description: Techniques are generally described here for communicating channel state information using predictive vector quantization. In some examples, a method may include measuring channel state information based, at least in part, on signals received over a communications channel. An error vector may be calculated between the measured channel state information and predicted channel state information. The error vector may be quantized, and subsequent channel state information may be predicted based, at least in part, on the quantized error vector.

description: U. macroisophaga Hannum & Wilson, 1934
Type host. Killdeer, Charadrius vociferus Linnaeus (Syn. Oxyechus vociferous [Linnaeus]) (Charadriifromes: Charadriidae).
Type locality. Loma Portal, California, USA.
Remarks. This species was considered to be a synonym of Cyclocoelum (H.) lanceolatum (Wedl, 1858) by Dubois (1959) and of U. pseudocotylea Witenberg, 1923 by Bashkirova (1950). It should be noted that although Hannum & Wilson (1934) gave the pharynx width as 143–171 (pharynx wider than oral sucker; ratio of the widths of the pharynx and oral sucker about 1:0.8) in the original description, as appears to be the case in their Fig. 1; however, Fig. 2 shows the oral sucker to be a little wider than the pharynx (about 230; ratio of the widths of the pharynx and oral sucker about 1:1.1). Rudimentary oral sucker present—Hannum & Wilson (1934).

Formative evaluation of a summer social skills program
Creators: name: Anderson, Melissa M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation focuses on the process of planning and implementing an evaluation of HI-STEP(TM), a private summer social skills program targeted to children ages six through seventeen who have demonstrated needs in social-emotional and problem-solving skills domains. The program evaluation was formative in nature and scope, and it utilized Maher's program planning and evaluation framework (2000). This dissertation was conducted for the purpose of providing the program executive directors with evaluation information that would be helpful in determining the strengths of the program and areas for program improvement. Furthermore, it can be considered as being worthwhile to evaluate social skills programs to determine what benefits such programs add to children with disabilities, particularly given the costs of program design and implementation as well as due to lack of documentation of non-school based programs addressing this population. For this evaluation, five questions were delineated through the evaluation plan. The implementation of the program evaluation plan was conducted by this investigator in the summer of 2008 with the intention of providing a useful evaluation plan that could be conducted in subsequent years by program personnel. Evaluation results indicated that evidence-based strategies were reported as being implemented by staff on a daily basis; parents, counselors, and children were satisfied with the HI- STEP(TM) program; staff increased knowledge and skills in relation to their participation in the two-day training program; and a sample of children demonstrated an increase in social skills in relation to the program. The findings of the dissertation suggest that the program evaluation plan was feasible, successful, and useful to the clients. Recommendations were offered for the annual and ongoing evaluation of the HI- STEP(TM) program.

