Does Central Executive Training And/Or Inhibitory Control Training Improve Emotion Regulation For Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder? A Randomized Controlled Trial, Nicole B. Groves, Elizabeth S.M. Chan, Carolyn L. Marsh, Fatou Gaye, Emma M. Jaisle, Michael J. Kofler

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Introduction: Approximately 48–54% of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have impairing difficulties with emotion regulation, and these difficulties are not ameliorated by first-line ADHD treatments. Working memory and inhibitory control represent promising intervention targets given their functional, if not causal, links with ADHD-related emotion dysregulation. Methods: This preregistered randomized controlled trial tested whether two digital therapeutic training protocols that have been previously shown to improve working memory (Central Executive Training [CET]) and inhibitory control (Inhibitory Control Training [ICT]) can improve emotion regulation in a sample of 94 children with ADHD aged 8–13 years (M = 10.22, SD = 1.43; 76% …

Construction And Case Study Of A Novel Lung Cancer Risk Index, Ali Faghani, Lei Guo, Mahdi Vaezi, Margaret Wright Geise, M. Courtney Hughes

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

Purpose

This study constructs a lung cancer risk index (LCRI) that incorporates many modifiable risk factors using an easily reproducible and adaptable method that relies on publicly available data.

Methods

We used meta-analysis followed by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to generate a lung cancer risk index (LCRI) that incorporates seven modifiable risk factors (active smoking, indoor air pollution, occupational exposure, alcohol consumption, secondhand smoke exposure, outdoor air pollution, and radon exposure) for lung cancer. Using county-level population data, we then performed a case study in which we tailored the LCRI for use in the state of Illinois (LCRIIL).

High Resolution Modeling Of Vegetation Reveals Large Summertime Biogenic Co2 Fluxes In New York City, Dandan Wei, Andrew Reinmann, Luke D. Schiferl, Roisin Commane

Advanced Science Research Center

Cities are beginning to monitor atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) to assess the efficacy of their climate policies. However, changes in anthropogenic CO₂ emissions must be separated from biospheric CO₂ fluxes which have a large seasonal cycle. Urban vegetation (e.g. lawns, trees along street and in parks, etc) in developed land covers is often omitted in regional biogenic CO₂ flux models. We set up a biosphere model to estimate the regional biogenic CO₂ fluxes in New York City (NYC) and assess the importance of vegetation within developed land covers. The model incorporates a high-resolution (30 …

Seeing Children’S Futures Through Rose Colored Glasses: Does Optimism Bias Toward Reproduction Discourage Anti-Natalism?, Faith L. Brown

Dissertations

In order to examine the possibility that individuals continue having children and holding positive views toward reproduction regardless of how much their future children might suffer because of an optimism bias, I conducted two experimental studies examining the effect of optimism manipulation on people’s opinions of anti-natalism, the position that it is morally wrong for individuals to reproduce. In Study 1, participants received an optimism (v. pessimism or control) manipulation about either themselves or a future child before being asked to read an essay about anti-natalism and a control essay having to do with parents being involved in school …

A Constrained Adaptive Active Noise Control Filter Design Method Via Online Convex Optimization, Yongjie Zhuang, Yangfan Liu

Publications of the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories

In practical active noise control (ANC) applications, various types of constraints may need to be satisfied, e.g., robust stability, disturbance enhancement, and filter output power constraint. Some adaptive filters such as leaky LMS have been developed to apply required constraints indirectly. However, when multiple constraints are required simultaneously, satisfactory noise performance is difficult to achieve by tuning only one leaky factor. Another filter design approach that may achieve better noise control performance is to solve a constrained optimization problem. But the computational complexity of solving such a constrained optimization problem for ANC applications is usually too high even for offline …

Palliative Care Reduces Emergency Room Visits And Total Hospital Days Among Patients With Metastatic Hpb And Gi Cancers, Angelle A. Billiot, Denise M. Danos, Jenny Stevens, Katie M. Vance, Mary C. Raven, John M. Lyons

School of Public Health Faculty Publications

Palliative care services (PCS) have improved quality of life for patients across various cancer subtypes. Minimal data exists regarding PCSfor metastatic hepatopancreaticobiliary (HPB) and gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. We assessed the impact of PCS on emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and survival among these patients. Patients with metastatic HPB and GI cancer referred to outpatient PCS between 2014 and 2018 at a single institution were included. We compared the demographics, outcomes, and end-of-life indicators between those who did and did not receive PCS. The study included 183 patients, with 118 (64.5%) having received PCS. There were no significant differences in age, …

Critical Race Theory, Natural Rights, And The Fate Of Liberalism, Landon Hooley

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Is critical race theory compatible with liberalism? I argue that it is not, and that natural rights theory, liberalism's rational core, ought to be preferred as the primary framework to create public policy and understand the law. Critical race theory (CRT) has outgrown its original design as a legal critique and become a political worldview, although it is not developed enough to constitute an ideology or philosophy. It has inspired various organizations and movements that expand upon its principles and propose ideals and policies that conflict with the current constitutional liberal order. Many conflicts between natural rights theory and critical …

