Troticene lithiation and platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation using dimethylsilyl- troticene and ferrocene derivatives
Creators: name: Terrado, Rhyan Joseph
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The lithiation of troticene was studied. Monolithiation of troticene at 0 °C preferentially occurred at the cycloheptatrienyl (Cht) ligand,1,2 while monolithiation at room temperature preferentially occurred at the cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligand. Dimethylsilyl-, trimethylstannyl-, diphenylphosphino-, and trimethylsilyl-derivatives were prepared in this manner. The monolithio-cycloheptatrienyl-troticene was found to be less stable at higher temperatures than the monolithio-cyclopentadienyl-troticene. Dilithiation of troticene was readily achieved using 2.5 equiv. n-butyllithium/TMEDA,3 and using an even greater excess of lithiating agent led to greater degrees of lithiation of up to 4 lithiums. Disubstituted Cp ligands are predominantly 1,3-disubstituted, while disubstituted Cht ligands are predominantly 1,4-disubstituted. Substituted troticene derivatives were also lithiated. Just like the 1-pot polylithiation, disubstituted Cp ligands are predominantly 1,3-disubstituted. However, disubstituted Cht ligands are either 1,4- or 1,3-disubstituted.Dimethylsilyl-troticene derivatives were used in the preparation of troticene- based polymers/oligomers containing silylenevinylenephenylene-/thienylene-bridged metallocene units along with the appropriate model compounds. The regiochemical distributions obtained were consistent with those obtained by Jain and coworkers using dimethylsilyl ferrocene derivatives, with low molecular weights and no metal-metal interaction between the metallocene units.4,5Hydrosilylation reactions of bis(dimethylsilyl)- ferrocene or troticene gave lower β(E)- to α- olefinic proton ratios compared to dimethylsilyl- ferrocene or troticene, the latter two giving regiochemical distributions consistent with those of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene or dimethylsilylbenzene. These results were consistent regardless of whether phenylacetylene, ethynyltoluene, or ethynylthiophene was used as the alkyne. A comparison between the hydrosilylation mono-β(E)- and mono-α- adducts of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene and 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene with phenylacetylene was done. The hydrosilylation reactions of the mono-β(E)- adducts of both compounds as well as the mono-α- adduct of 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene were all consistent with each other, preferring a β(E)- configuration in the hydrosilylation of the second dimethylsilyl-moiety. In contrast, the mono-α- adduct of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene preferred an α- configuration in the hydrosilylation of the second dimethylsilyl-moiety. In addition, the mono-α- adduct of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene was more readily converted into the bis-adducts than the mono-β(E)- adduct. These factors led to an increased amount of α-olefinic protons in hydrosilylation reactions of 1,1’-bis(dimethylsilyl)ferrocene.

description: Pseudoszidatitrema sinica (Zhang, Yang & Li, 1987) n. comb. — Type and only species
Type host. Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos Linnaeus (Anseriformes: Anatidae).
Type locality. Chengdu City, Peng County, District of Chengdu, People’s Republic of China.
Remarks. This species was originally described as Szidatitrema sinica Zhang, Yang & Li, 1987. This species has a posttesticular ovary that forms a triangle with the testes (Szidatitreminae), a prepharyngeal genital pore and the vitelline fields are confluent posteriorly, placing it in Pseudoszidatitrema n. gen. Certainly in a series of specimens representing a species, one can expect to find some anomalies (normal or introduced in fixation) in characteristics such as the placement of the genital pore and/or the extent of the vitelline fields posteriorly (confluent or not), and sometimes the genital pore may not be clearly visible and the posterior extent of the vitelline fields may be obscured by the uterus and/or posterior arch of the cyclocoel (see discussion below of the variability of these characteristics). However, we feel that these characteristics are reasonably reliable at the generic level within the cyclocoelids. Oral and ventral sucker absent—Zhang et al. (1987).

