description: Diadromous fish are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic alterations in watersheds, such as road construction and the establishment of flow control areas like dams and weirs. In northern Virginia, two anadromous species of concern, Blueback Herring (Alosa aestivalis) and Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), collectively managed as river herring, rely on well-connected waterways to complete annual spawning runs from the Atlantic Ocean into inland streams. Water passage infrastructure, hereafter fish passages, are installed at road-stream intersections in order to maintain the structural integrity of roads as flow conditions fluctuate, while also supporting continued up- and downstream passage by fishes and other aquatic organisms. Successful fish passages are those that permit upstream movement by the anadromous species as they travel inland to spawn. However, little information is available surrounding which passage characteristics are most important in permitting river herring movement. This study aimed to confirm areas theorized to host river herring spawning runs in Potomac River tributaries throughout northern Virginia, while also identifying passage characteristics that promote successful upstream passage by river herring. Environmental DNA (eDNA) samples were collected at 18 road crossings, one dam, and three weirs between 2018 and 2019 to determine species presence above and below each passage. This study documented the presence of river herring in upstream reaches of 9 Potomac River tributaries previously lacking confirmation of recent use by the species. Additionally, this study found evidence to support that many currently used fish passage designs including bridges, culverts, and weirs perform equivalently in allowing the upstream movement of river herring, with the exception of large round culverts. Furthermore, environmental variables did not appear to influence river herring presence across locations evaluated, however, did influence the observed frequency of upstream passage suggesting that river herring may persist in a variety of conditions but require more specific conditions in order to move through fish passages. Understanding the variables that correspond with successful fish passage use by anadromous fish species is key to guide future management strategies and plans for the recovery of river herring populations.
title: Psychometric Properties of the Adult Scale of Hostility and Aggression: Reactive/Proactive (A-SHARP) for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
Creators: name: Rick-Betancourt, Brittney

subject: Aggression
subject: Adults
subject: Maladaptive behavior

description: Background: The Adult Scale of Hostility and Aggression: Reactive/Proactive (A-SHARP; Matlock & Aman, 2011) was developed to assess aggressive problem behaviors common in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The 52-item A-SHARP has five subscales (Verbal Aggression, Physical Aggression, Hostile Affect, Covert Aggression, and Bullying) and in addition provides a score on the degree of provocation of the exhibited aggression. Psychometric properties as reported by Matlock and Aman (2014) were very good, yet need to be corroborated. Method: In 2013, staff at a day treatment program for adults with intellectual disabilities completed ratings on the A-SHARP for all their clients (n=194) and the Behavior Problems Inventory-01 (BPI-01; Rojahn et al., 2001). The BPI-01 was also completed in 2008. The Behavior Problems Inventory-Short Form (BPI-S; Rojahn et al., 2012a) was completed in 2012. Results: Internal consistency was excellent for the A-SHARP Problem and Provocation scales (Cronbach α =.96 and .90), ranging from .76 to .93 for the five subscales. As for concurrent validity of the A-SHARP, subscale scores correlated with the 2013 BPI-01 Aggressive/Destructive Behavior frequency and severity ratings from .15 to .68 (Spearman ρ). Furthermore, regression analyses suggest that scores from the 2008 BPI-01 and the 2012 BPI-S predicted scores on the relevant A-SHARP scales. Conclusions: The A-SHARP was found to have acceptable to excellent internal consistency, while evidence for concurrent validity of select A-SHARP subscales was moderate. These findings and their implications for the assessment of aggressive behavior in adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are discussed.

description: This article compares Moscow'sand Washington's foreign policies toward the Middle East in 1982 and 2008. In 1982, Moscow and Washington each had a distinct set of friends and foes. In 2008, Washington still has a distinct set of friends and foes, but Moscow has relatively good relations with all governments and most major opposition movements in the region—the only exceptions being Al Qaeda and its affiliates. It is argued that Putin's policy toward the Middle East is not really aimed at displacing the U.S. in the region, but protecting Russia and Russian interests from Al Qaeda and its allies. Indeed, a continued American presence in the region serves to protect Russian interests in the region.

