A Body Without A Soul: Why Print Still Matters In Legal Research, Mari Cheney, Heather Simmons Mar 2023

A Body Without A Soul: Why Print Still Matters In Legal Research, Mari Cheney, Heather Simmons

Articles, Chapters and Online Publications

This article argues that print still has a place in legal research pedagogy and that some materials should still be collected in print in addition to online should the budget allow for it due to five primary reasons: (1) stability of legal information; (2) context; (3) information literacy; (4) algorithm bias; and (5) the discovery of information. Since many law library budgets are shrinking, there are creative ways for online legal publishers to make online material more print-like should libraries be unable to purchase both print and online material.

The Social Environment Alters Neural Responses To A Lipopolysaccharide Challenge, Patricia C. Lopes, Josh J. Faber-Hammond, Chandler Siemonsma, Sachin Patel, Suzy C.P. Renn

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Sick animals display drastic changes in their behavioral patterns, including decreased activity, decreased food and water intake, and decreased interest in social interactions. These behaviors, collectively called “sickness behaviors”, can be socially modulated. For example, when provided with mating opportunities, males of several species show reduced sickness behaviors. While the behavior is known to change, how the social environment affects neural molecular responses to sickness is not known. Here, we used a species, the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata, where males have been shown to decrease sickness behaviors when presented with novel females. Using this paradigm, we obtained samples from …

Molecular And Cellular Level Characterization Of Cytoskeletal Mechanics Using A Quartz Crystal Microbalance, Emily M. Kerivan, Lyle Tobin, Mihir Basil, Dana N. Reinemann Mar 2023

Molecular And Cellular Level Characterization Of Cytoskeletal Mechanics Using A Quartz Crystal Microbalance, Emily M. Kerivan, Lyle Tobin, Mihir Basil, Dana N. Reinemann

Faculty and Student Publications

A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is an instrument that has the ability to measure nanogram-level changes in mass on a quartz sensor and is traditionally used to probe surface interactions and assembly kinetics of synthetic systems. The addition of dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) facilitates the study of viscoelastic systems, such as those relevant to molecular and cellular mechanics. Due to real-time recording of frequency and dissipation changes and single protein-level precision, the QCM-D is effective in interrogating the viscoelastic properties of cell surfaces and in vitro cellular components. However, few studies focus on the application of this instrument to cytoskeletal systems, …

Neural Network Based Adaptive Fractional-Order Backstepping Control Of Uncertain Quadrotors With Unknown Input Delays, Yi Yang, Haiyan Z. Zhang Mar 2023

Neural Network Based Adaptive Fractional-Order Backstepping Control Of Uncertain Quadrotors With Unknown Input Delays, Yi Yang, Haiyan Z. Zhang

Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund

Adaptive control is essential and effective for reliable quadrotor operations in the presence of uncertain modeling parameters and unknown time-delayed inputs. This paper presents an original radial basis function neural network-based adaptive fractional-order backstepping controller (RBF-ADFOBC). The nonlinearity of the time-delayed inputs is eliminated by introducing an augmented state variable via Pade’s approximation method. For each subsystem in the quadrotor dynamics, a companioned second-order compensation system is developed. The candidate Lyapunov functions are then properly designed by incorporating the control errors, parameter uncertainties and estimation errors of the neural networks’ weight vectors. It is shown that the semi-globally uniformly ultimately …

Grounding Qualitative Medical Research In Coherence, Not Standards, Carol Isaac, Linda Behar-Horenstein Mar 2023

Grounding Qualitative Medical Research In Coherence, Not Standards, Carol Isaac, Linda Behar-Horenstein

The Qualitative Report

Qualitative research publications have become more prominent in medical journals. However, in medical discourse, those researchers who are adhere to postpositivist (quantitative) paradigm often criticize diverse qualitative inquiry for a perceived lack of rigor. We suggest that qualitative research, just like quantitative research should be guided by methodological coherence rather than prescriptive standards. Coherence is defined as an alignment between epistemology, theoretical perspective, methodology, methods, and research questions. In the medical field, a lack of training in methodological diversity, a long-held post-positivist privileging, and insufficient methodological dialogue, promulgates reliance on quantitative analyses. Neglecting to articulate sufficient methodological detail has caused …
