Using virtual peer support and Fitbit to reduce obesity among African American and Hispanic women
Creators: name: Adefowokan, Kenny Olalekan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of the Project: This quality improvement project was conducted to determine the efficacy of virtual peer support plus Fitbit in improving physical activity and weight loss among overweight and obese African American and Hispanic women in Newark, New Jersey. The study was motivated by the growing concern regarding the health threat posed by obesity and its high prevalence among African American and Hispanic women. Methodology: The knowledge-to-action framework was used. Thirty African American and Hispanic women participated. These participants received virtual peer support and used wearable Fitbit to track their physical activity for 12 weeks. A paired sample t-test and chi-square were used to compare the outcomes before and after the intervention. Results: Before the intervention, the mean Body Mass Index was 34.77; after, it was 34.06, BMI (t (29) =4.87, p<.001). The intervention led to a statistically significant reduction in weight (t (29) =4.41, p<.001). Over the intervention period, participants' Obesity Weight Loss Quality of Life improved, OWLQOL (t (29) =5.74, p<.001). Participants' average physical activity increased. Pre-intervention and post-intervention physical activity distribution differed significantly χ2 (2) = 26.45, p<.001. Implications for Practice: The key findings of the study suggest that the use of virtual peer support when combined with Fitbit, can reduce the BMI of overweight and obese African American and Hispanic women. The provision of peer support and physical activity tracking mechanism should be considered in healthcare.

description: The purpose of this report is to document the activities of the research effort and present the findings of the work accomplished. Transition zone is the area in which it is communicated to drivers that the roadway environment is changing (i.e., from rural to built-up) and that their speed should change as well. This study evaluated treatments that could advise drivers to this. Based on the study findings, it is recommended to add additional speed warning sites to such transition zones.

description: Stability of coarse particles against gravity is an important issue in dense suspensions (fresh concrete, foodstuff, etc.). On the one hand, it is known that they are stable at rest when the interstitial paste has a high enough yield stress; on the other hand, it is not yet possible to predict if a given material will remain homogeneous during a flow. Using MRI techniques, we study the time evolution of the particle volume fraction during the flows in a Couette geometry of model density-mismatched suspensions of noncolloidal particles in yield stress fluids. We observe that shear induces sedimentation of the particles in all systems, which are stable at rest. The sedimentation velocity is observed to increase with increasing shear rate and particle diameter, and to decrease with increasing yield stress of the interstitial fluid. At low shear rate ('plastic regime'), we show that this phenomenon can be modelled by considering that the interstitial fluid behaves like a viscous fluid -- of viscosity equal to the apparent viscosity of the sheared fluid -- in the direction orthogonal to shear. The behavior at higher shear rates, when viscous effects start to be important, is also discussed. We finally study the dependence of the sedimentation velocity on the particle volume fraction, and show that its modelling requires estimating the local shear rate in the interstitial fluid.

description: Electrophoretic separation of a mixture of chemical species is a fundamental technique of great usefulness in biology, health care and forensics. In capillary electrophoresis the sample migrates in a microcapillary in the presence of a background electrolyte. When the ionic concentration of the sample is sufficiently high, the signal is known to exhibit features reminiscent of nonlinear waves including sharp concentration `shocks'.In this paper we consider a simplified model consisting of a single sample ion and a background electrolyte consisting of a single co-ion and a counterion in the absence of any processes that might change the ionization states of the constituents. If the ionic diffusivities are assumed to be the same for all constituents the concentration of sample ion is shown to obey a one dimensional advection diffusion equation with a concentration dependent advection velocity.If the analyte concentration is sufficiently low in a suitable non-dimensional sense, Burgers' equation is recovered, and thus, the time dependent problem is exactly solvable with arbitrary initial conditions. In the case of small diffusivity either a leading edge or trailing edge shock is formed depending on the electrophoretic mobility of the sample ion relative to the background ions. Analytical formulas are presented for the shape, width and migration velocity of the sample peak and it is shown that axial dispersion at long times may be characterized by an effective diffusivity that is exactly calculated. These results are consistent with known observations from physical and numerical simulation experiments.

