description: Electroencephalography (EEG) offers non-invasive, real-time mental workload assessment, which is crucial in high-stakes domains like aviation and medicine and for advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies. This study introduces a customized ConvNeXt architecture, a powerful convolutional neural network, specifically adapted for EEG analysis. ConvNeXt addresses traditional EEG challenges like high dimensionality, noise, and variability, enhancing the precision of mental workload classification. Using the STEW dataset, the proposed ConvNeXt model is evaluated alongside SVM, EEGNet, and TSception on binary (No vs SIMKAP task) and ternary (SIMKAP multitask) class mental workload tasks. Results demonstrated that ConvNeXt significantly outperformed the other models, achieving accuracies of 95.76% for binary and 95.11% for multi-class classification. This demonstrates ConvNeXt's resilience and efficiency for EEG data analysis, establishing new standards for mental workload evaluation. These findings represent a considerable advancement in EEG-based mental workload estimation, laying the foundation for future improvements in cognitive state measurements. This has broad implications for safety, efficiency, and user experience across various scenarios. Integrating powerful neural networks such as ConvNeXt is a critical step forward in non-invasive cognitive monitoring.

Inspiratory muscle strength in adults with stable cystic fibrosis
Creators: name: Dekerlegand, Robert
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Introduction:  The work of breathing (WOB) imposed on the inspiratory muscles (IM) is elevated in cystic fibrosis (CF).  Impaired inspiratory muscle strength (IMS) may contribute to dyspnea and exercise intolerance.  Literature favors the preservation of (IMS) in adults with CF; however, this may misrepresent IM involvement due to the heterogeneity of study participants.  Impaired IMS cannot be fully ruled out as the influence of disease severity has not been investigated.  Clinical predictors of IMS in adults with CF are needed to identify individuals at risk for inspiratory overload.      Purpose:  The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of disease severity on IMS and determine the potential for clinical measures to predict IMS in adults with stable CF.    Methods:  Maximal inspiratory pressure expressed in cmH2O (MIP) and percent of predicted (%MIP) was assessed to represent IMS in a cross-sectional sample of adults with stable CF.  Between-group differences in MIP and %MIP were analyzed in adults with CF stratified by disease severity in comparison to healthy controls through general linear modelling. The ability for clinical measures to predict IMS was investigated through regression analysis.    Results:  Fifty-eight adults with CF and 20 healthy controls completed the study.  IMS was decreased in advanced pulmonary disease.  Dyspnea was associated with MIP (r=-0.48, p<0.001) and %MIP (r=-0.50, p<0.001).  Disease severity accounted for 23% of the variance seen in MIP and %MIP after controlling for confounding variables (p<0.001).  Resultant linear models explained 43% of the variance in MIP and 52% in %MIP.      Conclusions:  Disease severity negatively influences IMS in adults with CF and impaired IMS can be missed when not controlling for the degree of airway obstruction.  Decreased IMS is apparent in the presence of advanced CF-related lung disease though select individuals may be protected against this impairment.  A combination of pulmonary, nutritional, and demographic factors may identify adults with CF at risk for inspiratory overload in need of IM testing.  The clinical significance of these findings should be determined through prospective studies. Future research on the IM in CF must control for disease severity or risk misrepresenting the influence of CF lung disease.

description: This dissertation is a program evaluation to investigate the Grants and funding program of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), as it specifically relates to research in massage therapy. This paper evaluated whether the funding program, relative to massage therapy, effectively supported the stated mission of NCCAM, to define, through rigorous scientific investigation, the usefulness and safety of massage therapy and its role in improving health care. NCCAM’s funding areas of special interest, involving the public’s usage, as well as pain and inflammatory conditions, were also evaluated.        Massage research study designs were assessed for overall quality by using the JADAD scale. Results showed seventeen out of thirty-two studies (53%) scored 3, which is considered good quality. To assess both efficacy and safety, a PICO Table consisting of NIH funded massage research clinical trials was included. The analysis showed that 27 out of 28 clinical trials showed significantly positive results for the groups receiving the massage therapy intervention. No adverse effects were reported as a result of any of these studies. It appears that massage therapy is safe for the conditions that were investigated and with the protocols used in the clinical trials when performed by certified or licensed massage therapists.        Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to compare percentages of funding of topics with percentages of the public’s reported reasons for their usage of massage. Based in this assessment, no correlation between the public’s usage and NIH funding of research topics was found. However, funding in massage topics for pain and inflammatory conditions was over 50% of the annual funding in 9 out of the 13 years reviewed. It was concluded that the NCCAM funding program is consistent with its mission statement and funding areas of special interest.

