description: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between teachers’ evaluation ratings and their students’ attainment of projected growth scores in reading. The independent variables were the Charlotte Danielson Framework for Teaching (FFT) component ratings assigned to teachers of third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students in a western Maryland school district during the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 school years. The dependent variable was the percentage of each evaluated teachers’ students attaining projected growth scores in reading, measured by the MAP reading assessment. A multiple correlation analysis determined teachers’ performance ratings on all 22 FFT component ratings, explaining 11.5% (R2 = .115) of the variance in the percentage of teachers’ students attaining projected growth scores. The adjusted R2 was .5% (adj. R2 = .005) and was not statistically significant (p > .05). The unstandardized coefficient for one component, 3d: Using Assessment in Instruction, was 8.139 and was statistically significant (p < .05), meaning teachers rated Distinguished had an 8.139% higher mean percentage of their students attaining projected growth scores in reading than teachers rated Basic or Proficient. Teachers’ ratings on 10 other FFT components had positive correlations to students’ attainment of growth projections in reading; however, the correlations were not statistically significant (p > .05).

title: Role of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) in New World Alphavirus Multiplication

description: New World alphaviruses belonging to the family Togaviridae are known to infect humans and equines and cause encephalitic disease. The New World alphaviruses are classified as emerging infectious agents and Category B select agents. There are concentrated efforts dedicated to the development of medical countermeasures to New World alphavirus infections including therapeutics and vaccines. Our current study is focused on the role of the host extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the infectious process of New World alphaviruses. We demonstrate that infection of human astrocytoma cells by Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) results in the activation of many signaling molecules of the ERK-signaling cascade. Inhibition of ERK1/2 by the small molecule inhibitor Ag-126 results in inhibition of viral multiplication. Time of addition studies reveal that Ag-126-mediated inhibition of VEEV occurs during early and later stages of the infectious process, likely affecting early, post-entry events and late, exit events. While our studies revealed that expression of viral structural proteins was modestly downregulated in Ag-126 treated cells, we did not observe any influence of Ag-126 on the nuclear and cytoplasmic distribution of the viral capsid protein. Studies focused on the survival of host cells in the presence of Ag-126 indicated an increased percentage of cells that survived the infection in the presence of Ag-126. Finally, extending our studies to virulent strains of VEEV, Eastern and Western equine encephalitis viruses (EEEV and WEEV) revealed that Ag-126 exerted a broad-spectrum inhibitory effect on New World alphavirus multiplication, thus indicating that the host kinase, ERK, is a broad-spectrum candidate for development of novel therapeutics against New World alphaviruses.

title: Embodied Peacemaking
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2021

description: The dissertation explores the meaning, explanation, and implications of embodied peacemaking, its exercises and techniques, and even as a way of life, related to practice within the field of peace and conflict resolution. How can these techniques and nonverbal methods become a vital component of understanding embodiment for a peacemaker, and of finding solutions to resolve conflicts? What are they? Can they potentiate a non-verbal dialogue between those in conflict. How do they work with bodily senses, kinesthetic knowledge, and embodied intelligence to resolve intrapersonal and interpersonal conflicts? To find out, I survey and categorize embodiment techniques and practices. I include science-based validations for these experiential-based techniques, examples from my own embodied research of the training, nine interviews with professionals who work in peace and conflict resolution, a review of therapeutic-supporting literature, critical analysis, and holistic conceptual thinking. What more can we know about embodiment? I explore the findings, limitations, and implications related to embodied peacemaking among individuals and its applications within the field of peace and conflict resolution. The research will present a theoretical construct for embodied peacemaking with underlying validity, both scientifically and experientially. I will advocate for it as a necessity for the pedagogical embracement to prepare future peacemakers and as a need for more societal adoption to lessen our conflicts and increase peace. I will show how our social advancement depends upon having an ability to become more aware of our embodiment, and move as a culture to have the ability to regulate and embody the presence of peace in ourselves and among eachother. Peace and conflict resolution professionals, as the builders and makers of the solution to our problems, can embrace the embodied components of dialogue, first by becoming aware of it ourselves, in ourselves, then by teaching other peacemakers, and finally, by going into places of conflict and sharing this way to embody peace. When we get this right, and find this within ourselves, the world will change.

