Operations scheduling with renewable and non-renewable resources
Creators: name: Wang, Shengbin

Year: 2014

description: We study a supply chain operations scheduling problem subject to both renewable  and non-renewable resources. After an operation has been completed, the non-renewable  resource is consumed whereas the renewable resource may be resumed for the next  operation. Of both the renewable and the non-renewable resources, limited amounts are  available and they need to be delivered to the locations where they are needed. The  operations have deadlines, and the availability of the renewable resources depends on the  sequence of the operations. Our problem is to find a coordinated operations schedule for  the non-renewable and renewable resources so that the total tardiness across all the  customers in the given network is minimized.  Part 1 of this dissertation presents an overview of existing solution methodologies for  integrated supply chain operations scheduling/planning problems involving production,  inventory, distribution, and routing. We take into account problems dealing with  operational decisions and classify them according to their characteristics, such as time  constraints and routing decisions that are directly related to our research problem. Various  methodologies are presented and discussed, and their possible integrations, combinations,  and extensions are discussed.  In Part 2 of the dissertation, we build a mixed integer-programming model, present a  complexity classification for our problem, and show where the borderline lies between  NP-Hardness and polynomial time solvability. We analyze the structural properties of our  problem, provide strongly polynomial-time solutions for several special cases that have  practical applications, and identify the cases that are computationally intractable. Finally,  we propose a framework of heuristic procedures for solving more general versions of this  problem.  In Part 3 of this study, we introduce a mathematical programming based rolling  horizon heuristic that is able to locate near optimal solutions within ten-minute of CPU  time for networks up to 80 customer service operations. This heuristic solves the problem  through an iterative process. In each iteration, a subset of customers and a subset of  batches of non-renewable resources, together with the travel teams (renewable resources),  are scheduled by solving a respective optimization problem of a much smaller size.  Through an extensive empirical study with over 5,000 randomly generated test cases  under various parameters, the empirical error gaps of this proposed solution approach,  when compared to the best solution obtained by a commercial optimizer within one-hour  of CPU time, are constantly within 5%.  This work can be extended in several directions. One of them is to conduct a  thorough simulation study to assess the impact of management policies on the  effectiveness of emergency logistics involving bottleneck renewable and non-renewable  resources. Another one is to design and evaluate meta-heuristics for solving a more  general version of our problem.

description: The ANR Foundation requests that the TRDRP fund a special research project that will enhance the current tobacco control laws database to include laws (and/or the lack thereof) that address marijuana. Similar to the on-going updating of our database as it concerns e-cigarettes and other alternative “smoking devices”, the legalization of marijuana in California has the potential to undermine existing smokefree ordinances, hence the monitoring, tracking and maintaining a database of these laws is critical for tobacco control and protecting public health in California. There is an immediate need to sustain and enhance our tobacco related laws database collection to document trends in regulating the use of marijuana in smokefree environments. This pilot project would focus on laws and rules in California; however, this information is critical for and would have an impact on the national tobacco control movement. California has traditionally been at the forefront of emerging issues in tobacco control and this work would benefit not only the health of Californians, but have a significant impact nationally.

description: The pyruvate dehydrogenase multienzyme complex (PDHc) plays crucial physiological roles in human. Structural study of this complex with traditional methods is highly challenging due to its large size (> 10 M Da). In this thesis, the Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) method was employed to study the protein-protein interactions of the components in both E. coli and human PDHc, which successfully revealed their binding loci, as well as the active center coupling, the substrate coupling, the allosteric regulation, and the catalytic mechanisms. The findings greatly improved the current understanding of the PDHc model, creating opportunities for designing new drugs targeting protein-protein interactions.
Illness representations, treatment beliefs, medication adherence and hospital readmission in elderly individuals with chronic heart failure

Year: 2014

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among illness representations, treatment beliefs, medication nonadherence, and hospital readmission in elderly individuals with chronic heart failure (HF).  Theoretically derived antecedents to hospital readmission included illness identity, illness consequences, illness timeline, illness control, the difference between specific medication necessity and concern beliefs and medication adherence.  The sample was comprised of 96 patients, discharged to home from a medical surgical or cardiac telemetry unit between August 2012 and March 2013.  Data were collected during telephone surveys and from electronic medical record reviews.  Hypotheses were tested using correlational and regression analyses.  Significant correlations indicated that the belief that one has little to no personal control over their HF is significantly related to medication adherence, when medication necessity beliefs were stronger than medication concerns. Subjects were highly adherent to their medications, and individuals who did not believe their treatment was effective in controlling their HF were readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge.  In logistic regression analysis, necessity- concern differential remained a significant predictor of medication adherence while personal control was not a significant predictor. This study contributed to the body of knowledge regarding factors related to 30-day hospital readmission in older individuals with chronic heart failure.  Additional investigation is needed to further explore these relationships using objective measures of medication adherence and additional dimensions of illness representations, such as emotional factors.

