description: In this work a series of analyses are performed on ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations of a hydrated excess proton in water to quantify the relative occurrence of concerted hopping events and rattling events, and thus to further elucidate the hopping mechanism of proton transport in water. Contrary to results reported in certain earlier papers, the new analysis finds that concerted hopping events do occur in all simulations, but that the majority of events are the product of proton rattling, where the excess proton will rattle between two or more waters. The results are consistent with the proposed special-pair dance model of the hydrated excess proton, wherein the acceptor water molecule for the proton transfer will quickly change (resonate between three equivalent special pairs) until a decisive proton hop occurs. To remove the misleading effect of simple rattling, a filter was applied to the trajectory such that hopping events that were followed by back hops to the original water are not counted. A steep reduction in the number of multiple hopping events is found when the filter is applied, suggesting that many multiple hopping events that occur in the unfiltered trajectory are largely the product of rattling, contrary to prior suggestions. Comparing the continuous correlation function of the filtered and unfiltered trajectories, we find agreement with experimental values for the proton hopping time and Eigen-Zundel interconversion time, respectively.

description: Simulations of the discrete Boltzmann Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation are an important tool for understanding fluid dynamics in non-continuum regimes. Here, we introduce a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) for spatial discretization of the discrete Boltzmann equation for isothermal flows with Knudsen numbers (Kn~O(1)). In conjunction with a high-order Runge-Kutta time marching scheme, this method is capable of achieving high-order accuracy in both space and time, while maintaining a compact stencil. We validate the spatial order of accuracy of the scheme on a two-dimensional Couette flow with Kn = 1 and the D2Q16 velocity discretization. We then apply the scheme to lid-driven micro-cavity flow at Kn = 1, 2, and 8, and we compare the ability of Gauss-Hermite (GH) and Newton-Cotes (NC) velocity sets to capture the high non-linearity of the flow-field. While GH quadrature provides higher integration strength with fewer points, the NC quadrature has more uniformly distributed nodes with weights greater than machine-zero, helping to avoid the so-called ray-effect. Broadly speaking, we anticipate that the insights from this work will help facilitate the efficient implementation and application of high-order numerical methods for complex high Knudsen number flows.

title: Das Spanienbild in den Reiseberichten der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts am Beispiel von Wilhelm zu Löwenstein und Alexander Ziegler
Creators: name: Auer, Daniela
Year: 2008

description: Die Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit zwei ausgewählten Reiseberichten der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, nämlich Wilhelm zu Löwensteins "Ausflug von Lissabon nach Andalusien und in den Norden von Marokko im Frühjahr 1845" und Alexander Zieglers "Reise in Spanien. Mit Berücksichtigung der national-ökonomischen Interessen". Nach Kapiteln über die Geschichte des Reisens und die Gattung des Reiseberichts folgt ein kurzer historischer Überblick über die Situation in Deutschland und Spanien im 19. Jahrhundert. In einem Exkurs werden die Auswirkungen der "Schwarzen Legende", jener Wahrnehmung Spaniens als düsteres und rückständiges Land, behandelt. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit werden die beiden genannten Reiseberichte genau auf deren Spanienbild untersucht. Nach der Schilderung des Inhalts und des formalen Aufbaus folgt die Untersuchung des im Text dargestellten Spanienbildes. Anhand von im Text vorkommenden Menschendarstellungen und Kultur- und Naturbeschreibungen wird versucht, das vorherrschende Bild von Spanien zusammenzufassen. Abschließend werden die beiden Reiseberichte in Bezug auf deren Spanienbild verglichen. Man kann feststellen, dass die beiden Reiseberichte recht unterschiedlich sind. Löwensteins Bericht ist sehr subjektiv, es geht ihm mehr um die Festhaltung persönlicher Eindrücke, was sich auch in seiner Spaniendarstellung zeigt. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Zieglers Reisebericht um sachliche Vollständigkeit in der Beschreibung Spaniens bemüht. Zieglers Ziel als Geograf war es, das Land und seine Kuturschätze so genau wie möglich zu schildern, zum Teil mithilfe von Statistiken.

