title: How Student Perceptions of the Online Learning Environment and Student Motivation Predict Persistence, Completion, and Retention in Developmental Mathematics Courses
Creators: name: Gedeborg, Samuel K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Online developmental mathematics courses have high dropout rates. The focus of this study is to improve understanding of how students’ perceptions of the online learning environment and student motivation from course design predict student drop out. This understanding will benefit faculty and institutions on student support for online developmental mathematics students.
The study included 330 undergraduate students enrolled in online developmental mathematics courses during the Fall 2018 semester at eight public universities and colleges in the Utah State Higher Education (USHE) system. Participants completed a survey with questions measuring their perceptions of the learning environment. They also completed a survey to measure student motivations toward their online mathematics coursework. Participants’ answers were tied to data measuring course persistence, completion, and retention. The researcher used statistical analysis methods to generate findings.
The time-to-completion and regression analysis showed two things. The degree to which a student perceives that he or she can succeed at the coursework (self-efficacy) predicted student course persistence and completion in online developmental mathematics. Also, the ability of participants to identify with the online community (social presence) predicted student course persistence and completion in online developmental mathematics. The analysis on student retention did not show any significant results.
This finding suggests that efforts and interventions geared towards building student self-efficacy and designing more social presence interactions may have the potential to increase course completion rates in online developmental mathematics coursework. Building self-efficacy in online developmental mathematics coursework,and a positive support group of fellow classmates through social presence, has the potential to give students the tools necessary to successfully navigate their own learning.

description: Atom-atom interactions within a small volume were investigated through the excitation of ultracold Rb atoms. The application of microwaves enhances these interactions, causing the suppression of Rydberg state excitation. The suppression of Rydberg atom excitation was both qualitatively observed and quantitatively analyzed using a universal scaling law, giving a measure of the atom-atom interaction strength in agreement with theoretical prediction.

Με αυτήν την παραδοχή, επιλέγεται μία περιοχή επέκτασης της πόλης του Ρεθύμνου, ανάμεσα σε άλλες του Γενικού Πολεοδομικού Σχεδίου, λόγω των ιδιαίτερων φυσικών χαρακτηριστικών της, για να εφαρμοστεί πρόταση για την προγραμματισμένη πολεοδόμησή της. Σκοπός της μελέτης είναι να δημιουργηθεί μία πρότυπη περιοχή οικιστικής ανάπτυξης με  βιοκλιματικά χαρακτηριστικά, προσαρμοσμένη στην ανάγκη επέκτασης της πόλης, που θα προωθεί τη βιωσιμότητα και παράλληλα θα εναρμονίζεται με τον ήδη υπάρχοντα πολεοδομικό ιστό και με το φυσικό περιβάλλον.
Προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί ο παραπάνω στόχος, απαιτείται, αρχικά, η διερεύνηση της περιοχής μελέτης, αλλά και της ευρύτερης περιοχής, όσον αφορά τα ειδικά φυσικά και πολεοδομικά χαρακτηριστικά τους.
Προτείνεται, λοιπόν, ο πολεοδομικός σχεδιασμός ενός βιώσιμου οικισμού για μόνιμη κατοίκηση που θα φιλοξενεί 1050 άτομα, αλλά και τις απαραίτητες λειτουργικές υποδομές προσαρμοσμένες στις νέες ανάγκες του πληθυσμού. Ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον δίνεται στην ομαλή ένταξη των κτιριακών μονάδων και των λειτουργικών δικτύων, στο έντονο ανάγλυφο της περιοχής.

