Improving Summer Session Efficiencies: A Case Study
Creators: name: Murgolo-Poore, Marie
Publisher: name: Summer Academe: A Journal of Higher Education
Year: 2015

description: Nevada was one of the hardest-hit states during the recent financial crisis and is still far behind the rest of the country in recovery (Luhby, 2012). Since 2008, the Nevada System of Higher Education has seen a 20.3% decrease in state support (Palmer, 2012). With state funds significantly reduced and funding required for student success initiatives on an increase, Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) found itself needing to maximize the generation of non-state funds. One area that had great potential as an excellent source of non-state funds was summer session. Although TMCC’s summer session had always been run as a self-supporting entity, it had not been run under a profit- (surplus-) generating business model. When internal reorganization had left the summer session program without a dedicated administrator, it was decided that the dean of business would take on that role. This decision was made specifically so summer session would be run as a surplus-generating business.
The transition from the past—which had seen summer session less as a value to the institution and more as a value to participating faculty—to a model that works within the policy to maximize returns to the institution, provide fair compensation to faculty, and ensure that student needs are met, has been wrought with a number of challenges. This paper reviews the process and outcomes, including the major  opportunities and challenges in the three years since the transition took place.

description: This paper reviews the important events and conditions shaping the genesis, growth, and development of a highly successful summer bridge program (an academic program offered to students before their first year of college) in continuous operation since 2002. The University of California, Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) Freshman Summer Start Program (FSSP), a financially self-supporting program, was designed to help incoming, first-time students make smooth transitions to UCSB. It provides a core set of academic experiences, including credit-bearing courses, and other academic, social, recreational, and personal enrichment experiences designed to engage students in the life of the mind as they achieve their academic objectives in a timely fashion. The growth and development of some of FSSP’s more salient sub-programmatic elements are described.

Year: 2015

description: This is an evaluation of the impact of a 13-year-old summer bridge program—the University of California, Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) Freshman Summer Start Program (FSSP)—on its students and the home campus. In continuous operation since summer 2002, FSSP was designed to help incoming, first-time students make smooth academic and social transitions to the campus. Its core set of academic experiences includes credit-bearing courses and other academic, social, recreational, and personal enrichment experiences to engage students as they achieve their academic objectives in a timely fashion. The paper summarizes various outcome measures used to assess FSSP’s student and campus impact and recommends how lessons learned from our experiences with FSSP might help other summer sessions administrators and/or faculty colleagues design and implement a summer bridge program tailored to benefit and engage students within the context of the home institution’s mission and goals.

description: Humanitarian action is accompanied by a mass of reports, summaries, news, and other documents. To guide its activities, important information must be quickly extracted from such free-text resources. Quantities, such as the number of people affected, amount of aid distributed, or the extent of infrastructure damage, are central to emergency response and anticipatory action. In this work, we contribute an annotated dataset for the humanitarian domain for the extraction of such quantitative information, along side its important context, including units it refers to, any modifiers, and the relevant event. Further, we develop a custom Natural Language Processing pipeline to extract the quantities alongside their units, and evaluate it in comparison to baseline and recent literature. The proposed model achieves a consistent improvement in the performance, especially in the documents pertaining to the Dominican Republic and select African countries. We make the dataset and code available to the research community to continue the improvement of NLP tools for the humanitarian domain.

description: This article analyzes the late-nineteenth-century stage illusion “The Second Sight,” which seemingly demonstrates the performers’ telepathic abilities. The illusion is on the one hand regarded as an expression of contemporary trends in cultural imagination as it seizes upon notions implied by spiritualism as well as utopian and dystopian ideas associated with technical media. On the other hand, the spread of binary code in communication can be traced along with the development of the "Second Sight," the latter being outlined by means of three examples using different methods to obtain a similar effect. While the first version used a speaking code to transmit information, the other two were performed silently, relying on other ways of communication. The article reveals how stage magic, technical media, spiritualism, and mind reading were interconnected in the late nineteenth century, and drove each other forward.

