Social contexts, self, and adolescent expectations of success in the view of the bioecological model
Creators: name: Del Rosso, Paulette F.

Year: 2019

description: Current practices in education focus on academic achievement in order to prepare students for the important task of career pursuit.  Students’ ability to imagine their futures is important to realizing future goals.  Social science researchers recognize the complexity of the multiple environments in which students function and the effects of those environments on future expectations.  The Bronfenbrenner’s (Bronfenbrenner & Ceci, 1994) bioecological systems theory portrays the influences of social contexts on development and learning.  This dissertation used Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological systems theory to test a model of adolescent expectations of success with multiple contextual influences (self constructs, parents, peers, school, and culture).  Self-determination theory was used as an additional interpretive lens.  Race/culture, socioeconomic status, gender, and age were used as controls.  This was a quantitative analysis that incorporated data from The Alfred P.  Sloan Study of Youth and Social Development, 1992–1997 (United States) (Schneider, 2013), which asked adolescents vital questions about education, relationships, careers, and adult success.  The dynamic relationship between these influences was explored through structural equation modeling (SEM).  Reliability and validity of latent constructs was examined and models were tested for invariance.Research hypotheses addressed the predictive impact of contextual variables on adolescent expectations of future success.  Mediation between self-esteem and social context variables was explored within models.  Hypotheses also addressed the impact of demographics and age of cohort (young vs.  old) on self and social context variables.  Results demonstrated that self-esteem had a positive relationship with expectations of success and with the social context variables of parent autonomy support, student teacher relationship, and peer shared values.  It was demonstrated that self-esteem also acted as a mediator for parent autonomy support, student teacher relationship, and peer shared values in their positive impact on adolescent expectations of success.  The models that were specified and tested gave insight into the relative contributions of the various influences on expectations of success and the relative sources of future goal formation in the adolescent academic and social world.  These results provide insight for school programming, school counseling, teacher education, and parent and teacher supports towards the building of productive relationships with adolescents.
Statistical learning of transition patterns between variable stimuli

description: Learning transition patterns between variable sounds is essential for vocal communications. For example, spoken speech usually consists of a series of words in a specific order. Having a variant-independent representation for a word and knowing the transition patterns between words are critical for speech perception. To investigate these questions at the neural level, we recorded extracellular neural activity from multiple sites bilaterally in the zebra finch auditory forebrain while presenting auditory stimuli in two separate experiments. In the first experiment, infrequent repetitions of a song syllable were presented after either an alternating or shuffled sequence of syllables. At all tested inter-stimulus intervals (1s, 3s, or jittered from 0.8 to 1.2s), neurons in the secondary auditory area (caudomedial nidopallium, NCM) were sensitive to the violation of transition patterns. In contrast, neurons were less sensitive to the violation of transition patterns in the primary auditory area (Field L2). These results suggest that neurons in NCM can learn transition patterns between sounds after passive exposure independent of inter-syllable intervals (at least for all tested ISIs). In the second experiment, naturally-produced variants of zebra finch songs were presented in either blocked or shuffled order. The response temporal profiles for different variants of the same zebra finch song were more similar in NCM than in L2. Furthermore, in NCM but not L2, the response temporal profiles became more similar to each other after repeated passive exposure. These results suggest that variant-independent representation emerges hierarchically in the auditory system and that passive exposure may further facilitate that representation. Together, these two experiments provide insights into how the zebra finch auditory system can form variant-independent representations of complex sounds and learn the transition patterns between those sounds. Because similar neural mechanisms may serve the statistical learning and perceptual invariance capacities of the human auditory system, this approach may help us understand the neural basis of speech perception and ultimately contribute to treatments for certain auditory processing disorders.