description: Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question, it’s important to know if these planets represent the broader population of sub-Neptunes, and to quantify the range of possible sub-Neptune atmosphere types. A first step is to constrain the volatile atmospheric mass fractions of more small planets, which requires precise planetary masses and radii. For near-resonant multi-planet systems exhibiting transit timing variations (TTVs), we can measure these planetary bulk densities. TESS has detected many such systems and obtained an initial set of TTVs, which we use as the basis for extensive follow-up. We have combined dozens of ground-based transits with TESS data to characterize six multi-planet M dwarf systems. Our preliminary survey results reveal several new small volatile-rich worlds, including some that are top candidates for atmospheric characterization with JWST and some of the coldest known volatile-rich rocky planets.

The Effects of Urbanization on Tick Parasitism Rates in Birds of Southeastern Virginia
Creators: name: Heller, Erin Leigh
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The coastal region of southeastern Virginia is one of the largest urban areas along one of North America’s migratory flyways. Because hundreds of avian species use this flyway, understanding factors affecting birds and their health is of paramount concern. Within this region, 14 species of ticks have been documented, all of which may serve as vectors of mammal (including human) pathogens. By sampling birds at sites of varying levels of urbanization within the coastal southeastern urban matrix, I studied the relationship between ticks and their avian hosts, and how this relationship varies seasonally. Mistnets were set-up at five permanent sites and six ad-hoc sites between August 2012 and August 2014 to sample ticks from both migratory and resident birds. During this time, 1886 birds were sampled, and 943 ticks were collected from avian hosts. These ticks were later identified to species in order to determine species-specific avian hosts. Field sites were ranked qualitatively and then quantitatively using national land cover data and ArcGIS in order to determine how urban each site was relative to others; the proportion of birds with ticks was greater at less urbanized (more rural) sites. Percent impervious surface and season played an important role in predicting tick parasitism rates, as did bird life history traits, such as foraging and nesting behavior. The most common life stage and tick species collected from birds were larval rabbit ticks (Haemaphysalis leporispalustris), followed by larval bird ticks (Ixodes brunneus). This study demonstrates how levels of urbanization can influence tick parasitism rates on birds and increases knowledge of the corresponding relationship between urbanization and disease prevalence, which ultimately could affect human health risks.
title: Ultrastruktur und immunzytochemische Untersuchungen an Lymphozyten (unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von NK-Zellen) bei Fischen
Creators: name: Ficenc, Angelika
Year: 2008

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden anhand ultrastruktureller Methoden Lymphozyten aus den Rumpfnieren von Karpfen (Cyprinus carpio L.), Spiegelkarpfen (Cyprinus carpio carpio), Goldfisch (Carassius auratus) und Giebel (Carassius auratus gibelio, L.) auf morphologische Unterschiede untersucht und so von den übrigen Leukozyten der Niere abgegrenzt. Aufgrund des Vorkommens zytoplasmatischer elektronendichter Granula wurden diese Lymphozyten in agranuläre (vesikuläre) Vorläuferzellen, granuläre Lymphozyten-Typ 1 und granuläre Lymphozyten-Typ 2 unterteilt. Im Unterschied zu den granulären Lymphozyten-Typ 1, welche neben elektronendichten Granula auch elektronenhelle Vesikel und sog. Zwischenformen im Zytoplasma der Zellen ausbilden, zeigten sich in den granulierten bzw. lysosomenartigen Vesikel der granulären Lymphozyten-Typ 2 teils elektronendichte, rund bis kristalloid oder hexagonal geformte, aber auch fibrilläre Einschlüsse. Um das Auftreten von Calreticulin, welches in Säuger-NK-Zellen als Komponente zytotoxischer Granula u.a. an der Freisetzung zytotoxischer Effektorsubstanzen beteiligt ist, in diesen charakteristischen Granula nachzuweisen, wurden immunzytochemische Untersuchungen mit anti-Calreticulin- Antikörpern durchgeführt. Neben einer relativ schwachen Reaktion in den Typ 1- Lymphozyten zeigte sich in den granulierten Typ 2-Lymphozyten eine besonders starke CRT-Reaktion an großen, meist einzeln liegenden hexagonal geformten elektronendichten Einschlüssen. Der Nachweis von CRT in diesen elektronendichten kristalloiden Einschlüssen stützt hiermit die Hypothese, dass es sich bei ebendiesen granuliertem Lymphozytentyp um NK-Zellen handelt.
A Household Daily Non-Mandatory Activity Participation and Duration Modeling Accounting for Person Level Budget Constraints
Creators: name: Vukovic, Ivana
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Librarues
Year: 2017