Human trafficking

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Numerous factors which promote human trafficking have been examined by many scholars, yet little attention has been placed on the role of adolescent single mothers as a significant factor that increases the vulnerability of these young women to trafficking.    This study aims to understand and explain why two countries with similar characteristics in geography, political and socio-economic systems present a very different picture in their sex trafficking patterns and challenges. This is a case study that compares Argentina and Brazil along a variety of indicators relevant to human trafficking. Although similar with respect to several characteristics analyzed in their incidence of sex trafficking, Argentina and Brazil do differ in one major factor that on its face could account for the differences in their sex trafficking practices --birth rate among adolescent girls aged 15 to 19. This rate is higher in Brazil than that in Argentina.  This study seeks to answer the following questions:    1. - Does this difference account for the difference in sex trafficking practices and if so, how?    2. - Is this difference explained by something else (e.g. other than birth rate)?     3. - What other factors might contribute to the difference in sex trafficking practices?    Two main sources of information were used in this comparative analysis:  (1) data collected from reports, databases from intergovernmental organizations, governmental agencies, NGOs, and academic literature; and (2) court sentences from both countries, to both flesh out the factors identified, and more importantly, to support or refute the assumption with respect to the role of adolescent birth rates.  Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were employed.   This study reveals four main differences between Argentina and Brazil that collectively, indeed, shed light on their sex trafficking differences: 1) methods of recruitment, 2) “modus operandi” and government complicity, 3) gender inequality and 4) the incidence of teen single motherhood as a vulnerability factor to trafficking. Findings in this study suggest that matrifocality, the woman-centered family, is a key component in understanding how and why Brazilian adolescent single mothers are an easy target for traffickers.
Detection of the time-course of thiamin-bound intermediates on enzymatic pathways using steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy

description: Since the discovery of thiamine diphosphate (ThDP, active form of vitamin B1) as active cofactor in 193& by Lohmann and Schuster, its catalytic mechanism has become an interest of many enzymologist. The ThDP-dependent enzymes catalyze a variety of enzymatic reactions including decarboxylation, condensation, ligation etc.     Here is reported a mechanistic study carried out with multiple ThDP enzymes: Escherichia coli 1-deoxy- D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) synthase, E. coli E1 component (E1o) of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDHc), yeast pyruvate decarboxylase (YPDC) and benzaldehyde lyase (BAL) by using state-of-the art instruments: the circular dichroism (CD) method can monitor events on the enzyme itself followed by pre-steady state rate determination by stopped-flow (SF) CD, the NMR method monitors ThDP-bound intermediates after release from the enzyme (fortuitously all the major ones are stable in acid), and is also useful to provide positive identification of the species seen in the CD spectrum. Several of these enzymes have in common initial pyruvate decarboxylation to form aldehyde or carboligation products.  Steady state and pre-steady state analysis with the enzyme DXP synthase, enabled observation of remarkable stabilization of ThDP-bound pre-decarboxylation intermediate C2α-lactylThDP (LThDP) on the enzyme with pyruvate, and subsequent LThDP decarboxylation greatly accelerated  by the second substrate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) by at least 600-fold. Further stabilization of LThDP was observed on DXP synthase variants Y392F, R4&8A and R420A which are shown to be essential for binding of D-GAP, without affecting the LThDP decarboxylation rates in the presence of GAP.   While DXP synthase stabilizes pre-decarboxylation intermediate LThDP, the enzyme E1o from E. coli on decarboxlation of 2-oxoglutarate stabilizes the resulting enamine intermediate followed by hydroxy-carboxypropylidene-ThDP radical formation (with both substrates 2-oxoglutarate and 2-oxoadipate), characterized by CD, SFCD, NMR and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.   The E. coli E1o was also used in the chiral synthesis of α-hydroxy ketones with good yield and high enantiomeric excess, by varying both the 2-oxoacid substrates and exogenous aldehydes.  Next, The conjugated 2-oxoacid substrates acetyl pyruvate, its methyl ester and (E)-4-(4 chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-3-butenoic acid (CPB) with thiamin enzymes YPDC, BAL and E1o led to formation of charge transfer bands on the enzymes which are attributed to transitions between the thiazolium ring of thiamin and a C2-β, γ double bond.