Three essays on stock recommendations
Creators: name: Yezegel, Ari
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation studies stock recommendations made by columnists and financial analysts. The first essay examines the value and profitability of columnist recommendations published in the Business Week, Forbes and Fortune magazines. Empirical results show that columnist recommendations are not profitable in the short- or long-run controlling for market risk, book-to-market, size and momentum effects. The second essay examines the relation between the value of analysts’ recommendations and corporate research and development (R&D) investments. Univariate, calendar-time portfolio and cross-sectional analyses controlling for risk, business complexity, earnings value-relevance, analyst coverage, institutional ownership and bid-ask spread indicate the value of analysts’ recommendations to be significantly more valuable for firms that are more intensely engaged in R&D investments. The final essay, using stock recommendations, examines Regulation FD’s impact on corporate practice of earnings-related selective disclosure to financial analysts. The comparative analysis of the association between analysts’ revisions and subsequent earnings surprises, in the pre- and post- Regulation FD periods reveals a significant reduction in analysts’ earnings-related private information in the post-Regulation FD period.
Technogeopolitics of militarization and security in cyberspace
Creators: name: Yannakogeorgos, Panayotis
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Based on democratic principles that encourage creation and transmission of information and knowledge using information and communication technologies, the Information Society has become the organizing paradigm for a digital age. Humans residing in  digital rich regions of the world rely on cyberspace, the Information Society’s enabling environment, for their business, commerce, education, socialization. Governments and industry are migrating their critical processes into this domain. These trends will intensify as more people realize cyberspace’s utility. However, the promises of the Information Society may never transpire since there is a lack of trust and security in cyberspace.  These two concepts are the foundation on which the utility of inter-networked ICTs, such as the Internet, are built. The increasing rate in the occurrence and sophistication of cybercrimes erodes users’ trust in subscribing to networked services Further the militarization of cyberspace by states as a new domain through which they conduct their operations also presents challenges to the Information Society. Both crime and conflict in cyberspace erode trust in digital networks. The development of a comprehensive international law for cyberspace is essential to govern state and non-state actor behavior in this global commonage.  The formation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in the early twenty-first century marks the first time that state and non-state actors convened to develop plans of action to guide the development of in the digital world. This project examines the negotiating positions of the United States, Russia and China in the area of cybersecurity through the lens of technogeopolitics. It is shown how the political and military interests of each affect their negotiating positions in the WSIS. The methods of content analyses on material from diplomatic archives, participant-observation at international conferences and interview surveys of participants at these conferences are used to investigate the reasons why decision are made or not made in the field of international cybersecurity cooperation.
A structural analysis of neighborhood and school effects on immigrant children's academic performance
Creators: name: Zha, Peijia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Immigrant children are influenced by a variety of contexts, including their family, peer groups, neighborhood, and institutions such as school and the workplace. To gauge how immigrant children fare in education, it is extremely important to understand whether, and how, these contexts affect their academic performance. This dissertation’s theoretical framework is heavily grounded in theories dealing with the impact of neighborhood and school on children’s academic performance. Analyzing nationally representative data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), this study investigates whether, and how, two of these contexts--neighborhood and school characteristics--influence non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and Asian immigrant students’ academic performance. Comparison analysis, hierarchical linear modeling, and fixed-effect modeling are used to test six hypotheses. The comparison analysis found that, generally speaking, neighborhood and school conditions are better for non-immigrant than for immigrant students. Specifically, neighborhood and school conditions are better for Asian immigrants than for Hispanic immigrants, and significantly better for immigrant non-Hispanic Whites than for immigrant non-Hispanic Blacks. Multilevel regression analysis found that both neighborhood and school characteristics affect immigrant students’ GPA, while neighborhood-school involvement characteristics do not (neither do they affect non-immigrant students’ GPA). Neighborhood SES and neighborhood immigrant composition affect immigrant students’ GPA. Furthermore, the results show that school socioeconomic status (SES), school climate, and school location affect immigrant students’ GPA. Large class size and school type are associated with non-immigrant students’ GPA. The results of the study imply that both neighborhood and school characteristics influence academic performance of immigrant students more than that of non-immigrant students. Compared to the neighborhood, the school, as an institutional resource, plays a crucial role in immigrant students’ academic performance and their assimilation processes.

title: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB ROTATION AND WORK ENGAGEMENT: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION
Creators: name: Al-Yafei, Ali
Publisher: name: University of Central Lancashire
Year: 2025

description: Job rotation has become an effective tool in providing employees with more skills, knowledge and experience in a number of jobs within companies, in addition to its role in improving employee performance. This study investigated the relationship between job rotation and job satisfaction, and work engagement. Furthermore, the study explored the relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement. Finally, the study examined the mediating role of job satisfaction in the link between job rotation and work engagement. This study was conducted on three oil and gas companies out of six companies operating in Qatar.