Mass dependent stable isotope fractionation of mercury during its microbial transformations
Creators: name: Kritee, Kritee
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: Mercury (Hg) is often cited in fish consumption advisories across the world due to the extreme neurotoxicity of its methylated forms. Given the complex biogeochemical cycling of Hg, a differentiation between local vs. global and natural vs. anthropogenic sources of Hg(0) and determination of transformations that are dominant in a given ecosystem is critical.  Mercury has seven stable isotopes and Hg isotope ratios can become a novel biogeochemical tool to track sources and transformations of Hg in the environment.  However, development of a stable isotope based tool requires the determination of the extent of fractionation during individual biotic and abiotic transformations that can occur in the environment. This thesis reports the extent of fractionation of Hg isotopes during two biological transformations: 1) degradation of monomethyl-Hg (MMHg) via the mercury resistance (mer) pathway in Escherichia coli JM109/pPB117 and 2) Hg(II) reduction by four Hg(II) reducing strains, including three Hg(II) resistant strains (E. coli JM109/pPB117, Bacillus cereus Strain 5 and Anoxybacillus spp. FB9) and a Hg(II) sensitive strain (Shewanella oneidensis MR-1). Using a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, it was found that MMHg and Hg(II) that remained in the reactors became progressively heavier (increasing delta202Hg) with time and underwent mass dependent Rayleigh-type fractionation with average fractionation factors (alpha 202/198 for reactant/instantaneous product) of 1.0004 and 1.0016, respectively.  Mass independent fractionation (MIF) was not observed and based on the nature of microbe-Hg interactions, it is suggested that the nuclear spin dependent MIF is unlikely to occur during biological processes. A multi-step framework for understanding the extent of fractionation seen during the mer mediated MMHg degradation and Hg(II) reduction experiments is provided, and based on the biochemistry and kinetics of the steps involved in the two pathways, the steps in the process that could contribute to the observed extent of fractionation are suggested in the thesis. A clear effect of Hg(II) bioavailability on the extent of fractionation of Hg was observed and is also discussed.  The framework discussed here can guide future experiments on Hg isotope fractionation during other transformations in its biogeochemical cycle, and ultimately facilitate a more rigorous development of a Hg isotope based geochemical tool.
Accessing and using multilanguage information by users searching in differenct information retrieval systems
Creators: name: Ha, Yoo Jin
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: There is an underlying assumption in the exchange of scholarly information that knowledge will be transferred across country borders, cultures, and languages. It is this sharing of scholarly information is considered an essential pre-requisite necessary for the advancement of knowledge. Nonetheless, in the current English dominant environment of information retrieval (IR) systems, there are numerous obstacles confronting users who seek to access and use non-English information. The purposes of this study are: to explore the information behaviors of those seeking non-English information; to identify difficulties of individuals' experiences when accessing and using non-English information in current IR systems; to develop an explanatory model determining how person characteristics, experiential knowledge, and situation factors influence search behaviors and evaluations of bibliographic information.Two separate studies are conducted to explore the above issues: an online questionnaire of users of multilanguage information retrieval systems; and an experiment with individuals accessing information on different topics using different languages and systems. The participants in these studies include academic researchers and library personnel and are individuals who regularly interact with Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English records via IR systems. The survey and experiment participants note the lack of non-English access via indexing terms, the lack of non-English records in major online databases which index journals, the lack of English translation of abstracts, and the lack of coherent and understandable access to non-Roman language materials. The users of non-English information expect to have a system with cross language information retrieval functions providing clear access to full text non-English information. Importantly, having understandable bibliographic records are essential when individuals make decisions on their expected use of non-English documents. The experiment data analyses reveal there are different IR system search behaviors by subjects' with different language backgrounds, professions, language knowledge, topic knowledge and its target language, especially comparing English with non-English searches. An explanatory model for non-English searching model was built based on various statistical analyses of experiment data. The model depicts the importance of statistically significant relationships among person characteristics and experiential knowledge which explain search behaviors and intention to use retrieved information when individuals seek non-English/non-Roman alphabet information.

Trajectories of collaborative scientific conceptual change
Creators: name: Liu, Lei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The dissertation aims to achieve two goals. First, it attempts to establish a new theoretical framework -- the collaborative scientific conceptual change model, which explicitly attends to social factor and epistemic practices of science, to understand conceptual change. Second, it report the findings of a classroom study to investigate how to apply this theoretical framework to examine the trajectories of collaborative scientific conceptual change in a CSCL environment and provide pedagogical implications. Two simulations were designed to help students make connections between the macroscopic substances and the aperceptual microscopic entities and underlying processes. The reported study was focused on analyzing the aggregated data from all participants and the video and audio data from twenty focal groups' collaborative activities and the process of their conceptual development in two classroom settings. Mixed quantitative and qualitative analyses were applied to analyze the video/audio data. The results found that, overall participants showed significant improvements from pretest to posttest on system understanding. Group and teacher effect as well as group variability were detected in both students' posttest performance and their collaborative activities, and variability emerged in group interaction. Multiple data analyses found that attributes of collaborative discourse and epistemic practices made a difference in student learning. Generating warranted claims in discourse as well as the predicting, coordinating theory-evidence, and modifying knowledge in epistemic practices had an impact on student's conceptual understanding. However, modifying knowledge was found negatively related to students' learning effect. The case studies show how groups differed in using the computer tools as a medium to conduct collaborative discourse and epistemic practices. Only with certain combination of discourse features and epistemic practices can the group interaction lead to successful convergent understanding. The results of the study imply that the collaborative scientific conceptual change model is an effective framework to study conceptual change and the simulation environment may mediate the development of successful collaborative interactions (including collaborative discourse and epistemic practices) that lead to collaborative scientific conceptual change.

