Optimal Scheduling Method Of Cross-Regional Game Of Flexible Resources Under High Proportion Of Renewable Energy, Xiaofan Xie, Xiaobo He, Bo Liu, Xuejing Xiao, Guozhou Xiao, Po Hu

Journal of Electric Power Science and Technology

Flexible mutual assistance in resources can be achieved among power grids in different regions, and regions with a high proportion of renewable energy can obtain flexible resources from other regions to ensure the safe and flexible operation of the power grid. Based on this, a cross-regional optimal scheduling method of multivariate flexible resources is proposed considering Stackelberg game. Firstly, the flexible adjustment demand of wind, solar, and other renewable energy and the flexible supply capacity of the typical flexible resources in the source, load, and storage are quantitatively analyzed. An upper-level optimization model for multi-agents within a region is constructed …

Patient And Population Impacts Of Multigene Panel And Pembrolizumab Coverage In Metastatic Melanoma, Deirdre Weymann, Emanuel Krebs, Samantha Pollard, Melanie Mcphail, Ian Bosdet, Stephen Yip, Alison M. Weppler, Aly Karsan, Helen Anderson, Tania M. Bubela

Office of the Provost

Background: Targeted treatment or immunotherapy may yield increased, durable responses for melanoma patients. Whether patient-level benefits translate to population health is unknown. This study sought to estimate patient and population impacts of a cancer control policy that reimbursed multigene panel testing and pembrolizumab for metastatic melanoma in British Columbia, Canada.
Methods: This retrospective study examined a population-based cohort of 721 adults diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in British Columbia who received single or multigene testing between 2013 and 2018. We determined patient-level policy impacts using 1:1 genetic algorithm matching of policy-affected patients with historical control patients and Kaplan-Meier analysis and inverse …

Penalty Box: The Eighth Amendment’S Role In The Fbar Penalties Game, Tessa B. Walter

Georgia State University Law Review

A sharp disagreement has emerged among federal circuit courts regarding the application of the Eighth Amendment’s Excessive Fines Clause to penalties for failing to file a Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR). This has created legal uncertainty for individuals with foreign financial interests. The resulting circuit split leads to disparate outcomes, where the constitutionality of a penalty is dependent on the jurisdiction in which it is challenged.

The divergence in judicial opinion centers on a fundamental question: Whether the substantial civil penalties for willful FBAR violations constitute a punitive “fine” or a remedial measure intended to compensate the government. The statutory …

Dynamics Of The Airborne Phase In Discus Throwing, Andreas Maheras

Track and Field Faculty Publications

From a mechanics point of view, the execution of the airborne phase in discus throwing can affect the execution of the delivery phase, and eventually the distance thrown. It is not very important to minimize the time it takes to complete the airborne phase or how fast the thrower turns in the middle. The important element in this phase is to create the conditions for a quick planting of the left foot in the front of the ring, while at the same time keeping the shoulder axis towards the thrower's right in the final double support phase. That, can be …

Numerical Modeling Of The Magnetic Vector Potential And The Associated Electromagnetic Momenta, John Adams, Christopher L. Duston

Physics Faculty Publications

The idea that the magnetic vector potential A is associated with stored electromagnetic momenta dates back to Maxwell himself. Here, we present numerical modeling results that illustrate the connection between A and associated linear and angular electromagnetic momenta, expanding on previous work which mostly considered examples that could be analytically solved. We first focus on a stationary point charge q interacting with the magnetic fields of a solenoid, separately calculating A(r) and the electromagnetic momentum added to the system in bringing q to r from a distant location where ⁠A ≈ 0. We then model the …

Institutionalizing Inclusive Education In East Africa: A Mixed-Methods Synthesis Of Pedagogical Impact And Teacher Professional Learning, Nyagwegwe Wango, Jane Rarieya

