Why The Neurosurgeon Should Apply The Concepts Of Neuroethics In Their Daily Clinical Practice, Miguel Antonio Sandoval Balanzario, Lizbeth Itzel Sandoval Olivares, Noe Santiago Ramírez, Noe Santiago Rea

Archives of Neurosurgery

The human being is a community and social being, thus, he was capable to establish rules and humanize he's environment, allowed by the development of he's intelligence, as well as moral behavior. Nevertheless, morals and ethics have also evolved along the history, allowing the birth of neuroethics in 2002 with the objective to study ethical behavior of neurological research procedures and study ethics from the neuroscientific point.

Capturing Biomarkers Associated With Alzheimer Disease Subtypes Using Data Distribution Characteristics, Kenneth Smith, Sharlee Climer

Computer Science Faculty Works

Late-onset Alzheimer disease (AD) is a highly complex disease with multiple subtypes, as demonstrated by its disparate risk factors, pathological manifestations, and clinical traits. Discovery of biomarkers to diagnose specific AD subtypes is a key step towards understanding biological mechanisms underlying this enigmatic disease, generating candidate drug targets, and selecting participants for drug trials. Popular statistical methods for evaluating candidate biomarkers, fold change (FC) and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), were designed for homogeneous data and we demonstrate the inherent weaknesses of these approaches when used to evaluate subtypes representing less than half of the diseased cases. …

Data-Driven Modeling And Vibration Control Of Rotary Systems, Sina Piramoon

Engineering Ph.D. Theses

This Ph.D. thesis presents an integrated approach to mitigating lateral vibrations in vertical shaft rotary machines during transient responses by combining physics-based and data-driven methodologies. Two primary strategies are explored and validated through experimental studies on a laboratory test rig.

The research introduces a novel method that integrates Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (SINDy) with a physics-based approach to accurately reconstruct the governing nonlinear equations of vertical-shaft rotary machines. An extensive mathematical library supports this reconstruction, which underpins the design of a nonlinear controller using terminal sliding mode control (TSMC). This control technique effectively reduces lateral vibrations, ensuring the …

Additive Energies Of Subsets Of Discrete Cubes, Xuancheng Shao

Mathematics Faculty Publications

For a positive integer n ≥ 2, define tn to be the smallest number such that the additive energy E (A) of any subset A ⊂ {0, 1, · · · , n − 1}d and any d is at most |A|tn . Trivially, we have tn ≤ 3 and tn ≥ 3 − logn 3n3 2n3 + n by considering A = {0, 1, · · · , n − 1}d. In this note, we investigate the behaviour of tn for large n and obtain the following non-trivial bounds: 3 − (1 + on→∞(1)) logn 3√3 4 ≤ tn …

The Effect Of Motivation On Mathematical Achievement, Chad Schlosser

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This paper examines the effect motivation has on mathematical achievement. In the field of education, student engagement in the classroom is an important topic. By incorporating evidence from various studies and meta-analyses, this paper provides evidence of the positive connection between motivation and mathematical achievement. Specifically, this paper explores the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and various strategies to stimulate both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in the classroom, which range from different instructional strategies to motivation strategies teachers can put to use. Factors outside of the classroom, such as parents' involvement and students' own self-efficacy can also play a …

Qualitative And Quantitative Analyses Of A Life Course Framework To Prevent Victimization Recurrence Among Traumatized Homeless Women, Alexandra Schloesser, David Alatorre

Undergraduate Review

The present study examines the effects of services on women that are rendered by a transitional homeless shelter, Ozanam Manor in Phoenix, Arizona. Specifically, the study aimed to ascertain whether these services have yielded discernible improvements in the circumstances of homeless women. Additionally, the study sought to determine whether certain subgroups of homeless women derive greater benefits from the services provided in comparison to others. The study employed a life-course theory to elucidate whether homeless women who have received assistance from the shelter have acquired the skills to effectively navigate and cope with adverse life circumstances, thereby mitigating the risk …