Sensing meaning: aesthetics and vulnerability in the Romantic age
Creators: name: Diaby, Bakary
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Sensing Meaning: Aesthetics and Vulnerability in the Romantic Age examines the politics of aestheticization by investigating how Romantic era literature aestheticized precarity and vulnerable persons. Romantic aesthetics have been characterized by twentieth century philosophers as apolitcal, elitist, and even as fascist. Similarly, scholars have criticized Romantic poets like William Wordsworth and John Keats for a solipsism that favors poetry and art at the expense of the material world. Many of these criticisms share an assumption that the period was primarily––or, perhaps, exclusively––an aesthetic ideology. This project re-conceptualizes aesthetics into the process by which we scrutinize, contest, and eventually alter the value of our values. My chapters highlight the ways literature and aesthetics participate in more overtly political debates. The opening section discusses the ability to find meaning in the environment and link this cognitive capacity to the Romantic notion of poiesis, or the faculty of fictioning. This faculty is crucial to the Romanticism’s project of refiguring the human subject. In this chapter, I read Mary Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written during a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark as articulating an ethics predicated on this faculty to forge affective connections to the land, the poor, the non-living, and future generations, culminating in Wollstonecraft’s own prescient thoughts on our current ecological crises. The subsequent chapter, “Working,” claims that the Romantic period comes to aestheticize the ongoingness of labor and the uneven distribution of care along lines of gender and class.In “Noticing,” I use Keats’s “The Eve of St. Agnes” to discuss sexual assault and the ability to notice or perceive injustice. The chapter calls for an epistemic justice that is built on what the philosopher Debra Bergoffen has called the “Politics of the Vulnerable Body.” To quote Bergoffen, this strives to make “the ‘we’ of humanity... the ‘we’ of vulnerability.” The final chapter, “Feeling,” explores the complications of fragility, race, and the Romantic subject. Partially at stake in my project is the role literature and the arts has played––and can still play––in the reformation of our values, in how a subject connects to vulnerable others, and in underscoring the importance of the natural and social environment we find ourselves embedded within. As such, my dissertation demonstrates one way the Humanities can speak to today’s conflicts: in critiquing not only how our present can offer new answers to old questions, but also the value of some old answers to our new, pressing political questions.
Process control strategies in additive manufacturing

description: Additive manufacturing (or 3D-printing) processes such as fused filament fabrication of polymer constructs and laser based sintering and fusion of metal powder which can produce nearly fully dense parts with complex geometry by following layer-to-layer scanning strategies on feedstock material with pre-specified layer thickness find many applications in industry ranging from prototype fabrication to actual parts and components production. In this thesis, we study the control schemes that can be developed in improving the extruded polymer consistency in form and temperature, and fused track quality in laser-based melting and fusion by using observable process variables and applying control on controllable variables. Specifically, system identification methods are used to obtain transfer function for Liquefier block in a fused filament fusion systems and simulations are conducted to introduce a suitable control strategy. The control strategy simulations for temperature control of Liquefier block takes in accounts the load to the system (filament feed rate) and a suitable feedback compensator is designed. The Lead-lead feedback compensator has proved to provide faster settling time and negligible steady state error. Also, an XY positioning system is considered for studying the trajectory control using feedback and iterative learning control schemes. The iterative learning control method is found to be very effective in reducing contour error during tracking of trajectories with sharp corners. The results obtained from these studies are expected to provide more information about the additive manufacturing process control which can be used for further validation of modelling studies or for industrial purposes.

Female macroptera. Colour: mainly dark brown, tibiae and apex of femora yellow; antennal segments I–II yellow, III light brown, IV light brown with brown apical third, V–VIII brown; fore wing brown with one sub-apical pale area and apparently median and apical bands suffused brown to pale.
Structure: Occipital apodeme not confluent with posterior margin of eyes (Fig. 42), ocellar area irregularly sculptured with internal markings; pronotal transverse striae forming some transverse reticles with internal markings, pronotal blotch distinct; mesonotum transversely striate; metanotal striae transverse on anterior half, longitudinal on posterior half; metasternal plate with shallow emargination; comb of microtrichia incomplete on tergites III–VI, complete on VII–VIII; tergite IX with 2 pairs of mid-dorsal setae.
Material studied. Cotype female, MEXICO, Chapingo, on alfafa field, 13.iii.1924 (USNM).
Comments. Based on three poorly cleared females, this species was regarded as having only one pale area (sub-basal) on the fore wing, although the key by Mound and Marullo (1996) suggests that the fore wing has three pale bands. The cotype examined here is not fully cleared with the fore wing laying over the body, but the apex of the fore wing is light brown. In the original description, Priesner (1924) indicated that the species has one pale subbasal band also other more or less diffused brown bands.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: My approach to this thesis is a three-chapter guidebook. Chapter 1 will introduce the watershed, demonstrate residential land use and its impact on waterways, and discuss the Environmental Education Continuum created by the Environmental Protection Agency. This diagram is a trajectory from the awareness level to action and can be used to understand the structure of this thesis. Chapter 2 will focus on an analysis of personal field work, conducted from September to November 2018. This chapter is a discussion of materials and methods used, results found, and an analysis.  The final chapter is a stewardship guide for resident’s living in the Lower Raritan Watershed, but is also applicable to nearly everyone. This thesis will provide readers with adequate knowledge of the watershed and impacts of anthropogenic activity in order to become residential stewards of the Lower Raritan Watershed in New Jersey.

