The Relationship Between Distributive Leadership, School Culture, And Teacher Self-Efficacy At The Middle School Level, Anthony L. Demarco

Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)

Recent and established research continues to demonstrate the need for school leaders to adapt their leadership practices to reflect the increasing demands associated with their role. This is particularly true for principals of large middle schools. Through the implementation of a distributive leadership framework, a principal can share responsibilities with qualified staff while promoting an institution-wide culture of trust that empowers teachers.

The purpose of this correlational, quantitative research study was to examine the extent to which relationships exist between distributed leadership, school culture, and the self-efficacy of teachers within public middle schools in central New Jersey. This study was …

Micronutrient Availability In Alternative Foods During Agricultural Catastrophes, David Denkenberger, Joshua M. Pearce

Civil and Architectural Engineering Faculty Research

Several catastrophes could block the sun, including asteroid/comet impact, super volcanic eruption, and nuclear war with the burning of cities (nuclear winter). Previous work has analyzed alternate food supplies (e.g., mushrooms growing on dead trees, bacteria growing on natural gas). This was shown to be technically capable of feeding everyone with macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and lipids) and minerals, although economics and politics remain uncertain. The present work analyzes vitamin availability in such alternative food scenarios. The vitamin content of various alternate foods is compared to the US recommended daily allowance (RDA) as well as the average requirement defined by the …

Social Media And Poverty: Paradoxes Of Communicating Poverty Issues On Social Media, Rutiana Dwi Wahyunengseh, Sri Hastjarjo, Didik G. Suharto

BISNIS & BIROKRASI: Jurnal Ilmu Administrasi dan Organisasi

From the democratic theory perspective, social media is a means to improve collaborative public governance between government, society, and business sector, in order to ensure effective public issues management as well as public services. On the other hand, there are preconditions for the effective use of media social; in the context of addressing poverty issues, these preconditions have potential to generate certain paradoxes. This article aims to answer a question “Is the use of social media effective to the poverty alleviation mainstreaming issue?” This study was conducted in one of the cities that won Smart City Award in Indonesia; using …

Gate Level Probabilistic Simulation Based Hardware Trojan Susceptibility Analysis Of Combinational Circuits, Venkata Lakshmi Bhargavi Gurram

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Today multi-million gate integrated circuits are being commonly used in many critical (eg., health care) and sensitive (eg., military) applications. Therefore, they are susceptible to malicious modifications, namely, Hardware Trojans (HTs), with the intent of leaking sensitive information, denial-of-service etc. There are many ways of inserting Hardware Trojans in ICs. Thus, HT detection and mitigation are very important tasks. In this thesis, we propose a novel probabilistic simulation based approach to estimate the susceptibility of a combinational circuit to a HT. One of the common ways is to simulate the netlist with typical input sequences and identifying low activity nets …

Emotion Recognition Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network With Large Scale Physiological Data, Astha Sharma

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Classification of emotions plays a very important role in affective computing and has real-world applications in fields as diverse as entertainment, medical, defense, retail, and education. These applications include video games, virtual reality, pain recognition, lie detection, classification of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), analysis of stress levels, and determining attention levels. This vast range of applications motivated us to study automatic emotion recognition which can be done by using facial expression, speech, and physiological data.

A person’s physiological signals such are heart rate, and blood pressure are deeply linked with their emotional states and can be used to identify a …

Western North American Naturalist

Historical marine ecology provides information on past ocean conditions and community structure that can inform current conservation and management. In an era of rapid global ocean changes, it is critical that managers and scientists ensure sufficient documentation of past and present conditions of resources they manage or study. Documenting, archiving, and preserving historic and contemporary data will provide their colleagues in the future with more information to make robust science-based management decisions. Using a workshop approach, we identified research and archiving priorities to enhance documentation of the past and present conditions of coastal and marine ecosystems of the northern Channel …

Use And Effectiveness Of The Individual Development Plan Among Postdoctoral Researchers: Findings From A Cross-Sectional Study, Nathan L. Vanderford, Teresa M. Evans, L. Todd Weiss, Lindsay Bira, Jazmin Beltran-Gastelum

Toxicology and Cancer Biology Faculty Publications

The individual development plan (IDP) is a career planning tool that aims to assist PhD trainees in self-assessing skills, exploring career paths, developing short- and long-term career goals, and creating action plans to achieve those goals. The National Institutes of Health and many academic institutions have created policies that mandate completion of the IDP by both graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. Despite these policies, little information exists regarding how widely the tool is used and whether it is useful to the career development of PhD trainees. Herein, we present data from a multi-institutional, online survey on the use and effectiveness …

