Biochar Source And Rate Effects On Soil Ph And Water-Soluble Nutrients Over Time In Simulated Furrow-Irrigated Rice In The Greenhouse, Jonathan Brye, Lauren Gwaltney, Diego Della Lunga, Kristofor Brye

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Biochar is the by-product of burning vegetative dry matter and can positively impact soil properties as an organic soil amendment, leading to biochar’s increased use in agroecosystems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of biochar source [i.e., an Arkansas (AR) and Colorado (CO) biochar] and rate (i.e., 0, 2.5, and 5 Mg ha ^-1 ) on soil pH and water-soluble (WS) soil phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and sulfur (S) concentrations in simulated-furrow-irrigated rice ( Oryza sativa ) on a silt-loam soil (Typic Albaqualf) in the greenhouse. Soil pH differed among …

Sex Influences Of Age Of Onset And Duration Of Illness On Patterns Of Cortical Thickness In Individuals With Schizophrenia, Rachael Olivia Slate

Theses and Dissertations

Given that the manifestation of schizophrenia varies by sex, it is hypothesized that the interaction between diagnosis and sex significantly influences brain structure and is believed to be a crucial factor in understanding the neurobiology of schizophrenia. While much is known about cortical thickness mapping of the condition, there is currently no work that has assessed how changes to the cortical mantle relate to important clinical features of schizophrenia that vary by sex, such as age of illness onset (AOO) or duration of illness (DOI). This study utilized a sex-wise approach to examining cortical thickness alterations in men and women …

Documentation Of Norm Negotiation In A Secondary Mathematics Classroom, Michelle R. Bagley

Theses and Dissertations

While previous mathematics education research has shown that norms can change in mathematics classrooms, little research has closely documented the struggles, concessions, and compromises involved in the negotiation process. Negotiating norms is a complex process entailing deliberate teacher moves intended to promote norms, often met with misunderstandings or resistance from students. This thesis documented the negotiation process that occurred when a teacher attempted to require conceptual explanations from students who had not previously been accustomed to doing so. I recorded six days of instruction in a 9th grade algebra unit, transcribed the class discussions, and inferred norms "at play" for …

Experiencing Gospel: Luther, Men, Women, And Children Around The Table In Reformation And Contemporary Eras; A Tribute To Gordon Jensen, Karen Kuhnert

Consensus

Building primarily on Gordon A. Jensen’s text Experiencing Gospel: The History and Creativity of Martin Luther’s 1534 Bible Project (2023) and the work of Kirsi I. Stjerna et. al in Women Reformers of Early Modern Europe: Profiles, Texts, and Contexts (2022), this essay demonstrates that the theological legacies of knowable Reformation era men, women, and children (in their own cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts) can be recognized as having crossed the Atlantic with explorers, settlers, and pioneers and that these theological legacies continue to shape North American religious-cultural contexts today. The combined depth and quality of the cited research from …

Vaccine Value Profile For Hookworm, Martin Grobusch, Rick Maizels, James Mccarthy, Bruce Lee, Erika Gaspari, David Diemert, Peter Hotez

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Hookworm, a parasitic infection, retains a considerable burden of disease, affecting the most underprivileged segments of the general population in endemic countries and remains one of the leading causes of mild to severe anemia in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs), particularly in pregnancy and children under 5. Despite repeated large scale Preventive Chemotherapy (PC) interventions since more than 3 decades, there is broad consensus among scholars that elimination targets set in the newly launched NTD roadmap will require additional tools and interventions. Development of a vaccine could constitute a promising expansion of the existing arsenal against hookworm. Therefore, we …

Workplace Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion In The Retention Of Faculty Women Of Color In Science, Technology, Engineering, And Mathematics, Sherri Reese

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Gender discrimination and the underrepresentation of women of color in faculty positions in higher education institutions, especially in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) departments, is a research and policy problem. Despite efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in higher education workplaces, women of color remain largely underrepresented among STEM faculty. Informed by Adams’s equity theory, Tajfel’s social identity theory of organizational commitment, and Bell’s critical race theory, the purpose of this quantitative cross-sectional study was to examine the relationship between diversity and organizational commitment and inclusion and organizational commitment among faculty women of color. Survey data were collected …