How to Construct a Common Narrative from among the Competing Accounts:        Narrative templates as cultural limiters to narrative transformations
Creators: name: Garagozov, Rauf
Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group
Year: 2015

description: Narrative approach to interethnic conflicts considers them as competing stories. In this con-nection, it is argued that for effective conflict resolution the competing narratives should un-dergo certain transformations that could bring them towards their convergence into a common one.  However, discussions of narrative transformations to conflict resolution often fail to differentiate between surface narratives and underlying schematic narrative templates. In this regard schematic narrative templates which are deeply entrenched with patterns of collective memory and identity can serve as “cultural limiter” which restrains the process of narrative transformations.  This thesis is illustrated through the narrative analysis of the BBC Russian Service video report “Karabakh: Two Versions of the Story” (aired on 18th April, 2011). In the analysis of the BBC video report the author employs some procedures which are suggested by the model of “chronotopic” method.

description: If L is a partition of n, the rank of L is the size of the largest part minus the number of parts. Under the uniform distribution on partitions, Bringmann, Mahlburg, and Rhoades showed that the rank statistic has a limiting distribution. We identify the limit as the difference between two independent extreme value distributions and as the distribution of B(T) where B(t) is standard Brownian motion and T is the first time that an independent three-dimensional Brownian motion hits the unit sphere. The same limit holds for the crank.

Deconstructing the Policing of the Normal: An Examination of the Work Done by Undercover Anti-Bullying Teams
Creators: name: Winslade, John
Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group
Year: 2013

description: Bronwyn Davies and her colleagues have argued for a Foucauldian analysis of bullying relations in schools as an alternative to the common assumption of pathological moral character in the bully. In a Foucauldian analysis, bullying works to maintain discursive categories of normality through marking those who differ as other. Bullying discourages dissensus and polices social norms more than it deviates from them. This paper takes up this analysis and examines the undercover anti-bullying team process for whether it produces greater openness to difference and challenges the discursive logic of bullying.

description: The objective of the research was to evaluate the alternative methods which could potentially provide effective and durable delineation of roadways during wet-nighttime conditions. Following is a summary of conclusions for future procedures and materials which should be considered as a method to provide effective lane delineation during wet-nighttime conditions.      Snowplowable raised pavement markers should continue to be used on interstates and parkways. The installation process must ensure the markers are not placed on or adjacent to the pavement joint.     Lenses in the steel casting raised pavement markers should be replaced on a three-year cycle. The condition of the castings should be inspected as part of this process.     The pavement condition adjacent to the raised pavement marker castings should be monitored to ensure there is no failure adjacent to the casting.     Evaluation of the use of a recessed pavement marker should continue.     Rumble stripes (painting edge line and centerline markings across a milled rumble strip) should be routinely used on resurfacing projects on rural, two-lane roads. Guidelines have been developed for the use of an edge line and/or centerline rumble stripe related to the pavement width.     Evaluation of the grooved and inlay installations of the wet-reflective paint, tape and thermoplastic material should continue.     Current research for an alternative to the current “bare pavement” policy (which involves use of steel snowplow blades with full weight) should be continued. Alternatives to the current policy include use of an alternative snowplow blade or a method of reducing the weight of the plow blade applied to the pavement.

description: The discrimination between two unknown states can be performed by a universal programmable discriminator, where the copies of the two possible states are stored in two program systems respectively and the copies of data, which we want to confirm, are provided in the data system. In the present paper, we propose a group-theretic approach to the multi-copy programmable state discrimination problem. By equivalence of unknown pure states to known mixed states and with the representation theory of U(n) group, we construct the Jordan basis to derive the analytical results for both the optimal unambiguous discrimination and minimum-error discrimination. The POVM operators for unambiguous discrimination and orthogonal measurement operators for minimum-error discrimination are obtained. We find that the optimal failure probability and minimum-error probability for the discrimination between the mean input mixd states are dependent on the dimension of the unknown qudit states. We applied the approach to generalize the results of He and Bergou (Phys. Rev. A {\bf 75}, 032316 (2007)) from qubit to qudit case, and we further solve the problem of programmable dicriminators with arbitrary copies of unknown states in both program and data systems.

