On Some Aspects of the Differential Operator
Creators: name: Mathew, Panakkal
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: The Differential Operator D is a linear operator from C1[0,1] onto C[0,1]. Its domain C1[0,1] is thoroughly studied as a meager subspace of 
C[0,1]. This is analogous to the status of the set of all rational numbers Q in the set of the real numbers R. 
   On the polynomial vector space Pn the Differential Operator D is a nilpotent operator. Using the invariant subspace and reducing subspace technique an appropriate basis for the underlying vector space can be found so that the nilpotent operator admits its Jordan Canonical form. The study of D on Pn is completely carried out. Finally, the solution space V of the nth order differential equation with leading coefficient one is studied. The behavior of D on V is explored using some notions from linear algebra and linear operators.

Assessing the Effect of Prior Distribution Assumption on the Variance Parameters in Evaluating Bioequivalence Trials
Creators: name: Ujamaa, Dawud
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Bioequivalence determines if two drugs are alike.  The three kinds of bioequivalence are Average, Population, and Individual Bioequivalence.  These Bioequivalence criteria can be evaluated using aggregate and disaggregate methods.  Considerable work assessing bioequivalence in a frequentist method exists, but the advantages of Bayesian methods for Bioequivalence have been recently explored.  Variance parameters are essential to any of theses existing Bayesian Bioequivalence metrics.  Usually, the prior distributions for model parameters use either informative priors or vague priors.  The Bioequivalence inference may be sensitive to the prior distribution on the variances.  Recently, there have been questions about the routine use of inverse gamma priors for variance parameters.  In this paper we examine the effect that changing the prior distribution of the variance parameters has on Bayesian models for assessing Bioequivalence and the carry-over effect.  We explore our method with some real data sets from the FDA.

Evaluation of Hedge Funds Performance
Creators: name: Qian, Jing
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Hedge funds are private investment funds characterized by unconventional strategies. This thesis employed multi-factor CAPM to evaluate the performance, or manager skill of hedge funds investment segments by using CSFB/Tremont Hedge Fund Indices from January 1994 to September 2005. The performance evaluation is based on the concept of ­øJansen­?s alpha­ñ, which is estimated by applying Generalized Method of Moment. The finding is that hedge funds industry in general displayed the ability to outperform market proxy. Global Macro shows the strongest manager skill, followed by Event Driven, Equity Market Neutral and Long/Short Equity. This thesis also investigates the consistency of hedge funds performance over market environment. It was discovered that the hedge funds industry in general and all the sub-category investment segments except Convertibly Arbitrage, Emerging Market and Fix income Arbitrage displayed the ability to cushion the impact of financial shocks.
Changepoint Analysis of HIV Marker Responses
Creators: name: Rogers, Joy
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: We will propose a random changepoint model for the analysis of longitudinal CD4 and CD8 T-cell counts, as well as viral RNA loads, for HIV infected subjects following highly active antiretroviral treatment.  The data was taken from two studies, one of the Aids Clinical Group Trial 398 and one performed by the Terry Beirn Community Programs for Clinical Research on AIDS.  Models were created with the changepoint following both exponential and truncated normal distributions.  The estimation of the changepoints was performed in a Bayesian analysis, with implementation in the WinBUGS software using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods.  For model selection, we used the deviance information criterion (DIC), a two term measure of model adequacy and complexity.  DIC indicates that the data support a random changepoint model with the changepoint following an exponential distribution.  Visual analyses of the posterior densities of the parameters also support these conclusions.

Spectrally Arbitrary Tree Sign Pattern Matrices
Creators: name: Kaphle, Krishna
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: A sign pattern (matrix) is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,?, 0}. A sign pattern matrix A is a spectrally arbitrary pattern if for every monic real polynomial p(x) of degree n there exists a real matrix B whose entries agree in sign with A such that the characteristic polynomial of B is p(x). All 3 ? 3 SAP's, as well as tree sign patterns with star graphs that are SAP's, have already been characterized. We investigate tridiagonal sign patterns of order 4. All irreducible tridiagonal SAP's are identified. Necessary and sufficient conditions for an irreducible tridiagonal pattern to be an SAP are found. Some new techniques, such as innovative applications of Gr”bner bases for demonstrating that a sign pattern is not potentially nilpotent, are introduced. Some properties of sign patterns that allow every possible inertia are established.