description: The operation of aircrafts depend heavily on closed-loop digital flight control systems which can be disrupted or upset by errant neutrons at aircraft flight altitudes. These upsets, called single-event upsets, range from data corruption to short circuits which can potentially cause physical damage to digital devices and unexpected behaviors in flight controls. Experiments conducted at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center consisted of irradiating an experimental flight control computer (FCC) architecture with a high intensity neutron beam while the FCC controlled a simulation of a Boeing 737. It was postulated that the upset statistics on the FCC could be fitted with a Markov model. The main objective of this research was to analyze data from the single-event upset experiments and to determine if the rate of upsets could be modeled as a homogeneous Markov chain of a specific order. The analysis was based on well known X2 hypothesis test for determining independence, stationarity, and the order of a finite Markov chain of a sequence of data. The data analyzed is a sequence of states that indicates when the FCC was under an upset condition.

description: Metabolomics, the science of extracting and analyzing small molecule metabolites from a given sample matrix, has become the method of choice for investigations ranging from environmental to human-health related issues. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers can be used to extract metabolites as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the sample headspace. VOCs were analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and were identified using Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution Identification System (AMDIS) software and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) database. This methodology was applied to differentiate alcoholic patients from healthy controls in an attempt to develop a non-invasive indication of alcoholism. Fecal samples were collected from patients after home passage (defecation into a specimen bag) and via endoscopy. These samples were used to justify endoscopy collected fecal samples, establish the extraction duration (18 hours or 20 minutes) better

description: Background The increasing abundance of neuromorphological data provides both the opportunity and the challenge to compare massive numbers of neurons from a wide diversity of sources efficiently and effectively. We implemented a modified global alignment algorithm representing axonal and dendritic bifurcations as strings of characters. Sequence alignment quantifies neuronal similarity by identifying branch-level correspondences between trees. Results The space generated from pairwise similarities is capable of classifying neuronal arbor types as well as, or better than, traditional topological metrics. Unsupervised cluster analysis produces groups that significantly correspond with known cell classes for axons, dendrites, and pyramidal apical dendrites. Furthermore, the distinguishing consensus topology generated by multiple sequence alignment of a group of neurons reveals their shared branching blueprint. Interestingly, the axons of dendritic-targeting interneurons in the rodent cortex associates with pyramidal axons but apart from the (more topologically symmetric) axons of perisomatic-targeting interneurons. Conclusions Global pairwise and multiple sequence alignment of neurite topologies enables detailed comparison of neurites and identification of conserved topological features in alignment-defined clusters. The methods presented also provide a framework for incorporation of additional branch-level morphological features. Moreover, comparison of multiple alignment with motif analysis shows that the two techniques provide complementary information respectively revealing global and local features.

description: At IPAC/Caltech, we have developed the Firefly web archive and visualization system. Used in production for the last eight years in many missions, Firefly gives the scientist significant capabilities to study data. Firefly provided the first completely web based FITS viewer as well as a growing set of tabular and plotting visualizers. Further, it will be used for the science user interface of the LSST telescope which goes online in 2021. Firefly must meet the needs of archive access and visualization for the 2021 LSST telescope and must serve astronomers beyond the year 2030. Recently, our team has faced the fact that the technology behind Firefly software was becoming obsolete. We were searching for ways to utilize the current breakthroughs in maintaining stability, testability, speed, and reliability of large web applications, which Firefly exemplifies. In the last year, we have ported the Firefly to cutting edge web technologies. Embarking on this massive overhaul is no small feat to say the least. Choosing the technologies that will maintain a forward trajectory in a future development project is always hard and often overwhelming. When a team must port 150,000 lines of code for a production-level product there is little room to make poor choices. This paper will give an overview of the most modern web technologies and lessons learned in our conversion from GWT based system to React/Redux based system.