Terrorized into compliance

description: Today’s terrorism threat is global.  For this reason, academics and policy makers underscore the importance of a multilateral counterterrorism response.  Surprisingly little research examines the determinants of multilateral counterterrorism cooperation.  In this study, I employ an original dataset to estimate the determinants of counterterrorism cooperation.  I proxy multilateral cooperation in terms of whether governments comply with the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, an important instrument for stemming the financing of international terrorist activities.  What are the determinants of variation in country compliance with financial counterterrorism? To answer this research question, I employ a mixed methods approach.  First, I use an ordered logit model to examine several hypotheses in the literature to predict compliance rates, including the magnitude and intensity of violence against the target country and its regime type and capability.  I find that across model specifications, United States influence, in terms of bilateral trade, has a highly statistically significant effect on country compliance.  Second, I process trace the causal mechanism by examining primary source documents.  My findings have several policy implications—mainly that trade is an effective counterterrorism tool.

Safe passage during the school commute

Year: 2014

description: This study builds upon the findings of recent research which suggests the trip to and from school may be the riskiest activity in America. The purpose of this study is to examine and quantify the different types of victimization, such as bullying behavior that pupils experience during their travel to and from school. Research on the daily movement and activities within a community reveals that a significant amount of victimization occurs during the hours prior to and immediately following school, when youths travel from a supervised environment to their destination.  To illuminate the problem of victimization during the period immediately following school dismissal and determine the necessity of improving safety during the school commute, it is important to study the journey that students take after they leave home and school property. Utilizing survey data collected from a sample of 244 students across four districts, which include urban, suburban, and rural schools within the United States, the study explores the daily school commute of students and analyzes the relationship between the various modes of travel and the level and types of victimization experienced, fear of victimization, and offenses witnessed by the pupils. The study uses the Routine Activities Approach as a theoretical foundation for examining victimization during times when capable guardianship is minimal to nonexistent. Findings indicate that nearly half of the students in the study reported experiencing at least one incident of victimization during the school year. Relationships were found between modes of travel and victimization experienced, witnessed, and feared during the daily commute to and from school. The research also found that the majority of students felt safer in school than during their daily commute. When asked to describe locations perceived as risky, students in urban districts reported feeling unsafe during their commute through unoccupied streets and alleyways, whereas the students in the suburban and rural districts reported feeling unsafe in occupied settings, such as school buses and parking lots of businesses. This research suggests that working partnerships should be formed among all stakeholders involved in protecting students, which include school administrators, bus drivers, school resource officers, and parents.

Restructuring the international telecommunication union in a decade of development, 1985-1994  national sovereignty vs. the free flow of information
Creators: name: Harris, Joshua
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Although the International Telecommunication Union is the oldest existing international treaty organization in the world, it has attracted relatively little scholarly study or media attention aside from recent debates about its proposed role in Internet governance and “bridging the digital divide.” Utilizing the published “Final Acts” of the Union’s periodic conferences, this study explores the history of the ITU—with a particular focus on the decade between the Maitland Report in 1985 and the Union’s most recent restructuring in 1994—in order to illustrate how the Union has evolved, both structurally and in terms of policy and purview, in response to new communications technologies and changing political, economic and social climates. I argue that ITU regulations have historically been the result of political considerations aimed at maintaining the sovereignty principle, the right of each member-state to regulate information networks within its borders. This principle has consistently proven antithetical to the Union’s stated purpose, and has generated further ambiguities and conflicts in recent debates as delegates have attempted to extend it to regulation of the borderless Internet.