Trends In Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Life Support With And Without An Impella Or Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump For Cardiogenic Shock, Michael J. Hendrickson, Vardhmaan Jain, Kirtipal Bhatia, Christopher Chew, Sameer Arora, Joseph S. Rossi, Pedro Villablanca, Navin K. Kapur, Aditya A. Joshi, Arieh Fox, Kiran Mahmood, Edo Y. Birati, Mark J. Ricciardi, Arman Qamar

Cardiology Articles

Background: Mechanical circulatory support devices, such as the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) and Impella, are often used in patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) with cardiogenic shock despite limited supporting clinical trial data.

Methods and Results: Hospitalizations for cardiogenic shock from 2016 to 2018 were identified from the National Inpatient Sample. Trends in the use of VA-ECLS with and without an IABP or Impella were assessed semiannually. Multivariable logistic regression and general linear regression evaluated the association of Impella and IABP use with in-hospital outcomes. Overall, 12 035 hospitalizations with cardiogenic shock and VA-ECLS were identified, of which 3115 …

Understanding Cnc Capacity Through Production Time Estimation, Kaitlin Bluhm

Honors Theses

Landscape Forms is a high-end outdoor furniture company. This thesis was completed at the Landscape Forms woodshop located in Kalamazoo, MI. Landscape Forms initially reached out regarding their CNC machines being the bottleneck and it was determined that the current product standards and capacity of the CNC machines at Landscape Forms were not accurate. This causes issues when planning and scheduling their incoming orders. During this thesis, two tools were developed over the course of two semesters. The first tool helped to create accurate product standards for their CNC machines depending on the different product types and second, a CNC …

Industry 4.0, Zachary Zeitler

Honors Theses

The ultimate goal of this project is to automate quality control processes on various machines which include 3D printers, welders, routers, CNCs, and more. Using the “Digital Twin” approach, we want to automate monitoring, data collection, data analysis, and corrective action. Our involvement begins with building a new piece of software that can perform two specific functions and collect data from cameras. We are not attempting to analyze the data, make corrective action, or design a final version of the physical attributes. Our software provides the user with the ability to capture an image set or a 3D scan and …

A High-Accuracy Detection System: Based On Transfer Learning For Apical Lesions On Periapical Radiograph, Yueh Chuo, Wen-Ming Lin, Tsung-Yi Chen, Mei-Ling Chan, Yu-Sung Chang, Yan-Ru Lin, Yuan-Jin Lin, Yu-Han Shao, Chiung-An Chen, Patricia Angela R. Abu

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

Apical Lesions, one of the most common oral diseases, can be effectively detected in daily dental examinations by a periapical radiograph (PA). In the current popular endodontic treatment, most dentists spend a lot of time manually marking the lesion area. In order to reduce the burden on dentists, this paper proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based regional analysis model for spical lesions for periapical radiographs. In this study, the database was provided by dentists with more than three years of practical experience, meeting the criteria for clinical practical application. The contributions of this work are (1) an advanced adaptive threshold …

In Silico Identification Of A Β2-Adrenoceptor Allosteric Site That Selectively Augments Canonical Β2ar-Gs Signaling And Function, Sushrut D Shah, Christoffer Lind, Francesco De Pascali, Raymond B Penn, Alexander D Mackerell, Deepak A Deshpande

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Papers

Activation of β2-adrenoceptors (β2ARs) causes airway smooth muscle (ASM) relaxation and bronchodilation, and β2AR agonists (β-agonists) are front-line treatments for asthma and other obstructive lung diseases. However, the therapeutic efficacy of β-agonists is limited by agonist-induced β2AR desensitization and noncanonical β2AR signaling involving β-arrestin that is shown to promote asthma pathophysiology. Accordingly, we undertook the identification of an allosteric site on β2AR that could modulate the activity of β-agonists to overcome these limitations. We employed the site identification by ligand competitive saturation (SILCS) computational method to comprehensively map the entire 3D structure of in silico-generated β2AR intermediate conformations and identified …

Detection Of Progression Or Regression Of Breast Cancer By Circulating Tumor Dna (Ctdna), Ujjwal Karki, Bipin Ghimire, Emma Herrman, Siddhartha Yadav, Mohammad Muhsin Chisti

Conference Presentation Abstracts

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are short DNA sequences shed by tumor cells into the systemic circulation. Studies have shown potential utility of the test to predict relapse or recurrence following treatment in solid tumors, but sensitivity and specificity have varied widely, ranging from 19-100% and 80-100% respectively, in breast cancer specifically. Moreover, literature describing the utility of monitoring dynamic changes in ctDNA trends is limited. We aim to evaluate the correlation between ctDNA test, both single test as well as dynamic trends in value over time, with imaging findings.