A Limit Order Book Model For High Frequency Trading With Rough Volatility, Yun S. Chen-Shue

Graduate Thesis and Dissertation 2023-2024

We introduce a financial model for limit order book with two main features: First, the limit orders and market orders for the given asset both appear and interact with each other. Second, the high frequency trading (HFT, for short) activities are allowed and described by the scaling limit of nearly-unstable multi-dimensional Hawkes processes with power law decay. The model eventually becomes a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE, for short) with the diffusion coefficient determined by a Volterra integral equation governed by a Hawkes process, whose Hurst exponent is less than 1/2, which makes the volatility path of the stochastic PDE …

Teachers And Technology In The Pacific, Anna Dabrowski, Yung Nietschke, Elizabeth Cassity

International Education Research

Although digital literacy is increasing in the Pacific region, access to educational technologies within the education sector remains inconsistent for both teachers and their students. This report presents an analysis of current practices that support technology integration in the classroom, with a particular focus on the work of teachers in the Pacific Island states of Palau, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. Based on an analysis of academic and grey literature, and interviews with key stakeholders involved in the implementation of educational technologies in the region, several key findings emerge. Education policies and practices designed to improve the digital literacy …

Counting Cusp Forms By Analytic Conductor, Farrell Brumley, Djordje Milićević

Mathematics Faculty Research and Scholarship

Let F be a number field and n > 1 an integer. The universal family is the set F of all unitary cuspidal automorphic representations on GLn over F, ordered by their analytic conductor. We prove an asymptotic for the size of the truncated universal family F(Q) as Q ! 1, under a spherical assumption at the archimedean places when n > 3. We interpret the leading term constant geometrically and conjecturally determine the underlying Sato–Tate measure. Our methods naturally provide uniform Weyl laws with logarithmic savings in the level and strong quantitative bounds on the non-tempered discrete spectrum for GLn.

Prophet Or Loss: Mosiah1/Zeniff, Benjamin/Noah, Mosiah2/Limhi And The Emergence Of The Almas, Val Larsen

Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship

Mormon’s overwhelmingly dominant rhetorical purpose is to testify of Christ, which he and his protagonists often directly do. But he also communicates his testimony more subtly through carefully crafted historical narratives. His use of frame narratives is especially artful. In the Book of Mosiah, Mormon frames the dispiriting account of Zeniff and Noah’s rule with the story of its aftermath: the suffering of Limhi and his people, which is recounted both before and after the central Zeniff/Noah narrative and which underscores the folly in the narrative it frames. The Limhi story is, in turn, framed by a Mosiah family narrative …

Dice Are Blessed Or Cursed, Warren Campbell, Cameron Miller

SEAS Faculty Publications

Dice are cursed or blessed; that is, they roll low or high, but they are never fair. They cannot be manufactured with uniform density and geometric precision. This is particularly true of 20-sided dice or D20s. Faces are smaller than 6-sided dice, and manufacturing tolerances are similar. However, some dice are fairer than others. In our studies of plastic-mold dice about 1 in 4 test fair in 3000 rolls. We have used different statistical tests, including chi-square, modified Kolmogorov Smirnov, and double binomial tests. Of these, the method that consistently performed better is the chi-square goodness of fit test. The …

Barriers To Methadone For Hiv Prevention Among People Who Inject Drugs In Kazakhstan, Amanda Rachel Liberman

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Background: In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, HIV incidence and mortality continue to increase, and this epidemic is concentrated among people who inject drugs (PWID). In Kazakhstan, the prevalence of HIV among PWID is higher than for any other key population. Opioid agonist therapies like methadone are the only evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder and thus are crucial tools for HIV prevention. Though methadone has been provided for free in Kazakhstan since 2008, less than 1% of PWID currently access this service. An intervention to increase methadone scale-up is necessary, and the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) Framework …