How do we measure it and determine if something is the ‘quality’ facility or ‘quality’ data we say it is? This is not simply an esoteric thought experiment – it matters: end-users and stakeholders are already making decisions potentially affecting whole communities and worth millions of dollars based on their understanding of the quality of our geochemical analytical data. These products are the foundation of Geoscience Australia’s reputation as a trusted advisor to government, communities and industry.

This talk will guide you through the Geoscience Australia Laboratory, paying particular focus to our role in quality control and assurance for a range of analytical data products, including our core analytical capabilities in Organic Geochemistry, Microanalysis and Physical Properties. You will hear how the labs are evolving as we build new facilities and build on our capabilities. You will learn more about the importance of quality, how it is defined and some tools to apply in your own work.

description: For the first time in Australia, ground gravity, airborne gravity/gravity gradiometry, and satellite gravity observations have been combined to produce a series of National Gravity Grids covering an area more than twice the size of Australia. This involved the combination of observations made on the land, in the air, and by satellite - more than 1,800 ground gravity surveys, 14 airborne gravity and gravity gradiometry surveys, and satellite gravity observations. Underpinning this accomplishment is the Australian Fundamental Gravity Network - a series of gravity benchmarks that allow the joining of gravity data into a seamless whole. This presentation will discuss both the utility of the network and how it feeds into the production of the grids, plus the process of creating the national scale grids using such varied sources of gravity data.

A two-stage reduction for complex combustion chemistry
Creators: name: Huynh, Phong Tien
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The combustion of hydrocarbon is a main energy resource for transportation. It is easy to start but very hard to understand and simulate. There have been several efforts to build detailed kinetic mechanisms from elementary reactions. Although they are highly accurate and well capture the complicated chemistry of combustion process, it is expensive to model with detailed mechanisms because their size is too large. Furthermore, it is not effective to apply detailed mechanism while there are only some of species and reactions involved in a typical condition. Therefore, a suitable reduced mechanism for such considered condition is a hot requirement. Recently, Petzold et al., and Androulakis  suggested an automatic mechanism reduction based on the mathematical programming method. Following their approach, Banerjee et al. applied GA search to generate reduced mechanisms. The fruit of that work is a reduced mechanism library, which can govern combustion of air -- methane mixture with high accuracy. Nevertheless, the GA reduction method is hard to directly apply to the complex chemistry whose solution space is large. It, therefore, needs a first step of reduction, which can condense the search space of complex combustion mechanisms. Androulakis provided a method based on flux analysis to build a reduced mechanism with a suitable cut-off value of element flux accumulation. Although his method is flexible and very fast, the obtained mechanism can contain some species, which can be further eliminated. In this work, the two approaches mentioned above were combined to form a two-step reduction procedure on n-pentane and n-heptane mechanism. The flux analysis reduction was used first to obtain a skeleton reduced mechanism. Then the GA reduction considered the obtained mechanism as a detailed mechanism for parallel GA search. Nine conditions of n-pentane and nine conditions of n-heptane oxidation were investigated. Although the size of the final reduced mechanisms is much smaller than that of detailed mechanisms, they well estimate the oxidation process.

Regulation of Psc-Su(z)2 genes in drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Park, Sung-Yeon
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2008

description: The Psc and Su(z)2 genes belong to the Polycomb Group (PcG) and Psc itself is one of the core components of the PRC1 repressive complex and genetic evidence suggests that it is autoregulated by PcG mechanisms. Recently, the Psc-Su(z)2 region was also found to contain several putative Polycomb Response Elements that bind PcG proteins while the entire region is enriched for H3K27me3. Current model of PcG mechanism is all-or- none silencing paradigm derived from its role in homeotic gene regulation. However, it is likely that PcG regulation at many other target genes functions by down-regulating rather than silencing expression. This is certainly the case for PcG genes like Psc and Su(z)2. To understand how PcG mechanisms down-regulate a target gene, the nature of the PcG binding sites in the Psc-Su(z)2 region and their repressive effects were analyzed, using reporter gene construct. There are at least two functional PREs that can silence a reporter gene in a PcG-dependent manner and one of them can also show anti-silencing activity, depending on the chromosomal context. In addition, we found a down-regulation module in the vicinity of Psc promoter, whose effect is insensitive to the dosage of PcG genes. Probably, several different regulatory elements might be cooperative to down-regulate Psc-Su(z)2 genes by PcG mechanism. I have also generated small deletions that remove one such binding peak. Deletion of one of the Psc-Su(z)2 PREs increases the expression level of Psc and Su(z)2 by 2-3 fold at late embryonic stage. Perhaps the increased expression of PSC can partially compensate by binding to the other PREs in the Psc-Su(z)2 locus. On the contrary, the expressions of CG13323 and CG13324 genes behind of the PRE are decreased by 20 to 50 fold during entire embryonic stages.  Also, the chromatin IP experiment showed that the loss of this fragment extends the domain of H3K27me3 around 10kb further, to a region that includes both of CG13323 and CG13324 transcripts. So, the fragment removed in both deletions may not possess only PRE but also a transcriptional enhancer for downstream genes or boundary element to block the PcG silencing.
"Free men name themselves"