description: Aims. We study the soft X-ray emission induced by charge exchange (CX) collisions between solar-wind, highly charged ions and neutral atoms of the Martian exosphere. Methods. A 3D multi species hybrid simulation model with improved spatial resolution (130 km) is used to describe the interaction between the solar wind and the Martian neutrals. We calculated velocity and density distributions of the solar wind plasma in the Martian environment with realistic planetary ions description, using spherically symmetric exospheric H and O profiles. Following that, a 3D test-particle model was developed to compute the X-ray emission produced by CX collisions between neutrals and solar wind minor ions. The model results are compared to XMM-Newton observations of Mars. Results. We calculate projected X-ray emission maps for the XMM-Newton observing conditions and demonstrate how the X-ray emission reflects the Martian electromagnetic structure in accordance with the observed X-ray images. Our maps confirm that X-ray images are a powerful tool for the study of solar wind - planetary interfaces. However, the simulation results reveal several quantitative discrepancies compared to the observations. Typical solar wind and neutral coronae conditions corresponding to the 2003 observation period of Mars cannot reproduce the high luminosity or the corresponding very extended halo observed with XMM-Newton. Potential explanations of these discrepancies are discussed.

description: We report final-state-exclusive measurements of the light charged fragments in coincidence with 26Ne residual nuclei following the direct two-proton removal from a neutron-rich 28Mg secondary beam. A Dalitz-plot analysis and comparisons with simulations show that a majority of the triple- coincidence events with two protons display phase-space correlations consistent with the (two-body) kinematics of a spatially-correlated pair-removal mechanism. The fraction of such correlated events, 56(12) %, is consistent with the fraction of the calculated cross section, 64 %, arising from spin S = 0 two-proton configurations in the entrance-channel (shell-model) 28Mg ground state wave function. This result promises access to an additional and more specific probe of the spin and spatial correlations of valence nucleon pairs in exotic nuclei produced as fast secondary beams.

description: Introducción: La satisfacción laboral influye en los componentes biopsicosocial del trabajador, y su desempeño en el lugar de trabajo, en la vida personal, familiar, su salud, las relaciones interpersonales y desarrollo en la sociedad. Siendo el recurso humano importante para la empresa, lo será también el grado de satisfacción, ya que va a impactar en el rendimiento profesional y consecuentemente podrá afectar positiva o negativamente en el desempeño y calidad de vida. Objetivo: analizar la relación entre el tipo de contratación laboral y otros indicadores que determinan el nivel de satisfacción laboral en trabajadores de enfermería en un hospital del conurbano bonaerense. Métodos: Estudio transversal, no experimental, con enfoque cuantitativo, realizado en 2019 que incluyó a 90 profesionales de la enfermería. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó el cuestionario validado, donde se analizaron los siete factores de la satisfacción. Para el análisis de los datos se describieron las frecuencias relativas, absolutas y promedio. Resultados: de los 90 profesionales que participaron en el estudio, el 70% es femenino, la mayoría con una edad promedio entre los 41 y 50 años. Se identificó que el 54% son enfermeros profesionales, 33% licenciados y 13% con título de posgrado. Considerando las medias de los datos, la retribución económica es la menos satisfecha (69%), seguido por la seguridad y estabilidad que ofrece la empresa. Se encontró que el nivel de satisfacción de los trabajadores es medio. Al correlacionar los diferentes tipos de contratación se observa que los transitorios son los más insatisfechos. Conclusiones: al correlacionar el tipo de contratación se observa una correlación negativa en la seguridad y estabilidad laboral, las condiciones físicas y el entorno junto con las posibilidades de desarrollo tienen una satisfacción moderada en los tres tipos de contratación, en las demás variables en general los resultados son de satisfacción. Se recomienda que los enfermeros puedan tener la oportunidad de pasar a planta permanente, mejorar la retribución económica, crear un programa de reconocimiento y fomentar la capacitación y desarrollo profesional.

description: Pinning a fraction of particles from an equilibrium configuration in supercooled liquids has been recently proposed as a way to induce a new kind of glass transition, the Random Pinning Glass Transition (RPGT). The RPGT has been predicted to share some features of standard thermodynamic glass transitions and usual first order ones. Thanks to its special nature, the approach and the study of the RPGT appears to be a fairly reachable task compared to the daunting problem of inspecting standard glass transitions. In this Letter we generalize the pinning particle procedure. We study a mean-field system where the pinned configuration is extracted from the equilibrium distribution at temperature $T'$ and the thermodynamics of the non pinned particles is observed at a lower temperature $T$. A more complicated physics emerges from this generalization eventually clarifying the origin and the peculiar characteristics of the RPGT.

