Bridging The Gap: Early Childhood Reading Instruction Grounded In The Science Of Reading, Delilah A. Davis Gonzales, Ingrid Haynes Ph.D.

Journal of Curriculum, Teaching, Learning and Leadership in Education

The Science of Reading (SoR) has become central to literacy research and practice, yet many early childhood classrooms struggle to integrate its principles in developmentally appropriate ways. Recent advances in cognitive science, culturally relevant pedagogy, and digital literacy highlight the need for instructional approaches that bridge research and practice. This manuscript examines how the five core components of reading—phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency—can be meaningfully implemented in early childhood education through structured literacy practices that remain play-based and culturally sustaining. A qualitative, illustrative approach is used, drawing from classroom-based case examples, professional observations, and current research. These examples …

A Hybrid Physics-Constrained Dnn Framework For Long-Term Cumulative Oil Production Forecasting, Mohamed H. Mohamed, Ghazwan N S Jreou

Engineering and Technology Journal

Accurate long-term forecasting of cumulative oil production (Np) is critical for effective reservoir management, reserve estimation, and field development planning. However, existing decline curve analysis (DCA) techniques have limited extrapolation capability, while data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) models tend to produce physically unreasonable cumulative production profiles when extrapolated beyond the data range. Specifically, conventional AI-based forecasting models may display unreasonable long-term forecasting characteristics because of their inability to leverage basic knowledge of reservoir physics. This paper presents a new physics-constrained deep learning model to improve long-term cumulative oil production forecasting and overcome the existing limitations and challenges. The proposed model combines …

Knowledge-Management Collaboration And Labor Brokerage Performance: A Multilevel Study Of Entrepreneurial Market Making, James Downing

Economic and Business Review

Entrepreneurs operating in knowledge-intensive markets will seek to reduce costs with tacit-knowledge-management mechanisms. When seeking a competitive advantage in knowledge-intensive industries, individuals will create value from general market information and engineer the transaction cost for clients. These market-making individuals will operate within a firm to gain benefits from information-sharing collaboration. Firms will make investments in tacit-information sharing to assist individual collaboration, resulting in increased firm performance. The value creation process for knowledge-intensive markets is crafted from general market information. The value appropriation process is unique to knowledge-intensive industries with the engineering of a client’s transaction costs as a competitive advantage. …

Predictive Remediation By Analyzing Influence-Radius Across Generative Workspace Boards, Vishal S Desai, Robert Barton

Defensive Publications Series

Existing network troubleshooting tools typically remediate network issues in a reactive and localized manner, thus generating solutions that lack awareness of other active or historical sessions across the same network.  As a result, multiple users often investigate identical or derivative problems, which leads to inefficient use of operational and computational resources.  To address these challenges, the techniques presented herein implement an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven network troubleshooting system configured to perform context correlation, influence-radius detection, and automatic context-aware predictive remediation with proactive user notifications.

Main-Chain Ion-Pair Polybenzimidazole Membranes Enabling Reduced-Temperature Ht-Pemfc Operation (Down To 120°C), Huina Lin, Brian C. Benicewicz

Faculty Publications

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells are promising for clean and efficient energy conversion across diverse applications. High-temperature PEM fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) using phosphoric acid (PA)-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) can operate up to 200°C, but at lower temperatures, water-induced PA loss often leads to performance degradation and reduced durability. In this work, we present a new class of main-chain ion-pair PBI membranes by integrating the imidazolium-biphosphate ion-pair units directly into the PBI backbone. This design results in membranes with high acid content, stronger acid-polymer interactions and stabilized acid retention. In single-cell tests, the Im⁺-PBI15-3 wt.% exhibits peak power densities …

Factors For Patient Trust And Acceptance Of Medical Artificial Intelligence, Ana Bracic, Kayte Spector-Bagdady, Sophie Towle, Rina Zhang, Cornelius A. James, Nicholson W. Price Ii

Articles

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in clinical care, but widespread adoption requires patient trust. Trust may be enhanced through systemic governance mechanisms or frontline clinicians providing a human in the loop for AI oversight. However, it is unclear how different approaches specifically influence patient trust in the use of medical AI. The objective is to determine the extent to which patient trust in and choice of medical scenarios involving AI are associated with governance mechanisms, clinician presence, performance, and data quality.

Internal Quality Enhancement: Case Of A Uae Business School, Valentine Matthews

International Journal of Applied Management and Technology

This paper presents a case study of a quality enhancement process of a small business school in the United Arab Emirates. The research explores this specific quality enhancement process with a focus on why it is implemented by the case institution and how it achieves quality improvement. The case quality enhancement process is an internal institutional approach that deviates from the Scottish Enhancement-Led Institutional Review approach. Articulation of the process is conducted from policy and practice. The articulation provides deeper and clearer understanding of the approach to quality enhancement, how it achieves quality improvements, and the leadership’s justifications for adopting …

Anhedonia Underlies The Association Between Childhood Unpredictability And Adult Ptsd Symptoms: Evidence From Three Independent Longitudinal Cohorts, Christopher Hunt, Laura M. Glynn, Elysia Poggi Davis, Tallie Z. Baram, Caroline M. Nievergelt, Giovanni Castillo, Christian Cortes, Christine Y. Chang, Dewleen Baker, Victoria B. Risbrough

Psychology Faculty Articles and Research

Background

Unpredictability in the child’s environment has recently emerged as a significant and unique form of early life adversity (ELA). Cross-sectional studies have linked childhood unpredictability with increased post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in adults; however, no prospective studies have tested the link between childhood unpredictability and PTSD risk in later life, nor what processes, such as increased anhedonia symptoms, might mediate such risk. Here, we leveraged three distinct prospective, longitudinal cohorts to test the hypothesis that unpredictability during childhood contributes to adult PTSD via worsening anhedonia symptoms.

Methods

Participants were male service members (n=314), adult females (n=170), and adolescents …

Privacy Preserving Anomaly Detection System For Der Solar Inverters, Tanzim Jim Hassan, Prakash Ranganathan

Graduate Research Achievement Day Posters

Reliable operation of solar inverters depends on maintaining a stable frequency. Recent cyber attacks on solar DERs are concerning and increase the likelihood of such stealthy attacks leading to anomalies in DER. Therefore, a robust anomaly detection system (ADS) is crucial for solar inverters used in distributed energy resources (DERs), enabling timely detection and correction of frequency anomalies. Additionally, preserving data privacy is essential for the security and reliability of the power grid. This paper proposes a privacy-preserving anomaly detection system (PP-ADS) based on a multi-stage hybrid machine learning (MSHML) model specifically designed for solar inverter data in DER environments. …

Interfacial Structural Entropy (Ise): A Statistical Descriptor That Links Distributed Fluid Microstructures And Interfacial Properties, Zhu Jiahua, Mu Liwen, Ji Tuo, Ye Wenkai

University Research

Fluids at the nano/microscopic interface, particularly when influenced by external fields, exhibit significant variations in microstructures, resulting in complex properties that differ markedly from those of single molecules and bulk fluids. The diversity in microstructures leads to unique interfacial transport and reaction phenomena. Notably, the microstructure is a group of molecular clusters with different configurations distributed at the interface in a balanced state, yet the governing factors that determine the cluster structure and their distribution remain to be understood. Herein, we introduce interfacial structural entropy (ISE) as a metric to capture the combined effects of solid surfaces and external fields …