description: Progress monitoring has become more and more important as owners have increasingly demanded shorter times for the delivery of their projects. This trend is even more evident in high technology industries, such as the computer industry and the chemical industry. Fast changing markets, such as the computer industry, force companies to have to build new facilities quickly. To make a statement about construction progress, the status of a building has to be determined and monitored over a period of time. Depicting the construction progress in a diagram over time, statements can be made about the anticipated completion of the project and delays and problems in certain areas. Having this information, measures can be taken to efficiently >catch up< on the schedule of the project. New technologies, such as wearable computers, speech recognition, touch screens and wireless networks could help to move electronic data processing to the construction site. Progress monitoring could very much take advantage of this move, as several intermediate steps of processing progress data can be made unnecessary. The processing of progress data could be entirely done by computers, which means that data for supporting decisions can be made available at the moment the construction progress is measured. This paper describes a project, that investigates how these new technologies can be linked to create a system that enhances the efficiency of progress monitoring. During the project a first prototype of a progress monitoring system was developed that allows construction companies and site supervisors to measure construction progress on site using wearable computers that are speech controlled and connected to a central database via a wireless network.

description: The MiG-V was designed for high-security applications and is the first commercially available logic-locked RISC-V processor on the market. In this context logic locking was used to protect the RISC-V processor design during the untrusted manufacturing process by using key-driven logic gates to obfuscate the original design. Although this method defends against malicious modifications, such as hardware Trojans, logic locking's impact on the RISC-V processor's data confidentiality during runtime has not been thoroughly examined. In this study, we evaluate the impact of logic locking on data confidentiality. By altering the logic locking key of the MiG-V while running SSL cryptographic algorithms, we identify data leakages resulting from the exploitation of the logic locking hardware. We show that changing a single bit of the logic locking key can expose 100% of the cryptographic encryption key. This research reveals a critical security flaw in logic locking, highlighting the need for comprehensive security assessments beyond logic locking key-recovery attacks.

description: In this paper, we present a novel method for 3D geometric scene graph generation using range sensors and RGB cameras. We initially detect instance-wise keypoints with a YOLOv8s model to compute 6D pose estimates of known objects by solving PnP. We use a ray tracing approach to track a geometric scene graph consisting of mesh models of object instances. In contrast to classical point-to-point matching, this leads to more robust results, especially under occlusions between objects instances. We show that using this hybrid strategy leads to robust self-localization, pre-segmentation of the range sensor data and accurate pose tracking of objects using the same environmental representation. All detected objects are integrated into a semantic scene graph. This scene graph then serves as a front end to a semantic mapping framework to allow spatial reasoning.

description: Learned dense representations are a popular family of techniques for encoding queries and documents using high-dimensional embeddings, which enable retrieval by performing approximate k nearest-neighbors search (A-kNN). A popular technique for making A-kNN search efficient is based on a two-level index, where the embeddings of documents are clustered offline and, at query processing, a fixed number N of clusters closest to the query is visited exhaustively to compute the result set. In this paper, we build upon state-of-the-art for early exit A-kNN and propose an unsupervised method based on the notion of patience, which can reach competitive effectiveness with large efficiency gains. Moreover, we discuss a cascade approach where we first identify queries that find their nearest neighbor within the closest t << N clusters, and then we decide how many more to visit based on our patience approach or other state-of-the-art strategies. Reproducible experiments employing state-of-the-art dense retrieval models and publicly available resources show that our techniques improve the A-kNN efficiency with up to 5x speedups while achieving negligible effectiveness losses.

Year: 2015

description: Students at institutions of higher education are spending millions of dollars per semester on textbooks. This financial burden is having a negative impact on student success. By promoting the use of free course materials, the open educational resources (OER) movement provides a way to greatly reduce textbook costs, while also offering an opportunity for academic innovation. Since the OER movement is still in its early stages, with modest investment summer sessions have an opportunity to take leadership roles on their campuses by beginning OER initiatives. In addition to helping students reduce educational costs and thereby improve their success, OER initiatives can be effective marketing tools by providing very positive press. Furthermore, the OER initiatives can increase summer sessions’ reputation as a leader in academic innovation on campus. In this paper, we explain OER, its potential benefits for summer sessions, and a strategy for implementing OER.