description: Significant progress in the development of efficient and fast algorithms for quantum chemical calculations has been made in the past two decades. The main focus has always been the desire to be able to treat ever larger molecules or molecular assemblies---especially linear and sub-linear scaling techniques are devoted to the accomplishment of this goal. However, as many chemical reactions are rather local, they usually involve only a limited number of atoms so that models of about two hundred (or even less) atoms embedded in a suitable environment are sufficient to study their mechanisms. Thus, the system size does not need to be enlarged, but remains constant for reactions of this type that can be described by less than two hundred atoms. The question then arises how fast one can obtain the quantum chemical results. This question is not directly answered by linear-scaling techniques. In fact, ideas such as haptic quantum chemistry or interactive quantum chemistry require an immediate provision of quantum chemical information which demands the calculation of data in "real time". In this perspective, we aim at a definition of real-time quantum chemistry, explore its realm and eventually discuss applications in the field of haptic quantum chemistry. For the latter we elaborate whether a direct approach is possible by virtue of real-time quantum chemistry.

description: We study the magnetoresistance of two-dimensional bosonic Anderson insulators. We describe the change in spatial decay of localized excitations in response to a magnetic field, which is given by an interference sum over alternative tunnelling trajectories. The excitations become more localized with increasing field (in sharp contrast to generic fermionic excitations which get weakly delocalized): the localization length ξ(B) is found to change as ξ^{-1}(B)-ξ^{-1}(0)\sim B^{4/5}. The quantum interference problem maps onto the classical statistical mechanics of directed polymers in random media (DPRM). We explain the observed scaling using a simplified droplet model which incorporates the non-trivial DPRM exponents. Our results have implications for a variety of experiments on magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-to-insulator transitions observed in disordered films, granular superconductors, and Josephson junction arrays, as well as for cold atoms in artificial gauge fields.

Laughter, Discomfort, and the Mechanics of Subversion: How Amy Schumer Uses Comedy and Performance to Change the Way We Think About Women a Thematic Analysis of Amy Schumer
Creators: name: Rosauri, Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Amy Schumer earned a spot as the first woman ever on Forbes Top Ten Highest Paid Comedians List. This was a huge accomplishment but it begs the question why Schumer is the first. Past research on female comedians like Lucille Ball and Lily Tomlin illuminates how comedy can be used as a rhetorical device and highlights the importance of women in comedy. Through an in-depth thematic analysis of Schumer's movies Trainwreck (2015), Snatched (2017), and I Feel Pretty (2018), this thesis examines how Schumer uses different comedic techniques and how that compares to the way other women used comedy in the past. The results reveal that Schumer employs comedic tactics to subvert and builds off of tactics used by previous female comedians. All of these tactics are used to comment on gender issues and break down gender stereotypes that are often harmful to society. Schumer's ability to subvert many of these structures that limited her predecessors are what has made her so successful and will allow future females to succeed in comedy.
Without Mandate for Conquest: A Transnational Comparison of Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon and Isabel Allende's Eva Luna

description: In our current age of globalization, multiculturalism is a key component of human relations. Place, when thought of as a geographic concept is more than just coordinates on a map, it is a concentration of a set of social relations. Geographers use this information to see how places are relational to other places. Morrison and Allende are relational because of their consciousness of place especially exhibited in Song of Solomon and Eva Luna. This project examines the disparate histories, politics, and landscapes that both authors emerged from, and argue the complexity of their work stems from thinking geographically, their conscious attempt to imagine their links with the wider world, rather than boxing themselves into genre, or taking a subservient position beside a great canonical "father". A common pitfall for scholars of the United States is to assume categories of difference or categories of dominance are universal across borders. This is demonstrated in scholarship that aims to compare writers from the United States and writers from Latin America based on the notion that they are marginalized.Scholarship that assumes "marginalization" is the same in North and South America is aiding in another construction of the "other", by universalizing what Mohanty calls, "the third world difference." Thinking of the components of a text within a constellation encourages analysis of the relationship between categories of both individual and place identities in their discursive setting. In their imagination of the inter-subjectivity between categories, Allende and Morrison portray power and weakness from all angles. Looking at literature geographically forces us to remove hierarchies and instead draws our attention to the subject's struggle against their material conditions.