description: During a myocardial ischemic event, acute occlusion sets in motion cell necrosis and myocardial tissue injury referred to as a myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury. The resultant injury is triggered by an immunological response of which a major contributor involves the complement cascade of innate immune system involving mannose binding lectin (MBL). Few anti-complement therapeutics however have been approved for clinical use. Those studies to date have involved extensive whole genome expression in murine models of MI/R injury to assist in drug target elucidation. Studies performed have examined genomic traits and expression of mouse MBL (mMBL), which is not one hundred percent homologous to human mannose binding lectin (hMBL).  In this study, novel hMBL+/+ mice treated with a novel mAb 3F8 were protected from MI/R injury as measured by area at risk and myocardial infarct staining when compared to control mice. Whole genome expression with the use of microarray was performed between hMBL mice undergoing MI/R treated with either a novel recombinant mAb 3F8 or mAb 1C10 as control. Mice treated with mAb 3F8 compared to mice treated with 1C10 revealed a significant down regulation in uncharacterized genes of the lncRNA family. Molecular modeling was used to study the three dimensional structural characteristics of mAb 3F8 recognition of hMBL. Within the hinge region of hMBL three possible locations were identified for the mAb 3F8 epitope for hMBL. These structurally similar locations offer possible insight into the ability of mAb 3F8 in protecting against MI/R injuries. These findings will assist in better understanding the genomic role hMBL in MI/R, the ability of a novel murine mAb 3F8 to modulate those effects and aide in continued drug target elucidation.

description: Suppose you have a family of Lagrangian submanifolds $L_t$ and an auxiliary Lagrangian $K$. Suppose that $K$ intersects some of the $L_t$ more than the minimal number of times. Can you eliminate surplus intersection (surplusection) with all fibres by performing a Hamiltonian isotopy of $K$? Or will any Lagrangian isotopic to $K$ surplusect some of the fibres? We argue that in several important situations, surplusection cannot be eliminated, and that a better understanding of surplusection phenomena (better bounds and a clearer understanding of how the surplusection is distributed in the family) would help to tackle some outstanding problems in different areas, including Oh's conjecture on the volume-minimising property of the Clifford torus and the concurrent normals conjecture in convex geometry. We pose many open questions.

Factors affecting midwives' decision to offer complementary and alternative medicine/non pharmacological pain relief methods for labor and birth
Creators: name: Hyatt, Joyce

