Impacts Of High Pressure On Hydrocarbon Biodegradation, Xiaoxu Sun

C-IMAGE data

Sediment samples collected from the northern Gulf of Mexico were used for incubations in which microbial respiration rates were measured as a proxy for biodegradation of hydrocarbons. Following the incubation, microbial communities were characterized from incubation samples using next generation sequencing of SSU rRNA genes. A systematic approach was used whereby pressure, temperature, and hydrocarbon substrate were varied.

Mitigating Trauma In The Newcomer Classroom: A Commitment Beyond Borders, Laura Garriguez

Master's Projects and Capstones

In this field project, you will observe a melding of macro-and micro-perspectives on the mitigation of trauma in the newcomer classroom. The central premise of the project is that without understanding the socio-political factors, socio-economic realities, and historical process of migration to the United States, it is nearly impossible to attempt to ameliorate the trauma of students new to the country. In other words, attempts to do so without this perspective can and often does leave students marginalized and/or feeling marginalized. Working from an anti-racist and anti-imperialist lens, the project’s framework is grounded in the scholarship and activism of abolitionist …

Algal Wrack Community Composition And Succession On A Sandy Beach In San Diego, Ca, Marisol Palomares

Theses

Sandy beaches are high-energy impact zones that produce little to no organic material. Much of the organic matter on beaches is washed up on shore in the form of algal wrack, providing a vital source of nutrients, food, and habitat for a variety of organisms on the sandy beach. Over time wrack will decay and decompose, releasing nutrients including nitrogen and phosphorus, which are consumed by benthic microalgae and bacteria. The type of wrack and geomorphology of the beach environments affect decomposition, which in turn supports a variety of different wrack associated macrofaunal communities. Different species of algal wrack will …

The Effects Of Principal Feedback On Instruction And Student Achievement, Jeremy Brownfield

Dissertations

Legislative and educational reform through the first 20 years of this century has focused largely on the impact of the teacher and principal on student achievement (Kraft & Gilmour, 2016; Marshall, 2017). Principals’ influence upon achievement is second only to that of classroom teachers; however, principal impact is indirect and difficult to quantify (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson, & Wahlstorm, 2004). This mixed-methods study involved the analysis of secondary data and elicitation of teachers’ and principals’ perceptions in order to determine the impact of principals on student achievement. The quantitative portion of the study involved an analysis of secondary data including the …

The Impact Of The Flipped Classroom Model: A Study Of 5th Grade Students, Kyle Petermeier

Dissertations, Theses, and Projects

The purpose of this research was to determine whether the flipped classroom can improve the impact on student achievement and increase the enjoyment of math and the attitude toward its’ instruction. The study aims to look at younger students to see if the flipped classroom can make a positive impact in the classroom. Quantitative and qualitative data was used to determine a positive, negative, or null impact on math instruction. Quantitative data includes chapter tests, while qualitative data includes a survey about the feeling towards math. The data indicated that the flipped classroom can have a positive impact on math …

Dataset For Flow Presence And Groundwater Fluxes At Murphy Creek, Southwest Idaho, Sara R. Warix, Sarah E. Godsey, Kathleen A. Lohse, Rebecca L. Hale

Reynolds Creek Critical Zone Observatory Data

Non-perennial streams comprise over half of the global stream network and impact downstream water quality. Stream drying occurs when groundwater is the primary flow source, but the dynamic relationship between spatiotemporal stream drying patterns, shallow groundwater inputs, and topographic controls remains poorly characterized and understood. We measured stream drying patterns at 15-minute intervals at 25 locations in Murphy Creek, part of the larger Reynolds Creek Critical Zone Observatory in southwest Idaho, from June 3 to October 1, 2019. In addition we collected continuous 15-minute, water level and specific conductivity data that was used to estimate discharge and groundwater flux. Discharge …

Cellphone Laws And Teens' Calling While Driving: Analysis Of Repeated Cross-Sectional Surveys In 2013, 2015, 2017, And 2019, Li Li, Caitlin N. Pope, Rebecca R. Andridge, Julie K. Bower, Guoqing Hu, Motao Zhu

Graduate Center for Gerontology Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Distracted driving among teens is a public health and safety concern. Most states in the U.S. have sought to restrict cellphone use while driving by enacting laws. This study examines the difference in prevalence of self-reported calling while driving (CWD) between states with different cellphone bans.

METHODS: Demographics and CWD data were extracted from state Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) from 14 states in 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019. The state YRBS is conducted every 2 years with a representative sample of 9th through 12th grade students attending public school. States were grouped by type of cellphone law(s): no …

Semiotic Aggregation In Deep Learning, Bogdan Muşat, Răzvan Andonie

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Convolutional neural networks utilize a hierarchy of neural network layers. The statistical aspects of information concentration in successive layers can bring an insight into the feature abstraction process. We analyze the saliency maps of these layers from the perspective of semiotics, also known as the study of signs and sign-using behavior. In computational semiotics, this aggregation operation (known as superization) is accompanied by a decrease of spatial entropy: signs are aggregated into supersign. Using spatial entropy, we compute the information content of the saliency maps and study the superization processes which take place between successive layers of the network. In …

Size And Cost Reduction Of The Antenna 3000, Mario Mignott, Austin Deaver, Josh Madaris

Senior Design Project For Engineers

For our senior design project, we have partnered with Compass Technology Group to improve its Antenna 3000 manufacturing process. The Antenna we are working on is not actually called this, but due to NDA regulations, we will disguise it as the Antenna 3000. This will include finding a way to minimize material costs and labor hours involved to assemble this product together. Our minimum success criteria will be to reduce both the manufacturing time and materials' cost by 20%. Our primary approach to solving this problem will be to implement Lean Six Sigma practices such as the DMAIC principle.

Beyond Gatekeeping: Propaganda, Democracy, And The Organization Of Digital Publics, Jennifer Forestal

Political Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

While there is disagreement as to the severity of the digital disinformation problem, scholars and practitioners have largely coalesced around the idea that a new system of safeguards is needed to prevent its spread. By minimizing the role of citizens in managing their own communities, however, I argue that these gatekeeping approaches are undemocratic. To develop a more democratic alternative, I draw from the work of Harold D. Lasswell and John Dewey to argue that we should study the organization of digital publics. For citizens to engage in democratic inquiry, publics must be organized so that they can (1) easily …