A quantitative approach questionnaire was deployed to collect information from nearly 300 senior staff in oil and gas companies in Qatar. The data was analysed using Structure Equation Modelling (SEM). So, the current study’s population comprises employees who graduated from university and work as supervisors in Qatari oil and gas companies. Such staff are designated as “senior staff” by the researcher in the current study.

The study's findings indicated that job rotation has a significant and positive link with both job satisfaction and work engagement. Furthermore, job satisfaction has a significant and positive link with work engagement. Finally, the findings revealed that job satisfaction acts as a full mediator in the link between job rotation and work engagement.
In practice, this study will assist Qatari oil and gas companies in increasing their performance by implementing effective job rotation programmes to boost job satisfaction and work engagement, which leads to improved employee performance. As a result, implementing effective job rotation programmes with the aim of increasing job satisfaction and work engagement will encourage oil and gas company managers to expand the use of job rotation in various jobs, to provide employees in all departments with a wide range of abilities and experiences, which will improve performance.

description: A design and a fabrication method for an intravascular imaging and therapeutic catheters for combined ultrasound, photoacoustic, and elasticity imaging and for optical and/or acoustic therapy of hollow organs and diseased blood vessels and tissues are disclosed in the present invention. The invention comprises both a device—optical fiber-based intravascular catheter designs for combined IVUS/IVPA, and elasticity imaging and for acoustic and/or optical therapy—and a method of combined ultrasound, photoacoustic, and elasticity imaging and optical and/or acoustic therapy. The designs of the catheters are based on single-element catheter-based ultrasound transducers or on ultrasound array-based units coupled with optical fiber, fiber bundles or a combination thereof with specially designed light delivery systems. One approach uses the side fire fiber, similar to the one utilized for biomedical optical spectroscopy. The second catheter design uses the micro-optics in the manner of a probe for optical coherent tomography.