Differences in Absenteeism Severity among Community Youth

Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: This study examined the relationship between school absenteeism severity and specific clinical and family variables in 118 middle and high school youth aged 11-19 years recruited from two truancy settings. The primary aim was to determine specific clinical and family variables that may be predictive of absenteeism severity in community youth. A secondary aim was to examine the level of absenteeism that warrants the most clinical concern. Hypotheses for the proposed study were based on the premise that characteristics of a community sample of youth with problematic absenteeism would generally resemble those identified in previous clinical samples. The first set of hypotheses involved specific clinical and family variables that may predict absenteeism severity evaluated on a dimensional basis. The second set of hypotheses involved potential differences in specific clinical and family variables between categorically defined levels of absenteeism. The first categorically defined levels of absenteeism were based on a definition of "high absence" as equal to or greater than 15% of days missed (Ingul et al., 2012). The second categorically defined levels of absenteeism were based on equivalent sample size distributions (0-19%, 20-53%, and 54-100%). Results revealed obsessions and compulsions as significant predictors of absenteeism severity on a dimensional basis. Results also revealed significant differences between categorically defined levels of absenteeism among various clinical variables, specifically internalizing symptoms. A majority of these differences occurred between the first and second levels of absenteeism severity, suggesting that youth with a level of absenteeism severity between 15-60% may be of the most clinical concern. These findings have important implications for the early identification and treatment of at-risk youth.
Scardovia Wiggsiae Prevalence in Orthodontic Patients

description: Dental caries has mainly been associated with Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Actinomyces and Veillonella species. But in recent salivary studies a new cariogenic pathogen, has been identified. This new bacteria, Scardovia wiggsiae (SW), is currently being tested within the UNLV School of Dental Medicine patient population. Although these current studies are being conducted to study its prevalence in both pediatric and adult populations, it has not been evaluated among patients with an altered oral environment as seen in patients with orthodontic appliances. Fixed orthodontic appliances increase the difficulty of removing daily plaque on and in between the teeth with standard oral hygiene practices. Approximately 73% of orthodontic patients get at least one new lesion during orthodontic care. Understanding the cause of cavities and the key bacteria involved in patients with orthodontic appliances will help us learn how to best evaluate the risk of caries during orthodontic treatment and design strategies for reducing or preventing this disease process. The initial focus of this study will be to assess health parameters among orthodontic patient samples for comparison with non-orthodontic patients. We will also compare SW prevalence among the orthodontic patient samples with samples taken from non-orthodontic patients. Other microbial prevalence data will also be concurrently evaluated, including S. mutans, and P. gingivalis prevalence  which will also be analyzed in conjunction with the aforementioned health parameters.

Testing Established Models of Hydrothermal Fluid Distribution Around Porphyry Deposits: The Application of Fluid Inclusion Research to Porphyry Deposit Exploration
Creators: name: Bain, Wyatt Moyer
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2015