description: This project is about what it has meant to be "black" in twentieth century New England for immigrants from the African Diaspora.  In this study, I document the experiences of Cape Verdeans in Massachusetts with brief comparative references to Caribbean immigrants.  Specifically, their notions of identity and responses to US socio-cultural beliefs regarding race and immigration are examined during the period 1900-1980.  I argue that the consistent choice of most Cape Verdean immigrants to reject the US racial binary by defining themselves as exactly "Cape Verdean" versus "black" or "white" represented a form of strategic resistance--both informal and organized--to both the colonial forces in their homeland and the racist and nativist impulses in their new home abroad.  Their choices stood in sharp contrast to the overwhelmingly popular choice of most Caribbeans who for the most part adhered to the Garvey-inspired Black Nationalist strategies of racial protest reflecting differences in the two sets of immigrants' colonial pasts and ideological influences.  Practical differences in terms of class, language, phenotype, literacy and culture--i.e. religion also helped shape these foreigners' responses and their attendant identity politics.  The dissertation is grounded in traditional African-American history and historiographical arguments as well as African Diaspora theory.  As members of overlapping diasporas, Cape Verdean immigrants' inability to choose either one identity or another stemmed from the fact that their heritage reflected a m�lange of influences, both African and European, simultaneously interacting in the form of multiple, interlocked subjectivities.  Within the realm of these overlapping diasporas, the construct of race was not the penultimate marker of one's identity; rather, in keeping with African tradition, one's identity was shaped more by family name or clan.  The varied choices made by Cape Verdean and Caribbean immigrants regarding racial affiliation reflects the diversity of experiences in the African Diaspora and within the so-called "black" population of the United States.  Thus telling this history represents a challenge to African-American essentialism and pushes the boundaries of African-American history to include little known ethnic groups of people of African descent like the Cape Verdeans of the New England region.

Real benefits from virtual experiences
Creators: name: Abrams, Sandra Schamroth
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation focuses on the ways four academically struggling adolescent males used their video gaming experiences as a resource to understand other texts. Such an investigation builds upon the idea that learning is socio-culturally situated and, therefore, focuses not only on the texts gamers encountered, but also on how students viewed themselves in relation to the texts they used and to the world in which they lived. Over the course of eight months, I collected data using a variety of methods, such as individual and focus group interviews, participant and classroom observations, stimulated recall of game play, electronic literacy logs, and think-alouds of participants' written texts and photographed learning spaces.  I coded the data using descriptors for Discourse, schema, performed identity and projective identity, which brought to light how students in my study recognized academic relevance, gained social acceptance, and experienced a sense competence through their video gaming experiences. I have drawn upon schema and Discourse theories while embracing a multimodal approach to literacy, blending theories usually regarded as independent of each other.  In so doing, I have found a fruitful, theoretical middle ground that has allowed me both to examine the diversity of student Discourses and to discuss the affordances of video gaming in concert, not in discord, with traditional theories.My data reveal that video gaming afforded the participants the ability to assume alternate identities, to collaborate with others, and to achieve feats otherwise unattainable in reality, sometimes to their academic, social, and emotional benefit. For some, video gaming provided authentic, albeit synthetic, experiences that enabled students to contextualize academic information. Engaging in a virtual battle or encountering vocabulary words in a game, students respectively gained foundational understandings of historic events and language use because they encountered the information in a meaningful way. In addition, gaming appeared to grant players access to social membership and/or feelings of competence in real and virtual worlds. This dissertation contributes to the burgeoning field of digital literacies and suggests that the video game experience may help gamers achieve meaningful learning in and outside the classroom.
