The Nature Of The Heisenberg-Von Neumann Cut: Enhanced Orthodox Interpretation Of Quantum Mechanics, Ashok Narasimhan, Deepak Chopra, Menas Kafatos

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

We examine the issue of the Heisenberg-von Neumann cut in light of recent interpretations of quantum eraser experiments which indicate the possibility of a universal Observer outside space-time at an information level of existence. The delayed-choice aspects of observation, measurement, the role of the observer, and information in the quantum framework of the universe are discussed. While traditional double-slit experiments are usually interpreted as indicating that the collapse of the wave function involves choices by an individual observer in space-time, the extension to quantum eraser experiments brings in some additional subtle aspects relating to the role of observation and what …

Adaptive Workflow Design Based On Blockchain, Daniel Narh Treku, Jun Sun

Information Systems Faculty Publications

Increasingly, organizational processes have become more complex. There is a need for the design of workflows to focus on how organizations adapt to emergent processes while balancing the need for decentralization and centralization goal. The advancement in new technologies especially blockchain provides organizations with the opportunity to achieve the goal. Using blockchain technology (i.e. smart contract and blocks of specified consensus for deferred action), we leverage the theory of deferred action and a coordination framework to conceptually design a workflow management system that addresses organizational emergence (e-WfMS). Our artifact helps managers to predict and store the impact of deferred actions. …

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

The oral application of probiotics in the poultry industry is time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, using a powdered probiotic supplement that can easily mix with feed is important. We investigated the effect of spray drying encapsulation on the viability of indigenous probiotic lactic acid bacteria during production and storage and evaluated broiler chicken performance after providing the supplement. Encapsulated probiotics exhibited >80% survival rates after spray drying. All bacterial species maintained up to 80% cell viability rates after exposure to 80–85°C temperatures for 15 or 30 s. The viable cell number of all encapsulated bacteria decreased over seven weeks of storage. …

Gamma Radiography Testing Of Collimators For Boron Neutron Capture Therapy, Simangunsong Deo Clinton Maranatha, Sardjono Yohannes, Setyahandana Budi, Santosa Sigit, Nurjaman Fajar

ASEAN Journal on Science and Technology for Development

Boron neutron cancer therapy is a cancer treatment method that encompasses epithermal neutron irradiation of boron delivered to tumor cells. Using collimators, fast neutrons are moderated into epithermal neutrons. When radiation is performed, neutron beams are emitted and filtered by a collimator. In this study, 12 collimators used in the BNCT process were inspected for their quality, in terms of defects or flaws. The inspected collimators were manufactured by centrifugal casting and were composed of 99% pure nickel. They had the following dimensions: height of 145 mm, outer diameter of 190 mm, inner diameter of 160 mm, and thickness of …

The Patient-Physician Relationship: Overcoming Language And Cultural Barriers, Corrilynn Lynch

Senior Honors Theses

The patient-physician relationship governs the field of medicine, forming the basis for all relationships, interactions, and procedures in medicine. The degree to which a patient trusts his physician and thus is willing to be receptive to medical advice and adhere to assigned treatment is dependent on the quality of his relationship with his physician. The method of relationship chosen will dictate how the patient feels he is perceived and thus to what extend he will participate in his healthcare. A patient-centered approach to medicine will increase this confidence and lead to improved clinical results. Additionally, the rise of physician burnout …

Using Institutional Repositories To Promote Scholarly Development And Undergraduate Research, Mary George, Kayla Siddell

Southern Miss Institutional Repository Conference

Employers have long been discouraged by the number of undergraduate students graduating without being adequately prepared to achieve their professional goals such as a career or graduate school. Hands-on experiences along with research and scholarship opportunities contribute to scholarly development and can increase an undergraduate student’s career options and will better prepare them for graduate school. Many students struggle with scholarly development, viewing their work as homework rather than scholarship and often do not view themselves as scholars. Providing preservation and access of undergraduate work in an institutional repository can help to alleviate these problem by archiving and promoting student …

When They Won't Submit: Leveraging Faculty Relationships To Increase Ir Submissions, Susan Elkins, Ashley B. Crane

