S ( M ) Othering: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Republican Motherhood, Caroline King

Theses and Dissertations

This study examines seven Republican rhetors who utilize motherhood as a rhetorical strategy in speeches between the years of 1972 and 2020. Specifically, speeches, newsletters, and debate transcripts are analyzed using four theoretical lenses to curate an archetype of the “Republican Mother” – a concept constructed of an amalgamation of the historic “mother of the republic” from the nation’s conception and the ideological values assigned to women within the Republican party, such as traditional gender and spousal roles. I argue that it is the unique combination of womanhood, motherhood, and Republicanism that creates a unique rhetorical strategy seen in these …

Lrs: Enhancing Adversarial Transferability Through Lipschitz Regularized Surrogate, Tao Wu, Tony Tie Luo, Donald C. Wunsch

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

The Transferability of Adversarial Examples is of Central Importance to Transfer-Based Black-Box Adversarial Attacks. Previous Works for Generating Transferable Adversarial Examples Focus on Attacking Given Pretrained Surrogate Models While the Connections between Surrogate Models and Adversarial Trasferability Have Been overlooked. in This Paper, We Propose Lipschitz Regularized Surrogate (LRS) for Transfer-Based Black-Box Attacks, a Novel Approach that Transforms Surrogate Models towards Favorable Adversarial Transferability. using Such Transformed Surrogate Models, Any Existing Transfer-Based Black-Box Attack Can Run Without Any Change, Yet Achieving Much Better Performance. Specifically, We Impose Lipschitz Regularization on the Loss Landscape of Surrogate Models to Enable a Smoother …

Toward Local Madelung Mechanics In Spacetime, Mordecai Waegell

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

It has recently been shown that relativistic quantum theory leads to a local interpretation of quantum mechanics wherein the universal wavefunction in configuration space is entirely replaced with an ensemble of local fluid equations in spacetime. For want of a fully relativistic quantum fluid treatment, we develop a model using the nonrelativistic Madelung equations, and obtain conditions for them to be local in spacetime. Every particle in the Madelung fluid is equally real, and has a definite position, momentum, kinetic energy, and potential energy. These are obtained by defining quantum momentum and kinetic energy densities for the fluid and separating …

Peer Cybervictimization ( Pcv ) Among University Students In Bangladesh And Institutional Disciplinary Body ( Idb ) Under Routine Activity Theory ( Rat ), Selimul Quader

Theses and Dissertations

Research on cybervictimization of Bangladeshi students is scarce, but the research that does exist suggests a high prevalence of victimization followed by low extent of reporting. None of the extant research exclusively studied peer cybervictimization (PCV) in relation to students’ knowledge of the university authority, hereinafter the institutional disciplinary body or IDB. As per the added propositions of Routine Activity Theory (RAT) (Felson, 1995), the IDB can potentially contribute to guardianship building by alerting students about handlers-managers in the university premises and thereby reduce PCV among students. Thus, the knowledge of (the presence of) the IDB can respond to the …

Asset Pricing Bubbles In Agricultural Commodities, Samuel Riffle

Theses and Dissertations

Recent asset pricing bubble bursts in some markets beg the question of whether bubbles exist in others. Determining whether they exist has been investigated for years, with various approaches. This paper combines the Engle-Granger technique with a GSADF test to test for bubbles in corn and soybean futures prices. I attempt to find measures for the market fundamentals of the futures, employing PPIs and costs of production for each commodity. My findings provide some evidence for the existence of bubbles, though the results are not definitive. Overall, the findings imply a possibility for bubbles but also apossibility of true increases …

Consensus Pharmacophore Strategy For Identifying Novel Sars-Cov-2 Mpro Inhibitors From Large Chemical Libraries, Angel J Ruiz-Moreno, Raziel Cedillo-González, Luis Cordova-Bahena, Zhiqiang An, José L Medina-Franco, Marco A Velasco-Velázquez

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) main Protease (Mpro) is an enzyme that cleaves viral polyproteins translated from the viral genome and is critical for viral replication. Mpro is a target for anti-SARS-CoV-2 drug development, and multiple Mpro crystals complexed with competitive inhibitors have been reported. In this study, we aimed to develop an Mpro consensus pharmacophore as a tool to expand the search for inhibitors. We generated a consensus model by aligning and summarizing pharmacophoric points from 152 bioactive conformers of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibitors. Validation against a library of conformers from a subset of ligands showed that …

Caldera-forming eruptions of silicic volcanic systems are among the most devastating events on Earth. By contrast, post-collapse volcanic activity initiating new caldera cycles is generally considered less hazardous. Formed after Santorini’s latest caldera-forming eruption of ~1600 bce, the Kameni Volcano in the southern Aegean Sea enables the eruptive evolution of a recharging multi-cyclic caldera to be reconstructed. Kameni’s eruptive record has been documented by onshore products and historical descriptions of mainly effusive eruptions dating back to 197 bce. Here we combine high-resolution seismic reflection data with cored lithologies from International Ocean Discovery Program Expedition 398 at four sites to determine …