Year: 2014

description: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which includes evidence-based nonpharmacological pain relief methods, are known to be effective in reducing labor pain and should be available for women who desire them. Unfortunately, these methods are not always offered as options to women in some birth settings. The purpose of this study is to examine how factors/characteristics of the birth setting environment influence a midwife’s decision to offer CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods to their patients in labor.  Extensive literature review indicates that certain factors/characteristics in the birth setting environment (policies/protocols, the level of technology, knowledge and beliefs of healthcare providers, and the relationship of the midwife with the collaborating obstetrician) influence a midwife’s decision to offer CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods in labor and birth.  A convenience sample of midwives (n=520), members of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), were surveyed via Survey Monkey using a Likert-scale type 51-item questionnaire developed for this study. Midwives were assigned to one of three primary birth settings for data analysis: hospital, birthing center, home birth. Findings indicate that knowledge and beliefs of other healthcare providers (nurses, physicians/residents, midwives) most influence the midwives’ decision to use CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods in labor in all three birth settings. Midwives working in settings with high technology use report that such an environment influences their decision to use CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief in labor. A midwife’s relationship with the collaborating obstetricians was not seen as a major  influence on the use of CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods in labor and birth. There are statistically significant differences in the use of specific CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods and specific pharmacological pain relief methods across the three birth settings.  The findings indicate that although some factors/characteristics of the birth setting environment influence a midwife’s decision to offer CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods in labor, they do not prevent midwives from using most of these alternatives during labor and birth. It would appear that the midwives’ philosophy of care more than the factors/characteristics of the birth setting environment influence their decision to use CAM/nonpharmacological pain relief methods in labor and birth.
Tools for genetic data management and strategies for optimized imputation of missing genotypes
Creators: name: Kuo, Fengshen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: This dissertation includes two main areas of research. The first focuses on the design and development of a genetic study data management and analysis system that aims to ease the burden of dealing with the very large amounts of genetic linkage and association study data from high throughput genotyping platforms and to facilitate the integration of data from multiple sources. The Genetic Study Database (GSD) system is designed to provide security in data transmission and user management, flexibility in study data management and simplicity in user interface operations.    The second area of research focuses on the imputation of inherited genetic polymorphisms or rare variants. Since 2001, with the advent of high throughput sequencing technologies, the cost of sequencing an entire human genome has dropped from 100 million dollars to less than five thousand dollars per genome. Nevertheless, it is still too costly to obtain whole genome sequencing data for every individual in a research study involving thousands of subjects. Genotype imputation, also called in-silico genotyping, is a cost-effective and efficient way to maximize genome coverage in an association study for little or no additional cost. Depending on the type of genetic study, there are two approaches for doing genotype imputation: population-based and family-based. Both are covered in the research reported here.    The population-based approach takes advantage of publicly available genotype reference panels in predicting genotypes of unobserved variants among unrelated individuals. Here, the focus will be on optimizing the post-imputation filtering strategy to find the appropriate balance in the tradeoff between accuracy and the yield of the imputation process (i.e., maximize the number of genotypes imputed). The family-based approach leverages the rich information available in a pedigree to increase power for imputing genotypes of unobserved variants among biological relatives. When performing family-based imputation, it is important to decide how many family members and which family members to select for high density variant genotyping. Their data will be used to predict genotypes of other family members. Therefore, one aim of this part of the research will be to evaluate different family-based imputation designs to identify cost-effective strategies.    This dissertation includes three chapters: 1) designing and building a sophisticated web-based genetic study data management system, 2) identifying an optimized set of genotype/SNP filters for population-based imputation, and 3) discovering the most efficient family-based imputation strategies for various pedigree structures.

description: The Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Endangered and Nongame Species Program (ENSP) biologists and volunteer observers located and monitored bald eagle nests and territories. A new record high of 84 eagle pairs was monitored during the nesting season; 69 of those were active (with eggs). Nine pairs were territorial and six other pairs were seen in and around previous nest territories, but it was unknown if and where they nested. New Jersey’s Delaware Bay region remained the state’s eagle stronghold, with 40 percent of all nests located in Cumberland and Salem counties. Twelve new eagle pairs were found this season, six in the south, two in central and four in northern NJ. Fifty-six nests were successful in producing 99 young, for a productivity rate of 1.43 young per active nest. ENSP staff banded and took blood samples from 30 eaglets at 16 nests. Ten nests failed to fledge young; the outcome of one nest was unknown. For three nests we could attribute the failures to weather (2) and a nest collapse (1). In January’s Midwinter Eagle Survey, ENSP staff, regional coordinators and volunteers reported a total of 282 bald eagles, a new record high count. Forty-two eagles were recorded in northern NJ and 240 in the south. The state’s eagle population would not be thriving without the efforts of the dedicated eagle volunteers who observe nests, report sightings, and help protect critical habitat.