Latinos' Intimate Partner Violence, Abuse, And Interventions: Developing A Latcrit Analysis And Critique, Adrian Luis Manriquez, Eric S. Mankowski

Psychology Faculty Publications and Presentations

The paper utilizes LatCrit and critical psychology perspectives in order to review and critique the literature on Latinos' intimate partner violence and abuse and intervention programs. LatCrit theories are described and reviewed, and then applied to the literature on IPV predictors among Latinos. The review demonstrates that the research literature on the predictors, correlates, and antecedents of Latino males' IPV behaviors focuses largely on the individual level of analysis, and consequently suffers from three main limitations: use of deficit models in research; decontextualized assessment and evaluations of IPV; neglect of higher levels of analysis influencing IPV in Latinx communities. Implications …

Cross-Modality Synthesis Of T1c Mri From Non-Contrast Images Using Gans: Implications For Brain Tumor Research, Mehnaz Tabassum, Priyanka Rana, Eric Suero Molina, Antonio Di Ieva, Sidong Liu

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revolutionized medical diagnostics by providing a multifaceted view of the human body’s intricate structures and pathologies. With its different sequences, MRI offers comprehensive information about the structure and function of the brain, providing valuable clues in neuro-oncology. However, post-contrast (gadolinium) T1 sequences (T1c) MRI, which offers unparalleled detail in blood-brain barrier disruption, is sometimes inaccessible due to logistical and clinical constraints (e.g., costs, pregnancy, allergic reaction to the agent, etc.). Our study aims to address this issue by synthesizing T1c MRI images using generative AI methodologies. We have expanded on existing Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) …

An Expert System On Flimsy Foundations: Teaching Expertise And The Early Career Framework, Jim Hordern, Katherine Evans, Pete Kelly, Nick Pratt

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

The paper seeks to identify how teacher expertise is implicitly and explicitly conceptualised in current English education policy in respect of the professional development of teachers. We focus specifically on conceptualisations of expertise in the Early Career Framework (ECF), both in terms of the policy documentation produced by the Department for Education and in terms of a selection of publicly available materials produced by the lead providers of the ECF. We aim to locate these conceptualisations in terms of broader sociological and philosophical debates about the nature of expertise and its relationship to professional work, in addition to recent research …

The Arbitrariness Of Symmetry In Mathematical Proofs, Melisa Vivanco

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Symmetry is not an inherent characteristic of mathematical proofs; instead, it is a property that arbitrarily manifests in different modes of presentation. This arbitrariness leads to the conclusion that symmetry cannot be part of the defining or essential properties that characterize proofs. Consequently, contrary to some authors’ claims, symmetry does not significantly contribute to the validity, accuracy, or soundness of mathematical proofs. What is more, it does not even play any critical role in heuristic aspects such as explanatory power. The examples developed in this paper constitute compelling evidence supporting these claims.

The Potential Influence Of Immune Modulatory Molecules (Tgf-Βiii And Ctla-4) In Pathogenicity Of Pcos, Mustafa Riyadh Abdullah, Hazima Mossa Alabassi

Karbala International Journal of Modern Science

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterised by chronic anovulation, hyperandrogenism, polycystic ovaries, and immunological dysregulation. Immune homeostasis and inflammation management require immune functions. T-regulatory cells (Tregs) regulate PCOS's immune system, inflammation, insulin resistance, ovarian function, and homeostasis. Transforming growth factor βIII (TGF-βIII) and Cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte-associated-protein-4 (CTLA-4) receptors on the surfaces of Treg cells are important for controlling the immune system. The study included 68 PCOS patients and 22 non-PCOS women controls aged 20–45. The waist-hip ratio (WHR) determines obesity. We evaluated serum levels and gene expression of TGF-βIII and CTLA-4 via ELISA and real-time PCR. Women with PCOS had significantly higher …
