A Review Of “Compromising Scholarship: Religious And Political Bias In American Higher Education", Ken Badley Jul 2012

A Review Of “Compromising Scholarship: Religious And Political Bias In American Higher Education", Ken Badley

Faculty Publications - College of Education

In Compromising Scholarship, Yancey argues that politically conservative persons, religiously conservative persons, and especially politically, religiously conservative persons face a disadvantage when seeking either employment or a fair hearing in the contemporary American academy, especially in the social sciences and humanities. Several times while reading this book, I recalled a job interview of my own at a university in Canada. One interviewer asked whether my religious convictions might undermine my ability to teach courses in a program that prepared teachers for service in Saskatchewan’s public schools. I noted that, while the question was illegal under Canada’s Charter of Rights and …

The Impact Of Students' Academic And Social Relationships On College Student Persistence, Lindsay K. Wayt Jul 2012

The Impact Of Students' Academic And Social Relationships On College Student Persistence, Lindsay K. Wayt

Department of Educational Administration: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

The purpose of this research study was to determine the connection between students’ relationships and their choice to persist at a post-secondary institution. Although other literature has centered around why students chose to leave an institution or the importance of student involvement and engagement, this study focused on who is most influential in encouraging students to work toward their degree attainment. The study includes results of the influence of peers, family, college faculty, and college student affairs staff on student persistence decisions. This research sought to make a contribution to the literature on retention and attrition issues at colleges and …

A Study Of A Thirteenth-Century Vernacular Moralized Bible: Vienna 2554 And Its Royal Audience, Jessica Wright Jul 2012

A Study Of A Thirteenth-Century Vernacular Moralized Bible: Vienna 2554 And Its Royal Audience, Jessica Wright

Theses and Dissertations

Codex Vindobonensis 2554, Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (hereafter labeled Vienna 2554) is the only thirteenth-century moralized bible written in vernacular French and was intended for a royal audience. This bible provides a moralizing gloss on contemporary political and religious issues by juxtaposing scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Placing the manuscript in the historical context of Blanche of Castile's regency and her desire to instill devout faith in her young son, Louis IX of France, the manuscript serves as a mirror that reflects contemporary relations between church and state. Moreover, the illuminated depictions of kingship of this medieval bible are …

Energetic Costs Of Thermoregulation And Population Life-History Characterization In Eastern Collared Lizards, Casey Lee Brewster Jul 2012

Energetic Costs Of Thermoregulation And Population Life-History Characterization In Eastern Collared Lizards, Casey Lee Brewster

Theses and Dissertations

Thermoregulation theory makes distinct predictions as to the optimal level of thermoregulation when the costs associated with the thermal habitat are less favorable. I designed a manipulative experiment to test the hypothesis that thermal constraints reduce growth rates in hatchling-collared lizards by imposing high and low cost thermoregulation treatments. Lizards thermoregulated similarly between treatments, but grew more slowly in the high cost thermoregulation treatment. My results suggest that the decrement to growth in the high cost treatment is primarily the result of energy diverted from growth to locomotion shuttling between suitable micro- habitats. I combined this experiment with a field …

Writing Across The Curriculum: A Study Of Possibilities For Ualr, Mia Phillips Jul 2012

Writing Across The Curriculum: A Study Of Possibilities For Ualr, Mia Phillips

Theses and Dissertations

This study seeks to determine the feasibility of implementing writing across the curriculum (WAC) at UALR. For the purposes of this study, WAC will be defined as a methodology of instruction for undergraduate students attending a college or university that emphasizes writing in any discipline or major offered at that university. In other words, writing assignments and activities occur in classes that typically do not focus on writing like English and writing courses typically do. By utilizing a survey of best practices at four other universities, as well as a survey of attitudes of UALR faculty, this paper will provide …

Seniors And Social Networking: A Class To Connect Family And Friends, Catherine A. Chatelain Jul 2012

Seniors And Social Networking: A Class To Connect Family And Friends, Catherine A. Chatelain

Theses and Dissertations

One of the most important life stages that senior citizens experience is the need to share the legacy of their lives with others. While many senior citizens are able to share these with family members, many others do not have the opportunity or the people to share this important time in their lives with. This project was designed with both of these groups in mind in an attempt to connect seniors with others through the social networking site, Facebook. The element of writing was also adopted into the project as a means to get seniors to reflect on their lives …

Users' Preference For And Perception Of Animated Pedagogical Agents, Kyle Randall Cheney Jul 2012

Users' Preference For And Perception Of Animated Pedagogical Agents, Kyle Randall Cheney

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This thesis investigated the effect that ethnicity and gender of animated pedagogical agents (APAs) has on preference and perception by participatns. It was hypothosized that participants would choose to work with and give more favorable ratings to those agents who most resemble themselves. Ratings of four professor agents, an African American male and female and a Caucasian male and female, were collected from 120 workers on Mechanical Turk, an online crowd sourcing marketplace. Ethnicity and gender of the agents were externally validated before use in the study. Results indicated that users did not prefer agents who were indentical to themselves. …

The Fly Way, Daniel Moran, John Moya, Ruben Hernandez, Amaury F. Perez Jul 2012

The Fly Way, Daniel Moran, John Moya, Ruben Hernandez, Amaury F. Perez

COURI Symposium Abstracts, Summer 2012

This project is related to the way a common house fly’s eye works. Dr. Moya has received a patent that helps mimic the way the ommatidia(compound eye of the fly) processes and “pinpoints” the location of a given image / object. It is on the basis of this patent that his graduate students Ruben Hernandez and Amauri Perez have improved the programming of the algorithm that shows that an object can be effectively be detected by a camera interfaced with these programs. Potential applications include but are not limited to security (both public and private), robotic assisted surgical procedures/treatments, gaming…etc. …

Selection Of Critical Design Parameters For Mmod Protection In Interplanetary Missions, Lisa M. Haisan, Cesar Carrasco Jul 2012

Selection Of Critical Design Parameters For Mmod Protection In Interplanetary Missions, Lisa M. Haisan, Cesar Carrasco

COURI Symposium Abstracts, Summer 2012

This research presents a methodology for the selection of critical design-parameters for the design of Micro Meteoroid and Orbital Debris (MMOD) spacecraft protection based on a modified implementation of the concept of the Probability of No Impact (PNI). The PNI methodology, based on Poisson’s discrete statistics, has been widely used to determine critical particle sizes for the design of protection systems. However, it does not provide guidelines for the selection of the design impact speed, especially when the impact speed has a very wide statistical distribution like that encountered in interplanetary missions. The modifications to the PNI methodology presented here …

Validation Of Interaction Between The Glyt2 And The Nsf, David Quispe Escudero, Hector Cuevas, Luciana Girotto Gentil, Manuel Miranda Jul 2012

Validation Of Interaction Between The Glyt2 And The Nsf, David Quispe Escudero, Hector Cuevas, Luciana Girotto Gentil, Manuel Miranda

COURI Symposium Abstracts, Summer 2012

The Glycine Transporter 2 (GlyT2) is a presynaptic membrane transporter in charge of re-uptake of glycine from the synaptic cleft back into the presynaptic neuron. GlyT2 is present only in vertebrate neurons and possesses a 200 amino- acid long N-terminal tail of unknown function. We hypothesize that such domain serve as a docking site for a network of presynaptic proteins, such as NSF that plays a pivotal role during vesicle transport. Therefore, our goal in this project is to analyze protein-protein interaction between GlyT2 and NSF. We have used co-immunoprecipitation experiments from rat brainstem with GlyT2 and NSF antibodies as …