description: A basic set of questions was developed that could be used in periodic surveys that track drivers attitudes and awareness concerning impaired driving, seat belt use, and speeding issues. The objective of the survey was to learn the knowledge, views, and behaviors of drivers in these areas. This report documents the results of the 2013 survey with a comparison to the 2011 and 2012 surveys as well as the 2010 baseline survey.  The method used to conduct the survey was a telephone survey. In addition to questions for the three major highway safety areas of impaired driving, seat belt use, and speeding, an additional question was added which dealt with distracted driving. General information about the driver’s sex, age, ethnic or racial group, and education was also obtained. A total of 508 interviews were completed.  The survey shows that drivers do not self-report many violations in their driving behavior. Only a few drivers admitted to violating the law in the areas surveyed (safety belt use, speeding, and impaired driving). For example, the percentage of drivers who indicated they used their safety belt “all or most of the time” was higher than the observed usage rate of safety belts.  The survey shows a high level of media and enforcement awareness. The majority (about two-thirds) of surveyed drivers had heard about enforcement related to drinking and driving. Slightly over one-half was aware of safety belt enforcement with slightly under one-half aware of speeding enforcement. The large majority of drivers felt they were somewhat likely to receive a ticket if they violated the law in these areas (with this percentage highest for an alcohol violation).  The most common type of distraction was talking on a cell phone. Almost two-thirds reported using a cell phone while driving. Distracted driving was more common for females and for the youngest age category of 18 to 34 years of age. Even with media campaigns concerning distracted driving, there has been a general increase in distracted driving over the years of the survey.

The following s-channel I=0 resonances are identified: (i) J^{PC} = 5^{--} with mass and width (M,Γ) at (2295+-30,235^{+65}_{-40}) MeV, (ii) J^{PC} = 4^{++} at (2020+-12, 170+-15) MeV and (2300+-25, 270+-50) MeV, (iii) 3D3 JPC = 3^{--} at (1960+-15, 150+-25) MeV and (2210+-4$, 360+-55) MeV, and a 3G3 state at (2300 ^{+50}_{-80}, 340+-150) MeV, (iv) JPC = 2^{++} at (1910+-30, 260+-40) MeV, (2020+-30, 275+-35) MeV, (2230+-30, 245+-45) MeV, and (2300+-35, 290+-50) MeV, (v) JPC = 1^{--} at (2005+-40, 275+-75) MeV, and (2165+-40, 160 ^{+140}_{-70}) MeV, and (vi) JPC = 0^{++} at (2005+-30, 305+-50) MeV, (2105+-15, 200+-25) MeV, and (2320+-30, 175+-45) MeV. In addition, there is a less well defined 6^{++} resonance at 2485+-40 MeV, with Gamma = 410+-90 MeV. For every JP, almost all these resonances lie on well defined linear trajectories of mass squared v. excitation number. The slope is 1.10+-0.03 Gev^2 per excitation. The f_0(2105) has strong coupling to eta-η, but much weaker coupling to pizero-pizero. Its flavour mixing angle between q-qbar and s-sbar is (59-71.6)deg, i.e. dominant decays to s-sbar. Such decays and its strong production in pbar-p interactions strongly suggest exotic character.

