Public-Private Partnership (P3) Success: Critical Success Factors For Local Government Services And Infrastructure Delivery, Antonio M. Lopez, George M. Marakas

Engaged Management ReView

The Public-Private Partnership (P3) approach is a viable option to address the slow growth and burgeoning need to deliver infrastructure projects and services by state and local governments. This study focuses on identifying critical success factors (CSF) that influence the success of P3s for local government service and infrastructure delivery. A framework is presented for integrating relationship and project management CSFs identified from previous literature into P3s. In addition, public agency entrepreneurial orientation is introduced as a potential CSF – a focus that has been absent in previous P3 CSF literature. To empirically assess the influence of these CSFs on …

Combined Wireless Power Receiver And Capacitive Sensor, Philip Isaacs, Kai Xu, John Stephanou

Defensive Publications Series

Wireless charging receiver coils and specific absorption rate (SAR)/ proximity sensors both require relatively large surface areas to function. In addition, there are limits on the kinds of materials that can be placed around these components. Current implementations for wireless receiver coils and SAR sensors are separate and discrete. In consumer devices such as smartphones and smartglasses, components are tightly packed, such that these sensors fight for space; improving one is to the detriment of the other. This disclosure describes an integrated wireless power receiver and capacitive SAR sensor using two concentric coils in the same area of a flexible …

Defined-Trust Limited Domains, Kathleen Nichols

Defensive Publications Series

Defined-trust Limited Domains are a type of Limited Domain [RFC8799] where the rules specifying the (networked) communication of application information are defined in a communications schema that governs the information communicated in a particular Limited Domain. The schema includes the required format of information and specifies identities and the attributes that are required to legally construct a particular format. Application-local trust management enforces the schema which allows members of the domain to be “definite in what they accept” [LANG] and hence secure the Domain without a physical perimeter. All communications must be signed by a verifiable member identity. The schema …

Augmenting Digital Stethoscopes For Spatial Auscultatory Imaging, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

While digital stethoscopes are easy to use and enable recording the diagnostic signals to external storage, the process of manually choosing the points on the patient’s body at which stethoscope measurements are to be taken is the same for analog and digital stethoscopes. This can be inefficient and suboptimal in terms of acquiring the most suitable and useful auscultatory data. This disclosure describes techniques to augment a digital stethoscope to perform spatial auscultatory imaging via simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques enabled by a camera and inertial measurement unit (IMU) on the digital stethoscope. The SLAM techniques provide the digital …

Wearable Cleaning Robot, Kathleen Bryan

Defensive Publications Series

Clothing stains and spills often go undetected by the wearer of the clothes. A clothing spill usually prompts an urgent trip to swap clothing, which is an inconvenience. This disclosure describes a portable miniature cleaning robot that can detect spills or stains on clothing using computer vision, dispense cleaning fluid, and dry the clothing to remove the stains even as the user continues wearing the clothes. The robot, which is detachable and wearable, can be attached to an article of clothing whenever needed. The robot moves up and down the clothing and detects stains based on discrepancies in color or …

Speech Recognition Customization Based On User Embeddings, Ágoston Weisz, Khalid Salama

Defensive Publications Series

Speech biasing refers to specifying hints to a natural language understanding (NLU) algorithm or otherwise configuring the speech recognizer to interpret an uttered phrase to match the user’s intent. Speech biasing is generally on a per-user basis and does not use other (or similar) user behavior to correct speech recognition errors or predict new phrases. This disclosure describes techniques to augment the set of candidate speech biasing phrases for recognizing the speech of a particular user with phrases fetched from similar users. A collection of users similar to the particular user is identified and corresponding speech biasing phrases are fetched. …

Characterization Of E. Coli Specific, Fhua Dependent Bacteriophage, Colton B. Hansen, Jessica M. Lewis, Kathryn E. Janda, Ian W. Bateman, William R. Mccleary

Library/Life Sciences Undergraduate Poster Competition 2023

The extensive use of antibiotics since their discovery has led to the selection of antibiotic resistant pathogenic strains to become more common. This has increased the interest in bacteriophages to be used to fight these resistant bacteria. In Dr. McCleary's lab we have been investigating the relationship between Escherichia coli and some novel bacteriophage dependent on the ferrochrome hydroxamate transporter FhuA. These iron siderophore transporters allow E. coli to flourish in competitive low iron environments. Using an abundant transport protein such as FhuA likely confers an evolutionary advantage to phage that can target this with their receptor binding protein. This …