description: Driver drowsiness is identified as a critical factor in road accidents, necessitating robust detection systems to enhance road safety. This study proposes a driver drowsiness detection system, DrowzEE-G-Mamba, that combines Electroencephalography (EEG) with State Space Models (SSMs). EEG data, known for its sensitivity to alertness, is used to model driver state transitions between alert and drowsy. Compared to traditional methods, DrowzEE-G-Mamba achieves significantly improved detection rates and reduced false positives. Notably, it achieves a peak accuracy of 83.24% on the SEED-VIG dataset, surpassing existing techniques. The system maintains high accuracy across varying complexities, making it suitable for real-time applications with limited resources. This robustness is attributed to the combination of channel-split, channel-concatenation, and channel-shuffle operations within the architecture, optimizing information flow from EEG data. Additionally, the integration of convolutional layers and SSMs facilitates comprehensive analysis, capturing both local features and long-range dependencies in the EEG signals. These findings suggest the potential of DrowzEE-G-Mamba for enhancing road safety through accurate drowsiness detection. It also paves the way for developing powerful SSM-based AI algorithms in Brain-Computer Interface applications.

description: The decline of the peregrine falcon in the eastern U.S. has been linked to persistent organochlorine pesticide contamination. The eastern population plunged from 350 active sites in the 1940's to no active breeding birds in 1964. Recovery efforts began in 1975 after DDT was banned in the U.S. The NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Peregrine Fund first hacked falcons in 1975 and continued at several sites until pairs established territories. In New Jersey, the recovery goal is consistent, successful nesting by 8-10 pairs. In 2005, the NJ peregrine falcon population grew slightly to 20 pairs. A remote, motion-activated camera was used to photograph peregrines as they entered their nests. The highlight of 2005 was successful nesting in natural cliff habitat formerly devoid of peregrines since about 1950. Nest success was good at 75%, and 20 active pairs fledged 42 young. Management of nesting pairs and nest sites is essential to maintain peregrines in NJ.

Remote sensing platforms like satellites, airborne platforms, and more recently dones and UAVs are used for EO. They collect large amounts of data and this needs to be downlinked to Earth for further processing and analysis. Bottleneck for such high throughput acquisition is the downlink bandwidth. Data-centric solutions to image compression is required to address this deluge. In this work, semantic compression is studied through a compressed learning framework that utilizes only fast and sparse matrix-vector multiplication to encode the data. Camera noise and a communication channel are the considered sources of distortion. The complete semantic communication pipeline then consists of a learned low-complexity compression matrix that acts on the noisy camera output to generate onboard a vector of observations that is downlinked through a communication channel, processed through an unrolled network and then fed to a deep learning model performing the necessary downstream tasks; image classification is studied. Distortions are compensated by unrolling layers of NA-ALISTA with a wavelet sparsity prior. Decoding is thus a plug-n-play approach designed according to the camera/environment information and downstream task. The deep learning model for the downstream task is jointly fine-tuned with the compression matrix and the unrolled network through the loss function in an end-to-end fashion. It is shown that addition of a recovery loss along with the task dependent losses improves the downstream performance in noisy settings at low compression ratios.

description: This study evaluated a technology-based intervention aimed at reducing injuries among young and new farmers and ranchers (YNFR) by enhancing access to critical machinery safety information. To address high injury rates linked to agricultural machinery, this project developed an educational program integrating Quick Response (QR) codes directly on equipment to teach critical maintenance and safety concepts. These codes allowed YNFRs to instantly access tailored instructional content, including video modules and maintenance checklists, via mobile devices. The content was derived from Purdue University’s "Gearing Up for Safety" curriculum and emphasized competencies such as pre-operation inspections, hazard awareness, and essential maintenance procedures.With guidance from an advisory group comprising agricultural educators, small-scale farmers, and safety experts, the project prioritized addressing common injury causes such as rollovers, entanglements, and falls. Analysis of more than 200 incident reports informed the development of QR-linked instructional materials tailored to the unique safety challenges of the YNFR demographic. This system provided accessible, reliable, and practical safety information through instructional videos, enabling users to engage with critical content directly at the point of need.Findings indicated that QR-based delivery facilitated user access to reliable, practical instruction. Participants were able to learn safer equipment handling and maintenance practices. Pre- and post-quiz results demonstrated a measurable increase in knowledge. Suggested future research could quantify the long-term impact of this approach on YNFR safety performance and behavioral change.

description: We study the dynamics of phonon-mediated qubit-qubit interactions between trapped ions in the presence of an ultracold atomic gas. By deriving and solving a master equation to describe the combined system, we show that the presence of the atoms causes the quantum gate quality to reduce because of motional decoherence. On the other hand, we calculate that the gas may be used to keep the ion crystal cold in the presence of external heating due to electric field noise. We show that tuning the atom-ion scattering length allows one to tune the cooling rate of the ions and would make it possible to temporarily reduce the effects of the gas during a quantum gate while keeping the ions cold over long timescales. In this way, the trapped ion quantum computer may be buffer gas cooled. The system may also be used for quantum-enhanced measurements of the atom-ion interactions or properties of the atomic bath.