description: The objectives of this study were to investigate viable alternatives to the currently approved snowplowable raised pavement marker and alternative methods and equipment used to snowplow roadways. The study included evaluating any potential durable and effective pavement marker that is not disruptive to snowplowing operations and alternative snowplowing procedures and equipment that do not damage pavement delineation and pavements. Implementation possibilities resulting from the research project include a recessed snowplowable marker and improved/alternative snowplowing procedures and equipment.  The alternative snowplowable markers included in the evaluation were the current steel casting marker and a recessed marker. The evaluations confirmed past research that the steel casting marker can be used on new pavement if the casting and lenses are properly installed and maintained. Also, the pavement surrounding the casting must be maintained. The limited experience with the recessed marker has shown it to be an effective alternative to the current steel casting marker. The durability and effectiveness of the recessed marker should continue to be monitored.  There are alternatives to the current snowplowing procedure of using steel blades with full weight on the pavement. Several types of blades were evaluated with varying levels of success. Evaluation of alternative snowplowing procedures should continue using information found from these initial trial tests. Contractors should be allowed the flexibility to use alternatives to steel blades with their performance monitored.

description: The transitive closure of a reflexive, symmetric, analytic relation is an analytic equivalence relation. Does some smaller class contain the transitive closure of every reflexive, symmetric, closed relation? An essentially negative answer is provided here. Every analytic equivalence relation on an arbitrary Polish space is Borel embeddable in the transitive closure of the union of two smooth Borel equivalence relations on that space. In the case of the Baire space, the two smooth relations are closed and the embedding is homeomorphic.

description: The report details the pre-construction monitoring, planning and design, and construction of the retrofit measures on the US150 bridge over Beech Fork River in Nelson County, KY and Cartwright Creek bridge on the border of Washington-Nelson County, KY. All reinforced concrete girders of the five-span Beech Fork River bridge and three-span Cartwright Creek bridge of deck-girder construction had developed diagonal cracks near or at the transition of the variable-and-constant depth regions.  To remedy the problem steel fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) sheets were selected as the means of retrofit due to their strength and stiffness, as well as conformability and flexibility. Repair to the reinforced concrete girders was done by attaching the SFRP sheets to the vertical and bottom faces. Application of SFRP was quickly executed with the use of specialty epoxy designed for use with the steel wire sheets. Construction of the retrofit was completed in May of 2007.
An Overview of U.S. Commuter Rail

description: Planners view commuter rail as a means of managing urban sprawl, stimulating economic development and reducing the environmental impacts of transportation. Commuter rail systems, which use shared rights-of-way to connect suburban hubs with downtown urban centers, are beginning to have a large impact on the way people and freight move through US cities. Currently, there are 26 commuter rail systems operating in 29 major U.S. metropolitan areas. However, there is confusion among the general public and disagreement among transportation organizations as to what constitutes a commuter rail system and how to classify some rail systems. This research establishes a complete and definitive list of U.S. commuter rail systems, situates commuter rail in the context of U.S. rail systems at-large and establishes a ‘new start’ and ‘legacy’ classification for commuter rail. Included in this report are profiles of all U.S. commuter rail systems, highlighting governance, financing, ridership and service area demographics. This research also traces the historical development of commuter rail and the best practices employed by ‘new start’ commuter rail systems.

description: This report documents the repair of five locations along the I-65 Expressway in Jefferson County, KY. The repair involved: (1) the precast prestressed concrete girder spans between Jacob Street and Gray Street, (2) the reinforced concrete bearing pads of Bridge Pier 4 at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Preston Street, (3) the reinforced concrete bearing pads of Bridge Pier 6 near the intersection of Main Street and Hancock Street, (4) the precast prestressed concrete girder spans between Chestnut Street and Gray Street and (5) the reinforced concrete pier column on East Muhammad Ali Blvd.  The precast prestressed concrete girders were wrapped with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics at the cracked locations to prevent or limit excessive translations in both vertical and horizontal directions. Two of the PC girders were instrumented with LVDTs to gauge the effectiveness of the repair before and after retrofit. The wrapping appears to have curtailed the relative movements in the horizontal direction as they are more stabilized and less volatile than before the repair. However, the relative movements of the vertical direction were still apparent.  The bearing pads of Bridge Piers 4 and 6, as well as the pier column on E. Muhammad Ali Blvd., have been repaired and wrapped with CFRP fabric to increase their capacity. The bearing pads of Bridge Pier 6 presented a unique challenge as the pads were irregularly shaped. ‘Reshaping’ of the pads was performed so that the wrapping would be effective.
$SO/Sp$ Chern-Simons Gauge Theories At Large $N$, $SO/Sp$ Penner Models And The Gauge Group Volumes