Viscoelastic Properties Of Human Facial Skin And Comparisons With Facial Prosthetic Elastomers, Mark W. Beatty, Alvin G. Wee, D. B. Marx, Lauren Ridgway, Bobby Simetich, Thiago Carvalho De Sousa, Kevin Vakilzadian, Joel Schulte

Department of Statistics: Faculty Publications

Prosthesis discomfort and a lack of skin-like quality is a source of patient dissatisfaction with facial prostheses. To engineer skin-like replacements, knowledge of the differences between facial skin properties and those for prosthetic materials is essential. This project measured six viscoelastic properties (percent laxity, stiffness, elastic deformation, creep, absorbed energy, and percent elasticity) at six facial locations with a suction device in a human adult population equally stratified for age, sex, and race. The same properties were measured for eight facial prosthetic elastomers currently available for clinical usage. The results showed that the prosthetic materials were 1.8 to 6.4 times …

Luchas Contra La Matriz Colonial Del Poder: La Liminalidad Del Inmigrante En Axolotl De Julio Cortázar Y Everything, Everywhere All At Once De Daniel Kwan Y Daniel Scheinert., Daniela Hernandez

World Languages and Cultures Senior Capstones

Throughout this essay, immigrant liminality and its connection to Anibal Quijano’s colonial matrix of power is highlighted. Literature and film, such as "Axolotl" and "Everything Everywhere All at Once," illustrate the impact of colonialism on immigrant liminality. Decolonization, anti-colonial thought and culture, can empower marginalized communities by recognizing the ongoing impacts of colonialism. Such representations acknowledge the state of limbo immigrants face, which is disconnected from the mainstream representation of the immigrant experience and the American Dream. By exploring liminality, these representations can help dismantle the colonial matrix of power that shapes how immigrants are perceived in the Western world.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Early Retirements In Law Enforcement, Alecia Ainslie

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Leadership

The American Psychiatric Association defines post-traumatic stress disorder as a psychiatric disorder that may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event such as a natural disaster, a serious accident, a terrorist act, war/combat, or rape or who have been threatened with death, sexual violence, or serious injury (Torres, 2020). Why are law enforcement officers retiring at an alarming rate due to post-traumatic stress disorder? “Law enforcement professionals anticipate and accept the unique dangers and pressures of their chosen profession. However, people under stress find it harder than people not experiencing stress to connect with others and …

Law Enforcement’S Use Of Social Media: It Is More Then Just A Post, Brad Litke

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Leadership

Social media has become a preferred way to communicate for many and can be a look into the user’s personal life. However, law enforcement also knows this. Law enforcement’s use of social media for investigations has been proven to be effective in monitoring gatherings and helping to solve crimes. While legal, law enforcement also has an ethical responsibility to the community and have strong policies in place to prevent misuse of this tool. This is not the only use of social media by law enforcement. Social media is also used to interact with the community. Reviewing the good and bad …

Culture Of Wellness Toward Resiliency, Shelby Stemig

Master of Arts in Criminal Justice Leadership

Stress and burnout are increasingly prevalent amongst law enforcement officers and civilian staff due to job demands and job-related traumas. A culture of wellness planning is how administrations can build resiliency against stress and burnout. A wellness plan should emphasize organizational responsibility, officer responsibility, formal and informal leadership, and external collaborations. Agencies can also utilize the same cognitive behavioral therapies that supervised release agents find beneficial for clients. There are great similarities between the utilization of cognitive behavioral interventions, evidence-based models, and thought behavioral links between supervised release clients and law enforcement staff members. Often, cognitive behavioral therapies are used …

Compendium-Wide Analysis Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Core And Accessory Genes Reveals Transcriptional Patterns Across Strains Pao1 And Pa14., Alexandra J Lee, Georgia Doing, Samuel L Neff, Taylor Reiter, Deborah A Hogan, Casey S Greene

Faculty Research 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes difficult-to-treat infections. Two well-studied divergent P. aeruginosa strain types, PAO1 and PA14, have significant genomic heterogeneity, including diverse accessory genes present in only some strains. Genome content comparisons find core genes that are conserved across both PAO1 and PA14 strains and accessory genes that are present in only a subset of PAO1 and PA14 strains. Here, we use recently assembled transcriptome compendia of publicly available P. aeruginosa RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) samples to create two smaller compendia consisting of only strain PAO1 or strain PA14 samples with each aligned to their cognate reference …
