Elevating The Educational Mission Of "Full-Service" Core Facilities Through Formal Biotechnology Workshops, Emily Ricco, Stacy Nguyen, Victoria Rodriguez, Kieu Pham, Esmanur Tokcan, Sherita Love, Alana Newell, Daniel C Kraushaar

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Core facility laboratories are an essential part of the successful research enterprise of many universities around the world. Core facilities provide state-of-the-art instrumentation and technologies to support research of all faculty, postdocs, and students on a fee-for-service basis. Academic next-generation sequencing cores are typically "full service" facilities, and access to and training on their instrumentation is limited to core staff. To address these limitations, we provided graduate students with technical training at our core facility. We developed a 1-week noncredit-bearing workshop and recruited 6 graduate students (N = 6) as part of a pilot program. The program involved online teaching, …

Music Reading For Students With Learning Disabilities, Elizabeth Morrow

SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

As a career cello pedagogue and as a certified dyslexia instructor, I have been sought out by many string teachers for insights into how to help their students who struggle with music reading. Over time, I observed that this was a hidden problem without a research-based solution. To investigate further, I invited a self-selected cohort of string teachers to fill out a survey concerning music reading difficulties in their classrooms or studios. Fifty-two out of fifty-three respondents agreed that they had students in their programs who did not or could not learn to read music within the context of standard …

Earables As Medical Devices: Opportunities And Challenges, Aziz Abdul, Ravi Karkar, Kan Ding, Jay Harvey, Phuc Nguyen

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

The recent advancements in remote healthcare monitoring have revolutionized clinical practices. They provide reliable and affordable solutions to monitor physiological and neural signals in various environments instead of having to rely solely on on-site clinical monitoring in hospitals and medical centers. Wearable devices,particularly earables, computers placed in or around the ear, have gained considerable attention for their convenience, social acceptability, comfort, and minimal disruption to daily activities. The development of earable devices has been propelled through the recent technological advancements in edge and fog computing, battery technology, and energy harvesting methods [11]. Earables allow us to capture important signals from …

Phishing In The Free Waters: A Study Of Phishing Attacks Created Using Free Website Building Services, Sayak Saha Roy, Karanjit Unique, Shirin Nilizadeh

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Free Website Building services (FWBs) provide individuals with a cost-effective and convenient way to create a website without requiring advanced technical knowledge or coding skills. However, malicious actors often abuse these services to host phishing websites. In this work, we propose FreePhish, a scalable framework to continuously identify phishing websites that are created using FWBs. Using FreePhish, we were able to detect and characterize more than 31.4K phishing URLs that were created using 17 unique free website builder services and shared on Twitter and Facebook over a period of six months. We find that FWBs provide attackers with several features …

User Disengagement-Oriented Target Enforcement For Multi-Tenant Database Systems, Li Ning, Hao Che, Wang Zhijun, Minh Q. Nguyen, Todd Rosenkrantz

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Unexpected long query latency of a database system can cause domino effects on all the upstream services and severely degrade end users’ experience with unpredicted long waits, resulting in an increasing number of users disengaged with the services and thus leading to a high user disengagement ratio (UDR). A high UDR usually translates to reduced revenue for service providers. This paper proposes UTSLO, a UDR-oriented SLO guaranteed system, which enables a database system to support multi-tenant UDR targets in a cost-effective fashion through UDR-oriented capacity planning and dynamic UDR target enforcement. The former aims to estimate the feasibility of UDR …

Hawks And Doves: Perceptions And Reality Of Faculty Evaluations, Jillian Zavodnick, Jonathan Doroshow, Sarah Rosenberg, Joshua Banks, Benjamin E. Leiby, Nina Mingioni

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVES: Internal medicine clerkship grades are important for residency selection, but inconsistencies between evaluator ratings threaten their ability to accurately represent student performance and perceived fairness. Clerkship grading committees are recommended as best practice, but the mechanisms by which they promote accuracy and fairness are not certain. The ability of a committee to reliably assess and account for grading stringency of individual evaluators has not been previously studied.

METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of evaluations completed by faculty considered to be stringent, lenient, or neutral graders by members of a grading committee of a single medical college. Faculty evaluations …

Audience Engagement Techniques In Oral Presentations, Daniel Usera

SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Public speaking is often conceptualized as a one-way monologue performed by a speaker for a listening audience. This monologic approach faces challenges and limited results as demonstrated by the education literature on active learning. In response to this research, this practitioner article explores the nature and effective execution of five universal Audience Engagement Techniques that provide opportunities for a speaker to turn their passively listening audience into active participants in a dialogue. Practical and theoretical implications of Audience Engagement Techniques generally are also discussed.

Expert Knowledge-Aware Image Difference Graph Representation Learning For Difference-Aware Medical Visual Question Answering, Xinyue Hu, Lin Gu, An Qiyuan, Mengliang Zhang, Liu Liangchen, Kobayashi Kazuma, Harada Tatsuya, M. Ronald Summers, Yingying Zhu

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

To contribute to automating the medical vision-language model, we propose a novel Chest-Xray Difference Visual Question Answering (VQA) task. Given a pair of main and reference images, this task attempts to answer several questions on both diseases and, more importantly, the differences between them. This is consistent with the radiologist’s diagnosis practice that compares the current image with the reference before concluding the report. We collect a new dataset, namely MIMIC-Diff-VQA, including 700,703 QA pairs from 164,324 pairs of main and reference images. Compared to existing medical VQA datasets, our questions are tailored to the Assessment Diagnosis-Intervention-Evaluation treatment procedure used …

Differences In Faculty Self-Efficacy, Views, And Institutional Support Towards Teaching Competency-Based Education Online: A Non-Experimental, Causal Comparative Study., Randy Gale Canivel

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The purpose of this non-experimental quantitative study is to examine differences in perceived self-efficacy, views, and perceived levels of institutional support among nursing, business administration, or teacher education faculty who teach online competency-based education (CBE). This study employed a causal-comparative design with a sample of 51(N= 51) CBE faculty who teach at colleges and universities in the United States. During the fall semester, the CBE Views and Self-Efficacy survey (CVSE) was distributed measuring perceived self-efficacy of CBE, views on CBE, and perceived levels of institutional support on a Likert-type scale with 42 items divided into four domains. Data analysis was …

Braidflow: A Flow-Annotated Dataset Of Kumihimo Braidmaking Activity, Akib Zaman, Mohammad Abu Nasir Rakib, Shreyosi Endow, Cesar Torres

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Entering a cognitive state of fow is a natural response of the mind that allows people to fully concentrate and cope with tedious, and often repetitive tasks. Understanding how to trigger or sustain fow remains limited by retrospective surveys, presenting a need to better document fow. Through a validation study, we frst establish braidmaking as a fow-inducing task. We then study how braidmaking can be used to unpack the experience of fow on a moment-by-moment basis. Using an instrumented Kumihimo braidmaking tool and of-the-shelf biosignal wristbands, we record the experiences of 24 users engaged in 3 diferent braidmaking tasks. Feature …

Harnessing Large Language Models For Simulink Toolchain Testing And Developing Diverse Open-Source Corpora Of Simulink Models For Metric And Evolution Analysis, Sohil Lal Shrestha

Association of Computing Machinery Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

MATLAB/Simulink is a de-facto standard tool in several safety-critical industries such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial automation for system modeling and analysis, compiling models to code, and deploying code to embedded hardware. On one hand, testing cyber-physical system (CPS) development tools such as MathWorks’ Simulink is important as a bug in the toolchain may propagate to the artifacts they produce. On the other hand, it is equally important to understand modeling practices and model evolution to support engineers and scientists as they are widely used in design, simulation, and verification of CPS models. Existing work in this area is …