description: We construct a deformed $SO/Sp$ Penner generating function responsible for the close connection between $SO/Sp$ Chern-Simons gauge theories at large $N$ and the $SO/Sp$ Penner models. This construction is then shown to follow from a sector of a Chern-Simons gauge theory with coupling constant $λ$. The free energy and its continuum limit of the perturbative Chern-Simons gauge theory are obtained from the Penner model. Finally, asymptotic expansions for the logarithm of the gauge group volumes are given for every genus $g\geq 0$ and shown to be equivalent to the continuum limits of the $SO/Sp$ Chern-Simons gauge theories and the $SO/Sp$ Penner models

description: Kentucky’s Road Fund serves as the primary source of funds for the state’s roadway system. Motor fuels taxes and motor vehicle usage taxes are the two main components of Road Fund revenues. In recent years, there has been concern about the ability of the Road Fund, as currently constituted, to provide sufficient revenue to meet the funding needs for Kentucky’s transportation system. This study first analyzed the sources of Road Fund revenue, utilizing historical data to provide context for how past revenues have been generated and where those revenues were spent. In addition to examining revenues, the study also examined historical expenditure levels and attempted to assess the sufficiency of those spending levels to keep pace with needs. Forecasts were developed using several methods to provide the most robust estimates of future Road Fund revenues through 2017. Several scenarios were developed for comparison purposes including an average scenario as well as high-revenue and low-revenue scenarios.

Space, Place, & Symbol: Utilizing central places to understand intergroup conflict dynamics
Creators: name: Greiff, Tobias
Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group
Year: 2015

description: This article will present a new way of capturing highly dynamic intergroup differentiation processes through applying a spatial perspective. Drawing from my experiences collected during several field research visits to Bosnia aimed at assessing Post-Dayton intergroup relations, and inspired by the works of Doreen Massey, Michel De Certeau, and Rom Harré, I will suggest that one key to understanding how groups interpret the behavior of other groups lies in the meaning groups ascribe to the place of their interaction. With the rules of a place limiting the range of actions social agents can chose from, an understanding of ’normal’ behavior is established; which in the same second positions all other possible acts as outside the local moral order. Thus making the right to interpret a central place a favorable position and the interpretation of such a place into a strong positioning act influencing the terms of future interactions. Deciphering the dominant political meanings of central places on which intergroup interactions take place therefore becomes a promising way of understanding intergroup positioning processes. Approximating to the meanings local groups ascribe to central places, however, is in need of a thorough interpretational framework; one possible framework, based on analyzing the symbols that are used in the interpretational acts themselves, will round up this spatial approach to understanding intergroup interactions.

description: With the help of the Drinfeld twist or factorizing F-matrix for the eight-vertex SOS model, we obtain the explicit determinant expression of the partition function of the eight-vertex model with a generic non-diagonal reflecting end and domain wall boundary condition. Our result shows that, contrary to the eight-vertex model without a reflection end, the partition function can be expressed as a single determinant.

Coherence Co-constructed: Using Coherence for Analysis and Transformation of Social Conflicts
Creators: name: Erol, Ali Ersen
Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group
Year: 2015
Subjects: narrative; coherence; poststructuralism

description: Narrative coherence is a much-debated subject, primarily because different approaches to coherence leave us with an either/or predicament. We can either pay attention to rather modernist approaches that attempt to map meaning structures in a given text to locate points of coherence; or, we can pay attention to critical approaches that suggest even seeking coherence results in confirming with dominant discourses and narratives in a given context. This article is an attempt in reconciliation between these two approaches to provide an alternative approach to the question: what makes texts cohere? Using a political rally ad Turkish Prime Minister used to counter the protests that took place in Turkey during the summer of 2013, the article demonstrates how coherence is constructed as a relationship between a text and an audience based on semiotic markers that refer to historical and ideological narratives.