description: A key methodological and behavioral innovative component in recent Activity-Based Models (ABMs) used for transportation planning is the household-level non-mandatory activity participation component. While traditional ABMs use a series of simple models to predict non-mandatory activity participation decisions in a sequential manner (which is often not correct), the Multiple Discrete Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) model can model both individual and joint non-mandatory activity participation and time allocation decisions in different out-of-home activities of all household members simultaneously. A key advantage of the MDCEV framework is that it accounts for complex intra-household interactions among different household members by allocating the total household time available in a day to different household members in a utility-consistent manner. However, the earlier time-use models worked with a single household level time budget constraint. So, the model ensures consistency of time predictions with the total household available time but it can violate person level budget constraints. The primary objective of this thesis is to enhance the behavioral and prediction accuracy of the MDCEV model in the time-use context by developing an improved model that handles multiple person level budget constraints.

description: Ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs) offer unique opportunities to study processes under strong electromagnetic fields. In these collisions, highly charged fast-moving ions carry strong electromagnetic fields that can be effectively treated as photon fluxes. The exchange of photons can induce photonuclear and two-photon interactions, and excite ions. This excitation of the ions results in Coulomb dissociation with the emission of photons, neutrons, and other particles. Additionally, the electromagnetic fields generated by the ions can be sufficiently strong to enforce mutual interactions between the two colliding ions. Consequently, the two colliding ions experienced an electromagnetic force that pushed them in opposite directions, causing a back-to-back correlation in the emitted neutrons. Using a Monte Carlo simulation, we qualitatively demonstrated that the above electromagnetic effect is large enough to be observed in UPCs, which would provide a clear means to study strong electromagnetic fields and their effects.

description: Solid-phase epitaxy (SPE) and other three-dimensional epitaxial crystallization processes pose challenging structural and chemical characterization problems. The concentration of defects, the spatial distribution of elastic strain, and the chemical state of ions each vary with nanoscale characteristic length scales and depend sensitively on the gas environment and elastic boundary conditions during growth. The lateral or three-dimensional propagation of crystalline interfaces in SPE has nanoscale or submicron characteristic distances during typical crystallization times. An in situ synchrotron hard x-ray instrument allows these features to be studied during deposition and crystallization using diffraction, resonant scattering, nanobeam and coherent diffraction imaging, and reflectivity. The instrument incorporates a compact deposition system allowing the use of short-working-distance x-ray focusing optics. Layers are deposited using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering and evaporation sources. The deposition system provides control of the gas atmosphere and sample temperature. The sample is positioned using a stable mechanical design to minimize vibration and drift and employs precise translation stages to enable nanobeam experiments. Results of in situ x-ray characterization of the amorphous thin film deposition process for a SrTiO3/BaTiO3 multilayer illustrate implementation of this instrument.

description: A conceptual model for targeted particle delivery is proposed using controlled vortex ring reconnection. Entrained particles can be efficiently transported within the core of the vortex ring which is propelled via self-induction. A pair of these particle-transporting vortices travelling in the streamwise direction along parallel trajectories will mutually interact resulting in vortex reconnection. The reconnection causes a topological change to the vortex rings which is accompanied by a rapid repulsion in a perpendicular plane to the direction of travel; effectively, transporting the particles to the desired delivery site on the sidewalls. This work explains the physics of the process and the considerations for targeted delivery.