Year: 2015

description: In fall 2013, the Office of Summer and Winter Programs at the University of Connecticut (UConn) was charged by the Office of the Provost with creating a new, intensive summer program designed specifically for incoming freshmen and transfer students, to run for the first time the following summer. The program, under the name UConn First Summer, was intended to achieve two primary purposes: to offer incoming students a head start on their academic work and, no less significantly, to immerse them in a campus experience aimed at building college skills. This paper outlines the process of building the program, leading up to the resulting program launch in July 2014. The paper lays out the various pieces of this process, including marketing, curriculum development, and event and activity planning. A significant part of the paper discusses how each stage of the program build required addressing a range of challenges, resulting primarily from institutional obstacles and the compressed time line for the program’s creation.

Adopting Derrida’s notions of a hauntology and a spectrology it argues for a genuine productivity of cinematic space that is able to build ghostly environments without incorporating an actual specter. This productivity is described as ‘making appear’ and ‘making act’. Furthermore, the paper explains how, in the era of silent cinema, cinematic techniques were used to create scenes of haunting.
Paradigms of Learning the Traditions

Subjects: classificationCode: 390401
subject: Comparative and cross-cultural education

description: The traditional paradigms of learning are grounded in long-established educational philosophies and practices that emphasize structured, teacher-centered instruction. Rooted in behaviorism, essentialism, and classical humanism, these paradigms focus on knowledge transmission, memorization, and discipline through formal curricula. The learner is often seen as a passive recipient, and the teacher as the primary source of authority and knowledge. These traditions prioritize uniformity, standardized assessment, and mastery of core subjects, shaping much of modern education's foundations. While effective in many contexts, these paradigms are now being reevaluated in light of emerging learner-centered and technology-driven approaches.

description: Summer administrators are feverishly tasked with developing new and innovative strategies to increase student enrollment. Competing priorities have influenced the increase in online course offerings and, in turn, the need for greater campus utilization. With numerous constraints around college campuses during the summer, there is a need to further stimulate buy-in to create change. This article examines a case study of an initiative spearheaded by the Summer START program at North Carolina State University that achieved this through increased student engagement. The creation of the certificate took the collaboration of numerous offices, and it increased student support programming by 400% during the summer of 2014.

description: Next-Generation Sequencing allows for the in-depth sequencing of genetic materials for the extraction of key aberrant drivers obtained in high throughput. Current analytic approaches in cancer research require sequencing data to be aligned prior to downstream analysis. However, with alternating pipelines required this over-simplifies the complex nature of the cancer landscape and potential therapeutic avenues.

We aim to highlight the potential applications of alignment-free clustering in modern research. This approach, which is currently being explored in a phylogenetic context to successfully classify species, involves segmenting the sequencing data into features and obtaining a feature frequency profile for each sample before applying a distance metric (Sims et al. 2009). We aim to develop this concept for the application of sequencing data by applying filtering algorithms to remove non-significant data and creating low-dimensional views using self-organising maps. Thus far, we have applied our method to a cohort of multi-regional longitudinal glioma samples obtained through collaboration with the University of California.

Our initial results, using Exome-seq data, show that this approach could be successfully used for clustering analysis in cancer research with the potential to further expand this use into other sequencing modalities. Furthermore, we aim to continue exploring this methodology with the potential to eventually combine multiple sequencing modalities in order to obtain a more accurate interpretation for a true patient passport. The abundance of successful applications of alignment-free analysis in sequencing has revealed the power of this approach showing promise for the future of tumour sequencing
analysis in cancer research.
Per-Pixel Calibration for RGB-Depth Natural 3D Reconstruction on GPU

