Boosting Confidence In Kindergarten Writing: How To Assist Kindergarten Emergent Writers Through Developmentally Appropriate Practices In Phonics And Writing, Amy Martin Jul 2023

Boosting Confidence In Kindergarten Writing: How To Assist Kindergarten Emergent Writers Through Developmentally Appropriate Practices In Phonics And Writing, Amy Martin

Masters Projects

For a kindergarten student, writing can be exhausting and difficult. For a kindergarten student, writing can also be imaginative and fun. Kindergarten students have a lot of stories to tell and words to write, they just need tools in their toolbox in order to do so. Writing, especially in the younger grade levels, often takes a back seat to other subjects. Unfortunately, this leaves many words unwritten, skills unpracticed, and minds unimaginative. This project aims to create a resource for teachers to use within their designated writing time specifically focusing on developmentally appropriate practices and pulling from the intertwined skillset …

Recent Progress Of Bifunctional Electrocatalysts For Oxygen Electrodes In Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cells, Tian-Long Zheng, Ming-Yu Ou, Song Xu, Xin-Biao Mao, Shi-Yi Wang, Qing-Gang He

Journal of Electrochemistry

Unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs), which oxidize hydrogen to water to generate electrical power under thefuel cells (FCs) mode and electrolyze water to hydrogen under the water electrolysis (WE) mode for recycling, areknown as clean and sustainable energy conversion devices. In contrast to the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) andhydrogen evolution reaction (HER) on the hydrogen electrode side, the sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the oxygen electrode side requires highly efficient bifunctional oxygencatalysts. Conventional precious metal oxygen catalysts combine Pt and IrO2 with excellent ORR and OER activities toachieve bifunctional electrocatalysis performance, but …

Ultramicroelectrode Experiments: Principles, Fabrications And Voltmmetric Behaviors, Zhen Ma, Jia-Yang Lin, Wen-Jing Nan, Lian-Huan Han, Dong-Ping Zhan

Journal of Electrochemistry

Due to the small size at least in one dimension (< 25 μm), ultramicroelectrode (UME) has small electric-double-layer capacitance, low IR drop, rapid mass transfer rate, fast response, high signal/noise ratio and high spatiotenporal resolution. UME is qualified not only to study the kinetics of fast electrode processes, but also to act as the probe of scanning electrochemical microscopies to obtain the localized chemical or electrochemical reactivity of the substrates. Thus, UMEs play a significant role in various research domains of electrochemistry, and have become an important electrochemical experimental method. Herein, we will introduce the basic principles, a simple fabrication method and voltammetric experimental protocols of UME, providing a guide to carry out the UME experiments.


Band Alignments Of Metal/Oxides-Water Interfaces Using Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics, Yong-Bin Zhuang, Jun Cheng Jul 2023

Band Alignments Of Metal/Oxides-Water Interfaces Using Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics, Yong-Bin Zhuang, Jun Cheng

Journal of Electrochemistry

Band alignments of electrode-water interfaces are of crucial importance for understanding electrochemical interfaces. In the scenario of electrocatalysis, applied potentials are equivalent to the Fermi levels of metals in the electrochemical cells; in the scenario of photo(electro)catalysis, semiconducting oxides under illumination have chemical reactivities toward redox reactions if the redox potentials of the reactions straddle the conduction band minimums (CBMs) or valence band maximums (VBMs) of the oxides. Computational band alignments allow us to obtain the Fermi level of metals, as well as the CBM and VBM of semiconducting oxides with respect to reference electrodes. In this tutorial, we describe …

Subunit Gating Resulting From Individual Protonation Events In Kir2 Channels, Grigory Maksaev, Michael Bründl-Jirout, Anna Stary-Weinzinger, Eva-Maria Zangerl-Plessl, Sun-Joo Lee, Colin G Nichols Jul 2023

Subunit Gating Resulting From Individual Protonation Events In Kir2 Channels, Grigory Maksaev, Michael Bründl-Jirout, Anna Stary-Weinzinger, Eva-Maria Zangerl-Plessl, Sun-Joo Lee, Colin G Nichols

