Foreword To Entrepreneurship And Innovation In Evolving Economies: The Role Of Law, Franklin G. Snyder Jul 2012

Foreword To Entrepreneurship And Innovation In Evolving Economies: The Role Of Law, Franklin G. Snyder

Faculty Scholarship

Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Evolving Economies examines the role of law in supporting innovation and entrepreneurship in communities whose economies are in transition. It contains a collection of works from different perspectives and tackles tough questions regarding policy and practice, including how support for entrepreneurship can be translated into policy. Additionally, this collection addresses more concrete questions of practical efficacy, including measures of how successful or unsuccessful legal efforts to incentivize entrepreneurship may be, through intellectual property law and otherwise, and what might define success to begin with.

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to examine the postlecture evaluation by the students taking a course (Tomorrow's Leaders) that attempted to promote their leadership qualities and intrapersonal competencies at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hong Kong. Except for the last lecture, students were invited to respond to a 12-item postlecture questionnaire after each lecture. Results showed that the students had positive perceptions of the subject, class, and teacher attributes, and they had positive global evaluation of the teacher and the subject. The postlecture evaluation questionnaire was found to possess good psychometric properties. Multiple regression analyses showed that subject, …


Channel Catfish Population Dynamics, Abundance Estimates, And Short-Term Trends In The Platte River, Nebraska, Aaron J. Blank Jul 2012

Channel Catfish Population Dynamics, Abundance Estimates, And Short-Term Trends In The Platte River, Nebraska, Aaron J. Blank

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Fishing for channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) is popular in Nebraska and channel catfish are the most sought after fish species in the Platte River. Anglers on the Platte River are also harvest oriented. Little is known about the effects anglers have on channel catfish population dynamics in the lower Platte River. The goal of this study was to determine if there were effects of angling on channel catfish at two high use fishing areas in the lower Platte River. My first objective was to evaluate differences in relative abundance, size structure, condition, age structure, growth, and mortality between …

Two-Photon Absorbing Water-Soluble Fluorescent Probe As A Near-Neutral Ph Indicator, Kevin Belfield, Sheng Yao Jul 2012

Two-Photon Absorbing Water-Soluble Fluorescent Probe As A Near-Neutral Ph Indicator, Kevin Belfield, Sheng Yao

UCF Patents

The dynamics of intracellular pH is believed to be crucial for understanding the regulation mechanism of many physiological functions. Of the several methods avaible to detmermine pH, optical methods have several advantages including rapid response time, high signal-to-noise ratio, noninvasive, and excellent pH sensitivity. Since the first use of trapped intracellular pH probe, 6-carboxyfluorecein, was described by Thomas et al., a large number of pH indicators have been reported. SEE DISCLOSURE

In Vitro In Vivo Methods And Pharmacokinetic Models For Subcutaneously Administered Peptide Drug Products, Amit Somani Jul 2012

In Vitro In Vivo Methods And Pharmacokinetic Models For Subcutaneously Administered Peptide Drug Products, Amit Somani

Theses and Dissertations

Over the last several years, injectable drugs have been a growing area for the treatment of various therapeutic conditions and they are projected to comprise an even larger proportion among the drugs that will be available in the years to come. The injectable drugs are administered by various routes such as intramuscular (IM), intravenous (IV), subcutaneous (SC) and others, however, the majority of these drugs are administered subcutaneously. Even though subcutaneous delivery has been utilized for a number of years, very little is known about the processes governing the absorption of macromolecules from the interstitial space; and the resulting impact …

Image Stitching Approach Using Minimum Average Correlation Energy /Siti Salbiah Samsudin, Samsudin Siti Salbiah

Student Works (2010-2019)

Panorama Image Stitching has been the subject of interest over the decades. A panorama image is the output of blending a set of overlapping images taken at different viewpoints. This process of producing a panorama image is called image stitching, which consists of image registration and image blending. In this thesis, an image stitching method that utilizes Minimum Average Correlation Energy (MACE) filters is used to merge a number of Two sets of analysis were conducted to measure the effectiveness of the proposed method using natural images and radiology medical images. The performance of the proposed method is then compared …

International Law And The Limits Of Macroeconomic Cooperation, Alan O. Sykes, Eric A. Posner Jul 2012

International Law And The Limits Of Macroeconomic Cooperation, Alan O. Sykes, Eric A. Posner

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

The macroeconomic policies of states can produce significant costs and benefits for other states, yet international macroeconomic cooperation has been one of the weakest areas of international law. We ask why states have had such trouble cooperating over macroeconomic issues, when they have been relatively successful at cooperation over other economic matters such as international trade. We argue that although the theoretical benefits of macroeconomic cooperation are real, in practice it is difficult to sustain because optimal cooperative policies are often uncertain and time variant, making it exceedingly difficult to craft clear rules for cooperation in many areas. It is …

Spatial Variability In Levels Of Benzene, Formaldehyde, And Total Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene And Xylenes In New York City: A Land-Use Regression Study, Iyad Kheirbek, Sarah Johnson, Zev Ross, Grant Pezeshki, Kazuhiko Ito, Holger Eisl, Thomas Matte

Publications and Research

Background Hazardous air pollutant exposures are common in urban areas contributing to increased risk of cancer and other adverse health outcomes. While recent analyses indicate that New York City residents experience significantly higher cancer risks attributable to hazardous air pollutant exposures than the United States as a whole, limited data exist to assess intra-urban variability in air toxics exposures. Methods To assess intra-urban spatial variability in exposures to common hazardous air pollutants, street-level air sampling for volatile organic compounds and aldehydes was conducted at 70 sites throughout New York City during the spring of 2011. Land-use regression models were developed …

Relationship Between Total Body Mass, Fat-Free Mass, Fat Mass, And Bone Mineral Density Of The Hip In Middle-Age Women: The Roles Of Diet, Physical Activity, And Menopause, Elizabeth Reid Fosson

Theses and Dissertations

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between hip bone mineral density (BMD), fat free mass (FFM), fat mass (FM), and total body mass (TBM) and the extent to which these relationships were modified by various confounding factors. The cross-sectional analysis included 262 healthy females (mean age 41.6±3.0 years). Methods: BMD of the hip and body composition were assessed by the Hologic 4500W dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) system. Total and intensity of physical activity (PA) were objectively measured using an Actigraph accelerometer. Dietary calcium and vitamin D from food and beverages, as well as from supplements, were …


Spag16 Is A Bifunctional Gene Regulating Male Fertility, David R. Nagarkatti-Gude Jul 2012

Spag16 Is A Bifunctional Gene Regulating Male Fertility, David R. Nagarkatti-Gude

Theses and Dissertations

SPAG16 is the murine orthologue of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii PF20, a protein known to be essential to the structure and function of the “9 + 2” axoneme. The “9 + 2” axoneme provides the cytoskeletal core of all eukaryotic motile cilia and flagella. In Chlamydomonas, the Pf20 gene encodes a single protein present in the central pair of the axoneme. Loss of Pf20 prevents central pair assembly and results in flagellar paralysis. The murine Spag16 gene encodes two proteins. While 71 kDa SPAG16L is found in all murine cells with motile cilia or flagella, 35 kDa SPAG16S transcript and protein are …