Measurement of the top-quark mass using a leptonic invariant mass in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: A measurement of the top-quark mass (mt) in the tt¯→ lepton+jets channel is presented, with an experimental technique which exploits semileptonic decays of b-hadrons produced in the top-quark decay chain. The distribution of the invariant mass m`µ of the lepton, ` (with ` = e, µ), from the W-boson decay and the muon, µ, originating from the b-hadron decay is reconstructed, and a binned-template profile likelihood fit is performed to extract mt . The measurement is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1 of √ s = 13 TeV pp collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The measured value of the top-quark mass is mt = 174.41 ± 0.39 (stat.) ± 0.66 (syst.) ± 0.25 (recoil) GeV, where the third uncertainty arises from changing the Pythia8 parton shower gluon-recoil scheme, used in top-quark decays, to a recently developed setup.

description: The formal representation of cultural metadata has always been a challenge, considering both the heterogeneity of cultural objects and the need to document the interpretive act exercised by experts. This article provides an overview of the revalorization of the digital collection Mythologiae in Linked Open Data format. The research aims to explore the data of a collection of artworks (Mythologiae) by promoting the potential of the Semantic Web, focusing particularly on the formal representation of the association of cultural objects with literary sources, as realized by experts, also documenting their interpretations. The workflow consisted of defining the data model, cleaning and disambiguating the data, converting it (from tabular structure to graph), and conducting testing activities (particularly expert domain review of the dataset through competency questions and data visualizations). The result is the mythLOD platform, which presents the dataset and detailed research documentation. Additionally, the platform hosts two data visualization spaces (the online catalogue and a data storytelling experiment on the case study of the Aeneid) that enrich the project documentation as user-friendly test units for the dataset and constitute an additional project documentation tool and exploration of the collection.

ABSTRACT

Hypertension and smoking are two major issues threatening the nation?s health. Previous studies examining their relationship have resulted in conflicting reports. The aim of this study is to determine if a relationship exists between smoking cessation and hypertension diagnosis. Data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) were used in this investigation. Physical examination measurements of blood pressure and self-reported diagnosis and smoking behavior were used to define hypertension and smoking status. The odds of prior hypertension diagnosis associated with smoking cessation was estimated from a multivariate logistic regression model, adjusting for gender, age, ethnicity, BMI, physical activity, HDL cholesterol, and alcohol use. Results of the investigation found that unsuccessful smoking cessation was associated with a decreased odds of prior hypertension diagnosis, adjusting for the presence of confounders (OR=0.816, p<.001). Thus, hypertension diagnosis may indeed lead to the decision to quit smoking. Future studies on this finding are encouraged.

Characterizations in Domination Theory

Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set R is a restrained dominating set (total restrained
dominating set, resp.) if every vertex in V ? R (V) is adjacent to a vertex in R
and (every vertex in V ?R) to a vertex in V ?R. The restrained domination number of G (total restrained domination number of G), denoted by gamma_r(G) (gamma_tr(G)), is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set (total restrained dominating set) of G. If T is a tree of order n, then gamma_r(T) is greater than or equal to (n+2)/3. We show that gamma_tr(T) is greater than or equal to (n+2)/2. Moreover, we show that if n is congruent to 0 mod 4, then gamma_tr(T) is greater than or equal to (n+2)/2 + 1. We then constructively characterize the extremal trees achieving these lower bounds. Finally, if G is a graph of order n greater than or equal to 2, such that both G and G' are not isomorphic to P_3, then gamma_r(G) + gamma_r(G') is greater than or equal to 4 and less than or equal to n +2. We provide a similar result for total restrained domination and characterize the extremal graphs G of order n achieving these bounds.
title: Young people’s perspectives on school support for cyberbullying victims: A qualitative study

