Evolution Of Urbanized Area’S Entities And Flow Space Towards High-Quality Development Path In China, Mingxing Chen, Liangkan Chen, Yue Xian, Jiafan Cheng, Longwu Liang, Jing Ma

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

The eco-environmental conservation and Beautiful China have entered the critical phase. Urbanized areas serve as important spatial carriers in the Beautiful China initiative scenarios, but the most prominent challenges in human-environment relationship and difficult points in building Beautiful China. This study focuses on the physical urban area, and utilizing big data technology to reexamine the spatiotemporal distribution and grouped evolution characteristics of impervious surface in cities, as well as the structural features of urban flow networks from space of flows. Moreover, preliminary thoughts and policy recommendations are provided for promoting high-quality development in urbanized areas of the new era. More …

A Dynamic Duo: Investigating The Interactions Between Xanthomonas Citri Pv. Malvacearum And Pseudomonas Syringae, Taylor Harris

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Bacterial pathogens threaten crop production worldwide, which highlights the need to understand plant and pathogen interactions. Studies on plant-pathogen interactions typically focus on a single host and pathogen. However, bacteria exist in complex microbial communities, not alone. There are few studies that examine the mechanisms behind multi-pathogen infections which renders a gap in our understanding of the subsequent implications on agriculture. In this dissertation, I use in vitro plate assays with RNA-sequencing and in planta assays to investigate the interactions between two cotton bacterial pathogens, Xanthomonas citri pv. malvaearum (Xcm) and Pseudomonas syringae (Ps). In vitro plate assays demonstrate that …

Discerning The Roles Of Novel Glycosyltransferases In The Pathogenic Yeast Cryptococcus Neoformans, Liza Loza

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for over 112,000 deaths each year. This yeast is ubiquitous in the environment, where it is particularly associated with soil, trees, and bird excreta. When a susceptible host inhales infectious particles, Cn can proliferate in the lungs before disseminating to the brain to cause an often-fatal meningoencephalitis. Cryptococcosis primarily afflicts those living with uncontrolled HIV/AIDS, accounting for ~15% of AIDS-related mortality. The antifungals available to treat this devastating disease are few in number, toxic to patients, and largely inaccessible in resource-limited settings. The major virulence factor of Cn is its complex …

The Faculty-To-Faculty Mentorship Experience: A Survey On Challenges And Recommendations For Improvements, Sarvenaz Sarabipour, Natalie M Niemi, Steven J Burgess, Christopher T Smith, Alexandre W Bisson Filho, Ahmed Ibrahim, Kelly Clark

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Faculty at research institutions play a central role in advancing knowledge and careers, as well as promoting the well-being of students and colleagues in research environments. Mentorship from experienced peers has been touted as critical for enabling these myriad roles to allow faculty development, career progression, and satisfaction. However, there is little information available on who supports faculty and best ways to structure a faculty mentorship programme for early- and mid-career academics. In the interest of advocating for increased and enhanced faculty mentoring and mentoring programmes, we surveyed faculty around the world to gather data on whether and how they …

Crossing Riverborderscapes And A View From In-Between: Passenger Ferries In South West England, Eva Mcgrath, Richard Yarwood, Nichola Harmer

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

This paper explores the everyday experiences of crossing rivers that form local borders. It proposes and utilises the term ‘riverborderscape’ to bring together the particularities, complexities, and creativities associated with these border crossings. The term draws on three areas of scholarship. First, the riverborderscape draws on recent scholarly attention to the materiality, and effects on understanding space and place, of watery environments. Second, the term draws on scholarship from within border studies and cognate disciplines that highlights the border as a liminal space. Third, landscape geographies are used to examine the imagination and performance of crossing riverborderscapes. The paper reports …

Engineering Students Learning Abroad: Experiences Captured Via Longitudinal Video Reflections, Anne Wrobetz, Kirsten A. Davis, Mayra S. Artiles, Homero Murzi

School of Engineering Education Faculty Publications

Contribution: Longitudinal video reflections are a unique approach to assessing student learning in study abroad. This study utilizes this method to understand the experiences of ten engineering students. The results show how their learning experiences changed over time and how the students connected these experiences to culture and engineering. Background: Study abroad research has demonstrated that students learn through a variety of experiences while abroad, but this research has been limited by narrow assessments, limited longitudinal data, and a lack of connection to engineering. This study uses longitudinal video reflections to explore student experiences in study abroad programs in a …

Research Priorities For Children’S Cancer: A James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership In The Uk, Alex Brownsdon, Jonathan Gower, Nigel J Hall, Helen Hartley, Jenni Hatton, Louise Henry, Loveday Langton, Kirsty Maddock, Sonia Malik, Keeley Mcevoy, Jessica Elizabeth Morgan, Helen Morris, Simon Parke, Sue Picton, Rosa Reed-Berendt, Dan Saunders, Andy Stewart, Wendy Tarplee-Morris, Amy Walsh, Anna Watkins, David Weller, Faith Gibson

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

OBJECTIVES: To engage children who have experienced cancer, childhood cancer survivors, their families and professionals to systematically identify and prioritise research questions about childhood cancer to inform the future research agenda.

DESIGN: James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership.

SETTING: UK health service and community.

METHODS: A steering group oversaw the initiative. Potential research questions were collected in an online survey, then checked to ensure they were unanswered. Shortlisting via a second online survey identified the highest priority questions. A parallel process with children was undertaken. A final consensus workshop was held to determine the Top 10 priorities.

PARTICIPANTS: Children and …

Techniques For Feedforward Haptics Used With Wrist-Wearable Devices For Eyes-Free Target Acquisitions In Artificial-Reality Environments, And Systems And Methods Of Use, Yiran Zhao, Tanya Renee Jonker, Hrvoje Benko, Aakar Gupta, Naveen Sendhilnatha

Defensive Publications Series

Feedforward haptic feedback methods are described herein. One example method is performed while an artificial-reality user interface (UI) is presented with a target UI object, a background UI portion, and one other UI object. If a representation of a body part of the user on which the wearable device is worn is within the background UI portion, the method includes providing a first haptic feedback. If the representation of the body part of the user is over the one other UI object, the method further includes providing a second haptic feedback indicating that the representation of the body part is …
