The Digital Divide And Single-Gender Undergraduate Education In The Uae, Gilles Doiron

All Works

Research on gender differences in perceived ICT competency, frequency of its use and attitudes over its value in higher education, while not conclusive, has indicated that males and females differ in areas of competency and frequency of use, and that females tend to feel more insecure than males in their perceived competency. However, since most of these studies were conducted in co-educational settings, single-gender tertiary education settings need to be explored for evidence of this "gender digital divide". Zayed University has campuses in both Abu Dhabi and the Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and is gender segregated for the undergraduate population. …

Oscillometric Measurement Of Systolic And Diastolic Blood Pressures Validated In A Physiologic Mathematical Model, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Publications

Background

The oscillometric method of measuring blood pressure with an automated cuff yields valid estimates of mean pressure but questionable estimates of systolic and diastolic pressures. Existing algorithms are sensitive to differences in pulse pressure and artery stiffness. Some are closely guarded trade secrets. Accurate extraction of systolic and diastolic pressures from the envelope of cuff pressure oscillations remains an open problem in biomedical engineering.

Methods

A new analysis of relevant anatomy, physiology and physics reveals the mechanisms underlying the production of cuff pressure oscillations as well as a way to extract systolic and diastolic pressures from the envelope of …

Validation Of The Vivago Wrist-Worn Accelerometer In The Assessment Of Physical Activity, Jérémy Vanhelst, Rémy Hurdiel, Jacques Mikulovic, Gilles Bui-Xuân, Paul Fardy, Denis Theunynck, Laurent Béghin

Publications and Research

Background Most accelerometers are worn around the waist (hip or lower back) to assess habitual physical activity. Wrist-worn accelerometers may be an alternative to the waist-worn monitors and may improve compliance in studies with prolonged wear. The aim of this study was to validate the Vivago® Wrist-Worn Accelerometer at various intensities of physical activity (PA) in adults. Methods Twenty-one healthy adults aged 20–34 years were recruited for the study. Accelerometer data and oxygen uptake (VO2) were measured at sedentary, light, moderate and vigorous levels of PA. Results Activity categories and accelerometer counts were: sedentary, 0–15 counts·min−1; light, 16–40 counts·min−1; moderate, …

An Evaluation Of Rapid Response Team Impact, Jessylen Age

DNP and Student Works

Rapid response teams (RRTs) are widely implemented in hospitals today. Little research exists in the use of RRTs in the pediatric population (Chan et al., 2010; Pringle et al., 2011; Winberg et al., 2008). Regardless of these findings, children experiencing acute clinical deterioration receive highly specialized monitoring, equipment, medications and trained staff to manage the clinical instability.

This research using a retrospective, pre- and post-intervention, descriptive design determined the pediatric rapid response team (PRRT) role in reducing code events and mortality in pediatric patients outside the ICU in an academic setting. The number of pediatric code events and PRRT events …

Winthrop Again Selected As Best In The Southeast By Princeton Review, Winthrop University

Winthrop News 2012

• Winthrop is one of 136 institutions that Princeton Review recommends online at "2013 Best Colleges: Region by Region," that posted this week on the company’s website.
• Winthrop is described as “a public university, which is reflected in its diverse student body, but it has a private university feel in terms of the small size of classes, the caliber of the faculty, and the beauty of the campus.”
• Winthrop has been included in the Princeton Review rankings every year since the publication began in 2003.

Features Of Greek Satyr Play As A Guide To Interpretation For Plato's "Republic", Noel B. Reynolds

Faculty Publications

The paper borrows from recent work by classicists on satyr play and demonstrates significant parallels between Plato’s Republic and the structure, theme, and stereotypical contents that characterize this newly studied genre of ancient Greek drama. Like satyr play, the Republic includes repeated passages where metatheatricality can reverse the meaning. The frequent occurrence of all the stereotypical elements of satyr play in Plato’s Republic also suggests to readers that they should be responding to Socrates’s narration as they would to a satyr play, again reversing meaning by communicating a set of literary expectations to Plato’s readers over the heads of Socrates’s …

Disgruntled Employee Retaliation: Does The Employer Have Responsibility?, Robert C. Schwab, Susan M. Taylor

Faculty Publications

CASE DESCRIPTION: This short case focuses on harassment and intimidation problems faced by a manager and his family shortly after an employee has been terminated. Whether the departed employee is the intimidator, whether the employer is obligated to investigate and get involved in the matter, and which options or possible actions the manager and his family can take are the key issues in the case. The case has a difficulty level of four, and is best-suited for use in junior or senior undergraduate-level courses in human resource management or employment law. This case can be presented and discussed in about …

Adaptive Dynamic Programming-Based State Quantized Networked Control System Without Value And/Or Policy Iterations, Qiming Zhao, Hao Xu, S. Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

In this paper, the Bellman equation is used to solve the stochastic optimal control of unknown linear discrete-time system with communication imperfections including random delays, packet losses and quantization. a dynamic quantizer for the sensor measurements is proposed which essentially provides system states to the controller. to eliminate the effect of the quantization error, the dynamics of the quantization error bound and an update law for tuning its range are derived. Subsequently, by using adaptive dynamic programming technique, the infinite horizon optimal regulation of the uncertain NCS is solved in a forward-in-time manner without using value and/or policy iterations by …

A Decentralized Fault Detection And Prediction Scheme For Nonlinear Interconnected Continuous-Time Systems, Hasan Ferdowsi, Deepthi L. Raja, S. Jagannathan

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Complex nonlinear systems such as an aircraft, trains, automobiles, power plants and chemical plants are represented as nonlinear interconnected subsystems. Therefore, in this paper a novel decentralized fault diagnosis and prognosis (FDP) methodology is proposed for such large-scale systems. Current FDP approaches require the knowledge of the entire state or its estimated vector. But the main goal in this work is to design a local fault detector (LFD) or observer for each subsystem based on the measured local states of the subsystem alone. a local residual signal is generated via the measured states of the local subsystem and the estimated …
