International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Under the background of the integration of sports and education, it is of great significance to deepening the training theory of college sports teams. This research puts forward the necessity of using the complexity paradigm to find a more suitable training theory for college sports teams. The training theory of our country is deeply influenced by the simplicity paradigm. The simplicity paradigm is based on reductionism, which believes that the research object comprises simple addition of single elements, showing a linear relationship. There are many general pieces of training in the training arrangement, the preparation period is too long, the …

Using Quantum Fluctuations To Regularize An Analytic Continuation Problem From Many-Body Physics, Lucretius Coleman Aug 2022

Using Quantum Fluctuations To Regularize An Analytic Continuation Problem From Many-Body Physics, Lucretius Coleman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Extracting spectral information via inversion from Quantum Monte Carlo sampled data isa difficult task. There is a need to analytically continue noisy and often incomplete imaginary-time data into the full complex domain. A new approach is proposed that uses the quantum fluctuations of spin momenta to regularize the inversion. A one-dimensional Heisenberg chain in the presence of a transverse field is first encoded with synthetic data representing several classes of spectral functions and then run through a Density Matrix Renormalization Group algorithm to find its ground state. This solution corresponds to a probable, high quality solution to the inversion. Using …

Low-Velocity Impact, Vibration And Shock Response Of Unstitched/Stitched E- And S- Glass/Vinyl Ester Composites, Shahriar Chowdhury

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this study, the effects of through-thickness stitching on the dynamic properties, low-velocity impact and shock responses of stitched and unstitched E- and S- Glass/Vinyl Ester composites have been investigated. The stiffness and loss factor (inherent damping) properties are obtained from impulse-frequency response experiments using the hammer excitation method. Drop weight impact testing machine was used to carry out low-velocity punch shear tests on the composite specimens following ASTM D3763 Standard, and shock tube apparatus was used to determine center point deflection under blast loading. The stitching increased the dynamic flexural modulus by 13% for E- and 8% for S- …

Critical Thinking Teaching Practices In Community College, Andrea Jordan Crowley Aug 2022

Critical Thinking Teaching Practices In Community College, Andrea Jordan Crowley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more ubiquitous, and machine learning continues to optimize systems and data, the human contribution to our working and social worlds must evolve to be more sophisticated. Labeled as the fourth industrial revolution by the World Economic Forum (2019), employment roles comprised of repetitive tasks and rote analysis will no longer be needed because machines and artificial intelligence will be able to program themselves to perform these functions. Many experts forecast that for every low-skilled occupation a new, more sophisticated role will be invented (Skilton & Hovesepian, 2018).

Dose-Response Of Two Jack O’Lantern Pumpkin Cultivars To Fomesafen Applied Preemergence, Jeanine Arana, Stephen L. Meyers, William G. Johnson, Wenjing Guan Aug 2022

Dose-Response Of Two Jack O’Lantern Pumpkin Cultivars To Fomesafen Applied Preemergence, Jeanine Arana, Stephen L. Meyers, William G. Johnson, Wenjing Guan

Department of Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Faculty Publications

Three dose-response trials were performed in 2020 and 2021 to determine the tolerance of two Jack O’Lantern pumpkin cultivars to fomesafen applied preemergence at two Indiana locations: the Southwest Purdue Agricultural Center (SWPAC) and the Pinney Purdue Agricultural Center (PPAC). The experiment was a split-plot arrangement in which the main plot was the fomesafen rate of application (0, 280, 560, 840, and 1,220 g ai ha–1), and the subplot was the pumpkin cultivar (‘Bayhorse Gold’ and ‘Carbonado Gold’). As the fomesafen rate increased from 280 to 1,120 g ha–1, the predicted pumpkin emergence decreased from 85% to 25% of the …

Sales Technology: A Three-Part Multi-Method Approach To Examining Sales-Stacks, John Galvan Aug 2022

Sales Technology: A Three-Part Multi-Method Approach To Examining Sales-Stacks, John Galvan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Salespeople depend on sales-related technologies to make themselves more efficient and effective. The extant sales-technology research tends to examine specific sales technologies in sales settings with the emphasis on the impact on salespeople. With the growth of technological capabilities, sales technology has become more integrated, thus making it harder to separate individual technologies from one another. The current research conducts a typological literature review of sales technology. Next, with an eye toward the development of indigenous theory, it introduces the term sales-stacks as capturing the aggregate of sales technologies that, when effective, provide a powerful, connected, easy-to-use experience for every …

The Colbert-Walker Site (22le1048): History And Archaeology Of A Chickasaw Home, Council House, And Travelers’ Stand, Raymond Doherty

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In late 1813, at a time of increasing violence on the Southern frontier, Chickasaw leader George Colbert (Tootemastubee) left his home and ferry on the Natchez Trace to move back to relative safety in the heart of the Chickasaw Nation. He returned to the place that had once been his father’s plantation and made what he described as a “shelter from the weather.” He later hired skilled craftsmen to build a large and finely carpentered new home on the site. The Colbert-Walker site (22Le1048), near present-day Tupelo, Mississippi, has long been said to be the location of this structure, which …

Organizational Green Claims And Consumer Green Perceptions In The Foodservice Industry, Jangwoo Jo Aug 2022

Organizational Green Claims And Consumer Green Perceptions In The Foodservice Industry, Jangwoo Jo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Due to the ever-growing consumer demands and global pressures for more sustainable business operations, corporations disclose their sustainable practices, products, and services to enhance their environmental image. Consumer green perceptions resulting from those organizational green claims have not been the focus of foodservice research. The application of green performance dimensionality of the foodservice domain identified that organizational green claims regarding food, environment and administration increase consumer green confusion and green trust at the same time. Based on the results of CFA, SEM, and multigroup analyses, this study suggests implications both theoretical and practical.

Bland Treacherous Water: Diluvial Epistemologies In Flood Narratives Of The Us South Since 1927, Sara Stephens Loomis Aug 2022

Bland Treacherous Water: Diluvial Epistemologies In Flood Narratives Of The Us South Since 1927, Sara Stephens Loomis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examines the relationship between southern flood narratives and the epistemological changes wrought by the Anthropocene epoch in the past hundred years. It participates in the turns toward ecocriticism and environmental justice within 21st-century southern studies, situating the US South as a testing ground for ecosystem epistemologies shaped by overabundant water. An expansion of Steve Mentz’s call for a blue humanities that shifts focus from land to sea, Bland Treacherous Water explores what happens to Anthropocene subjects’ ways of knowing their environments when waterways inundate the land itself. By investigating works by William Faulkner, James Dickey, Cormac McCarthy, Marilou …