FULL ABSTRACT:


No matter what tool you use in your online classroom it is about student engagement and synergistic learning. The role of the instructor involves connecting students with the content in an effort to bring it to life. In online learning this connection can be lost if learning and assessment activities are not designed properly. It is important be intentional about the content and the scaffolding of the material.  Blackboard and other learning management systems provide many options and tools to create engaging content.  Yet many of these tools take significant time investment on the part of the instructor to create while the more imaginative tools require some technology knowledge and capability.




The members of the proposed panel are all participants in the SOUPR course development program and have gained valuable insight and knowledge about creating engaging course content.  Each panel member will address a separate tool or topic that is of interest/use to faculty from across the university.  Individual topics include:




Katherine Rosenbusch, Assistant Professor, Management – Integrating Outside Resources


Using outside resources can enhance the learning experience for the student. There are several tools and resources that can be utilized to enrich your course including McGraw Hill Connect, Smartbook, Cengage Learning Mindlinks, CourseMate, Mindtap, and others. As instructors, it's important for us to understand that there is so much more to students than the life they lead in class, and it is important to show interest in a student and connect the content to their life. These tools can assist in making that connection.

description: We study the connection between discrete Morse theory and persistent homology in the context of shape reconstruction methods. Specifically, we consider the construction of Wrap complexes, introduced by Edelsbrunner as a subcomplex of the Delaunay complex, and the construction of lexicographic optimal homologous cycles, also considered by Cohen-Steiner, Lieutier, and Vuillamy in a similar setting. We show that for any cycle in a Delaunay complex for a given radius parameter, the lexicographically optimal homologous cycle is supported on the Wrap complex for the same parameter, thereby establishing a close connection between the two methods. We obtain this result by establishing a fundamental connection between reduction of cycles in the computation of persistent homology and gradient flows in the algebraic generalization of discrete Morse theory.

Large-Lecture Participation via (Free) Pytania Student Response System
Creators: name: Snyder, Mark
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: student engagement; active learning

description: In large lecture courses, encouraging participation is challenging. Pytania is a Student Response System (under development and testing at GMU) that collects students' responses and shows graphs of student responses. It encourages practice and exploration; it guides class discussions by uncovering common misconceptions. We can track students' course-long participation history. Students can also use completed questions as review materials for test preparation. The intended use is to offer a batch of 3-5 questions on a new topic, covering both common and special cases. Students can compare results, discuss, run the example code (in our programming course), and use any means of exploration to choose an answer. They submit answers on any web-enabled device. After time is up, we lock answers, and show the results to discuss, as well as a bar-graph of students' responses. The tool currently offers the following styles of questions: (a) open-response (text), (b) numeric (integer or float), (c) true/false, (d) multiple choice, and (e) multiple answer. Often, the best questions are open-ended and have a single correct answer, such as "what is printed when we run this code?" Another useful style of question is the multiple-answer prompt. We show a "sentiment graph" that colors each option as correct(green) or incorrect(red), with a bar proportional to number of student responses. This quickly identifies correct options that few students chose, or incorrect options that many students chose. It also serves as a great repository for study questions when questions are left in review-mode.

Wonder-Infused Pedagogy: Bringing Joy Back into Learning
Creators: name: Gilbert, Andrew
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: active learning; student engagement

description: The work of wonder, as a pedagogical tool, draws from a long history and tradition in the sciences and philosophy, as evidenced by writings of scientists such as Feynman, Einstein and Carson as well as numerous philosophers such as Plato, Descartes and Coleridge. Wonder places the human experience at the center of that inquiry process as opposed to the science content itself. Forging a pedagogy of wonder demands connection to the emotive embodiment of science as a uniquely human process that nurtures our intense need to know. In addition, we can utilize abstract science ideas to elicit and evoke emotive connections to those scientific ideas (Hadzigergiou, 2016). This classroom effort endeavored to engage adult science learners in meaningful science content as a method to rekindle the aesthetic spirit of wondering about the world. As such, it will highlight the work of CEHD students’ engagement with wonder journaling, sketching wonders, utilizing digital capabilities and the culminating event of a wonder fair. This presentation will also articulate possibilities for practice across a broad array of university contexts.

