Evaluation Of L- And S-Band Polarimetric Data For Monitoring Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Health In Preparation For Nisar, Michael Battaglia, Laura Bourgeau-Chavez

Michigan Tech Publications

Highlights: What are the main findings? Inundation extent mapping demonstrated high accuracy (79–83%) at C-, S- and L-band areas with limitations related to stand structure and frequency, while du-al-frequency SAR was found to have high accuracy (~92%) for wetland type mapping. Misattribution of dominant double-bounce scatter (characteristic of wetlands) to single-bounce scatter occurs at certain vegetation moisture and SAR geometries for C-, S- and L-band areas. What are the implications of the main findings? Multi-frequency polarimetric SAR provides high-accuracy wetland mapping capabilities, regardless of cloud cover. The misattribution of double-bounce to single-bounce scattering results in errors in wetland extent mapping, …

Identity Styles Moderate The Role Of Insecure Attachment Dimensions On Internalizing Behaviors, Hans Saint-Eloi Cadely, William Vega, Joe F. Pittman, Sue K. Adams

Human Development and Family Science Faculty Publications

The present study examined how identity styles and romantic attachment dimensions predict internalizing problems among 456 college students. Results indicated that the diffuse-avoidant identity style was positively associated with depressive symptoms, whereas the normative identity style was negatively related to generalized anxiety. Anxious attachment was positively related to both internalizing problems, and avoidant attachment was related positively only to depressive symptoms. Interaction results revealed that a stronger diffuse-avoidant identity style strengthened the relationship between anxious attachment and depressive symptoms. A stronger informational identity style led to a significant association between the avoidant dimension and both internalizing behaviors. Lastly, for those …

Defining Endotypes Of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia In Preterm Infants To Improve Precision-Based Therapies., Megha Sharma, Gangaram Akangire, Noah H. Hillman, Winston M. Manimtim, Mark Ivan Attard, Venkatesh Sampath

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains a debilitating disease in premature infants. The chronic pathogenesis of BPD with complex prenatal and postnatal programming challenges attempts at precisely defining or treating disease. While existing BPD definitions categorize disease severity, a lack of consideration of disease heterogeneity and endotypes has contributed to the failure of clinical trials to improve BPD outcomes. Recent studies have used advanced lung imaging techniques, echocardiography, and lung function tests to identify airway, parenchymal, and vascular BPD endotypes. These endotypes carry different prognoses and require endotype-specific treatment strategies to optimize infant outcomes. In this Review, we focus on the pathogenic …

Just Cause Protection Under Manager Discrimination, Joseph Pickens, Aaron Sojourner

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

“Just cause” policies aim to discourage the arbitrary firing of employees. Recent efforts at passing such laws in the U.S. have been motivated by deterring discrimination. This paper presents a framework to study the effects of just cause when managers engage in taste-based discrimination. The framework generates predictions on whether just cause will ease achievement and retention of stable employment by exploiting the timing of separations around a probationary period. Since probationary periods are a typical feature of protections, the approach is generalizable. We test predictions using New York City’s 2021 just cause law for fast-food employees. Using a synthetic …