Southern Miss Institutional Repository Conference

Given the failure of the ‘build it and authors will submit’ model to increase holdings in an institutional repository (IR), many IR staff have been forced to consider other methods to obtain submissions. In this session, librarians from Sam Houston State University will expose how they leveraged librarian relationships with faculty to encourage participation, via submission of articles and other scholarly material, in the IR. Through the combination of a targeted personal approach, facilitated by subject liaison librarians, and mediated submission, by the IR librarian, the breadth and depth of the IR, ScholarlyWorks@SHSU, is incrementally increasing. Participants will have the …

“Doing My Own Thing”: How First-Generation College Students Communicate Their College Experience With Their Parents, Cristina Cirelli

Creative Activity and Research Day - CARD

The purpose of this qualitative study was to achieve an in-depth understanding of how first-generation college students communicate their college experience with their parents. This phenomenological study recruited participants through convenience sampling from a private university located in Northern California. Six participants were each interviewed for 30-minutes in a neutral setting and a semi-structured interview guide was used to ask open-ended questions about their experience. The results found that students prioritize what they want to discuss with their parents, and the more interest parents express, the more likely the students are to provide detailed information about their experience. However, when …

Classifying Generalized Symmetric Spaces For Unipotent And Semisimple Elements In So(3,P), Hanson Hao, Jake Sutter

IMSAloquium Student Investigation Showcase

In this project, we look at the Special Orthogonal group of 3x3 matrices over a finite field, denoted SO(3,p). In particular, we focus on classifying the generalized symmetric spaces, which are defined by an involution f:SO3,pSO3,p such that ffM=M

for these matrices. We begin by explaining what types of involutions exist for our group, and once those involutions are established, we classify two important spaces: the Extended Symmetric Space R and the General Symmetric Space Q. We describe these spaces for the two isomorphy classes of involutions (building off of Benim et al.) through counting arguments, in which we split …

Using Initial State Radiation (Isr) Jets For Susy Search, Emily Sallenback, Bert Cao

IMSAloquium Student Investigation Showcase

To search for the hypothesized SUSY particles, physicists have to create algorithms or cuts to separate signals from the unwanted background events. Cuts are easy to apply to a dataset, but are not always very efficient at selecting the signal being analyzed. In this study, we analyzed the plausibility and effectiveness of using ISR jet pseudorapidity and ISR jet Pt cuts on the T2tt signal sample from the CMS detector to separate the signal from the background. After graphing the Pt and pseudorapidity per event graphs, we concluded that an ISR jet Pt cut would be an effective cut, but …

Crispr Knockout Of The Dub Otud6b In Lung Cancer Cells, Nayonika Roy, Miriam Franks, Suhitha Irukulla

IMSAloquium Student Investigation Showcase

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are crucial determinants of protein stability, localization, complex formation and activity within cells (1). The OTUD6B DUB has been previously linked to cell growth and proliferation (2). More specifically, the isoform OTUD6B-2 may promote protein synthesis and DNA synthesis through deubiquitination of c-Myc (2). We established OTUD6B-knockout A549 and H1299 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines to determine how OTUD6B contributes to the malignant potential of cancer. To delete OTUD6B expression, we utilized clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technology, using short RNA guides to direct an endonuclease (Cas9) to specific sites on genomic DNA (3). …

The Pathological Interaction Between Alzheimer’S Disease And Osteoporosis In 5xfad Model, Shruti Shakthivel

IMSAloquium Student Investigation Showcase

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Osteoporosis are common degenerative diseases of aging. AD has been considered a risk for osteoporosis and previous studies have shown that patients with AD have an increased risk for hip fractures which are the result of osteoporosis, suggesting a link between reduced bone mass and AD. This experiment studied the 5xFAD mouse model which recapitulates many AD-related phenotypes. The objective was to compare the bone mass of 5xFAD mice with AD-like phenotypes to mice without AD. The results demonstrate that 5xFAD mice have a progressive loss of bone mass as they age. Although previous papers have …
