description: Land in the Philippines has been subject to scarcity and overexploitation for the past years due to two of the many societal trends – population growth and continuous land degradation. In order to contribute to livable, safe, and sustainable communities, green spaces are recognized as a key element to navigate a variety of physical activities for the general public. Filinvest City in Muntinlupa was assessed to study its spatio-temporal changes, its impacts on ecosystem services, and the strategies in support for nature-based solutions. Data analysis was conducted through (1) QGIS and remote sensing to examine LULC change and landscape metrics, (2) reports synthesis on eco-profiling for biodiversity conservation assessment, and (3) ecosystem services assessment through survey. The results generated from remote sensing show integral data on the decrease of open land and rise of built-up areas between 2009 to 2015. On the other hand, Filinvest City showed high value on biodiversity preservation through maintenance and protection of its fauna (59% are resident breeder non-endemic bird species) and flora (47% are trees species). There is also significant correlation on the importance of ecosystem services functions with urban parks, recreational spaces, and biodiversity conservation. To further evaluate Filinvest City apart from study on ecosystem services and its impacts, it is recommended to conduct a (1) more up-to-date rapid biodiversity assessment and (2) analysis on urban heat island effect caused by green infrastructures replacing the natural land cover.

description: Expression Atlas (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gxa) contains pre-analyzed RNA-sequencing and expression microarray data for querying gene expression across tissues, cell types, developmental stages and many other experimental conditions, in over 35 organisms including metazoans and plants. Queries can be either in a baseline context, e.g. find genes expressed in the macaque brain, or in a differential context, e.g. find genes that are up or down-regulated in response to auxin in Arabidopsis.  All datasets are manually curated to a high standard by in-house curators and processed using standardised analysis methods.

As of June 2016, Expression Atlas consists of 2905 datasets, including 95 baseline experiments. All data in Expression Atlas are free to browse, download, reuse and are selected from the ArrayExpress archive of functional genomics data at EMBL-EBI. It is possible to search and download datasets in Expression Atlas into R for further analysis, and we now provide a REST API for access to thousands of pre-analysed RNA-sequencing datasets.

Gene expression is shown through heatmaps for one or more genes. Groups of genes belonging to a Gene Ontology Category (GO) or REACTOME pathway can be queried directly using the GO or REACTOME identifier. Latest features allow the exploration of gene co-expression; based on genes with similar expression profiles across tissues, cell lines or other conditions within an experiment. In addition we now allow users to input their gene lists of interest and test the statistical significance of their overlap with available experiments in Expression Atlas through a REST API.

description: We share our self-study research of faculty building a successful collaborative culture and team teaching experience in a unique Master’s program for PK-12 practicing teachers. As part of selfstudy and reflective practice, this particular faculty team shared its collaborative experiences with teachers. This transparency impacted teachers’ perceptions of faculty and their own teaming experiences. To frame our work, we use the notion of learning zones (Samaras, 2002, 2004), adapted from Vygotsky's (1978) conception of zone of proximal development. A multi-vocal perspective on the processes of faculty professional development and program development is presented.

description: The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine factors that may influence diverse class climates and teacher-student relationships (TSRs) with two hundred and five (N=205) elementary school teachers. Participants were asked to respond to surveys regarding their beliefs and perceptions of their emotional and cultural capacities in working with diverse student groups. It was hypothesized that teacher factors such as teacher emotional intelligence (EI), cultural intelligence (CQ), diversity self-efficacy (DSE), and interaction self-efficacy (ISE) would all directly influence diverse class climates and TSRs. Second, it was hypothesized that DSE would partially mediate the effects of CQ, and ISE would partially mediate the effects of EI on the outcomes. Finally, it was hypothesized that EI and CQ would covary. SEM analysis indicated that teacher EI, but not CQ, DSE or ISE, influenced TSRs in diverse student groups. As expected EI positively influenced ISE, CQ positively influenced DSE, and EI and CQ covaried. No support was found for the second hypothesis due to the lack of discriminant validity among the measures. Although the CQ construct, as a whole, did not influence TSRs, its relevance was indicated by the influence of its subscales on EI and TSR conflict. Cultural knowledge, a CQ subcomponent, had an independent, inverse effect on TSR conflict and an inverse relationship to DSE. These findings may imply that teachers who exhibited higher levels of cultural knowledge experienced less conflict in their TSRs and were less confident in working with diverse student groups. Interestingly, results also indicated effects of CQ subcomponents on teacher EI and EI subcomponents. The results highlight the importance of teacher EI and cultural knowledge in working with diverse student groups. It also provides initial insight into the relationships between and among EI and CQ subcomponents. Limitations and educational implications are discussed.