description: Background: To date, research shows that multiple barriers exist in post-primary schools preventing cyberbullying victims from accessing support. Studies reveal that school personnel’s limited understanding of cyberbullying and a deficit in youth-centred support systems hinder victims from coming forward for support. There continues to be a dearth of qualitative research on cyberbullying from adolescents’ perspectives and scarce studies looking at how forms of school support can be improved for young adolescent victims. As such, this study aimed to investigate young people’s (aged 13-15) perspectives on school support for cyberbullying victims, focusing on the Irish post-primary school context. Methods: Semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 51 post-primary school students (16 girls, 34 boys, and 1 student who preferred not to label their gender) in Galway County, Ireland who were between the ages of 13 and 15. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling (i.e. school PPI research contacts). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: Two main themes were found: (1) Trusting relationships and trustworthy systems of school support, and (2) Peer support. Being able to trust educators and support services for victims is key to helping young people feel comfortable reaching out for help. Building a trusting relationship with students involves adults showing their care for them. It also requires staff to possess appropriate knowledge and skills to help stop cyberbullying. Systems of support at school also need to be tailored to young people’s needs and recognise their agency. Moreover, peers’ demonstrating empathy for victims can help individuals recover and reconnect with classmates. Victims can cultivate better resilience by making new friends and strengthening their social connections at school. Lastly, schools can support students in building healthy rapport and friendships by hosting group social activities and workshops to help young people connect with one another. Conclusion: Good relationships with educators and peers are the most valuable form of support for cyberbullying victims at school. Emotional support from both groups helps victims recover psychologically and socially. Furthermore, support systems need to change to meet victims’ privacy and emotional needs better. Schools need to also support staff in building trusting relationships with students and should also prioritise teaching youth how to support victims after an incident.

description: With increasing global urbanisation, urban ecology has become an essential aspect of native species conservation. The Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), typically found in rural woodlands, can also thrive in urban parks and green spaces if there is sufficient tree cover., Maintaining connectivity between suitable habitats is crucial to prevent population isolation and link established populations. This project investigated the suitability of urban habitats for red squirrels. The initial study was conducted in Galway City, an urban area in western Ireland where invasive grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) are absent. Using non-invasive monitoring techniques, including hair tube surveys, trail camera surveys, and a citizen science survey, we determined the distribution of red squirrels across Galway's urban centre. Red squirrels were found to be established in three woodlands in Galway's urban centre, with transient red squirrels from these populations observed in surrounding green urban areas. Notably, they were absent from other seemingly suitable woodlands in the city. Red squirrels preferred broadleaf habitats in summer due to greater food availability but were detected less frequently with hair tubes in that habitat during spring. Squirrels observed in green spaces surrounding woodlands exploited anthropogenic food sources, including bird feeders, a behaviour linked to higher population densities in other urban areas. The population demographics of one of the identified red squirrel populations in a fragmented woodland in Galway were examined through live trapping. Radio tracking techniques were employed to examine the habitat usage of individuals in Menlo. Mean population densities were estimated at 0.63 squirrels per hectare using the Lincoln Index in a 23.8-hectare broadleaf woodland. Mean body weight of the squirrels was 268.6g, which is lower than typical values from Britain and Ireland. The weight of male squirrels exhibited greater stability over the course of the study compared to females, which demonstrated more pronounced fluctuations. Low fecundity was attributed to lower body weight, resulting in fewer second litters.

Estimate the True Pass Probability for Near-Real-Time Monitor Challenge Data Using Bayesian Analysis
Creators: name: Xiao, Yuqing

description: The U.S. Army­?s Chemical Demilitarization are designed to store, treat and destroy the nation­?s aging chemical weapons. It operates Near-Real-Time Monitors and Deport Area Monitoring Systems to detect chemical agent at concentrations before they become dangerous to workers, public health and the environment. CDC recommends that the sampling and analytical methods measure within 25% of the true concentration 95% of the time, and if this criterion is not met the alarm set point or reportable level should be adjusted. Two methods were provided by Army­?s Programmatic Laboratory and Monitoring Quality Assurance Plan to evaluate the monitoring systems based on CDC recommendations. This thesis addresses the potential problems associated with these two methods and proposes the Bayesian method in an effort to improve the assessment. Comparison of simulation results indicates that Bayesian method produces a relatively better estimate for verifying monitoring system performance as long as the prior given is correct.