Subjects: subject: Digital Communications and Networking

description: Ever since the Kinect brought low-cost depth cameras into consumer market, great interest has been invigorated into Red-Green-Blue-Depth (RGBD) sensors. Without calibration, a RGBD camera’s horizontal and vertical field of view (FoV) could help generate 3D reconstruction in camera space naturally on graphics processing unit (GPU), which however is badly deformed by the lens distortions and imperfect depth resolution (depth distortion). The camera’s calibration based on a pinhole-camera model and a high-order distortion removal model requires a lot of calculations in the fragment shader. In order to get rid of both the lens distortion and the depth distortion while still be able to do simple calculations in the GPU fragment shader, a novel per-pixel calibration method with look-up table based 3D reconstruction in real-time is proposed, using a rail calibration system. This rail calibration system offers possibilities of collecting infinite calibrating points of dense distributions that can cover all pixels in a sensor, such that not only lens distortions, but depth distortion can also be handled by a per-pixel D to ZW mapping. Instead of utilizing the traditional pinhole camera model, two polynomial mapping models are employed. One is a two-dimensional high-order polynomial mapping from R/C to XW=YW respectively, which handles lens distortions; and the other one is a per-pixel linear mapping from D to ZW, which can handle depth distortion. With only six parameters and three linear equations in the fragment shader, the undistorted 3D world coordinates (XW, YW, ZW) for every single pixel could be generated in real-time. The per-pixel calibration method could be applied universally on any RGBD cameras. With the alignment of RGB values using a pinhole camera matrix, it could even work on a combination of a random Depth sensor and a random RGB sensor.

description: Haemoglobin (Hb)-M Hyde Park, also known as Hb-M Akita is a rare type of hereditary Hb M due to autosomal dominant mutation of CAC>TAC on codon 92 of β globin gene resulting in the replacement of histidine by tyrosine on β globin chain. This variant Hb has a tendency to form methaemoglobin (metHb). The iron ion in metHb is oxidized to ferric (Fe3+) which is unable to carry oxygen and the patients manifest as cyanosis clinically. A 9-year-old Malay girl was incidentally found to be cyanotic when she presented to a health clinic. Laboratory investigations revealed raised methaemoglobin levels and Hb analysis findings were consistent with Hb-M Hyde Park. β gene sequencing confirmed a point mutation of CAC>TAC on codon 92 in one of the β genes. The family study done on the individuals with cyanosis showed similar findings. A diagnosis of heterozygous Hb-M Hyde Park was made. Patients with this variant Hb usually presented with cyanosis with mild haemolysis and maybe misdiagnosed as congenital heart disease. No further treatment is needed as patients are relatively asymptomatic. Although the disease is harmless in the heterozygous carriers but the offspring of the carriers may suffer severe haemolytic anaemia when the offspring also inherit other β haemoglobinopathies/thalassemia. This can happen due to high prevalence of β thalassemia carrier (3.5-4 %) found in Malaysia. At the time of writing, this is the first case of hereditary Hb-M Hyde Park diagnosed in a Malay family living in Malaysia.

description: Reaching all regions of Earth, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites can harvest delay-tolerant data from remotely located users on Earth without ground infrastructure. This work aims to assess a data harvest network architecture where users generate data and LEO satellites harvest data from users when passing by. By developing a novel stochastic geometry Cox point process model that simultaneously generates orbits and the motion of LEO satellite harvesters on them, we analyze key performance indices of such a network by deriving the following: (i) the average fraction of time that the typical user is served by LEO satellite harvesters, (ii) the average amount of data uploaded per each satellite pass, (iii) the maximum harvesting capacity of the proposed network model, and (iv) the delay distribution in the proposed network. These key metrics are given as functions of key network variables such as $λ$ the mean number of orbits and $μ$ the mean number of satellites per orbit. Providing rich comprehensive analytical results and practical interpretations of these results, this work assesses the potential of the delay-tolerant use of LEO satellites and also serves as a versatile framework to analyze, design, and optimize delay-tolerant LEO satellite networks.

description: Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks connect millions of devices on Earth and offer various services, such as data communications, remote sensing, and data harvesting. As the number of services increases, LEO satellite networks will continue to grow, and many LEO satellite network operators will share the same spectrum resources. We aim to examine the coexistence of such a future heterogeneous LEO satellite network by proposing a tractable spatial model and analyzing the basic performance of downlink communications. We model a heterogeneous LEO satellite network as Cox point processes, ensuring satellites are located on various orbits. Then, we analyze two different access technologies for such a heterogeneous satellite network: closed access and open access. For both cases, we derive the coverage probability and prove that the coverage probability of the open access scenario outperforms that of the closed access, and this coverage enhancement applies to all users. By providing essential network performance statistics as key distributional parameters and by presenting the fact that the Cox point process approximates a forthcoming future constellation with slight variation, the developed framework and analysis will serve as a tractable instrument to design, evaluate, and optimize heterogeneous LEO satellite networks with numerous constellations.