description: “A Crusade Against the Despoiler of Virtue”: Black Women, Sexual Purity, and the Gendered Politics of the Negro Problem, 1839-1920 is a study of the activism of slave, poor, working-class and largely uneducated African American women around their sexuality. Drawing on slave narratives, ex-slave interviews, Civil War court-martials, Congressional testimonies, organizational minutes and conference proceedings, A Crusade takes an intersectional and subaltern approach to the era that has received extreme scholarly attention as the early women’s rights movement to understand the concerns of marginalized women around the sexualized topic of virtue. I argue that enslaved and free black women pioneered a women’s rights framework around sexual autonomy and consent through their radical engagement with the traditionally conservative and racially-exclusionary ideals of chastity and female virtue of the Victorian-era. This is the first full-length project to situate enslaved women within a long tradition of African American women’s struggles for self-defense and sexual self-sovereignty. This project focuses on the moral imperatives and objectives that governed individual black women’s sexual agency. A Crusade interrogates the ways that black women’s sexual choices represented their aspirational selves. This project treats the question of what the meaning of sex – sexual identity, sexual practices, biological sex and its attendant duties – was in slave, poor, working-class and uneducated black women’s meanings of freedom. Revisiting the concept of chastity, a term that has been largely read as oppressive in feminist scholarship, this project outlines slave, poor and uneducated black women’s weaponization of this ideal for their own liberation. Fundamentally, this a story of the ways that marginalized women have deployed traditionally conservative and racially-exclusionary ideals for means for radical ends.