Analyzing the Effects of Adolescent Risky Behaviors on Suicidal Ideation
Creators: name: Sanchez, Marchelle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: This study is an analysis of adolescent risk behaviors contributing to an increased rate of suicidal ideation for 12 to 18 year olds.  The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Survey (YRBSS) is an epidemiologic survey designed to monitor the prevalence of risky behaviors of adolescents in middle and high school1.  The YRBSS is a complex sample survey with a three-stage cluster design.  Multiple logistic regression is used to analyze the data, including methods of analysis to address issues in complex survey design.  Results of this study indicate several different risk factors that influence the rate of suicidal ideation among adolescents, including alcohol and drug use, sexual risky behaviors, unhealthy weight loss methods, depressed mood, sex and race/ethnicity.   The conclusions of this study indicate that many risk factors associated with suicidal ideation are behaviors that could be addressed with early intervention strategies to reduce the risk of suicidal ideation.

description: Hausdorff and box dimension are two familiar notions of fractal dimension. Box dimension can be larger than Hausdorff dimension, because in the definition of box dimension, all sets in the cover have the same diameter, but for Hausdorff dimension there is no such restriction. This thesis focuses on a family of dimensions parameterised by $θ\in (0,1)$, called the intermediate dimensions, which are defined by requiring that $\mbox{diam}(U) \leq (\mbox{diam}(V))^θ$ for all sets $U,V$ in the cover.
 We begin by generalising the intermediate dimensions to allow for greater refinement in how the relative sizes of the covering sets are restricted. These new dimensions can recover the interpolation between Hausdorff and box dimension for compact sets whose intermediate dimensions do not tend to the Hausdorff dimension as $θ\to 0$. We also use a Moran set construction to prove a necessary and sufficient condition, in terms of Dini derivatives, for a given function to be realised as the intermediate dimensions of a set.
 We proceed to prove that the intermediate dimensions of limit sets of infinite conformal iterated function systems are given by the maximum of the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set and the intermediate dimensions of the set of fixed points of the contractions. This applies to sets defined using continued fraction expansions, and has applications to dimensions of projections, fractional Brownian images, and general Hölder images.
 Finally, we determine a formula for the intermediate dimensions of all self-affine Bedford-McMullen carpets. The functions display features not witnessed in previous examples, such as having countably many phase transitions. We deduce that two carpets have equal intermediate dimensions if and only if the multifractal spectra of the corresponding uniform Bernoulli measures coincide.

Longitudinal Curves for Behaviors of Children Diagnosed with A Brain Tumor
Creators: name: Chai, Huayan
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Change in adaptive outcomes of children who are treated for brain tumors is examined using longitudinal data. The children received different types of treatment from none to any combinations of three treatments, which are surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In this thesis, we use mixed model to find the significant variables that predict change in outcomes of communication skill, daily living skills and socialization skill. Fractional polynomial transformation method and Gompertz method are applied to build non-linear longitudinal curves. We use PRESS as the criterion to compare these two methods. Comparison analysis shows the effect of each significant variable on adaptive behaviors over time. In most cases, model with Gompertz method is better than that with Transformation method. Significant predictors of change in adaptive outcomes include Time, Gender, Surgery, SES classes, interaction between Time and Radiation, interaction between Time and Gender, interaction between Age and Gender.
Forecasting the Chinese Futures Markets Prices of Soy Bean and Green Bean Commodities

Year: 2007

description: Using both single and vector processes, we fitted the Box-Jenkin?s ARIMA model and the Vector Autoregressive model following the Johansen approach, to forecast soy bean and green bean prices on the Chinese futures markets. The results are encouraging and provide empirical evidence that the vector processes perform better than the single series. The co-integration test indicated that the null hypothesis of no co-integration among the relevant variables could be rejected. This is one of the most important findings in this paper. The purposes for analyzing and modeling the series jointly are to understand the dynamic relationships over time among the series and improve the accuracy of forecasts for individuals series by utilizing the additional information available from the related series in the forecasts for each series.

Two simplified models of R-parity-conserving supersymmetry are considered: direct pairproduction of sleptons (˜` ˜`), with each decaying into a charged lepton and a χ˜ 0 1 neutralino, and direct pair-production of the lightest charginos (χ˜ ± 1 χ˜ ∓ 1 ), with each decaying into a Wboson and a χ˜ 0 1 . The lightest neutralino (χ˜ 0 1 ) is assumed to be the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). The analyses target the experimentally challenging mass regions where m( ˜`) − m(χ˜ 0 1 ) and m(χ˜ ± 1 ) − m(χ˜ 0 1 ) are close to the W-boson mass (‘moderately compressed’ regions). The search uses 139 fb−1 of √ s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excesses over the expected background are observed. Exclusion limits on the simplified models under study are reported in the (˜`, χ˜ 0 1 ) and (χ˜ ± 1 , χ˜ 0 1 ) mass planes at 95% confidence level (CL). Sleptons with masses up to 150 GeV are excluded at 95% CL for the case of a mass-splitting between sleptons and the LSP of 50 GeV. Chargino masses up to 140 GeV are excluded at 95% CL for the case of a mass-splitting between the chargino and the LSP down to about 100 GeV