description: La llegada del cine tanto a México como a Egipto, un año después de su invención por los hermanos Lumière (1896), coincide con el trayecto hacia la modernización en los dos países. Las producciones cinematográficas también reflejan períodos de gran desarrollo económico. Se manifiesta en las cintas tempranas nuevos temas inspirados en el encuentro entre las masas y los procesos de la modernidad como la industrialización, la urbanización y la secularización. Con la introducción del sonido, el melodrama llega a ser la variedad por excelencia de la época denominada Cine de Oro tanto en Egipto como en México. Esta tesis analiza, desde la teoría literaria y cultural, dos melodramas: El-Khataya (1962) y Nosotros los pobres (1948), investigando su función como herramienta de mediación durante épocas de grandes cambios y como forma hermenéutica de la cultura popular. ix En particular, el enfoque de esta tesis es la popularidad que logra este género en ambos países durante la Época de Oro y su papel en la construcción de industrias nacionales con una hegemonía cultural de alcance trasnacional. La influencia actual de esas cintas en la cultura popular mexicana y egipcia es igual de importante en mi análisis. Guía mi investigación el modelo de mediación de Jesús Martín-Barbero, el trabajo de Peter Brooks sobre la imaginación melodramática así como el de Viola Shafik y Joel Gordon sobre la cultura popular egipcia. El rol de las películas anteriores a la creación de un imaginario nacional es investigado a partir de las conceptualizaciones de Benedict Anderson sobre el nacionalismo. Propongo que ante la intrascendencia de los discursos tradicionales de las sociedades modernas, el melodrama viene a ser una fuente poderosa de construcción de identidades culturales, una guía moral y un instrumento de reconciliación que sitúa al sujeto moderno en una comunidad, que aunque es ficticia le proporciona un sentido de pertenencia. Asimismo, la visión maniquea de las tramas del melodrama, de dualidades enfrentadas, facilita su representación de corrientes políticas, económicas y sociales opuestas. La complejidad de la forma cinematográfica del melodrama y en particular su capacidad de captar multitud de aspectos, y recuperar y perpetuar imágenes y tradiciones de la cultura popular la convierte en una producción artística que debe ser evaluada más allá del análisis superficial que suele recibir.

description: We are in the midst of a transition in the way that computing resources are obtained in the sciences. Cloud-based architectures play an increasing role in scientific processing as well as scientific communication, leveraging the considerable technical investment in these platforms. Typically astronomers have believed that the economics drive them away from this model, however these calculations often fall short of the total cost of delivering computing infrastructure. Moreover there is often

a false dichotomy between commercial cloud services (like Amazon Web Services) and traditional bare-metal “special snowflake” hardware; privately deployed clouds (such as university OpenStack clusters) represent a path forward with many of the technological advantages of working in an open standardized infrastructure while avoiding some of the direct costs of the commercial clouds. Here we describe how we have navigated some of these issues in the context of engineering the LSST Data Management’s developer infrastructure, which includes a cross-platform cloud-based continuous integration architecture.

description: Many studies aimed at assessing human attitudes towards and negative interactions (conflicts) with carnivores, such as wolves (Canis lupus) and bears (Ursus arctos), have been conducted throughout the world. Although villagers in Armenia have reported conflicts with these species and the government recently introduced a wolf-culling program, no such attitude studies had been conducted in Armenia. In an effort to understand more about human attitudes and interactions with these species in Armenia, 23 rural communities were surveyed using focus groups and interviews in July 2012. The types and locations of conflicts that villagers reported experiencing with wolves and bears, the mitigation measures currently being used by villagers, and their attitudes towards wolves, bears and wildlife management policies were documented. Differences were found in the severity and types of conflicts experienced by villagers across the surveyed communities, but no social or geographic variables were identified to explain the variation. Conflicts with wolves centered on wolves attacking livestock, namely cows and sheep, and domestic animals, namely horse and dogs. Conflicts with bears mainly involved damage to orchards, crops, beehives, fences and livestock. Over half of the surveyed communities described a sense of frustration and defenselessness because of a lack of support from the government and an overall difficulty with managing conflicts. Participation in the wolf-culling program was very low and attitudes towards wildlife management policies were mostly negative. Current wildlife management policies in Armenia are not effective in helping communities deal with human-wildlife conflicts, and conflicts with wildlife seem to be further exacerbated by conflicts with management policies. Therefore, it is recommended that a participatory human-wildlife conflict management plan, with stakeholder involvement, be pursued in Armenia, as well as more outreach and education to affected communities.