A close look on the impact and performance of financial analysts
Creators: name: Lee, Changhee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: This dissertation consists of two essays on financial analysts’ stock recommendations. The first essay examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) report and the value of financial analysts’ stock recommendation revisions. We find that the value of stock recommendations for socially responsible companies is lower than non-socially responsible companies. Also, we show that there is an inverse relation between the level of information on CSR strengths and concerns and the value of financial analysts’ stock recommendations. Furthermore, when we focus on the sensitivity of change of CSR ratings, our result indicates that the value of stock recommendations is negatively associated with a firm’s improvement on CSR score. As a firm experiences more change in social responsibility strengths and concerns, the value of analysts’ stock recommendations decreases. Our results imply that the value of recommendation is a function of firms’ CSR ratings and the amount of information on CSR strengths and concerns. In the second essay, we hypothesize that a perception of higher ability is implicit when an analyst makes a bold recommendation, and that this self-assessment is more likely to be correct when there are few analysts covering the firm. Consistent with our hypothesis, we find that it is highly profitable to trade based on bold recommendations for firms with low analyst coverage (risk-adjusted return of 30% per year), but not bold recommendations for high coverage firms. Herding recommendations, whether for firms with low or high coverage, are not profitable. The profit from this trading strategy is related to the news released during earnings announcements.

The application of exploratory data analysis in auditing
Creators: name: Liu, Qi
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Exploratory data analysis (EDA), which originated centuries ago, is a data analysis approach that emphasizes pattern recognition and hypothesis generation from raw data. It is suggested as the first step of any data analysis task for exploring and understanding data, and has been applied in many disciplines such as Geography, Marketing, and Operations Management. However, even though EDA techniques, such as data visualization and data mining, have been used in some procedures in auditing, EDA has not been employed in auditing in a systematical way. This dissertation consists of three essays to investigate the application of EDA in audit research. The study contributes to the auditing literature by identifying the importance of EDA in auditing, proposing a framework to describe how auditors could apply EDA to auditing, and using two cases to demonstrate the benefits that auditors can gain from EDA by following the proposed framework.   The first essay identifies the value of EDA in auditing and proposes a conceptual framework to identify EDA’s potential application areas of EDA in various audit stages in both the internal and external audit cycles, describe how auditors can apply various EDA techniques to fulfill different audit purposes, and introduce a recommended process for auditors to implement EDA. In addition, this essay also discusses how EDA can be integrated into a continuous auditing system.   The second essay examines the use of EDA in an operational audit. Traditional EDA techniques, such as descriptive statistics, data transformation, and data visualization, are applied in this credit card retention case. Descriptive statistics can reveal the distribution of the data, and data visualization techniques can display the distribution in an effective way so that auditors can easily identify patterns hidden in the data. By integrating these EDA techniques in audit tests, many critical risky issues, such as negative discount, inactive representatives, and short calls, are detected.   With the rapid development of modern data analysis, EDA techniques have been greatly enriched. Besides the traditional EDA techniques, some data mining techniques can also be used to fulfill EDA tasks. The third essay investigates the application of two data mining techniques on a Medicare dataset to assess fraud risk. Specifically, this essay utilizes clustering techniques to detect abnormal Medicare claims in terms of claim payment amount and Medicare beneficiaries’ travel distances and hospital stay periods, and applies association analysis to analyze doctors’ diagnoses and performed procedures to identify abnormal combinations.    In summary, this dissertation attempts to contribute to auditing literature by identifying the value that EDA can add to auditing, and illustrating some applications to demonstrate how auditors can benefit from EDA.
