Statistical Analysis Of Momentum In Basketball, Mackenzi Stump

Honors Projects

The “hot hand” in sports has been debated for as long as sports have been around. The debate involves whether streaks and slumps in sports are true phenomena or just simply perceptions in the mind of the human viewer. This statistical analysis of momentum in basketball analyzes the distribution of time between scoring events for the BGSU Women’s Basketball team from 2011-2017. We discuss how the distribution of time between scoring events changes with normal game factors such as location of the game, game outcome, and several other factors. If scoring events during a game were always randomly distributed, or …

Exploring The Role Of Internationalization Knowledge In Fostering Strategic Renewal: A Dynamic Capabilities Perspective, Monica Riviere, Gabriele Suder, A. Erin Bass

Management Faculty Publications

Internationalization knowledge (IK) is important to successfully enter and develop competitive strategies abroad. Yet, how IK is advanced and improved across the multinational enterprise (MNE), and how this contributes to the MNE’s strategic renewal is less understood. This analysis is based on an in-depth case study of Microsoft International to explore how IK is advanced, improved, and integrated across the enterprise. Our findings suggest that IK plays a critical role in fostering strategic renewal of an MNE. More specifically, sensing, seizing, and transforming capabilities jointly provide the necessary basis that enable IK to facilitate strategic renewal. We contribute to the …

Severity Of Acute Infectious Mononucleosis Correlates With Cross- Reactive Influenza Cd8 T-Cell Receptor Repertoires, Nuray Aslan, Levi B. Watkin, Anna Gil, Rabinarayan Mishra, Fransenio G. Clark, Raymond M. Welsh, Dario Ghersi, Katherine Luzuriaga, Liisa K. Selin

Interdisciplinary Informatics Faculty Publications

Fifty years after the discovery of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), it remains unclear how primary infection with this virus leads to massive CD8 T-cell expansion and acute infectious mononucleosis (AIM) in young adults. AIM can vary greatly in severity, from a mild transient influenza-like illness to a prolonged severe syndrome. We questioned whether expansion of a unique HLA-A2.01-restricted, cross-reactive CD8 T-cell response between influenza virus A-M158 (IAV-M1) and EBV BMLF1280 (EBV-BM) could modulate the immune response to EBV and play a role in determining the severity of AIM in 32 college students. Only ex vivo total IAV-M1 and IAV-M1+EBV-BM cross-reactive tetramer+ …

Development Of Image Analysis Toolboxes For Biological Imaging, Samia Sanjari

Student Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of tissue engineering is to regenerate the damaged tissues by using three dimensional porous scaffolds which act as substrates for tissue regeneration. Several studies have showed that structural properties of scaffold (fiber diameter, pore size of scaffold, and fiber orientation) play a significant role in tissue regeneration. Therefore, in order to design a suitable scaffold for tissue engineering application, it is important to understand the structural properties of fibrous scaffold. To achieve this aim in this study, standalone image analysis toolboxes are generated by using the MATLAB software for finding the mean pore size of scaffolds, length, diameter …

Should It Stay Or Should It Go? The Case Of Silent 'E' In Derived Word Spelling., Olivia Peek Goodon

Student Theses and Dissertations

In English, sound-letter correspondence is not always consistent, and one letter or string of letters can represent many sounds. Additionally, there are many exceptions to spelling rules, making spelling difficult to master. Spelling is a linguistic skill. Children use a variety of linguistic strategies and spelling rules when spelling, including knowledge of morphology, phonology, orthography, and etymology. In the upper elementary years, derived word reading and spelling becomes integral to vocabulary growth and literacy development (Anglin, 1993). Taran and Shollenbarger (2011) found that 5th graders had a higher frequency of spelling errors involving derived words that originally ended in silent …

The Effectiveness Of Video Modeling In Word-Finding Therapy For Individuals Diagnosed With Aphasia, Hannah Catherine Harris

Student Theses and Dissertations

Aphasia, deficits in language due to neurological damage, can impact receptive and expressive language skills. A common characteristic of aphasia is anomia, or word-finding difficulties. The purpose of this study was to determine if the type of modeling would impact the success of word-finding therapy on individuals diagnosed with aphasia. A quasi-experimental longitudinal alternating treatment single-group design was selected. Speech samples of two participants were collected over a three-month period. Duration of response time and the accuracy of target words were indicators of word-finding abilities. There were significant differences in the rate and accuracy of response for the target words …

Emulating Natural Disturbance Using Variable Retention Harvest Regimes: Measuring Short-Term Changes In The Avian Community And Understory Nest Survival, Jennifer L. Wilcox

Student Theses and Dissertations

Over the last 200 years, forests of the eastern United States were largely cleared for industrial and agricultural purposes, and subsequent regrowth has resulted in mostly even-aged, closed canopy stands. Furthermore, dynamic ecological conditions including windthrow, ice storms, floods, fires, tree senescence, and insect outbreaks, which are necessary for maintaining healthy forest ecosystem functions and biodiversity, have become infrequent and/or do not have the same effects in contemporary forests as they did in old growth systems. This has partially led to declines in a number of disturbance-dependent and early-successional avian species, and a need for harvest prescriptions that emulate these …

Causes And Consequences Of Range Expansion In The Genus Tyrannus, Alexander Joseph Worm