Seeing a person after ostracism depends on psychosocial resources
Creators: name: Gorman, Jamie Lynn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: Psychosocial resources, such as social support and self-worth, are important for attenuating threatening experiences to maintain a more accurate perception of the world, but the experience of ostracism can threaten these resources.  Because psychosocial resources enable less biased perception, the experience of ostracism should disrupt perception, especially among those with few dispositional psychosocial assets.  On the other hand, people with adequate psychosocial resources should be more capable of maintaining accurate perception even after resources have been threatened by ostracism.    Four studies were conducted to determine if the experience of ostracism disrupts perception of human movement and if psychosocial resources can enable more accurate monitoring after experiencing social threat.  These studies tested the assertions of the Resources and Perception Model that heightened arousal elicited by the perception of challenging or threatening features distorts perception, but psychosocial resources attenuate arousal and enable more accurate judgments.  Study 1 demonstrated that ostracism disrupts perception of human movement, but perception is maintained among those with greater social support and self-worth.  Study 2 demonstrated that boosting self-worth before ostracism could enhance accuracy for detecting human movement, but only when dispositional resources were adequate.  Study 3 measured physiological stress and arousal during ostracism and during the detection of human movement.  Results indicated that ostracism was more stressful to those high in hostility, a trait that was negatively related to resources, and that detecting human movement elicited greater arousal among those with fewer resources and those who had been ostracized.  Study 4 demonstrated that abilities to identify threatening human movement are supported by psychosocial resources.  Taken together, these studies demonstrate that psychosocial resources moderate threatening social experiences and enable greater abilities to see and interpret human actions.

description: The African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council (AATCLC), as part of the African American Statewide Coordinating Center, and the American Nonsmokers' Rights (ANR) Foundation request funding to support a workshop entitled: What Millennials (and those who love them) Need to Know About Blunts! The intersection of cannabis, little cigars, social injustice and the Black community. The workshop, which will disseminate research findings on marijuana secondhand smoke and its use, within the context of traditional tobacco control, will take place from 9:30-12:30pm on Monday, December 3, at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina in Berkeley, California. The Triangulum of tobacco, marijuana, and electronic smoking devices has interrupted public health accomplishments to reduce adult and youth use of cigarettes, little cigars, and other tobacco products. Youth use of electronic smoking devices and a myriad of marijuana products is rapidly rising and has deleterious effects on community health. This workshop will address one of the health equity policy issues the ANR Foundation and AATCLC is tackling the legalization of marijuana and its impact on youth/young adults and tobacco control. The workshop is an opportunity to disseminate research findings concerning the health risks of marijuana use and secondhand marijuana smoke exposure, the policy challenge of preventing rollbacks on smokefree protections amidst growing exemptions for marijuana, and the rise of the new Big Tobacco.

description: Clinical placement sites for nursing students have become limited around the country. An alternative teaching strategy must be employed to allow for students to gain valuable knowledge and skills. High fidelity human patient simulation is one such strategy that allows students to safely practice nursing interventions in a controlled environment using a scenario. Students participate in groups and may be video recorded for replay during the debriefing session, the most essential learning element of the simulation session. Students watching a video recording of their participation in the scenario allow them to reflect on their own actions to identify their own strengths and weaknesses. The research question for this study was the following: what are the effects of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral debriefing on student outcomes (clinical judgment, self-confidence, learner satisfaction scores with simulation and learner satisfaction scores with the simulation facilitator) of associate degree nursing students in their second year of nursing school? A randomized control design was employed to test the research question using a sample of &4 students. Students were randomized into either a video assisted debriefing group and an oral assisted debriefing group. The debriefing sessions were structured for each group with the only difference being the video assisted debriefing group watched the recording of their videotaped simulation session. Results included higher self-reported clinical judgment, learner satisfaction scores with the simulation, and learner satisfaction with the debriefing facilitator. Findings from this study support the use of video assisted debriefing as compared to traditional oral assisted debriefing after a simulation session. Debriefing should be a highly structured part of simulation allowing for students to learn and develop important cognitive and behavioral skills. Video debriefing is an important component of simulation that allows for improved student outcomes.