Global trade, 9/11 attacks, and customs organizations in comparative perspectives
Creators: name: Chang, Chieh
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: In this age of globalization where the world is becoming increasingly volatile and violent, safeguarding global trade has become a contentious concern, especially after the 9/11 attacks. The customs organization, as an international stakeholder and a gatekeeper of a nation, has been called upon to simultaneously promote and protect international commerce against terrorism and traditional transnational crimes. This author makes the argument that the idea to pursue a balance between trade facilitation and security is correct; however, it is within the formation and execution of policies and programs tailored to achieve such a strategy where challenges can emerge.  This dissertation is divided into three parts. Part I states the underlying problem, provides a background of the issue with literature reviews, and gives an overview of the policy machinery process. Part II depicts key case studies that were specifically chosen to illuminate this controversial issue from national, regional, and global perspectives. Each case study attempts to advance the understanding of how key customs organizations address the “balance” issue followed by a comparative review. Part III discusses existing, updated, and new policy options, followed by recommendations and conclusions. An elite survey was also conducted to expose additional diverging views and converging suggestions. Although progress has been made on this “balance” issue, more needs to be done. No single or easy solution will resolve this conundrum. To optimally address this dilemma, two guiding principles must be considered: cooperation and the multi-layered approach must be standardized and systematically adopted. In addition to embracing these two “force multiplier effect” principles, compromises in policy-making and decision-making processes must also be encouraged. In the final analysis, this dissertation attempts to bring awareness, to foster discussions, and to promote effective resolutions to the trade-balancing predicament.
An investigation of clinical trial supply chains
Creators: name: Fleischhacker, Adam
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: This dissertation investigates production and inventory decisions made within clinical trial supply chains in order to reduce drug supply costs. By investigating the SEC filings of public companies, we find that drug supply costs frequently account for a significant portion of pharmaceutical companies' R&D spending. To unlock value tied up in clinical trial supply chains, three unique aspects of clinical trial supply chains are explored and associated supply chain decisions are optimized. The first unique factor that differentiates the supply chains for clinical trials is the risk of failure, meaning that the investigational drug is proven unsafe or ineffective during human testing. Upon failure, any unused inventory is essentially wasted and needs to be destroyed. We explore the effect of this failure on production planning decisions and find the planner's decision to be a balancing act between waste and destruction costs versus production inefficiency. To optimally achieve this balance, we generalize the Wagner-Whitin model to incorporate the risk of failure. A second unique aspect of clinical trials is that demand can go from being quite unpredictable to fully predictable during the course of a trial.  To take advantage of this demand learning, intra-trial batches can be produced, but at the expense of scale economies.  Using various learning curves, we study this balance between learning and economies of scale in a finite horizon inventory model with fixed production costs and two production options: the pre-trial batch and the intra-trial batch. We characterize the optimal policy for both production batches in regards to optimally scheduling and sizing production. Lastly,  we analyze the distribution networks of global clinical trial supply chains.  Unique to these networks is their temporary existence; trials are ceased after patient enrollment goals are met.  To manage these networks, we present a new class of multi-echelon inventory models to make stock positioning decisions, develop algorithms to identify lower and upper bounds on the optimal objective function for this new class, and leverage those algorithms to provide insights into optimal supply chain configurations.
Endoscopic codes for unitary groups over the reals
Creators: name: Rubanovich, Dmitry
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Transfer factors, originally defined by Langlands and Shelstad for the transfer of orbital integrals, play a central role in the theory of endoscopy. Spectral transfer factors, for the dual transfer of traces, have been defined for real groups by Shelstad. The theory shows that for discrete series representations of unitary groups the spectral transfer factors determine a bijection between the representations in a packet and certain binary words. The binary word thus associated to a representation may be called its endoscopic code. Such a code is difficult to calculate from the definition by transfer factors. Low dimensional examples suggest that there is an alternative approach, directly in terms of the Harish-Chandra data of the representation, which provides fast calculation of spectral transfer factors.This thesis presents a new direct construction of the endoscopic code of a discrete series representation of any unitary group directly from its Harish-Chandra data and, conversely, identifies a discrete series representation from any particular given endoscopic code. An explicit algorithm is given and implemented in Mathematica(TM).

Neuromodulation of inhibitory feedback to pacemaker neurons and its consequent role in stabilizing the output of the neuronal network
Creators: name: Zhao, Shunbing
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Stable oscillations can be important for the proper function of neuronal networks. Rhythmic movements, for example, often rely on stable input from central pattern generator (CPG) networks that generate the underlying oscillations. I used the crustacean pyloric motor network as a model oscillatory neural system. The primary goal is to characterize the effects of the neuropeptide proctolin on the LP to PD synapse and consequently to investigate functional role in shaping the network output. First, I characterized the effects of proctolin on both the spike-mediated and graded components of the LP to PD synapse. The results showed that both components of the LP to PD synapse were enhanced by bath-applied proctolin. The results also showed that proctolin caused facilitation of the LP to PD synapse with injection of low amplitude depolarization steps. This facilitation is associated with a slow inward Ca 2+ like current.Second, I investigated the function of the LP to PD synapse in the pyloric network. The results showed that the LP to PD synapse reduced the variability in the pyloric period. Also, analysis of the phase response curve (PRC) showed that the LP to PD synapse reduced the effect of perturbations. We used synaptic-PRC and its relationship with synaptic phase and synaptic duty cycle to explain how the LP to PD synapse counteracts the effect of perturbation.Third, I examined the role of proctolin in shaping the neural network output. It was found that in the presence of proctolin the variability of pyloric period was reduced. Furthermore, using PRC analysis, I demonstrated that proctolin reduced the effect of extrinsic perturbations on the pacemaker neurons in the presence of LP to PD synapse. The results suggest that proctolin, through its enhancement on the LP to PD synapse, plays an active role in stabilizing the pyloric network oscillation.Our findings suggest that modulations of the inhibitory feedback synapse can be a useful approach to regulate the stability of neuronal networks. Insights gained from this thesis could be applied to mammalian nervous system such as feedback or recurrent inhibitory circuits in cortex or oscillator-driven respiratory CPGs.

