courts sitting in diversity cannot agree on whether state or federal law governs the award of a preliminary injunction. The conditions for the exercise of a federal diversity court’s extraordinary remedial power are anybody’s guess. The immediate cause of the confusion is Justice Frankfurter’s cryptic opinion in Guaranty Trust Co. v. York, which aggressively enforced Erie and, at the same time, preserved the so-called “equitable remedial rights” doctrine. There are, however, much broader and deeper causes that explain why the equitable remedial rights doctrine is almost incomprehensible today.

This Article argues that the early history of equity in …