description: The Kabba porphyry copper prospect in northwestern Arizona contains two zones of porphyry style mineralization and alteration, which are spatially separated by a north-south trending normal fault. These two zones are referred to as the Kabba footwall and hanging wall and are hypothesized to represent the root and intermediate depth levels of the same porphyry-like hydrothermal system, respectively. If this hypothesis is correct, then fluid inclusions found in the hanging wall and footwall should have the physical and chemical characteristics of fluid inclusions in the root and intermediate depth levels of other known porphyry deposits. Vein and alteration petrography, fluid inclusion petrography and microthermometry, and Raman and LA-ICP-MS analyses of individual fluid inclusions from Kabba footwall and hanging wall samples lead to the following observations: 1) the textures and paragenetic sequence of alteration and mineralization in the Kabba hanging wall is almost identical to the textures and paragenetic sequence of alteration and mineralization in the footwall, 2) the mineralization and alteration in the Kabba prospect is consistent with the footwall and hanging wall having formed in the deep roots and intermediate zones to a porphyry-like hydrothermal system, respectively, 3) the distribution of fluid inclusion types in the footwall and hanging wall broadly matches the distribution of fluid inclusion types in the deep roots and intermediate zones of other porphyry systems, 4) the chemical and physical conditions of fluid inclusions in the Kabba system are very similar to the chemical and physical conditions of fluid inclusions in the Butte porphyry system in Montana, 5) Cu concentrations in fluid inclusions from Kabba are highest in inclusions with the lowest Sr, Rb, and Ba, and 6) Cu concentrations were consistently high in vapor-rich fluid inclusions. These observations strongly suggest that the mineralization and alteration in the Kabba system formed at great depth in a porphyry-like hydrothermal system, and that the hanging wall and footwall represent the root and intermediate depth levels of that system. Based on the microthermometric behavior of fluid inclusions from the hanging wall and footwall it is interpreted that, 1) the mineralization and alteration in the Kabba system formed via 5 episodes of hydrothermal fluid flux through the footwall and hanging wall, 2) immiscibility may have played a role in forming the mineralization in the hanging wall, 3) fluids went from being H2O to CO2-rich over time, 4) the Kabba footwall and hanging wall formed at pressures between 2500-3000 bars (10-12 km) and 1500-2000 bars (6-8 km), respectively, 6) fluids in the footwall and hanging wall were trapped between
Empirical Study of Concurrent Programming Paradigms
Creators: name: Daleiden, Patrick M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2016

description: Various concurrent programming paradigms have been proposed by language designers in an effort to simplify some of the unique constructs required to handle concurrent programming tasks. Despite these different approaches, however, there has been no general clear winner accepted by software developers and different paradigms are regarded to have strengths and weaknesses in certain areas. This thesis was motivated by the desire to investigate the question of whether or not there are measurable differences between two widely differing paradigms for concurrent programming: Threads vs. Communicating Sequential Processes. The mechanism for observing and comparing these paradigms was a randomized controlled trial of two groups of participants who completed identical tasks in one of the two paradigms. The study was run in Fall 2015 with 88 student participants primarily from the Department of Computer Science at UNLV. I examined programming accuracy and comprehension rates among participants in three different common shared memory problem areas introduced by concurrent programming. The results were measured using a token accuracy map algorithm which matches the token strings of a participants answer compared to a correct solution. The overall results show that for two relatively straightforward tasks using shared processes and memory, both paradigms were reasonably well understood, with a possible small learning advantage in favor of CSP in two of the tasks. In a more complex example combining task co-ordination and memory sharing, however, the participants in the CSP group struggled to grasp the guarded blocking and communication channels needed in the CSP model and performed
measurably worse.

Therefore, while they are good to perform, they are not bad to omit, unlike obligatory moral behaviors which are considered moral duties, and thus good to perform but bad to omit. It is puzzling why supererogation is performed at all, since it is not obligated; often costly (Kahn, 1992) and can even elicit negative reactions from others (Minson & Monin, 2012). This begs the question - what are some benefits of supererogation for the actor, that might motivate its performance? The present research aimed to answer this by examining meaning and happiness as positive consequences of supererogation. In Study 1 (N = 98), participants provided examples of behaviors they considered obligatory and supererogatory, and answered questions about their perceptions of the actions. We found that although both supererogation and obligation were considered equally ethical, there was greater expectation of meaning and happiness from the performance of supererogatory, than obligatory behaviors. Study 2 (N = 200) examined how perceptions of supererogation and obligation for the same actions were associated with meaning and happiness. Nine items were chosen from the most frequent obligatory and supererogatory examples from Study 1. Findings revealed that perceived supererogation predicted greater meaning and happiness in life, and that perceived choice both mediated and moderated this relationship. Taken together, supererogatory behaviors may be associated with enhanced meaning and happiness in life, relative to obligatory behaviors.