Antibacterial Activities Of Metabolites From Vitis Rotundifolia (Muscadine) Roots Against Fish Pathogenic Bacteria, Kevin Schrader, Mohamed A. Ibrahim, Howaida I. Abd-Alla, Charles L. Cantrell, David S. Pasco

Faculty and Student Publications (Open Access)

Enteric septicemia of catfish, columnaris disease and streptococcosis, caused by Edwardsiella ictaluri, Flavobacterium columnare and Streptococcus iniae, respectively, are the most common bacterial diseases of economic significance to the pond-raised channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus industry. Certain management practices are used by catfish farmers to prevent large financial losses from these diseases such as the use of commercial antibiotics. In order to discover environmentally benign alternatives, using a rapid bioassay, we evaluated a crude extract from the roots of muscadine Vitis rotundifolia against these fish pathogenic bacteria and determined that the extract was most active against F. columnare. Subsequently, several isolated …

Falling, Amber Utterback

USU Student Folklore Fieldwork

So Michael and I had had an argument. And we were laying in bed...and all of a sudden--and it was late it was like midnight--there was a crashing sound in your room. So we go in there and your jewelry tray had fallen off the shelf. And it tipped--

A-The top shelf.

L-It was on the very top shelf. And it was three tiers--your jewelry tray was three tiers high. And it landed straight up and down like it had totally just been picked up and dropped straight down. Nothing even fell off of it.

A-No I didn’t even wake …

Seeing Grandma, Amber Utterback

USU Student Folklore Fieldwork

So apparently Michael and I were going to go hunting. I thought I had talked to Grandma about dropping you off. Do you remember?

A-Yeah I remember.

L-Do you remember if we talked to her?

A-I think we did.

L-I thought so too. So anyways apparently we went on the quad--we loaded you guys on on the quad and headed down there because we were going out to hunt by the river and I thought we saw Grandma waiting in the window...I swear I saw Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma for sure. And so you guys went in the house--

A-No …

USU Student Folklore Fieldwork

I remember that even before you dad died there were weird things that would happen in the house. THat your dad always said it was--that the house was haunted. ODIE! Odie?[yelling for dog] So didn’t someone say somebody had died here beside your dad?

A-That’s what the neighbors told us.

L-So I unfortunately can’t remember all the things that happened before.

A-Well you could talk about the radio.(That’s weird).

L-So when your dad was alive he liked to listen to the radio in the garage while we was out working--it was on the workbench in his garage cause he liked …

Multiple Tumor Suppressors Regulate A Hif-Dependent Negative Feedback Loop Via Isgf3 In Human Clear Cell Renal Cancer., Lili Liao, Zongzhi Z. Liu, Lauren Langbein, Weijia Cai, Eun-Ah Cho, Jie Na, Xiaohua Niu, Wei Jiang, Zhijiu Zhong, Wesley L. Cai, Geetha Jagannathan, Essel Dulaimi, Joseph R. Testa, Robert G. Uzzo, Yuxin Wang, George R. Stark, Jianxin Sun, Stephen C. Peiper, Yaomin Xu, Qin Yan, Haifeng Yang

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Whereas VHL inactivation is a primary event in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the precise mechanism(s) of how this interacts with the secondary mutations in tumor suppressor genes, including PBRM1, KDM5C/JARID1C, SETD2, and/or BAP1, remains unclear. Gene expression analyses reveal that VHL, PBRM1, or KDM5C share a common regulation of interferon response expression signature. Loss of HIF2α, PBRM1, or KDM5C in VHL-/-cells reduces the expression of interferon stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3), a transcription factor that regulates the interferon signature. Moreover, loss of SETD2 or BAP1 also reduces the ISGF3 level. Finally, ISGF3 is strongly tumor-suppressive in a xenograft …

The Role Of Forests In Securing Hydropower Needs Of Cambodia, Mohit Kaura

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Hydropower relies on protection of watersheds to regulate water and sediment yields. Deforestation accelerates the rate of soil erosion, thereby increasing the amount of river sediments heading to the dam's reservoir, decreasing the longevity of the dam. In Cambodia in particular, recent deforestation rates are among the largest on the planet, and forests are expected to disappear within the lifespan of proposed dams. The cost of protecting and restoring forested watersheds can be considered as an annual investment towards sustainable reservoir management and hydropower generation. A modeling framework is developed to estimate the sediment accumulation in reservoirs from deforestation-driven soil …