The Square Root Function of a Matrix
Creators: name: Gordon, Crystal
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Having origins in the increasingly popular Matrix Theory, the square root function of a matrix has received notable attention in recent years. In this thesis, we discuss some of the more common matrix functions and their general properties, but we specifically explore the square root function of a matrix and the most efficient method (Schur decomposition) of computing it. Calculating the square root of a 2?2 matrix by the Cayley-Hamilton Theorem is highlighted, along with square roots of positive semidefinite matrices and general square roots using the Jordan Canonical Form.

description: Effective grammar instruction is crucial for language learners to develop proficiency in communication. This article explores various strategies and approaches to teach grammar effectively in educational settings. Drawing from pedagogical theories and empirical research, it examines the importance of integrating grammar instruction into meaningful contexts, fostering learner engagement through interactive activities, and providing explicit instruction with ample opportunities for practice and feedback. Additionally, it discusses the role of technology in grammar instruction and emphasizes the significance of creating a supportive learning environment that encourages experimentation and error correction. By implementing these strategies, educators can enhance grammar instruction and facilitate language acquisition among learners.

Omnibus Tests for Comparison of Competing Risks with Covariate Effects via Additive Risk Model
Creators: name: Nguyen, Duytrac
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: It is of interest that researchers study competing risks in which subjects may fail from any one of K causes. Comparing any two competing risks with covariate effects is very important in medical studies. This thesis develops omnibus tests for comparing cause-specific hazard rates and cumulative incidence functions at specified covariate levels. In the thesis, the omnibus tests are derived under the additive risk model, that is an alternative to the proportional hazard model, with by a weighted difference of estimates of cumulative cause-specific hazard rates. Simultaneous confidence bands for the difference of two conditional cumulative incidence functions are also constructed. A simulation procedure is used to sample from the null distribution of the test process in which the graphical and numerical techniques are used to detect the significant difference in the risks. A melanoma data set is used for the purpose of illustration.
Spectrally Arbitrary and Inertially Arbitrary Sign Pattern Matrices
Creators: name: Demir, Nilay
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: A sign pattern(matrix) is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. An n x n sign pattern matrix is a spectrally arbitrary pattern(SAP) if for every monic real polynomial p(x) of degree n, there exists a real matrix B whose entries agree in sign with A such that the characteristic polynomial of B is p(x). An n x n pattern A is an inertialy arbitrary pattern(IAP) if (r,s,t) belongs to the inertia set of A for every nonnegative triple (r,s,t) with r+s+t=n. Some elementary results on these two classes of patterns are first exhibited. Tree sign patterns are then investigated, with a special emphasis on 4 x 4 tridiagonal sign patterns. Connections between the SAP(IAP) classes and the classes of potentially nilpotent and potentially stable patterns are explored. Some interesting open questions are also provided.
Bayesian Approach to Three-Arm Non Inferiority Trials
Creators: name: Britton, Marcus
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: In non-inferiority trials, the goal is to show how an experimental treatment is statistically and clinically not inferior to the active control.  The three-arm clinical trial usually recommended for non-inferiority trials by the FDA. The three-arm trial consists of a placebo, reference, and an experimental treatment.  The three-arm trial shows the superiority of the reference over the placebo and comparison of the reference to an experimental treatment.  In this paper, I will assess a non-inferiority trial with Bayesian methods.  By employing Bayesian analysis, the parameters are random and assign vague prior distributions.  I will compare the models involving different prior distributions to assess the best fit model.