An exploratory study of self-care and wellness in early career female psychologists
Creators: name: Martin, Amanda H.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Professional distress and impairment have been identified as significant problems in the field of psychology. Recent research studies have shifted from assessing the prevalence rates of distress and impairment in psychologists to investigating self-care as a preventive measure. The present study explores the ways in which early career female psychologists practice self-care and maintain wellness.  Ten female psychologists who received their doctorates in psychology within the last seven years took part in in-depth, semi-structured interviews that examine the role of self-care in their personal and professional lives. For the purposes of this study, self-care was defined according to Faunce's (1990) conceptualization of self-care for feminist therapists.  Interviews were transcribed from audiotapes and brief narrative cases were highlighted in order to present a representative picture of the unique professional choices of each participant. Qualitative analysis of the data revealed a number of themes characterized as follows: 1) challenges associated with the early career phase, 2) emotional self-care, 3) physical self-care, 4) self-care through "play," 5) cognitive self-care, 6) spiritual self-care, and 7) recommendations to other early career psychologists. Major points of discussion include 1) connections to others, 2) boundaries between professional and personal lives, 3) coping with guilt, 4) female mentoring, and 5) pursuing activities outside of psychology.  All of these factors relate to the well-being of female psychologists in the beginning stages of the profession. Limitations of the study, implications for the field of psychology, and implications for future research are also addressed. The results of the study can be used to inform training programs and professional organizations seeking to promote self-care and wellness in early career female psychologists.
Black male graduates of urban high schools in New Jersey

description: A qualitative exploratory study was completed to examine factors and processes associated with high school graduation among Black males in high risk urban contexts.  Participants included 11 Black males between the ages of 19 and 35, who have graduated from high schools in some of New Jersey’s poorest and dejected urban districts. These Black men were interviewed to determine what protective factors and processes contributed to their school persistence. Additionally, the study sought to examine commonalities among these men that led to high school graduation. Analysis of these interviews was completed using the grounded theory approach (Strauss & Corbin, 1997) and case study method (Yin, 2009). Results indicate that there are a number of important factors and processes that contributed to the participants’ ability to complete high school in environments where up to 65% of Black males fail to graduate. Broad themes associated with school persistence among these men included individual, family, peer, community and teacher factors. More specifically, the results revealed that the role of mothers in the lives of these young men was substantial. In fact, the majority of participants credit their mothers for their success. This is counter to much of the research that discredits single parent mothers. As well, these young men did not come from highly educated families, but there was a tremendous emphasis on education within their homes. Consistent with other work in this area, participants indicated that access to, and utilization of, community resources was vital to their success. The importance of the school environment, as well as the importance of support and availability of school staff and teachers was emphasized repeatedly. Other specific themes and commonalities are presented. Implications of these findings are discussed and recommendations are made to young Black men, parents, teachers and other school professionals.
Effects of a school-based adult mentoring intervention on low, urban high school freshmen judged to be at risk for drop-out

description: Numerous longitudinal studies have followed large cohorts of children from disadvantaged backgrounds and found retrospectively that one difference between children who succeed and those who do not is the presence of a supportive, non-parental adult in their lives.  Accordingly, burgeoning research is investigating if positive outcomes can be generated by intentionally placing a non-parental adult in a child’s life through a mentoring program.  One objective of these mentoring programs is maintaining students’ engagement in school.  This study was designed as a replication and extension of a one-year efficacy study by Holt et al. (2008), which evaluated a manualized, school-based, adult mentoring intervention for youths deemed to be at risk for school drop out. The current study lasted 18 months and included a new cohort of 38 similar low-income ninth graders from Holt et al.’s mid-Atlantic, urban high school. The students were randomly assigned to the mentoring group (n=19) or a control group (n=19). The mentors were trained, volunteer teachers, who received ongoing weekly consultation from the program developer.  The students completed surveys at 3 different intervals, and 4 semesters of grades and discipline referrals were obtained from school records.  As expected from Holt et al., in comparison to the control group, the youth who were assigned mentors reported significantly more positive perceptions of teacher support and received fewer discipline referrals.  By the end of this study’s extended follow-up period, mentored students also reported significantly greater sense of classmate acceptance and had higher grades in mathematics and language arts than the control group.  These findings suggest that providing an adult mentoring program for at least 18 months can increase academic success and potentially retain students in school by affecting factors that lead to drop out.