description: Elders use more hospital care, healthcare dollars, and are at the greatest risk for negative outcomes than any other age group. Researchers suggest that hospitalized elders are not always satisfied with nursing care and their health outcomes are poor. Nurses Improving Care for Health System Elders (NICHE) is an innovative care model that provides hospital nurses with best practices to improve elders’ healthcare. Two sub-models under NICHE were tested in a hospital that subscribed to the NICHE model of care: the Geriatric Resource Nurse (GRN) whereby nurses’ are knowledgeable to provide quality bedside nursing care to hospitalized elders; and the Acute Care Elder (ACE) unit, an environmental adaptation for elders that includes an interdisciplinary team focused on preventing geriatric syndromes. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationships of hospitalized elders’ perceptions of nurse caring behaviors, the type of care unit (ACE or Telemetry), satisfaction with nursing care, and the health outcome of functional status. Also tested was, if the type of care unit (ACE or Telemetry) moderated     ii    the effect of elders’ perceptions of nurse caring behaviors on satisfaction with nursing  care; and if the type of care unit (ACE or Telemetry) moderated the effect of elders’ perceptions of nurse caring behaviors on the health outcome of functional status. A non-experimental predictive correlational design was used to test the hypotheses. Elders’ perceptions of nurse caring behavior were associated with and predicted their satisfaction with nursing care, r(1&8) = .555, p = .000, and overall, elders felt cared for and satisfied with the nursing care delivered. Older elders experienced significantly more functional decline, and those married or partnered experienced significantly less functional decline. There was significantly less functional decline (14.4%) than had been reported in earlier research (33%) in the total subject population. No association was found between nurse caring behaviors and the health outcome of functional status or satisfaction with nursing care between units. A two-hour orientation given to all new nurses on the topic of geriatric syndromes hospitalized may have confounded the lack of difference in units, but might have contributed to the overall perceptions of nurse caring, satisfaction and positive health outcomes.
Countercultural communes

Year: 2014

description: This thesis utilizes a gendered analytical lens and a feminist framework in order to explore if the sixties countercultural communards of Colorado’s Drop City, Tennessee’s The Farm, and Virginia’s Twin Oaks achieved liberation from the mainstream gender roles that characterized post-World War II America. This study complicates the common assumption that communes represented spaces of liberation for individuals who wished to escape an oppressive and inequitable post-war society. Overall, this thesis found that men at Drop City, The Farm, and Twin Oaks were not only freed from their contemporary gender roles, but they were also able to remake meanings of masculinity within the communal context. This thesis also demonstrates that new meanings of masculinity tended to perpetuate traditional assumptions about male dominance and female domesticity. Additionally, this thesis discovered that incorporation of structure in communes, a facet of mainstream America that communards sought to escape, ironically furthered gender liberation and contributed to feminist growth in Twin Oaks in the 19&0s and 1980s.

Assessing the impact of GASB statement no. 34 across the municipal bond market
Creators: name: Bloch, Rebecca
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2014

description: The new disclosure requirements brought about by Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 34 have provided new information for users of government financial reports.  The first essay of this dissertation reports the results of a survey of users of government financial reporting, specifically members of the National Federation of Municipal Analysts, asking whether the new information provided by Statement 34 is valuable in their analyses, whether it has improved financial reporting by governments, and for suggestions for improving the information provided.          One of the new components of the Statement 34 reporting model is the requirement that municipalities include an MD&A as required supplementary information in their audited financial statements.  In the previous essay of this dissertation, a high-level survey asking municipal bond analysts about how they use the Statement 34 information in their analyses, analysts indicated that they find the MD&A more valuable then any other Statement 34 reporting requirement.    The second essay explores the determinants of the cross-sectional variation in MD&A disclosure and reports that the size of the municipality is the most important variable in determining the level of municipal MD&A disclosure.         The third essay explores the impact of disclosure on contracting.  It first reports on the association of MD&A disclosure with default, finding that disclosure is significantly and inversely associated with credit rating, even when accounting for other financial and socio-economic variables.  This provides evidence that Statement 34 disclosure quality is incorporated by ratings analysts into their assessment of credit risk. It then further explores the relationship between this disclosure across another segment of the market by evaluating whether disclosure is associated with true interest costs.  Results indicate that disclosure may be valued by smaller municipalities and may have been used by investors in the year when one of the largest bond insurers went bankrupt, signifying the virtual end of the market for municipal bond insurance. However, disclosure does not appear to be utilized by investors across the municipal bond market, as results were not significant when looking at the sample as a whole.         The fourth essay discusses overall conclusions and avenues for future research.