description: Выполнен анализ результатов исследования эндогенной интоксикации после проведения эмболизации маточных артерий (ЭМА) у 38 больных при лечении миомы матки. Все женщины, рассматриваемые в нашей работе, подписали информированное согласие на участие в исследовании и были ознакомлены с целью и дизайном работы. Показанием для выполнения ЭМА являлось наличие симптомной миомы матки, вне зависимости от количества и размеров миоматозных узлов. Критериями для анализа являлись особенности послеоперационного течения и лабораторные показатели, характеризующие эндогенную интоксикацию в послеоперационном периоде. Определение эндогенной интоксикации основывалось на нахождении коэффициента КАСС/ОА, отражающего соотношение количественных показателей азотсодержащих соединений (АСС) и остаточного азота (ОА).
The Call to Terrorism and Other Weak Narratives: Identification As Disruptive Technique
Creators: name: Maan, Ajit
Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group
Year: 2015

description: This paper explores the relationship between narrative, identity, and violent action, and will offer techniques for disrupting the relationship between violence and identity. The argument proceeds by first demonstrating the non-universality of Western narrative structure and the relevance of that non-universality, then documenting the correlation between narrative and identity and between identity and action, and ends with a suggestion that a successful anti-terrorism strategy should encompass conflict rather than engage it.

Narrative Conflict Coaching
Creators: name: Winslade, John

Publisher: name: Mason Publishing Group

Subjects: Conflict coaching, conflict resolution, narrative, care of the self, event, chronos, aion, counter story

description: Conflict coaching is a relatively new concept, derived from the domain of executive coaching. The concept has gained a foothold in the conflict resolution literature.  There have been references made to a narrative practice of conflict coaching but it has not been articulated as fully as it might be.  Here we seek to describe such a practice in relation to Foucault’s concept of the care of the self and Deleuze’s concept of the event.  We also outline Deleuze’s approach to the reading of time as chronos and aion and show how these different readings might be put to use.  A set of guidelines for narrative conflict coaching are proposed and transcribed conversation is provided as a case study to illustrate the process in action.  In this conversation, the conflict coach asks questions which lead the client through an exploration of the series of events that make up the conflict story, the externalizing and deconstructing of this conflict story, and the opening of a counter story as a basis for the client’s preferred future conduct in relation to the conflict.

description: (Abridged) Compact groups, with their high number densities, small velocity dispersions, and an interstellar medium that has not been fully processed, provide a local analog to conditions of galaxy interactions in the earlier universe. The frequent and prolonged gravitational encounters that occur in compact groups affect the evolution of the constituent galaxies in a myriad of ways, for example gas processing and star formation. Recently, a statistically significant "gap" has been discovered mid-infrared IRAC colorspace of compact group galaxies. This gap is not seen in field samples and is a new example of how the compact group environment may affect the evolution of member galaxies. In order to investigate the origin and nature of this gap, we have compiled a sample of 49 compact groups. We find that a statistically significant deficit of galaxies in this gap region of IRAC colorspace is persistant in this sample, lending support to the hypothesis that the compact group environment inhibits moderate SSFRs. We note a curvature in the colorspace distribution, which is fully consistent with increasing dust temperature as the activity in a galaxy increases. This full sample of 49 compact groups allows us to subdivide the data according to physical properties of the groups. An analysis of these subsamples indicates that neither projected physical diameter nor density show a trend in colorspace within the values represented by this sample. We hypothesize that the apparent lack of a trend is due to the relatively small range of properties in this sample. Thus, the relative influence of stochastic effects becomes dominant. We analyze spectral energy distributions of member galaxies as a function of their location in colorspace and find that galaxies in different regions of MIR colorspace contain dust with varying temperatures and/or PAH emission.