Scientist as subject: how researcher behaviors influence psychological knowledge

description: Background: Interacting with the published literature (“knowledge consumption”) and publishing new scientific findings (“knowledge production”) are two key moments in the scientist’s search for truth, and bias in either of these can distort what is known about an area of research.  This dissertation details three studies conducted on researchers in psychology that together provide evidence of scientists’ behaviors influencing these key moments of knowledge production and knowledge consumption.   Methods: Psychologists were recruited to participate in each study (N = 215 and N = 587). Studies used custom web tools and social network methods to collect unique datasets on psychologists’ social networks and how they approach the scientific literature.  The analytic approach differed based on each study.  For studies on knowledge consumption, Gini coefficients and measures of unpredictability were calculated to better understand the dynamics of the published literature.  For studies on knowledge production, the generalized network scale up method was used to estimate the size of the population of current users of questionable research practices, and regression was used to better understand the relationship between attitudes and stigma against certain psychologists. Results:  The presence of download counts (an operationalization of influential metadata) with scientific literature resulted in larger inequality of downloads, meaning potential readers were more likely to download articles that had been previously downloaded by others.  Download count presence also resulted in a higher unpredictability of success. The proportion of psychologists who currently use questionable research practices was estimated as 18.18% by direct estimate and 24.4% by the social network scale up estimate.  Finally, these researchers were found to be a stigmatized sub-population of psychologists, which could either help or hinder efforts to reduce this population size.Conclusions:  There is evidence that psychologists may inadvertently bias the knowledge they generate and consume in several different ways. While this dissertation focused specifically on psychologists, there is potential for this work to be applied in other areas of scientific inquiry. These findings highlight the importance of understanding the scientist as a means of better understanding the science.
Blushing bitterly: an affective and literary history of racial uplift after Reconstruction
Creators: name: Everett, Gabrielle Kunti Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: “Blushing Bitterly” asks: how did African American writers manage, deploy, and even circumscribe feeling during the era of racial uplift? African American writers and activists understood the question of feeling as central to national belonging. When the Supreme Court passed the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision on the basis that it protected public feeling, the nation thereby segregated sentiment and belonging along racial lines. At the same time, racial uplift leaders and institutions espoused a politics of respectability that asked African Americans to monitor their affect. Yet novels by Charles Chesnutt, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Pauline E. Hopkins, Sutton Griggs, and W.E.B. Du Bois unleash unmanaged feeling to articulate claims to belonging within and beyond the US. “Blushing Bitterly” therefore complicates our understanding of the racial uplift movement as an affectively conservative project. Against uplifters’ explicit advice to temper feelings of anger or bitterness, many creative works of this era privilege an uncontainable, unmanageable surfeit of feeling. This surfeit is the location, I argue, of progressive potential. This project takes up the question of literary form to rethink the racial uplift movement’s affective parameters. It argues that the novel is the central medium through which uplift authors theorized affect. Each chapter positions such uplift novels as Chesnutt’s The Marrow of Tradition (1901), Dunbar’s The Sport of the Gods, Hopkins’ Of One Blood (1902-3), and Du Bois’ Dark Princess alongside racial uplift manuals, essays, speeches, and journals. These chapters then consider the affective aims of racial uplift philosophy in the spheres of the public and the private, the body and mind, and the globe. While Chesnutt and Dunbar remain firmly situated in the US, their novels reveal a deep frustration with the nation. In contrast, the novels of Hopkins, Griggs, and Du Bois imagine transnational forms of belonging that shatter the national frame and refuse citizenship as the horizon of politics. “Blushing Bitterly” shows that racial uplift philosophy, and the affect management it demands, often fails in practice. The authors in this study encourage expressing unmanaged feeling. The novel’s formal characteristics allow freer forms of feeling than permitted by uplift philosophy. Their novels make room for negative feelings and model how to make way for individual agency in feeling. Theorizing these writers emphasizes the import of affect in African American literature and revises the genealogy of contemporary affect studies. While scholars attribute the “affective turn” in critical theory and literary studies to the early 2000s, “Blushing Bitterly” contends that African American writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth century had already made this turn by engaging in vital affective work.
A simple algorithm for Horn's problem and two results on discrepancy

description: In the second chapter we consider the discrepancy of permutation families. A k--permutation family on n vertices is a set-system consisting of the intervals of k permutations of [n]. Both 1- and 2-permutation families have discrepancy 1, that is, one can color the vertices red and blue such that the number of reds and blues in each edge differs by at most one. That is, their discrepancy is bounded by one. Beck conjectured that the discrepancy of for 3-permutation families is also O(1), but Newman and Nikolov disproved this conjecture in 2011. We give a simpler proof that Newman and Nikolov's sequence of 3-permutation families has discrepancy at least logarithmic in n. We also exhibit a new, tight lower bound for the related notion of root-mean-squared discrepancy of a 6-permutation family, and show new upper bounds on the root--mean--squared discrepancy of the union of set--systems.In the third chapter we study the discrepancy of random matrices with m rows and n >> m independent columns drawn from a bounded lattice random variable, a model motivated by the Koml'os conjecture. We prove that, with high probability, the discrepancy is at most twice the l∞-covering radius of the lattice. As a consequence, the discrepancy of a m x n random t-sparse matrix is at most 1 with high probability for n ≥ m3 log2m, an exponential improvement over Ezra and Lovett (Ezra and Lovett, emph{Approx+Random}, 2015). More generally, we show polynomial bounds on the size of n required for the discrepancy to become at most twice the covering radius of the lattice with high probability.In the fourth chapter, we obtain a simple algorithm to solve a class of linear algebraic problems. This class includes Horn's problem, the problem of finding Hermitian matrices that sum to zero with prescribed spectra. Other problems in this class arise in algebraic complexity, analysis, communication complexity, and quantum information theory. Our algorithm generalizes the work of (Garg et. al., 2016) and (Gurvits, 2004).

Type locality: [CL] Tairua.
Broun number: 3503.
Notes: Broun sent two specimens to Sharp, with two specimens bearing labels that match the locality data located in the BMNH main collection and are both females. One intact specimen is chosen to be the lectotype and the other specimen without head is placed as the paralectotype. There is an additional specimen in the NZAC with the label “cotype” in Sharp’s hand but does not match the locality data and is not considered to be part of the syntype series. The subgeneric assignment is not made for this species. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and a paralectotype are still here designated for Eupines simplex.