Student Theses and Dissertations

Investigating factors that influence species’ ranges and the potential consequences arising from expansion is vital in successfully predicting future distributions. Species-habitat associations are considered to be fixed, but if they are variable, inaccurate forecasts may occur. Additionally, hybridization with heterospecifics can affect species’ ranges, possibly preventing successful expansion. Here, I used two expanding bird species, Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus forticatus) and Western Kingbird (T. verticalis), to assess how differential habitat selection and hybridization may influence range expansion. First, I explored variation in habitat selection behavior of Scissor-tailed Flycatchers by comparing habitat selection patterns at the periphery with the historic core of …

Perceptions Of Facebook Privacy Among Arkansas State University Students, Emmanuel Omotayo Ogundijo

Student Theses and Dissertations

Since its inception in 2004, Facebook has been one of the leading social networking sites among college students. Despite its numerous advantages, the issue of privacy on Facebook has been a major concern. In order to know how college students perceive privacy on Facebook, in-depth interviews were conducted among 20 college students (10 males, 10 females) at Arkansas State University. The study found that a majority of the participants have not read the Facebook privacy policies noted when one signs in to use Facebook. College students employ different protection strategies in restricting their profiles. The result indicated that intrusion is …

Copper Nanowires Synthesis And Self-Assembly For Interconnect Applications, Srikar Rao Darmakkolla

Dissertations and Theses

One-dimensional (1D) nanomaterial self-assembly offers an excellent approach to the fabrication of highly complex nanodevices. Despite considerable effort and research, precisely controlling the orientation and positioning of nanowires (NWs) on a large-scale area and assembling into a functional device is still a state of the art problem. This thesis focuses on the dimensionally controlled copper nanowires (Cu NWs) synthesis, and magnetic field assisted self-assembly of cupronickel nanowires (Cu/Ni NWs) into interconnect structures on a carbon doped silicon dioxide (CDO) wafer.

CDO is a low dielectric constant (k) material used for copper interconnects in multilayered complex integrated circuits (ICs). …

Non-Native Mangroves (Rhizophora Mangle) Of Moloka'i, Hawai'i: A Socio-Ecological Analysis, Casey Lynette Lewis

Dissertations and Theses

The formation of novel ecosystems by non-native species poses management challenges that are both socially and ecologically complex. This complexity necessitates consideration of both ecological dynamics and social attitudes and perceptions. Red mangrove propagules were introduced to Moloka'i, Hawaii in 1902 to mitigate the effects of soil erosion and they have since spread along the coast and to adjacent islands creating novel habitat. Non-native mangroves in Hawai'i present a unique case study to examine diverse social attitudes and perceptions resulting from a long history of land cover transformations on the Hawaiian Islands, socio-cultural diversity of involved stakeholders, and the potential …

How Does The Law Put A Historical Analogy To Work?: Defining The Imposition Of "A Condition Analogous To That Of A Slave" In Modern Brazil, Rebecca J. Scott, Leonardo Augusto De Andrade Barbosa, Carlos Henrique Borlido Haddad

Articles

Over the last decades, the Brazilian state has engaged in concerted legal efforts to identify and prosecute cases of what officials refer to as “slave labor” (trabalho escravo). At a conceptual level, the campaign has paired the constitutional protection of human dignity and the “social value of labor” with an expansive interpretation of the offense described in Article 149 of the Criminal Code as “the reduction of a person to a condition analogous to that of a slave.” At the operational level, mobile teams of inspectors and prosecutors have intervened in thousands of work sites, and labor prosecutors …

Loving You Is Complicated: The Aesthetics Of Personal And Political Tension In Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly, Jacob Sillyman

Senior Theses

This paper explores the aesthetic and lyrical achievements of musician Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 To Pimp A Butterfly, the political context of these achievements, and the manner in which the critical discourse surrounding the work has handled the artistic and political tensions within the work of Lamar. The paper first frames To Pimp A Butterfly beside the criticism that surrounds it, and questions the value and appropriateness in viewing the work as a piece of political protest art. The paper goes on to examine the techniques by which the piece builds a sense of tension and confusion in regards to …

The Regulation Of Clinical Research: What's Love Got To Do With It?, John Lantos

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

The central philosophical pillar of the current system of research regulation in the United States today is that clinical investigators cannot and should not be trusted to protect the interests of the people whom they recruit to participate in research. That distrust of researchers is coupled with a starry-eyed idealism about trustworthiness of clinicians. In my opinion, the distrust of researchers and the complacency about clinicians are both misplaced. The result of these twin errors is that people are overprotected in research studies and inadequately protected in clinical care. Patients outside of research studies are exposed to many types of …

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (Sers) Substrates And Probes, Srismrita Basu

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Raman spectroscopy is a well-known technique for complex molecular detection. In Raman spectrometry, laser beam is focused on a sample to generate a unique "fingerprint" of the molecule. The Raman signal is very weak. To overcome this problem nano rough metallic substrates are fabricated to enhance the signal strength. In clinical applications, remote contact and minimally invasive probes inside the specimen are needed.

This research work is divided in: (1) development of Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) substrate using gold coated etched aluminum foil, (2) development of the SERS probe using the aluminum based substrate with a single optical fiber …