description: Oman is facing important economic and political challenges. The economic challenge it faces is that its population is rising while its oil reserves are declining. The political challenges it faces are the extreme concentration of authority in the hands of one man (Sultan Qaboos), the sultan's unwillingness to allow meaningful political participation or dialogue, political legitimacy issues concerning both Sultan Qaboos and the succession process he has set up, and sporadic but persistent signs of opposition. This article examines these problems and assesses their implications for the political stability of Oman.

description: This study centred on the development of a mathematical model for the prediction of the compressive strength of cement blended Fly Ash-Periwinkle shell ash sandcrete blocks using Scheffe’s simplex lattice. A total of ninety (90) fly ash-PSA solid sandcrete blocks of dimensions 450 x 125 x 225 mm were cast, consisting of three (3) blocks per mix ratio and for a total of thirty (30) mix ratios, comprising of fifteen (15) mix ratios each for both trial and control mixes. The first fifteen (15) mixes were used to develop the model while the other fifteen (15) were used to validate the model. The blocks were cured for 28 days by sprinkling of water. A computer program was written for Scheffe’s model using Visual Basic 6.0. The program was used to predict the compressive strength for a given mix ratio and vice versa. The mathematical model results compared favourably with the experimental results. The model predictions were tested using statistical Students t-Test at 95% confidence level, and were found to be adequate. The optimum compressive strength of the blended sandcrete after 28 days of curing was found to be 3.9175 N/mm2 which gave a corresponding mix ratio of 0.675, 1.19, 0.0375, 0.0225, 6.25 for water, cement, periwinkle shell ash, fly ash, and sand respectively.

description: The thesis focused on investigating early (Archean) Earth geodynamics using numerical modelling and benchmarking the results against the preserved rock record. The thesis attempts to answer three main research questions: (1) What mechanism(s) and tectonic setting(s) were responsible for the formation of Archean continental crust? (2) How did the Earth’s lithosphere dynamics evolved from a non-plate tectonic mode to plate tectonics? and, (3) What role did the Archean cratons play in the tectonic evolution of Earth and in the cooling of mantle. The findings affirm the hypothesis of transition of lithospheric drips into plate tectonics along Earth’s mantle cooling process.

description: Human-driven environmental change has resulted in unprecedented loss of biodiversity. The design of conservation strategies for species’ persistence and recovery under these rapidly changing conditions is a major challenge. My thesis aims to evaluate species recovery and conservation implications, including genetic management, of Australian freshwater fish. My thesis helped to refine a new framework to assess species recovery and implications of conservation actions by including expert elicitation. Furthermore, I was able to emphasise the value of genetic management strategies in threatened species conservation. This research is at the forefront of international efforts investigating species recovery and genetic management.

description: A fish-inspired research, on flow across a hydrofoil that is stationary or mimicking various types of fish-inspired swimming, can reveal efficient flow mechanisms that can lead to a novel design and development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) or energy extraction devices. The present thesis starts with various flow transitions in the wake of a stationary hydrofoil using two-dimensional simulations, water channel-based experiments, and Floquet stability analysis. Thereafter, using a level set function and immersed interface method-based in-house code, four different numerical studies on flow across various types of fish-inspired undulating and oscillating hydrofoils are presented.