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels open at the 'helix bundle crossing' (HBC), formed by the M2 helices at the cytoplasmic end of the transmembrane pore. Introduced negative charges at the HBC (G178D) in Kir2.2 channels forces opening, allowing pore wetting and free movement of permeant ions between the cytoplasm and the inner cavity. Single-channel recordings reveal striking, pH-dependent, subconductance behaviors in G178D (or G178E and equivalent Kir2.1[G177E]) mutant channels, with well-resolved non-cooperative subconductance levels. Decreasing cytoplasmic pH shifts the probability towards lower conductance levels. Molecular dynamics simulations show how protonation of Kir2.2[G178D], or the D173 pore-lining residues, changes solvation, K

The East India Company: Motives And Rivalries 1075- 1225 Ah /1664 – 1810 Ad, Abdulla Ali Al- Khalifa Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

France was one of the colonial European powers that gave priority to bolstering its own military might to vie with other European powers for the bounties of the East. It sent its naval fleets to the archipelago of the Indies to monopolize the spice trade and plunder the enormous wealth there. The ambitious French presence, along with military forces, in the East was conducive to the establishment of the East India Company with the sole aim of monopolizing the trade of spices and products of Asian countries in general.   France also sought to expand to new areas in the far …


The Prevalence Of Diabetes In Juveniles, Tatyana Johnson Jul 2023

The Prevalence Of Diabetes In Juveniles, Tatyana Johnson

Graduate Student Dissertations, Theses, Capstones, and Portfolios

Diabetes mellitus, simply known as diabetes, is a metabolic disorder that impacts how the body makes use of glucose or blood sugar. Glucose is the primary supply of energy for the body’s cells, which is controlled by insulin, a pancreatic hormone. Diabetes results in high blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which are caused by either insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or ineffective insulin utilization by the body (Dean & McEntyre, 2004). Although there are several types of diabetes, the two main types are type 1 and type 2. Type 1, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an inflammatory condition in …

Can Investor Communications Discipline Corporate Misconduct? Evidence From A Field Experiment, Chen Xu Jul 2023

Can Investor Communications Discipline Corporate Misconduct? Evidence From A Field Experiment, Chen Xu

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

Corporate misconduct encompasses deceptive or fraudulent activities carried out by company members. Such misconduct can distort the accuracy of firm valuations and mislead investors. Researchers and regulators have worked diligently to understand the factors driving corporate misconduct and devise strategies to reduce its prevalence. However, causal evidence remains limited. In this study, we conduct a field experiment to address this issue and investigate potential methods for mitigating corporate misconduct. Recent studies have emphasized the role of investor communications in governance, as they improve transparency and decrease information asymmetry between managers and investors. This study investigates the disciplinary power of two …


Neutral Theory And Beyond: A Systematic Review Of Molecular Evolution Education, Desiree Forsythe, Jeremy L. Hsu Jul 2023

Neutral Theory And Beyond: A Systematic Review Of Molecular Evolution Education, Desiree Forsythe, Jeremy L. Hsu

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Molecular evolution—including the neutral theory of molecular evolution—is a major sub-discipline of evolution and is widely taught in undergraduate evolution courses. However, despite its ubiquity, there have not been any previous attempts to compile and review the molecular evolution education literature. Here, we draw upon the framework proposed in a past literature review examining the broader evolution education landscape to conduct a literature review of papers related to molecular evolution education, classifying the contributions of such papers to evolution pedagogy as well as evolution education research. We find that there remains very limited coverage of molecular evolution in the education …


Language And The Mind: How Language Shapes Our Thinking, Xiaodi Zhou Jul 2023

Language And The Mind: How Language Shapes Our Thinking, Xiaodi Zhou

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications

This paper analyzes languages and their connections to thinking and culture using an autoethnographic lens. This autoethnography utilized personal examples and those from the author’s students’ compositions as evidence of the link between languages and cultures. Both named languages and dialects of those languages are contemplated for the basis of how their traits influence perceptions. A neuroscientific rationale is also made between human languages and human cultures. The link between culture and language, including dialects, is made, positioning the act of translanguaging as real time dialogue between cultures. Finally, classroom implications are presented with actual student writing and multimodal performances …


Biotic Interactions And The Maintenance Of Biodiversity Across A Tropical Elevational Gradient, David Henderson Jul 2023

Biotic Interactions And The Maintenance Of Biodiversity Across A Tropical Elevational Gradient, David Henderson

Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations

A major goal of community ecology is to elucidate the processes that create patterns of biodiversity. Specifically, the discipline focuses on the processes that influence community assembly, diversity gradients, and/or species coexistence. Coexistence mechanisms have been traditionally thought of in terms of resource competition, whereby species are able to coexist by having different niche requirements, both biotic and abiotic, that maximize their fitness. Much of the previous work in this arena focused on the abiotic factors that influence species coexistence. However, many of the seminal ideas about the forces that drive abundance and coexistence patterns hypothesized that it was differences …


The Interpretation Of Ibn Jeni Towards The Misunderstanding Of Sibawayh Utterances Jul 2023

The Interpretation Of Ibn Jeni Towards The Misunderstanding Of Sibawayh Utterances

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

Abn Jeni had efforts to explain and interpret Sibawayh book (Alketab), although he did not specify a book for that, but they were scattered throughout his books. Those interpretations and explanations were a clear evidence of his realization of Sibawayh decent position and importance of his book. Abn Jeni aimed to repel the wrong understanding of Sibawayh words or carrying his opinion in a way other than what was intended and this what the research tried to prove by studying morphological and syntactical issues in which Abn Jeni explained Sibawayh purpose and his opinion and invalidated every other opinion that …

Propagation Of Spatiotemporal Optical Vortex Beams In Linear, Second-Order Dispersive Media, Milo W. Hyde Iv, Miguel A. Porras Jul 2023

Propagation Of Spatiotemporal Optical Vortex Beams In Linear, Second-Order Dispersive Media, Milo W. Hyde Iv, Miguel A. Porras

Faculty Publications

In this paper, we study the behaviors of spatiotemporal optical vortex (STOV) beams propagating in linear dispersive media. Starting with the Fresnel diffraction integral, we derive a closed-form expression for the STOV field at any propagation distance z in a general second-order dispersive medium. We compare our general result to special cases published in the literature and examine the characteristics of higher-order STOV beams propagating in dispersive materials by varying parameters of the medium and source-plane STOV field. We validate our analysis by comparing theoretical predictions to numerical computations of a higher-order STOV beam propagating through fused silica, where we …


Quantum Stirling Heat Engine Operating In Finite Time, Debmalya Das, George Thomas, Andrew N. Jordan Jul 2023

Quantum Stirling Heat Engine Operating In Finite Time, Debmalya Das, George Thomas, Andrew N. Jordan

Mathematics, Physics, and Computer Science Faculty Articles and Research

In a quantum Stirling heat engine, the heat exchanged with two thermal baths is partly utilized for performing work by redistributing the energy levels of the working substance. We analyze the thermodynamics of a quantum Stirling engine operating in finite time. We develop a model in which a time-dependent potential barrier changes the energy-level structure of the working substance. The process takes place under a constant interaction with the thermal bath. We further show that in the limit of slow operation of the cycle and low temperature, the efficiency of such an engine approaches Carnot efficiency. We also show that …


Forms Of Exaggerated Trust In Grammar Lesson (An Objective Study), Abdul Momen Mahmoud Mohamed Dr. Jul 2023

Forms Of Exaggerated Trust In Grammar Lesson (An Objective Study), Abdul Momen Mahmoud Mohamed Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

The research tackles the phenomenon of exaggerated trust in some exemplars, how to contend it, and its impact on judgments and weighing statements. This impact reflected on adding a conjugation, inflexion, unique hearing, narration with which the exemplar is proven, acceptance of simulated exemplar or said by an anonymous scholar, or a scholar who confines trust only to his exemplars rather than others, or considering the use of grammatical exceptions as acceptable, and correct alternatives (standardizing the exceptions). His plan is included right after the introduction and before the conclusion, in the preface; It is about the exaggerated trust and …


Rhetorical Simile Using Arabic Superlative Adjectives In The Holy Quran, Reem Zaid Al-Qahiz Dr. Jul 2023

Rhetorical Simile Using Arabic Superlative Adjectives In The Holy Quran, Reem Zaid Al-Qahiz Dr.

Journal of Arabic Sciences and Humanities

Emphasis is one of the common figures of speech in the Holy Quran; where it is usually used figuratively in order to create and assert meaning by comparing one thing to another thing. This rhetorical simile emphasizes the meaning intended and creates vivid pictures in the mind of the reader/listener, which increases the effectiveness of the figurative language used. In this study, the researcher examined a number of Quran verses that included examples of rhetorical simile, expressed using Arabic superlative adjectives. The effect created by rhetorical simile is that it gradually enhances the figurative picture painted to reach the climax …
