The Persistence Of The Associate Degree Nursing Student: The Lost Nurse, Stella A. Barber

Theses and Dissertations

There is controversy surrounding the entry-level degree to the profession of nursing. This study had the focus of showing the persistence of the associate degree nursing student as a way of giving evidence to maintaining this pathway as entry to nursing. Narrative inquiry was used to interview 10 students and 3 faculty on the persistence of the nursing student. Callista Roy's Coping Adaptation Processing Scale was taken by 51 students enrolled in the same nursing program. The overarching themes of the student interviews were goals, learning environment, and admission criteria. The overarching theme as a result of the Coping Adaptation …

Seqothello: Querying Rna-Seq Experiments At Scale, Ye Yu, Jinpeng Liu, Xinan Liu, Yi Zhang, Eamonn Magner, Erik Lehnert, Chen Qian, Jinze Liu

Computer Science Faculty Publications

We present SeqOthello, an ultra-fast and memory-efficient indexing structure to support arbitrary sequence query against large collections of RNA-seq experiments. It takes SeqOthello only 5 min and 19.1 GB memory to conduct a global survey of 11,658 fusion events against 10,113 TCGA Pan-Cancer RNA-seq datasets. The query recovers 92.7% of tier-1 fusions curated by TCGA Fusion Gene Database and reveals 270 novel occurrences, all of which are present as tumor-specific. By providing a reference-free, alignment-free, and parameter-free sequence search system, SeqOthello will enable large-scale integrative studies using sequence-level data, an undertaking not previously practicable for many individual labs.

Common Sense And Common Nonsense: A Conversation About Mental Attitudes, Science, And Society, Daniel S. Levine

Psychology Faculty Publications - Archive

Daniel S. Levine's Common Sense and Common Nonsense observes human decision making, ethics, and social organization as illuminated by the scientific disciplines of neural network theory, neuroscience, experimental psychology, and dynamical systems theory. It is a book whose aim is advocacy as well as research. Its goal is to use an understanding of our brains and minds to better operationalize Aldous Huxley's admonition to "try to be a little kinder." It wanders over examples from sociology, politics, economics, religion, literature, and many other fields but looks at all as examples of a few common themes. The "common nonsense" of the …

Workflow Specification And Inference In Some Extension Of Allen’S Interval Logic., G.S Plesniewicz Oct 2018

Workflow Specification And Inference In Some Extension Of Allen’S Interval Logic., G.S Plesniewicz

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

A workflow is an automation of a process, in which agents (people or programs) are involved in activities for solving a set of tasks in order to attain a common goal. The concept of workflow appeared in business informatics. Currently, the workflow techniques are used in many other fields of informatics (medical and bioinformatics, organization of scientific researches, computer-aided design and manufacturing, robotics et al,) Many methods and formalisms were applied for specifying workflows. Specific logical languages were used for this. In particular, temporal logics are popular as workflow specification formalisms. Allen’s interval logic is the simplest temporal logic, but …

Rosenzweig's Star And Systems Theory, Martin Zwick Oct 2018

Rosenzweig's Star And Systems Theory, Martin Zwick

Complex Systems Faculty Publications and Presentations

As Moses (1992), Pollock (2009), and others have noted, Franz Rosenzweig was committed to systematic thought and developed in The Star of Redemption a highly structured philosophical theology. This paper argues that Rosenzweig’s thought has affinities with contemporary systems theory. While being systematic is not the same as using systems theoretic ideas, systematicity in any domain of knowledge invariably requires general ideas that are applicable to different phenomena. Such ideas are the core of systems theory. It is not surprising that a philosophical-theological work should have to some extent a systems-theoretic character, since systems ideas are ubiquitous not only in …

Construction Of Fuzzy Risk Assessment Models., T.F Bekmuratov, B.T Solieva Oct 2018

Construction Of Fuzzy Risk Assessment Models., T.F Bekmuratov, B.T Solieva

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The tasks of making decisions on risk assessment, depending on the conditions of uncertainty, are divided into two types: decision-making tasks under conditions where the initial data are stochastic; decision-making tasks under conditions when the initial data are of a non-stochastic nature, and the necessary confidence limits for the parameters of the processes under investigation are unknown or unclear. In problems of the second type, risks are manifested to a greater extent than the first, since in solving problems it is necessary to take into account not only statistical uncertainty, but also linguistic. At the same time, one should consider …
