Near-Field Electrospinning Of A Polymer/Bioactive Glass Composite To Fabricate 3d Biomimetic Structures, Krishna C. R. Kolan, Jie Li, Sonya Roberts, Julie A. Semon, Jonghyun Park, D. E. Day, Ming-Chuan Leu

Biological Sciences Faculty Research & Creative Works

Bioactive glasses have recently gained attention in tissue engineering and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting because of their ability to enhance angiogenesis. Some challenges for developing biological tissues with bioactive glasses include incorporation of glass particles and achieving a 3D architecture mimicking natural tissues. In this study, we investigate the fabrication of scaffolds with a polymer/bioactive glass composite using near-field electrospinning (NFES). An overall controlled 3D scaffold with pores, containing random fibers, is created and aimed to provide superior cell proliferation. Highly angiogenic borate bioactive glass (13-93B3) in 20 wt.% is added to polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate scaffolds using the NFES technique. …

Test: A Terminology Extraction System For Technology Related Terms, Murhaf Hossari, Soumyabrata Dev, John Kelleher

Conference papers

Tracking developments in the highly dynamic data-technology landscape are vital to keeping up with novel technologies and tools, in the various areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, It is difficult to keep track of all the relevant technology keywords. In this paper, we propose a novel system that addresses this problem. This tool is used to automatically detect the existence of new technologies and tools in text, and extract terms used to describe these new technologies. The extracted new terms can be logged as new AI technologies as they are found on-the-fly in the web. It can be subsequently classified …

The Second Decade Of Numeracy: Entering The Seas Of Literacy, H. L. Vacher

Numeracy

This multipurpose editorial explores and tries to count the many types of literacy that are referred to by name in Wikipedia and Numeracy. Wikipedia’s Category:Literacy page identifies 44 kinds of literacy that are the subject of articles, ranging from numeracy and graphicacy to braille literacy and diaspora literacy. In addition, searching Google finds more than 30 adjective-literacy or noun-literacy collocations, including quantitative literacy, adult literacy, and document literacy, that do not have Wikipedia pages of their own but are mentioned on other Wikipedia pages. The sum puts this modest literacy count in line with the more than 70 bodies …

An Investigation Of Therapeutic Rapport Through Prosody In Brief Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Carolina De Pasquale, Charlie Cullen, Brian Vaughan

Conference Papers

Therapeutic alliance, a concept closely related to rapport, is one of the most important variables in psychotherapy. High degrees of synchrony/coordination in the therapeutic session are considered to contribute to rapport, and have received attention in the psychotherapy literature. Coordinative behaviours are observable in speech, and they manifest in phenomena such as prosodic accommodation, a dynamic phenomenon closely related to conversational success. A preliminary investigation of interpersonal prosodic dynamics in psychotherapy was performed on a database obtained in collaboration with the University of Padua, consisting of 16 recordings making up the entire course of a brief psychodynamic psychotherapy intervention for …

What Is A Bim Design Model?, James Peters, Malachy Mathews Jan 2019

What Is A Bim Design Model?, James Peters, Malachy Mathews

Conference papers

The recent report into Building Information Management or BIM, by construction law experts May Winfield and Sarah Rock entitled “Winfield Rock Report” [1] gives reason to state that the UK architectural, engineering and construction industry or AEC, is hindered by the absence of a clear definition of Level 2 BIM. The ISO 19650-2 standard published in 2019, is based upon PAS1192-2:2013. The intent of ISO 19650-2 is to provide a road map to facilitate the standardisation of BIM process in a uniformed fashion. A key pillar of ISO 19650 is the “information cycle” and central to this is a federated …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Many lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals report experiencing heterosexism in the workplace, and previous literature has shown that heterosexist experiences at work are related to a plethora of negative work and career outcomes. The findings from the current study of 210 LGB-identified men and women investigated the impact of heterosexist experiences at work on subjective career success. Further, moderators of the relationship between heterosexist experiences at work and subjective career success, including coping self-efficacy, career adaptability, connectedness to the LGBT community, and outness at work were explored. Bisexual individuals experienced similar levels of heterosexist experiences at work as LG …

The Development And Validation Of The Attitudes Towards Individuals Who Sell Sex Inventory (Atiss), Madeline Rae Stenersen Jan 2019

The Development And Validation Of The Attitudes Towards Individuals Who Sell Sex Inventory (Atiss), Madeline Rae Stenersen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Previous research regarding public and individual attitudes about individuals who sell sex (ISS) suggest these attitudes have a significant impact on how this population is treated in various facets of their life (e.g. mental and physical healthcare, occupational opportunities, and daily interactions with others). The manner in which researchers have measured attitudes about ISS has been historically inconsistent and does not encompass all ISS, often excluding subsections of the population such as men who sell sex. Therefore, the purpose of the current study is to develop and validate the Attitudes Towards Individuals Who Sell Sex Inventory (ATISS), an instrument designed …

Self-Directed Learning Of Elementary School Teachers: A Basic Qualitative Study, Wanda Joy Terral Jan 2019

Self-Directed Learning Of Elementary School Teachers: A Basic Qualitative Study, Wanda Joy Terral

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

School leaders invest time and money in the professional development (PD) of their teachers. A characteristic of PD found to improve teacher practice and student learning is teacher self-directedness. Self-directed learning (SDL) is a process in which learners take the initiative, with or without the assistance of others, to diagnose the need to learn, set learning goals, identify resources, select and implement strategies for learning, and evaluate learning outcomes (Knowles, 1975). Self-directed professional learning (SDPL) is a process in which teachers engage to positively impact the students in their classroom. An understanding of existing teacher SDPL can be beneficial to …

Social Recognition As A Problem For Black Rectificatory Justice, John Torrey Jan 2019

Social Recognition As A Problem For Black Rectificatory Justice, John Torrey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Within academic circles, arguments supporting the rectification of anti-Black injustice in America have become more widespread in recent years. Three questions arise from these arguments: How should we understand what it means to rectify those injustices? What explains why these arguments, despite the increased attention by scholars, have not been taken seriously in mainstream American social and political discussions? Finally, what can be done to change this lack of mainstream attention? My dissertation answers these questions by advancing a new moral framework for understanding what it means to rectify anti-black injustice. On this view, rectificatory justice requires possessing a moral …

"Repossessing Her Self-Possession": A Lesson In Communal Pedagogy, Crystal Dekesha Harris Jan 2019

"Repossessing Her Self-Possession": A Lesson In Communal Pedagogy, Crystal Dekesha Harris

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation uses historical and literary mediums to assign pedagogical skills and communal benefit to African American female subjugation and labor typically associated with turmoil, ignominy, and struggle. Accordingly, Black feminist commentary (Lorde) is in conversation with theories of pedagogy (hooks, Ladson-Billings, Dewey) as well as literary philosophy and criticism (Bakhtin, Baraka) about the particular ways each field of study contribute to the analysis of twentieth century African American literature but also provide specific methods for Black communities to construct, implement, and sustain educational principles throughout time. Using the term communal pedagogy, I argue that African American culture has an …

Borders As Documents Of Violence: Colonial Cartography And The Epidermal Border, Kalemba Kimera Kizito

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This dissertation analyzes the role of violence as constitutive and integral to border experiences. I focus on my lived experiences through transnational interaction with borders as analytical texts through which I realize that I am and have always been branded a Black man. I analyze the role of colonial cartography in the construction of the racialized body in Half of A Yellow Sun (2013) by relating the contrived mapping of Africa as symbolic of the mapping of race on to the black body. I also analyze the fixity of the colonial gaze in The Last King of Scotland (2006), focusing …
