A Governance Perspective For System-Of-Systems, Polinpapilinho F. Katina, Charles B. Keating, James A. Bobo, Tyrone S. Toland

Engineering Management & Systems Engineering Faculty Publications

The operating landscape of 21st century systems is characteristically ambiguous, emergent, and uncertain. These characteristics affect the capacity and performance of engineered systems/enterprises. In response, there are increasing calls for multidisciplinary approaches capable of confronting increasingly ambiguous, emergent, and uncertain systems. System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is an example of such an approach. A key aspect of SoSE is the coordination and the integration of systems to enable ‘system-of-systems’ capabilities greater than the sum of the capabilities of the constituent systems. However, there is a lack of qualitative studies exploring how coordination and integration are achieved. The objective of this …

Theses and Dissertations

Arkitektura është krijimi i hapësirës-Louis Kahn. Sot hapësirat tona mund t’i ndajmë lirshëm në hapësira inividuale dhe ato publike apo të përbashkëta. Ndër vite ka lindur nevoja në shoqëri të krijohen hapësira të tilla, që do t’i shërbenin aktiviteteve sociale të përbashkëta. Për të filluar me atë se cfarë do të thotë aktivitet social, nga burimet sociologjike dhe psikologjike kuptojmë se një term i tillë u referohet disa aktiviteteve në shënjestër të njeriut që marrin parasysh nevojat e të tjerëve, preferencat dhe dëshirat në kuadër të normave të pranuara shoqërore.

Creative Authors And Their Messages: A Collection Of Criticisms, Vicki Taylor

Honor’s College Freeman Research Journal

Oppression is evident m every society: from the beginning of time, First in England and then America, the defilement of people based on race, gender, and birthplace found its way from the streets of the country to the pages of many works of literature. These core issues in the plot of narrative gave rise to literary criticism. The fragile psyche of immigrants is outlined in Charles Brockden Browns Edgar Huntly, the defilement of women is greatly shown through the writing of Edna's search for identity in Kate Chopin's The Awakening, and the lingering effects of slavery are recorded in the …

Small Group Learning Is Associated With Reduced Salivary Cortisol And Testosterone In Undergraduate Students, Kristin Snopkowski, Kathryn Demps, Ross Griffiths, Karen S. Fulk, Scott May, Kimberly Neagle, Kayla Downs, Michaela Eugster, Tessa Amend

Anthropology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Small group learning activities have been shown to improve student academic performance and educational outcomes. Yet, we have an imperfect understanding of the mechanisms by which this occurs. Group learning may mediate student stress by placing learning in a context where students have both social support and greater control over their learning. We hypothesize that one of the methods by which small group activities improve learning is by mitigating student stress. To test this, we collected physiological measures of stress and self-reported perceived stress from 26 students in two undergraduate classes. Salivary cortisol and testosterone were measured within students across …

Feeling It: Toward Style As Culturally Structured Intuition, Keith Rhodes

Department of English: Faculty Publications

I have been moved to write a serious article about teaching style not because I have great and earth-shaking method to impart, but in some sense because I do not, even after years of study—including the small bit of empirical research at the core of this article. Style, as it turns out, remains as difficult, complex, and ultimately intuitive as most of the rest of writing. I hope, ultimately, to encourage writing teachers to focus more attention on style, basing approaches on what we already know rather than waiting and hoping for some flawless system to materialize. Indeed, by the …

Think2act: Using Multimodal Data To Assess Human Cognitive And Physical Performance, Maher Abujelala

Computer Science and Engineering Dissertations - Archive

As computers become more advanced, affordable, and smaller in size, we start to use them in almost every aspect of our daily life. Nowadays, the use of computers is not just limited to accomplish work-related tasks. Instead, we use computers for education, entertainment, healthcare, and in many other areas to facilitate our daily life activities. From here, the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field emerged. HCI is a multidisciplinary field of study that focuses on utilizing computers and technology to interact with humans, improve their quality of life, and enhance their performance. The rapid advancements in other related research fields, such as …

Distinct Aspects Of The Early Environment Contribute To Associative Memory, Cued Attention, And Memory-Guided Attention: Implications For Academic Achievement, Maya L. Rosen, Andrew N. Meltzoff, Margaret A. Sheridan, Katie A. Mclaughlin

Neuroscience: Faculty Publications

Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with numerous aspects of cognitive development and disparities in academic achievement. The specific environmental factors that contribute to these disparities remain poorly understood. We used observational methods to characterize three aspects of the early environment that may contribute to SES-related differences in cognitive development: violence exposure, cognitive stimulation, and quality of the physical environment. We evaluated the associations of these environmental characteristics with associative memory, cued attention, and memory-guided attention in a sample of 101 children aged 60–75 months. We further investigated whether these specific cognitive abilities mediated the association between SES and academic …

All Dissertations

The ability for organizations to effectively systematically change their culture is becoming increasingly necessary. These changes are often implemented through a strategic process to which employee reactions have a great impact on their success. This study tested a new affective behavioral circumplex model of reactions to change. Although that was not fully supported, the data clusters that did emerge held true across samples. Not only did this study test this new model but also used new methods in Machine learning to examine qualitative responses which were found to be accurate and reliable. Furthermore, this study examined how this model is …

Exploring Yoga As A Leisure-Stress Coping Strategy Among Adults With Intellectual And Developmental Disabilities, Molly Richardson

All Theses

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) are at a greater risk for experiencing stress, particularly stress associated with negative interpersonal relations, than individuals without disabilities. Research has found that individuals with IDD often use maladaptive coping strategies to manage stress. The purpose of this study was to explore whether participation in a seven-and-a-half week yoga intervention served as a leisure-stress coping strategy for adults with IDD. Using a multi-method research design, six participants completed pre- and post-Lifestress Inventory assessments, and nine participants completed post-intervention semi-structured interviews focused on yoga and coping. Qualitative results indicated that yoga served as an …

Additionally, this thesis looks in-depth at each work’s use of transformation and dogs to convey views on Soviet Russia following the October Revolution. Ultimately, both works represent transformations involving …

Parental Involvement Matters: The Teachers’ Perspective, Willie Penn

CUP Ed.D. Dissertations

The impact of parental involvement in education, as well as parents’ relationships with educators, has been of great interest to researchers in education. Researchers have recorded numerous benefits of the influence of parental involvement in the quality of education and the academic achievement of students. Directed by Epstein’s framework of involvement, the purpose of this qualitative explanatory case study was to understand the teachers’ perspectives on parental involvement and how these relate to parental involvement in an inner-city school in a large public-school district in North Carolina that has low parental involvement. The data collection methods include interviews, follow-up interviews, …

Insight Into How College Freshmen Understand Their Reading And Text Experiences, Jolie Dorrell

CUP Ed.D. Dissertations

This qualitative case study was designed to add insight to the scholarly literature about how college freshmen understand and describe their reading experiences. Two research questions guided this study: How do college freshmen understand and describe their educational reading experiences, and how do college freshmen understand the difference between college level reading and the reading experiences they had in high school. The researcher utilized semistructured interviews with a sample of 13 participants in a rural county in the western portion of the United States. Participants also provided textual samples from their freshman level college courses. Each participant had completed at …