description: We study the impact of bursts on spike statistics and neural signal transmission. We propose a stochastic burst algorithm that is applied to a burst-free spike train and adds a random number of temporally-jittered burst spikes to each spike. This simple algorithm ignores any possible stimulus-dependence of bursting but allows to relate spectra and signal-transmission characteristics of burst-free and burst-endowed spike trains. By averaging over the various statistical ensembles, we find a frequency-dependent factor connecting the linear and also the second-order susceptibility of the spike trains with and without bursts. The relation between spectra is more complicated: besides a frequency-dependent multiplicative factor it also involves an additional frequency-dependent offset. We confirm these relations for the (burst-free) spike trains of a stochastic integrate-and-fire neuron and identify frequency ranges in which the transmission is boosted or diminished by bursting. We then consider bursty spike trains of electroreceptor afferents of weakly electric fish and approach the role of burst spikes as follows. We compare the spectral statistics of the bursty spike train to (i) that of a spike train with burst spikes removed and to (ii) that of the spike train in (i) endowed by bursts according to our algorithm. Significant spectral features are explained by our signal-independent burst algorithm, e.g. the burst-induced boosting of the nonlinear response. A difference is seen in the information transfer for the original bursty spike train and our burst-endowed spike train. Our algorithm is thus helpful to identify different effects of bursting.

description: Intelligence is known to predict survival, but it remains unclear whether cognitive abilities differ in their relationship to survival in old age. We analyzed longitudinal data of 516 healthy adults (age: M = 84.92 years, SD = 8.66 years at Wave 1) from the Berlin Aging Study (Germany) on nine tasks of perceptual speed, episodic memory, verbal fluency, and verbal knowledge, and a general composite intelligence score. There were eight waves, with up to 18 years of follow-up; all participants were deceased by the time of analysis. We used a joint multivariate longitudinal survival model to estimate the unique contribution of each cognitive ability in terms of true (i.e., error-free) current value and current rate of change when predicting survival. Additional survival covariates included age at first occasion, sex, sociobiographical status, and suspected dementia. Only the two verbal-fluency measures were uniquely predictive of mortality risk. Thus, verbal fluency showed more salient associations with mortality risk than did measures of perceptual speed, episodic memory, and verbal knowledge.

The implementation of math conferences in an elementary classroom by early-career teachers: struggles in agency and the messy middle
Creators: name: Hart-Ruiz, Timothy P.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Most elementary teachers (ETs) have majors in the humanities as undergraduates and much of the pedagogical training in a teacher preparation program tends to focus on literacy, so many ETs lack math pedagogical content knowledge and have a stronger knowledge of, and how, to teach literacy (Gonzalez-DeHass, et al., 2017; Bursal & Paznokas, 2006; Novak & Tassell, 2017; Malinsky, et al., 2006). This need for a deeper knowledge of mathematics, and how to teach it, exists during teacher training, and it is not necessarily narrowed when preservice ETs start working in the field as classroom teachers of record (Lui & Bonner, 2016; Newton, 2017; Fuller, 1997). Most ETs are not prepared to effectively teach math, and this results in an over-reliance on curriculum guides and procedural explanations of mathematics during instruction (Fuller, 1997; Lui & Bonner, 2016; Newton, 2017). Considering their training and background, it is not surprising that ETs use literacy structures in math, and this three-paper dissertation explores how a group of early-career ETs implemented math conferences as a way to support deepening student learning in math and increasing teacher understanding of student thinking during math instruction (Munson, 2018; Picha, 2022). What happens then when early-career ETs implement a new instructional practice in their classrooms? Each paper in this dissertation explores different elements of how early-career teachers implement this new practice and the ways that collaboration, school culture and climate, administrative supervision and support, professional development, and classroom structures either support successful implementation and spur teacher learning, or mire early-career teachers in the messy middle. The messy middle is the place before feeling completely competent with an instructional practice and where teacher learning is filled with approximation, failure, reflection, and success. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research result from the findings of this study.