The genetics of organic acids variation in cranberry fruit
Creators: name: Fong, Stephanie Kay

description: American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) fruit are renowned for two traits; extreme sourness and their abundance of health-promoting compounds. Extreme sourness in cranberry fruit is due to the high levels of malic, citric, and quinic acids, which together contribute to titratable acidity (TA). Commercially grown cranberries have a TA of 2.3-3.0%, well over two times the amount in most edible fruits. Thus, considerable amounts of ‘added-sugar’ are necessary for palatability. In addition to citric, malic, and quinic acids, cranberry fruit also have high levels benzoic acid. While benzoic acid does not statistically contribute to TA, but has health promoting benefits. To ascertain the variation found in organic acids in existing breeding populations, four bi-parental crosses were phenotyped for malic, citric, quinic, and benzoic acids. Generally, the four organic acids displayed transgressive segregation to the parents. Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was then used to map genetic diversity within the populations. A total of 61 QTLs were identified for the four organic acids. In addition to the variation in organic acids in breeding populations, there were two accessions with unique genotypes from the germplasm collection with significantly lower citric acid (≈ 2 mg/g) (cita) and malic acid (≈ 2 mg/g) (mala). A series of crosses utilizing these accessions revealed that cita and mala are independently segregating Mendelian loci. A bulked segregant approach with simple sequence repeats (SSRs), then a QTL identification approach with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) generated through GBS was used to fine map these two traits. Two SSR markers and one SNP marker were identified for the cita locus while two SNP markers were identified for the mala locus. The cita trait had multiple alleles contributing to differential levels of citric acid concentrations depending on the parent, e.g. Stevens or #35. Both the cita and mala traits exhibit partial dominance. In two dihybrid crosses with both cita and mala, an epistatic effect was between these two traits. There was a significant effect of the cita alleles on increasing malic acid concentration while the presence of mala alleles reduced both citric and malic acid concentrations. This work determined the inheritance and variation of organic acids as well as developed molecular markers linked with low citric and low malic acid traits. These markers will be used for marker assisted selection to accelerate the breeding process of cranberry.

Diagnosis: Size about 1/30”’. Peduncle with half the body size. Bell-shaped body. Cytoplasm with a bluish gray coloration.
Remarks: diagnosis compiled from the work of Perty (1852) and Kahl (1935). According to Perty (1852), this species is similar to Scyphidia ringens Müller, 1773. According to Kahl (1935), the original author did not compile enough information, but analyzing the drawing there is no doubt that it is a different species. The 1/30”” size was not changed to the standard measurement (µm), because there was no reference to perform the conversion.

Evaluating the impact trigger hypothesis for the onset of the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: We investigate whether an extraterrestrial impact could produce changes in atmospheric chemistry sufficient to produce the 5°C global temperature rise observed at the onset of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a major global warming event in Earth history that occurred approximately 55.8 million years ago (Ma) [Charles et al., 2014]. We calculated greenhouse gas production stemming from both asteroidal and cometary impacts for impactors with radii of 2.5 km or 5 km, and impact angles perpendicular to the surface. We examined a range of processes such as fireball-induced combustion and associated release of biogenic carbon, the deposition of carbon and water directly from the impactor, the massive vaporization of water due to a deep oceanic impact, and the production of NO via a hypervelocity impactor's path through the atmosphere and subsequent O_3 production. We then convert the global warming potential (GWP) of the greenhouse gases produced in our calculations into GWP equivalent of CO_2 and use the resulting values to compute the estimated global increase in temperature for each hypothetical impact. Our most powerful impacts could potentially increase the global temperature by up to 4.69°C. This amount of warming is very close to what is inferred from paleoclimate records. We suggest that a purely perpendicular impact in our modeled size range is unlikely, yet plausible, to produce the required GWP equivalent of CO_2 to result in a 5°C rise in global temperatures. However, future work may be conducted to study whether changes in impact angle may produce higher amounts of greenhouse gases and potentially be responsible for the abrupt warming experienced at the PETM boundary.