Exploring Complex Relationships through the Use of Historical Case Studies

Year: 2018
Subjects: active learning; student engagement

description: These are some ideas that we use in the Business and Society course, specifically the sections we teach to INTO Mason students. This particular group of students does not have a background or experience in United States business, and this course is in reality Business in the U. S. society, and our course content is derived from a U.S. textbook. We concluded as a faculty team that students would better understand the complex and dynamic business-societal relationships if we carried our core objectives with historical examples in our curriculum. For example, at the beginning of the semester, one assignment requires each student to research a different prominent U.S. businessman from the past, such as Andrew Carnegie, J.P. Morgan and Lee Iacocca, who had formative impacts on the current aspects of the relationships U.S. businesses have with society today. Similarly, we build our argument about the history of corporate social responsibility drawing on the comparison between how early U.S. business enterprises operated at their inception with what they do today, focusing on companies such as King Arthur Flour and Jim Beam Bourbon. Specifically, we ask students to track the various business challenges these companies have undergone to meet their customer demand during their hundreds of years of operation and to examine historical shifts in societal values that influence the configuration and power of these US corporations today. In separate assignments, we explore topics ranging from the role of corporations in politics to the consumer rights movement that has evolved during the past century. Within each topic we require our students to compare and contrast how things are done in the U.S. with what is happening in their own country. We could include representative positive exemplars from these assignments to display the sorts of insights our approach generates.

Graphop Mean-Field Limits and Synchronization for the Stochastic Kuramoto Model

description: Models of coupled oscillator networks play an important role in describing collective synchronization dynamics in biological and technological systems. The Kuramoto model describes oscillator's phase evolution and explains the transition from incoherent to coherent oscillations under simplifying assumptions including all-to-all coupling with uniform strength. Real world networks, however, often display heterogeneous connectivity and coupling weights that influence the critical threshold for this transition. We formulate a general mean field theory (Vlasov-Focker Planck equation) for stochastic Kuramoto-type phase oscillator models, valid for coupling graphs/networks with heterogeneous connectivity and coupling strengths, using graphop theory in the mean field limit. Considering symmetric odd-valued coupling functions, we mathematically prove an exact formula for the critical threshold for the incoherence-coherence transition. We numerically test the predicted threshold using large finite-size representations of the network model. For a large class of graph models, we find that the numerical tests agree very well with the predicted threshold obtained from mean field theory. However, the prediction is more difficult in practice for graph structures that are sufficiently sparse. Our findings open future research avenues toward a deeper understanding of mean-field theories for heterogeneous systems.

Year: 2018
Subjects: active learning

description: Nearpod, a web 2.0 tool, breathes new life into existing PowerPoint and multimedia slideshows. This tool enables instructors to incorporate activities that promote student engagement within their existing materials. Students are able to answer open ended questions, participate in quizzes, draw and diagram responses using any web-enabled mobile device. Additionally, students can participate in VR experiences, 3D simulations, and other types of multimedia immersive opportunities through the use of this resource. Nearpod lessons can be teacher or student paced, which is ideal for in-person, hybrid, or online instruction. When students engage in the content and respond to questions, quizzes, or polls, instructors are provided immediate feedback. In turn, instructors can share with the class and provide feedback with the students.

Once lessons are created, instructors can share content with colleagues, building content-based libraries for future use. Nearpod integrates well with a plethora of technologies like Google Apps for Education and Microsoft. Nearpod partners with curriculum content providers to offer a myriad of lessons that already exist for instructor use. Instructors can preview the material and remix to meet the needs of their students.

Nearpod also provides detailed reports and analytics which can be used ideally to drive instruction and make sound data driven decisions. One can take a holistic view of the data and drill down information by question or by student. Instructors can download reports and share them with others if necessary.