description: This thesis explores the manner in which the shrinking landscape of an early Imperial Rome led to an increased utilization of vegetal motifs in Roman art. Beginning in the late first century BCE, Augustus attempted to emphasize the natural world within the city by introducing actual green space through gardens, groves, and parks while also associating himself with various forms of arboreal mythology. Augustus compensated for the transient nature of these public gardens and groves by providing permanent monuments upon which the imagery of a verdant, prosperous earth could flourish, instilling within the viewer a sense of wonder and appreciation for the abundance brought forth by the emperor and the beginning of a new Golden Age in Rome.

description: This dissertation discusses virtual environments, their dramatic increase in use in recent decades, and the implications for economic and legal activity. Chapter 1 discusses how virtual environments are places of increasing amounts of human activity in type, number, and complexity. Entire new economies are being created, communities are forming, new social norms within and across virtual environments are emerging. Property laws are evolving, real-world governments are interacting with virtual worlds through taxation and legal enforcement. Recently Robux outperformed the Ruble, and at one point an Everquest server equaled the GDP of Bulgaria. An increasing number of people are earning their living online, interacting with digital services and items. This paper explores the implications for economists of this new area of human activity. Chapter 2 explores the economic theory of virtual property rights, using Hernando de Soto’s theory of “Dead Capital,” discussing the ways in which people benefit from having intentional and legal title of their virtual property. (U) When people own either their real or virtual property, they can sell it, borrow against it, use it to make a living, and pass it to their heirs. This chapter also discusses the evolution of virtual property - from gaming console cartridges in the 1970s, to leased property in the 2000s, to Web 3.0 and individual ownership of virtual goods - and the economic incentives that caused movement in that direction. Chapter 3 discusses potential demand for real-world governmental oversight of virtual spaces and transactions. Unsavory and criminal activity have always occurred online in virtual spaces. Those spaces have never been as popular, nor as high-stakes as they are today, due to the new technology of virtual ownership and the increased amounts of money being spent in these environments. Because of this popularity and increased stake, demand for what users see as predictable, universal, and fair rules of governance surrounding their property will likely increase. The paper explores the sources of some of the likely demand, and some potential difficulties in implementation.

description: Scholarly work on the dynamics of autocratic leadership and its impact on international cooperation has increasingly challenged conventional assumptions about democratization and governance. This research contributes to the literature by examining the role of political leadership within autocratic regimes from 2006 to 2024, assessing how varying degrees of democratization influence international cooperation. Building on Geddes' typology of autocracies, personalist, military, and single-party, this study introduces Wiatr’s hybrid regimes to highlight the evolving nature of authoritarian governance. This research argues that regimes with greater democratization traits, such as accountability and policy flexibility, are more adept at engaging in international cooperation. Using data from the Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI), this research quantitatively analyzes the relationship between democracy status and international cooperation across 1,297 observations.

description: Biometals in the brain, such as zinc, copper, and iron, are often discussed in cases of neurological disorders; however, these metals also have important regulatory functions and mediate cell signaling and plasticity. With the use of synchrotron X-ray fluorescence, our lab localized total, both bound and free, levels of zinc, copper, and iron in a cross section of one hemisphere of a rat brain, which also showed differing metal distributions in different regions within the hippocampus, the site in the brain known to be crucial for certain types of memory. This review discusses the several roles of these metals in brain regions with an emphasis on hippocampal cell signaling, based on spatial mapping obtained from X-ray fluorescence microscopy. We also discuss the localization of these metals and emphasize different cell types and receptors in regions with metal accumulation, as well as the potential relationship between this physiology and behavior.

description: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a Computational Fluid Dynamics method that has significantly increased in capability in recent years. The advent of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) has helped to enable large-scale SPH simulation outside of supercomputer environments. However variable resolution methods for free-surface and multiphase SPH simulations remains limited. The lack of robust and efficient variable resolution methods for free-surface and multiphase simulations limits the potential computational efficiency and accuracy of SPH when used to model these flows. Recent work has made steps towards solving these issues and has improved the capability of SPH in these areas. This thesis seeks to add to these growing capabilities by presenting new computational geometry algorithms to improve the accuracy and efficiency of SPH simulations. These methods include a boundary condition for flexible walls, a spatial filter to reduce particle disorder, and a modified Voronoi tessellation method for determining particle volumes. These methods provide a basis for future work to increase the computational efficiency of SPH and will facilitate further improvements to the accuracy and scalability of SPH simulations involving free-surface and multiphase flows.

description: This paper examines the effect of tax incentives, gasoline prices and other socio-economic factors on the demand for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) in different U.S. states. As hybrid sales increase, it is important for policymakers to understand how these factors influence demand in order to judge the effectiveness of competing HEV incentive policies. The paper develops a demand model for per-state market-share, and uses cross-sectional time-series data on new Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) registrations in different U.S. states in 2003 and 2004 to evaluate the significance of difference factors. In 2003, a number of predictors were significant, suggesting different policy alternatives for promoting adoption. In 2004, when demand for the Toyota Prius exceeded supply, HEV registrations were explained almost entirely by dealer location.