description: In general, there is an inverse relation between the degree of localization of a wavefunction of a certain class and its transform representation dictated by the scaling property of the Fourier transform. We report that in the case of finite energy Airy wavepackets a simultaneous increase in their localization in the direct and transform domains can be obtained as the apodization parameter is varied. One consequence of this is that the far field diffraction rate of a finite energy Airy beam decreases as the beam localization at the launch plane increases. We analyse the asymptotic properties of finite energy Airy wavefunctions using the stationary phase method. We obtain one dominant contribution to the long term evolution that admits a Gaussian-like approximation, which displays the expected reduction of its broadening rate as the input localization is increased.

description: A precise definition for a quantum electron thermometer is given, as an electron reservoir coupled locally (e.g., by tunneling) to a sample, and brought into electrical and thermal equilibrium with it. A realistic model of a scanning thermal microscope with atomic resolution is then developed, where the resolution is limited in ultrahigh vacuum by thermal coupling to the electromagnetic environment. We show that the temperatures of individual atomic orbitals or bonds in a conjugated molecule with a temperature gradient across it exhibit quantum oscillations, whose origin can be traced to a realization of Maxwell's demon at the single-molecule level. These oscillations may be understood in terms of the rules of covalence describing bonding in π-electron systems. Fourier's law of heat conduction is recovered as the resolution of the temperature probe is reduced, indicating that the macroscopic law emerges as a consequence of coarse graining.

description: Diese Publikation widmet sich den Fragen, welche Kompetenzen in Bezug auf Selbstständigkeit von den Schüler*innen im Verlauf der Eingangsphase des Oberstufen-Kollegs erwartet werden, welches Verständnis von Selbstständigkeit die Akteur*innen der Eingangsphase aufweisen, welche Konzepte zur Förderung von Selbstständigkeit von ihnen verfolgt werden und welche Herausforderungen sich hierdurch sowie durch die institutionellen Strukturen für die Schüler*innen ergeben. Dazu wird zunächst Selbstständigkeit als pädagogischer Horizont theoretisch beschrieben und mit den drei Begriffen der produktiven, funktionalen und instrumentellen Selbstständigkeit ausdifferenziert. Der hierbei neu eingeführte Begriff der instrumentellen Selbstständigkeit eröffnet mit dem Konzept der „Zone der nächsten Entwicklung“ auf Basis der Arbeiten Wygotskis (1987) den Blick auf konkrete Lernprozesse, die durch Lernende selbst und mit professioneller Unterstützung initiiert werden. Die instrumentelle Selbstständigkeit wird anschließend auf eine, aus den Arbeiten Ludwig Hubers (1994, 1998, 2010) abgeleitete Vorstellung von Studierfähigkeit bezogen. Dieser theoretische Rahmen wird um eine Darstellung institutioneller Strukturen für das Selbstständigwerden auf verschiedenen Ebenen (KMK, NRW, Oberstufen-Kolleg) sowie um eine Darstellung der Unterrichtsstrukturen am Oberstufen-Kolleg ergänzt. Unter Berücksichtigung dieser theoretischen Überlegungen werden leitfadengestützte Interviews mit verschiedenen Akteur*innen aus der pädagogischen Praxis der Eingangsphase (Lehrende verschiedener Basiskurse, Schulsozialarbeit, Laufbahnberatung, Projektkoordination) nach der Methode des thematischen Kodierens ausgewertet. Dabei werden verschiedene Vorstellungen zu einer pädagogischen Hinführung zur Selbstständigkeit entfaltet und systematisch auf die Ebenen des Unterrichts und der Institution bezogen.

description: Most existing image denoising algorithms can only deal with a single type of noise, which violates the fact that the noisy observed images in practice are often suffered from more than one type of noise during the process of acquisition and transmission. In this paper, we propose a new variational algorithm for mixed Gaussian-impulse noise removal by exploiting image local consistency and nonlocal consistency simultaneously. Specifically, the local consistency is measured by a hyper-Laplace prior, enforcing the local smoothness of images, while the nonlocal consistency is measured by three-dimensional sparsity of similar blocks, enforcing the nonlocal self-similarity of natural images. Moreover, a Split-Bregman based technique is developed to solve the above optimization problem efficiently. Extensive experiments for mixed Gaussian plus impulse noise show that significant performance improvements over the current state-of-the-art schemes have been achieved, which substantiates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