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

East African teacher education reforms are placing a greater emphasis on inclusive and gender responsive pedagogy; yet, little research has been done on how these innovations are institutionalized outside of project cycles. In order to combine the results of two complimentary projects, the Strengthening Education Systems East Africa (SESEA) project and the Foundation for Learning (F4L) longitudinal research conducted in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, this study uses a comparative cross case synthesis design. Following the adoption of learner-centered and inclusive pedagogical practices, SESEA data shows moderate advances in numeracy and significant improvements in basic literacy. However, F4L evidence suggests that …

Social, Environmental And Policy Contexts Affecting The Feasibility And Acceptability Of Improving Household Flooring For Better Health In Rural Kenya, Ulrike Fillinger, Victoria Ochwal, Hugo Legge, Sharon Muli, Karisa Kazungu, Carlos Mcharo, Jacinta Mwongeli, Charles Mwandawiro, Katherine Halliday, Doris Njomo

Institute for Human Development, East Africa

Background Homes with unimproved floors (earth, sand, or clay) are associated with increased risks of soil-transmitted parasites and enteric infections, leading to higher morbidity and reduced quality of life. This study explored the enablers and barriers to adopting improved flooring (sealed, washable, and durable) in three culturally diverse regions of Kenya - Narok, Bungoma, and Kwale - to mitigate disease burdens.

Methods Between August 2021 and July 2022, we conducted 24 focus group discussions with homeowners, stratified by age, gender, and floor type. Additionally, 28 key informant interviews with local government officials, microfinance representatives, and masonry trainers in Kwale and …

Investigating The Effects Of Novel Hexylamine Compounds On Hn6 Carcinoma Cell Survival, Lydia Neven '27, Dominic Pittman '26

Annual Student Research Poster Session

Cancer is a broad term encompassing hundreds of distinct diseases, each arising from unique genetic and environmental factors. Because of this diversity, there is a continual need to develop new chemotherapies. Oral cancer, in particular, remains one of the most common cancers worldwide, yet effective therapeutic options for this malignancy remain limited. Although billions of dollars are invested annually in cancer drug discovery in the United States, the process of evaluating and advancing candidate compounds often represents a critical bottleneck, leading many promising therapies to be abandoned before their full potential is understood. In collaboration with the Hansen lab, we …

Effects Of Peripheral Sympathetic Denervation On Phytohemagglutinin (Pha) Induced Cutaneous Swelling In The Hock And Tail Of Mice, Ayusha Pokharel '27, Masyn Naegele '26

Annual Student Research Poster Session

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) carries stress signals directly to the site of injury and activates the immune system via direct neuronal innervation or release of systemic hormones. 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a neurotoxin that causes denervation of the SNS by eliminating the peripheral nerve terminals, which are responsible for sending the stress signals. The effect of sympathetic denervation on the localized immune response is unexplored in the literature. Therefore, our study aims to investigate the effect of 6-OHDA-induced sympathetic denervation on local inflammation following phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced swelling. Even under resting circumstances, some baseline level of stress is communicated to the …

Towards Customizing Principled Negotiation Based On Culture: A Differentiated Approach, Monique Carels, Yannic Anthony Ratt

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Negotiation is a common part of our lives. We often negotiate with our spouses about the monthly budget, with our children to complete chores or homework, and when trying to get a better deal on a pre-owned vehicle. The negotiation process encompasses various aspects that are carried out differently and are influenced by culture. Thus, negotiation becomes intercultural when it involves at least two parties from different cultural backgrounds trying to agree on mutual interests

Motherly Love: A Critical Autoethnography On Identity Formation Through Mental Illness In Maternal Bonds, Ellie E. Monge

Communication Studies

This critical autoethnography is an examination of my personal narrative on how growing up with a mother with mental illness formed my identity as a woman, and as a daughter. I utilize the lens of communication scholarship to understand the effects that this interpersonal relationship had on communication patterns, and ideology. Through personal, and societal analysis the discourse adds to how gendered expectations of womanhood, motherhood, family communication patterns, and dominant mental health rhetoric shape identity for daughters raised in the absence of maternal stability. I implore Family Systems Theory, Family Communication Patterns Theory, Muted Group Theory, and scholarship on …