Analyzing the Behavior of Rats by Repeated Measurements
Creators: name: Hall, Kenita
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Longitudinal data, which is also known as repeated measures, has grown increasingly within the past years because of its ability to monitor change both within and between subjects. Statisticians in many fields of study have chosen this way of collecting data because it is cost effective and it minimizes the number of subjects required to produce a meaningful outcome. This thesis will explore the world of longitudinal studies to gain a thorough understanding of why this type of collecting data has grown so rapidly. This study will also describe several methods to analyze repeated measures using data collected on the behavior of both adolescent and adult rats. The question of interest is to see if there is a change in the mean response over time and if the covariates (age, bodyweight, gender, and time) influence those changes. After much testing, our data set has a positive nonlinear change in the mean response over time within the age and gender groups. Using a model that included random effects proved to be a better method than models that did not use any random effects. Taking the log of the response variable and using day as the random effect was overall a better fit for our dataset. The transformed model also showed all covariates except for age as being significant.

description: Urbanization and inequalities are two of the major policy themes of our time, intersecting in large cities where social and economic inequalities are particularly pronounced. Large scale street-level images are a source of city-wide visual information and allow for comparative analyses of multiple cities. Computer vision methods based on deep learning applied to street images have been shown to successfully measure inequalities in socioeconomic and environmental features, yet existing work has been within specific geographies and have not looked at how visual environments compare across different cities and countries. In this study, we aim to apply existing methods to understand whether, and to what extent, poor and wealthy groups live in visually similar neighborhoods across cities and countries. We present novel insights on similarity of neighborhoods using street-level images and deep learning methods. We analyzed 7.2 million images from 12 cities in five high-income countries, home to more than 85 million people: Auckland (New Zealand), Sydney (Australia), Toronto and Vancouver (Canada), Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C. (United States of America), and London (United Kingdom). Visual features associated with neighborhood disadvantage are more distinct and unique to each city than those associated with affluence. For example, from what is visible from street images, high density poor neighborhoods located near the city center (e.g., in London) are visually distinct from poor suburban neighborhoods characterized by lower density and lower accessibility (e.g., in Atlanta). This suggests that differences between two cities is also driven by historical factors, policies, and local geography. Our results also have implications for image-based measures of inequality in cities especially when trained on data from cities that are visually distinct from target cities. We showed that these are more prone to errors for disadvantaged areas especially when transferring across cities, suggesting more attention needs to be paid to improving methods for capturing heterogeneity in poor environment across cities around the world.
CHALLENGES FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN THE FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSROOM
Creators: name: Olimova, Matluba
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to communicate in multiple languages has become invaluable. However, students with special educational needs often face significant challenges in foreign language classrooms, hindering their access to multilingual competencies and limiting their academic and socio-emotional development. This thesis explores the common difficulties encountered by students with special needs in foreign language learning and advocates for the implementation of specialized instructional strategies and accommodations to support their language acquisition. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study identifies academic, socio-emotional, instructional, and systemic challenges, as well as evidence-based approaches to address them. Findings underscore the importance of inclusive foreign language education, highlighting its cognitive, academic, and social-emotional benefits for students with special needs. By prioritizing inclusive practices and systemic change, educators and policymakers can create more accessible and supportive foreign language learning environments for all learners.
An Extension of Ramsey's Theorem to Multipartite Graphs
Creators: name: Cook, Brian
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2007

description: Ramsey Theorem, in the most simple form, states that if we are given a positive integer l, there exists a minimal integer r(l), called the Ramsey number, such any partition of the edges of K_r(l) into two sets, i.e. a 2-coloring,  yields a copy of K_l contained entirely in one of the partitioned sets, i.e. a monochromatic copy of Kl. We prove an extension of Ramsey's Theorem, in the more general form, by replacing complete graphs by multipartite graphs in both senses, as the partitioned set and as the desired monochromatic graph. More formally, given integers l and k, there exists an integer 
p(m) such that any 2-coloring of the edges of the complete multipartite graph K_p(m);r(k) yields a monochromatic copy of K_m;k . 

The tools that are used to prove this result are the Szemeredi Regularity Lemma and the Blow Up Lemma.  A full proof of the Regularity Lemma is given. The Blow-Up Lemma is merely stated, but other graph embedding results are given. It is also shown that certain embedding conditions on classes of graphs, namely (f , ?) -embeddability, provides a method to bound the order of the multipartite Ramsey numbers on the graphs. This provides a method to prove that a large class of graphs, including trees, graphs of bounded degree, and planar graphs, has a linear bound, in terms of the number of vertices, on the multipartite Ramsey number.