Investigating Channel Narrowing And Nonnative Vegetation Encroachment In Three Dryland Rivers, Casey Pennock, Benjamin Miller, Phaedra Budy

Browse all Datasets

Water development and the proliferation of invasive riparian vegetation has led to widespread habitat loss and simplification of rivers in the western United States, contributing to the imperilment of native fishes. Here, we quantify channel narrowing and vegetation encroachment, which are conspicuous indicators of riverine habitat degradation, along approximately 400 km of three dryland tributaries of the upper Colorado River. To accomplish this, we conducted a comparative analysis of aerial photographs from historical (1930s) and contemporary (2010s or 2020s) time periods and utilized Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) to determine contemporary canopy cover of …

Mothers With Disabilities As Health Navigators: Narratives Of Pregnancy, Postpartum Depression, And Parenting, Agnes Amoakwa

Theses and Dissertations

Scholars have focused on factors that affect pregnancy decisions, linking it to internal factors such as physical attachment and love towards children and feasibility of external factors, among others, while others have focused on experience with health professionals and accessibility of healthcare facilities and equipment during access to maternal care. While these studies are important, fewer focus has been placed on how women with disabilities navigate the postpartum phase of motherhood and the support needed to navigate through this experience. I employed the communicated narrative sense-making theory to explore the meanings of stories shared by mothers with disabilities about their …

From Eighty Acres And A Mule To Two Thousand Acres And Twenty-Four Row Planters: Anxieties Of Growth In The Agriculture Sector From Family Farms, Riley Marie Francis

Theses and Dissertations

This study investigates the evolution of the family farm between the 1940s until the 2020s, and how the family farm may continue to evolve in future generations. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the changing reality of agriculture and how farmers think about themselves. In the early days of the United States republic, farms were a means of providing a family or localized community with food and resources. These farms participated in an economic exchange that was an early form of capitalism, characterized by meeting needs but not accruing egregious excess. Today’s agricultural system is …

Scriptblock Smuggling: Uncovering Stealthy Evasion Techniques In Powershell And .Net Environments, Anthony J. Rose, Scott R. Graham, Christine M. Schubert, Jacob Krasnov, Wayne C. Henry

Faculty Publications

The Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) plays a crucial role in detecting malware within Windows operating systems. This paper presents ScriptBlock Smuggling, a novel evasion and log spoofing technique exploiting PowerShell and .NET environments to circumvent the AMSI. By focusing on the manipulation of ScriptBlocks within the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), this method creates dual AST representations, one for compiler execution and another for antivirus and log analysis, enabling the evasion of AMSI detection and challenging traditional memory patching bypass methods. This research provides a detailed analysis of PowerShell’s ScriptBlock creation and its inherent security features and pinpoints critical limitations in …

What Time Is It? It Is 8-And-A-1/2 Time. A Rare Case About Right Medial Pontine Stroke, Right Ino, Right Facial Colliculus Ischemic Stroke Consistent With Eight-And-A-Half Syndrome., Jessica Marcela Daza, Eunbee Cho, Celia Patricia Daza, Shakirat Ganiyu, Francisco Gomez

Research Symposium

Eight-and-a-half syndrome (EHS) is a rare neuro-ophthalmologic condition characterized by conjugated horizontal gaze palsy, internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO), and ipsilateral fascicular seventh cranial nerve palsy. Clinical features are attributed to the involvement of the lower pontine, including the abducens nucleus, ipsilateral medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), and adjacent facial colliculus. Etiology includes vascular diseases such as pontine infarction or ischemia, demyelinating conditions at the level of the pons, and rarely space-occupying lesions.

Too Yellow: An Idiopathic Case Of Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia, Shreel Patel, Kashif Ali, Donnel Dockery-Joseph, Eunbee Cho, Sriharsha Koneru, Taha Al Hassan, Aramide Tijani, Elimar Gonzalez Morales

Research Symposium

Background: Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is caused by autoantibodies that react with self red blood cells and cause them to be destroyed. Warm AIHA, due to antibodies that are active at body temperature, is the most common type of the AIHA. It is mostly caused by the underlying disease like infections, autoimmune disorders, lymphoproliferative disorders, immunodeficiency or physiologic state like pregnancy. Rarely it happens that there is no underlying cause. Therefore, here we present a case of idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia without any underlying cause.

Case Discussion: A 77 year old lady with known history of the diabetes mellitus type 2, …

Developmental Differences In Reported Speech And Internal State Language In Preschoolers’ Personal Narratives, Megan E. Welliver, Alice J. Davidson, Alexandra Mccrary

Faculty Publications

The present study explored developmental differences in preschoolers’ use of reported speech and internal state language in personal narratives. Three-, four-, and five-year-olds attending a laboratory preschool shared 204 stories about ‘a time when you were happy/sad’. Stories were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded for reported speech (direct, indirect, narrativized) and internal state language (cognitive states, total emotion terms, unique emotion terms). Personal narratives told by five-year-olds included more cognitive states and more narrativized speech than those told by three- and four-year-olds, even when accounting for children’s vocabulary skills, and that reported speech (narrativized, direct) were positively correlated with cognitive state …
