Organizational Values, Social Responsibility, And Corporate Citizenship: The Case Of Nevada State College, Grace S. Thomson Dec 2009

Organizational Values, Social Responsibility, And Corporate Citizenship: The Case Of Nevada State College, Grace S. Thomson

Dr. Grace S. Thomson

Organizational Values, Social Responsibility, and Corporate Citizenship Organizations contribute more than products and services to the society. The generation of jobs, creation of wealth and satisfaction of needs are only a portion of the influence that organizations have in a community. Likewise, organizations are increasingly engaging in social responsible initiatives to respond to the concerns of their various stakeholders (Aguilera, Rupp, Williams, & Ganapathi, 2007). Organizations with a genuine interest for social responsibility and citizenship possess value systems that articulate and integrate these social motives into their corporate strategy (Graber & Kilpatrick, 2008). Higher education institutions in the United States …

A Statistical Framework For The Analysis Of Chip-Seq Data, Pei Fen Kuan, Dongjun Chung, Guangjin Pan, James A. Thomson, Ron Stewart, Sunduz Keles Nov 2009

A Statistical Framework For The Analysis Of Chip-Seq Data, Pei Fen Kuan, Dongjun Chung, Guangjin Pan, James A. Thomson, Ron Stewart, Sunduz Keles

Sunduz Keles

Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-Seq) has revolutionalized experiments for genome-wide profiling of DNA-binding proteins, histone modifications, and nucleosome occupancy. As the cost of sequencing is decreasing, many researchers are switching from microarray-based technologies (ChIP-chip) to ChIP-Seq for genome-wide study of transcriptional regulation. Despite its increasing and well-deserved popularity, there is little work that investigates and accounts for sources of biases in the ChIP-Seq technology. These biases typically arise from both the standard pre-processing protocol and the underlying DNA sequence of the generated data.

We study data from a naked DNA sequencing experiment, which sequences non-cross-linked DNA after deproteinizing and …


Farmers’ Willingness To Adopt Agricultural Best Management Practices To Control Nonpoint Source Pollution In The Lower Bhavani River Basin, Tamilnadu, India, Sacchidananda Mukherjee Oct 2009

Farmers’ Willingness To Adopt Agricultural Best Management Practices To Control Nonpoint Source Pollution In The Lower Bhavani River Basin, Tamilnadu, India, Sacchidananda Mukherjee

Sacchidananda Mukherjee

The role of stakeholders and their voluntary participation in agri-environmental management in general and water resources conservation in particular is a new area of research, at least for a developing country like India. This study attempts to understand the factors influencing farmers’ willingness to adopt agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect groundwater from nonpoint sources of pollution. Based on long term groundwater nitrate concentration and source(s) of irrigation six villages selected in the Lower Bhavani River Basin, Tamilnadu and detailed questionnaire survey (face-to-face interviews) has been carried out among 395 farm households. The results of binary choice Probit models …


Does The Journal Impact Factor Help Make A Good Indicator Of Academic Performance?, Sudhanshu K. Mishra Oct 2009

Does The Journal Impact Factor Help Make A Good Indicator Of Academic Performance?, Sudhanshu K. Mishra

Sudhanshu K Mishra

Is journal impact factor a good measure of research merit? This question has assumed a great importance after the notification of the University Grants Commission (Minimum Qualifications for Appointment of Teachers and other Academic Staff in Universities and Colleges and Measures for the Maintenance of Standards in Higher Education) Regulations, 2009 on September 23rd 2009. Now publication of research papers/articles in reputed journals has become an important factor in assessment of the academic performance of teachers in colleges and universities in India. One of the measures of reputation and academic standard (rank or importance) of a journal is the so-called …


Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genomic Data, Shuangge Ma Sep 2009

Integrative Analysis Of Cancer Genomic Data, Shuangge Ma

Shuangge Ma

In the past decade, we have witnessed a period of unparallel development in the field of cancer genomics. To address the same or similar biomedical questions, multiple cancer genomic studies have been independently designed and conducted. Cancer gene signatures identified from analysis of individual datasets often have low reproducibility. A cost-effective way of improving reproducibility is to conduct integrative analysis of datasets from multiple studies with comparable designs. To properly integrate multiple studies and conduct integrative analysis, we need to access various public data warehouses, retrieve experiment protocols and raw data, evaluate individual studies and select those with comparable designs, …

Marginal Hazards Model For Multivariate Failure Time Data With Auxiliary Covariates, Zhaozhi Fan, Xiao-Feng Wang Sep 2009

Marginal Hazards Model For Multivariate Failure Time Data With Auxiliary Covariates, Zhaozhi Fan, Xiao-Feng Wang

Xiaofeng Wang

A marginal hazards model of multivariate failure times has been developed based on the ‘working independence’ assumption [L.J. Wei, D.Y. Lin, and L. Wessfeld, Regression analysis of multivariate incomplete failure time data by modeling marginal distributions, J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 84 (1989), pp. 1065–1073.]. In this article, we study the marginal hazards model of multivariate failure times with continuous auxiliary covariates. We consider the case of common baseline hazards for subjects from the same clusters. We extend the kernel smoothing procedure of Zhou and Wang [H. Zhou and C.Y. Wang, Failure time regression with continuous covariates measured with error, J. …

Modern Spectral Climate Patterns In Rhythmically Deposited Argillites Of The Gowganda Formation (Early Proterozoic), Southern Ontario, Canada, Gary B. Hughes, Robert Giegengack, Haralambos N. Kritikos Aug 2009

Modern Spectral Climate Patterns In Rhythmically Deposited Argillites Of The Gowganda Formation (Early Proterozoic), Southern Ontario, Canada, Gary B. Hughes, Robert Giegengack, Haralambos N. Kritikos

Gary B. Hughes

Rhythmically deposited argillites of the Gowganda Formation (ca. 2.0–2.5 Ga) probably formed in a glacial setting. Drop stones and layered sedimentary couplets in the rock presumably indicate formation in a lacustrine environment with repeating freeze–thaw cycles. It is plausible that temporal variations in the thickness of sedimentary layers are related to interannual climatic variability, e.g. average seasonal temperature could have influenced melting and the amount of sediment source material carried to the lake. A sequence of layer couplet thickness measurements was made from high-resolution digitized photographs taken at an outcrop in southern Ontario, Canada. The frequency spectrum of thickness measurements …

Elder, Steven J. Schrodi, Ann B. Begovich, Goncalo R. Abecasis, Xue-Jun Zhang, Kristina P. Callis Duffin, Gerald G. Krueger, David E. Goldgar

Steven J Schrodi

Psoriasis is a common inflammatory skin disease characterized by thickened scaly red plaques. Previously we have performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on psoriasis with 1,359 cases and 1,400 controls, which were genotyped for 447,249 SNPs. The most significant finding was for SNP rs12191877, which is in tight linkage disequilibrium with HLA-Cw*0602, the consensus risk allele for psoriasis. However, it is not known whether there are other psoriasis loci within the MHC in addition to HLA-C. In the present study, we searched for additional susceptibility loci within the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region through in-depth analyses of the GWAS data; …
