Volusia County, Fl Mental Health And Substance Use Disorder Treatment Gap Analysis, Amy Donley Phd, Jacquelyn Reiss, Caroline Austin

Institute for Social and Behavioral Science (ISBS)

The University of Central Florida's Institute for Social and Behavioral Science (ISBS) partnered with Volusia County to undertake a gap analysis focused on mental health and substance use disorder treatment. Specifically, we designed a study to determine the capacity of treatment options, identify barriers to seeking treatment, and illuminate what works particularly well. The gap analysis results can guide future decisions on allocating resources best to ensure that treatment is accessible to all in need.

Legal Geographies, Caroline Griffith, Sarah Klosterkamp, Alida Cantor, Austin Kocher

Geography Faculty Publications and Presentations

This encyclopedia entry defines and discusses legal geography. Legal geography is an interdisciplinary area of scholarship that focuses on the intersections and co-constitution between law and space and place: that is, how law and legal processes produce space/place, and how particular places in turn influence law. Rather than thinking of law as an abstract, universal, a-spatial set of rules, legal geography examines the ways in which law is situated in place, and how places are shaped by legal practices and processes.

Provision Of Helpful Review Videos: Effects Of Video Characteristics On Perceived Helpfulness, Kyungmin Park, Stephanie Lee, Shahryar Doosti, Yong Tan

Business Faculty Articles and Research

With the rapid growth and popularity of YouTube, an increasing number of consumers rely on online product review videos to obtain product-related information. As the provision of online review videos grows and consumers increasingly rely on them for their purchase decisions, understanding factors that contribute to the perceived helpfulness of video reviews becomes critical for video review management. This paper examines how various visual and vocal characteristics of online review videos are associated with the perceived helpfulness of videos. We collect detailed observational data on 13,840 electronic product review videos posted on YouTube and employ video content analysis, speech recognition, …

Simplified Demonstration Of A New Perivascular Pump Mechanism For Glymphatic Flow Of Interstitial Fluid In The Brain, Charles F. Babbs

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers

In a previous paper the author presented details of a new mechanism for the perivascular pump driving glymphatic flow—the brain’s waste removal system. The goal was to capture the essence of complex three-dimensional anatomy and physiology of the brain in a reduced order geometric model. The complexity required to make the model even approximately brain-like tended to obscure the most basic features of the perivascular pump. Here a bare-bones, “simplissimo” model of the perivascular pump is presented. It highlights only the most essential features of the pump mechanism. It also reveals components of brain anatomy and physiology that are not …

A Robust Stepwise Clustering Approach To Detect Individual Trees In Temperate Hardwood Plantations Using Airborne Lidar Data, Gang Shao, Songlin Fei, Guofan Shao

Purdue University Libraries Open Access Publishing Fund

Precise tree inventory plays a critical role in sustainable forest planting, restoration, and management. LiDAR-based individual tree detection algorithms often focus on finding individual treetops to discern tree positions. However, deliquescent tree forms (broad, flattened crowns) in deciduous forests can make these algorithms ineffective. In this study, we propose a stepwise tree detection approach, by first identifying individual trees using horizontal point density and then analyzing their vertical structure profiles. We first project LiDAR data onto a 2D horizontal plane and apply mean shift clustering to generate candidate tree clusters. Next, we apply a series of structure analyses on the …

Legal Strategies To Minimize Subway Air Pollution In The United States, Maia Foster

Duke Law Journal

Air pollution in U.S. subway systems poses a major threat to public health. People in subway stations breathe in dangerously high levels of dusts, called particulate matter. Current legislation does not effectively address this problem; in fact, the United States does not have a comprehensive indoor air quality law at all. Left unregulated, people regularly exposed to subway air pollution could suffer respiratory and cardiovascular issues and even premature death.

To mitigate these health effects, some countries have imposed PM standards in subway systems and underground spaces. Others have standards covering all indoor spaces. In the United States, many subway …

Standardized Exclusion: A Theory Of Barrier Lock-In, Andrew Tisinger

Duke Law Journal

The United States has relaxed antitrust scrutiny of private standard-setting organizations in recognition of their potential procompetitive benefits. In the meantime, however, the growing importance of network industries—and the coinciding move toward vendor-led standards consortia—has welcomed new, insidious anticompetitive risks. This Note proffers one such risk: barrier lock-in. A theory of barrier lock-in recognizes that dominant vendors can capture and control standards consortia to keep standardized equipment complex and costly. These practices are exclusionary. This Note situates barrier lock-in within the existing antitrust literature and jurisprudence, provides a potential example of barrier lock-in in the 5G network equipment standardization process, …

All Decisions

The court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the landlord's nonpayment petition. Although the petition alleged the existence of a lease agreement which the tenant defaulted on, it was established during the proceeding that no written lease existed between the parties. The court found that without a lease agreement, the landlord was prohibited from commencing the nonpayment proceeding under RPAPL 711(2). The landlord's argument that it did not need to offer a lease unless the tenant requested one also failed, as the tenant and his counsel both requested a written lease which the landlord did not rebut or provide evidence …

Dose And Route Of Administration Determine The Efficacy Of Prophylactic Immunotherapy For Peanut Allergy In A Brown Norway Rat Model, Tiffany Kirkaldy Spaanager Sztuk, Neil Marcus Rigby, Lasse Nørskov-Nielsen, Stef J. Koppelman, Ana Isabel Sancho, Niels-Peter Hell Knudsen, Justin Marsh, Philip Johnson, Shashank Gupta, Alan Robert Mackie, Jeppe Madura Larsen, Katrine Lindholm Bøgh

Department of Food Science and Technology: Faculty Publications

Introduction: Allergen-specific immunotherapy (IT) is emerging as a viable option for treatment of peanut allergy. Yet, prophylactic IT remains unexplored despite early introduction of peanut in infancy was shown to prevent allergy. There is a need to understand how allergens interact with the immune system depending on the route of administration, and how different dosages of allergen may protect from sensitisation and a clinical active allergy. Here we compared peanut allergen delivery via the oral, sublingual (SL), intragastric (IG) and subcutaneous (SC) routes for the prevention of peanut allergy in Brown Norway (BN) rats.

Methods: BN rats were …

Deeptype: A Deep Neural Network Approach To Keyboard-Free Typing, Joshua V. Broekhuijsen

Theses and Dissertations

Textual data entry is an increasingly-important part of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), but there is room for improvement in this domain. First, the keyboard -- a foundational text-entry device -- presents ergonomic challenges in terms of comfort and accuracy for even well-trained typists. Second, touch-screen smartphones -- some of the most ubiquitous mobile devices -- lack the physical space required to implement a full-size physical keyboard, and settle for a reduced input that can be slow and inaccurate. This thesis proposes and examines "DeepType" to begin addressing both of these problems in the form of a fully-virtual keyboard, realized through a …

Neutrosophic Critic Mcdm Methodology For Ranking Factors And Needs Of Customers In Product's Target Demographic In Virtual Reality Metaverse, Ahmed Sleem, Nehal Mostafa, Ibrahim Elhenawy

Neutrosophic Systems with Applications

Affective design has come to place a premium on customer-centric creativity, which ultimately results in the creation of a product tailored to the requirements of a certain demographic. Designing a fresh and original item that appeals to clients remains challenging, despite the abundance of literature on customer-centric creativity and impact product design. This is so because optimizing technological and aesthetical design aspects and variables for a group of consumers is highly complicated, and for the same reasons that it is hard to know a customer's choice, enable the product's functioning, etc. One of the most important parts of creating cutting-edge …