Subjects: subject: Nigeria
subject: Local peace initiatives
subject: Land tenure
subject: Mediation
subject: Dialogue
subject: Early warning

description: This report examines the progress of peace agencies or commissions in three Nigerian states since 2016. It finds that their convening powers and civil society networks offer important opportunities for fostering peace, as does their ability to support the peace architecture of local governments. Over the past five years, three states in Nigeria’s Middle Belt— Plateau, Kaduna, and Adamawa— have created peace agencies or commissions that are tasked with addressing long-standing ethno-religious and other divisions in their host states through direct mediation and other peace interventions; building early warning and early response systems for local conflicts; and, in conjunction with local governments and traditional institutions, developing grassroots conflict resolution infrastructure such as mediation and restorative justice units and processes. All three institutions possess important convening powers to initiate dialogue and larger peace processes. Although the young institutions have faced difficult challenges, they have nonetheless exhibited early promise for stemming violence and insecurity across Nigeria, and their experiences provide important lessons for other states considering similar institutions. Based on more than fifty interviews conducted between 2018 and 2021, the report was supported by the Africa Center at the United States Institute of Peace and the Bureau for Conflict Stabilization Operations at the US Department of State.

description: This thesis has been embargoed for 10 years. It will not be available until April 2031 at the earliest.
description: This thesis is comprised of narrative poems which focus on the author’s experiences at home and abroad. The sections are ordered anachronistically, each one taking place in one of three countries: the United States, China, or Thailand. The collection incorporates undercurrents of magical realism, and the symbolic imagery is primarily rooted in nature; thunder, floods, fowl, fish, and insects resurface throughout. The poet travels to Asia in hopes of transforming her outlook on life, ultimately finding herself still isolated and frequently reflecting on events from her past. Despite her loneliness, a change in perspective gradually occurs partially due to her exploration of Buddhism. This collection elucidates the changes which took place in the author’s life over the course of her travels and as a result of her formative experiences in childhood and adolescence.

description: This dissertation consists of three essays on civic tax behavior, public goods provisions, and poverty. First essay identifies indirect effects of corruption on individual tax morale which imply that corruption breaks the fiscal contract between government and taxpayers. Second essay examines the effects of ethnic institutions particularly ethnic fractionalization, economic heterogeneity among ethnic groups, and rising threats to White prototypicality on public goods supply in the USA. Third essay studies the puzzles of stagnating poverty amidst high growth and declining unemployment in the USA can be explained significantly by polarized job markets that occurred in job quality and job distribution.

title: Lamplighters Groups: Their Presentations, Caylely Graphs, and Generating Automata
Creators: name: Miller, Holly
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2023

description: The focus of this paper is the traditional lamplighter group L2 = (Z/2Z) wrZ and the broader class of lamplighter groups LG = Gwr Z, where G is a finite group. These groups have seen direct use in papers such as [7], in which Grigorchuk, Linnell, Schick, and Z˙ uk show there is a closed Riemannian manifold (with the HNN-extension of L2 as its fundamental group) that has a rational L2-Betti number. Other results rely on generalizing or building atop the lamplighter group, as is done by Brieussel and Zheng in [3] to expand the known possible speed, entropy, isoperimetric profile, return probability, and compression gap attainable by random walks on finitely generated groups. This paper provides the algebraic background needed to understand the definition of the traditional lamplighter group, as well as its presentation, Caylely graph, and representation as an automaton group. All three of these constructions provide distinct avenues to generalize the lamplighter group. The sort of generalization discussed in this paper—moving from L2 to LG—is quite natural from the perspective of the lamplighter group’s Cayley graph and presentation. The case of finding a suitable automaton to generate such generalizations is more interesting; only some lamplighter groups LG can be generated by automata. When G is a finite Abelian group, then LG can be generated by the Cayley machine C(G) of G, and when G is a finite Non-Abelian group there is no automaton which can generate the group. These Cayley machines are interesting in their own right, so we explore the more general structure of the groups generated by Cayley machines.
