K-Means Clustering And Control Analysis Of Main Tunneling Parameters Of Mud-Water Balanced Shields In Water-Rich Round Gravel Strata, Lyu Yiye, Pei Lihua, Lin Dong, Yang Xingyu, Gui Yue

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

It is important to s et rea sonable tunneling parameters according to the ground conditions to reduce the deformation of existing tunnels,since the close crossing of new shield tunnels is likely to cause deformation in the adjacent existing tunnels.The K-means clustering algorithm was proposed to explore the correlation between tunneling parameters and surface settlement,and the optimal number of clusters was selected by using the sum of squared errors (ESSE) to measure the clustering quality.Through cluster analysis on the field monitoring data of the test section,three cluster centers were obtained.Finally,the optimal combination of tunneling parameters for mud-water balanced shield construction in …

Simulation Research On Brt Control Strategies For Intersections And Applicable Conditions, Yang Liu, Liang Mia O, Cao Sen, Li Wenfang Apr 2025

Simulation Research On Brt Control Strategies For Intersections And Applicable Conditions, Yang Liu, Liang Mia O, Cao Sen, Li Wenfang

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The setting of bus rapid transit (BRT ) dedicated lanes at intersections and the priority of BRT fixed signals lead to a decrease in road utilization rate,an increase in CO2 emission,and the deceleration of vehicles at intersections during peak hours.To address these issues,four BRT control strategies for intersections were proposed by changing BRT dedicated lanes into intermittent ones and controlling BRT active signal priority.The study focused on intersections implementing median-road BRT dedicated lanes.Based on the simulation of urban mobility (SUMO ) software and its secondary development interface,this study succeeded in simulating four control strategies by using Python programming language.Through simulation …

Deformation Control Measures For Precast Beam Yard On High Fill Roadbeds Of Highway, Xie Xin, Zhao Jun, Song Zhanping, Guo Wenguang

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In mountainous regions,high fill slopes and bridge structures are common due to topographical limitations,often leading to difficulties in transporting prefabricated bridge components.To address this situation,this paper proposed arranging a sunken precast beam yard on high fill roadbeds.The research analyzed the primary factors of roadbed settlement and deformation,applied multiple deformation control measures to manage the deformation of high fill roadbeds and the precast beam yard,and characterized their deformation through a three-dimensional numerical model analysis.The results show that replacing the lower soil layer with poor physical properties with a filler layer with better physical properties can effectively reduce the uneven settlement of …

Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic Wins Victory For Client Under Convention Against Torture, Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic

Cardozo Law News Archive

The Kathryn O. Greenberg Immigration Justice Clinic at Cardozo School of Law secured a major win for a client facing deportation. Under the supervision of Clinical Teaching Fellow Ellie Norton, students Vasundhra Navjeevan ’25 and Anais Rosenblatt ’25 successfully argued that their client qualified for protection under the Convention Against Torture, preventing his return to a country where he risked severe harm. The students dedicated months of research and advocacy, producing a 50-page brief and representing their client in court, resulting in a decision that adopted many of their arguments.

Department of Nutrition Student Projects

Female collegiate athletes are currently recognized as a high-risk group for developing eating disorders due to performance pressures and unrealistic body standards. Limited studies have analyzed the impact of tailored educational and behavioral interventions on the prevalence of eating disorders among female athletes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). This proposed research will be conducted at Nova Southeastern University to explore how colleges can decrease the cases of eating disorders among female athletes using a multi-component educational intervention. Participants will be screened through the EAT-26 assessment tool and initial BMI measures will be recorded to establish a baseline for …

School of Medicine Publications

Obesity is a major public health crisis associated with high mortality rates. Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) investigating body mass index (BMI) have largely relied on imputed data from European individuals. This study leveraged whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from 88,873 participants from the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program, of which 51% were of non-European population groups. We discovered 18 BMI-associated signals (P <  5 × 10−9), including two secondary signals. Notably, we identified and replicated a novel low-frequency single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in MTMR3 that was common in individuals of African descent. Using a diverse study population, we further identified two novel secondary signals in known BMI loci and pinpointed two likely causal variants in the POC5 and DMD …

Phosphotungstic Acid Staining To Visualize The Vagus Nerve Perineurium Using Micro-Ct, Aniruddha R. Upadhye, Jennifer Coleman, Michael W. Jenkins, David Wilson, Andrew J. Shoffstall Apr 2025

Phosphotungstic Acid Staining To Visualize The Vagus Nerve Perineurium Using Micro-Ct, Aniruddha R. Upadhye, Jennifer Coleman, Michael W. Jenkins, David Wilson, Andrew J. Shoffstall

Faculty Scholarship

Background and Purpose: Peripheral nerve stimulation is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating various disorders, but it is often limited by side effects, highlighting the need for a clear understanding of fascicular and fiber organization to design selective therapies. Micro-CT imaging of contrast-stained nerves enables the visualization of tissue microstructures, such as the fascicular perineurium and vasculature. In this work, we evaluated phosphotungstic acid (PTA) as a contrast agent and assessed its compatibility with downstream histology. Methods: Human vagus nerve samples were collected from three embalmed cadavers and subjected to three different staining methods, followed by …

Infant Survival Instincts, Grace Goebel Apr 2025

Infant Survival Instincts, Grace Goebel

Psychology Student Publications

Infant reflexes are automatic, instinctive responses that infants possess to ensure their best chance to thrive. These reflexes serve as critical steps for survival, emotional regulation, and building blocks for early development. Understanding the role of reflexes in early infant development provides important implications for caregivers, physicians, and child psychologists. Being able to not only recognize but also promote and support these reflexes ensures healthy monitoring and response to support favorable growth and development and the best opportunity for infants and children in the sensorimotor stage to thrive.

Seasonal Affective Disorder In College-Level Students, Kaylee Kirkeby

Psychology Student Publications

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a mood disorder that causes depression in seasonal patterns, with winter being the most common. College students are particularly vulnerable to SAD due to factors like relocation, young age, and high social demand. The symptoms of seasonal effective disorder can be detrimental to a student’s career, and without specific knowledge of the causes and treatments for SAD, it is difficult to control the disorder.