Subjects: subject: 90404 Membrane and Separation Technologies
subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: In vanadium redox flow battery systems porous carbon felts are commonly employed as electrodes inside the flow channel. Recently, slurry electrodes (or flow suspension electrodes) were introduced as a potentially viable electrode system. Such electrode systems are little understood so far. Mass, momentum and charge transfer phenomena cooccur, interactions with each and are nearly impossible capture experimentally. We present a novel discrete model of the particulate phase combining theories from fluid dynamics, colloidal physics, and electrochemistry with a coupled CFD-DEM approach. The methodology allows to visualize local phenomena occurring during the charging of the battery and to compute the net current of the slurry electrode system. We demonstrate that an increasing particle volume fraction enables the formation of conducting networks in the flow electrode until a threshold is reached. Our study concludes, that the assumption of all particles participating in the charge transfer as assumed in pure CFD investigations is not necessarily valid.

description: This thesis provides the first fourth of a novel which follows two brothers as they travel through France and into Switzerland—one on his way to die by way of physician-assisted suicide and the other attempting to convince the other out of it. Jake, the older brother, has faced cancer twice before and it has come back a third time in the form of an inoperable brain tumor. He wishes not to waste away under the treatment of his illness, and thus requests a death date from a Swiss organization named Exit Journey, which upon awarding their assistant, makes their own request—that Jake journey with a companion for the end. Unable to put his young daughter or mother through the ordeal, Jake enlists the help of his younger brother Brian, who has recently left a career in politics to attend seminary school. Brian agrees to go with Jake, as long as the two brothers visit French churches and pilgrimage sites along the way, Brian believing that he still has time to convince his brother to turn to God rather than lethal injection.

description: BACKGROUND: Bleeding risk brought by intensive lipid-lowering therapy and low low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is concern-ing, while evidence regarding the relationship between remnant cholesterol and bleeding is frightening. This study aimed to investigate the association between remnant cholesterol at admission and an in-hospital bleeding event after acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 3222 eligible patients admitted to Shanghai Huashan Hospital between 2015 and 2021 with complete lipid data were analyzed. Patients were classified into low (<20.0 mg/dL), moderate (20.0–29.9 mg/dL), and high (≥30 mg/dL) groups by remnant cholesterol. The mean age of patients was 63.0± 13.1 years, including 2301 (71.4%) men and 651 (20.2%) with TIA. The median (interquartile range) of remnant cholesterol was 18.6 (13.5–25.9) mg/dL. After adjustment for confounding variables, patients with low remnant cholesterol had a higher risk of bleeding events (odds ratio, 2.56 [95% CI, 1.12–6.67]) than those with moderate remnant cholesterol. The high remnant cholesterol group was not significantly associated with bleeding risk. Combined assessment of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and remnant cholesterol further identi-fied patients with the highest risk of bleeding events. CONCLUSIONS: Low remnant cholesterol levels were associated with bleeding events during the acute stage of ischemic stroke and TIA. The assessment of remnant cholesterol could inform the bleeding risk during hospitalization both for patients and physicians in clinical practice.

description: Regular, series concerts of major choral-orchestral repertoire in 19th-century America were risky ventures, and promoters struggled to develop sustainable entrepreneurial models. Prominent Wall Street lawyer and diarist George Templeton Strong, a music connoisseur, devised an ingenious business plan for his part-volunteer, part-professional Church Music Association in 1869, one that relied on advance sale of private subscriptions to the affluent, who then shared their large allotments of tickets with personal guests. But after three successful seasons in Steinway Hall, culminating in the American premiere of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, the group lost its “star,” brilliant choral conductor James Pech, when he was found to be a bigamist who had deserted his first family in England. The subsequent demise of the demoralized organization illustrates the precariousness and vulnerability of concert infrastructure at this time.

Tollens Reaction-based Integration of Thin Film Wall Electrodes into Microfluidic PDMS Devices

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 90404 Membrane and Separation Technologies
subject: FOS: Chemical engineering

description: The integration of electrodes into microfluidic devices i a prerequisite for several key technologies such as electrophoresis, dielectrophoresis, electrowetting, or analysis and manipulation of biological cells in organ-on-a-chip applications. However, conventional sputtering or metal deposition methods result in electrodes on the top or the bottom of the microfluidic device leading to either an inhomogeneous electrical field or considerable restrictions regarding optical analysis methods. Here, we present a novel method for integrating electrodes into microfluidic devices based on the deposition of silver films on the sidewalls of microfluidic channels by Tollens reaction. Aldehydes diffuse readily through polydimethylsiloxane (PMS) walls and reduce noble metal ions such as silver, which in turn precipitate and deposit on the phase border as homogeneous thin layers. The process results in sidewall electrodes that adopt the channel's geometry and offer a highly homogeneous electrical field in the case of a rectangular channel. We analyzed the electrode by dissipative X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and visualized the electrical field by particle image velocimetry (PIV). The method can fabricate electrodes in different shapes rendering the process highly promising for a wide range of different electrochemical applications in the field of microfluidics, while simultaneously enable optical analysis methods.

description: Xanthomonas is a genus of gram-negative γ-proteobacteria that infects over 400 different plant hosts, including important crops like rice, wheat, citrus, tomato, cabbage, banana and bean, posing both an economical threat and a danger to food security. The highly diverse genus comprises of 33 validly named species, which are further subdivided into pathovars, which are defined by host and tissue specificities. Some Xanthomonas species pathovars are further subdivided into different races based on which host near-isogenic lines of cultivars they infect. Xanthomonas is mainly transmitted via infected seeds, with seed trade being one route that disseminates the pathogen over large geographical distances. While some treatments are available, they are not effective in all species and resistance to standard treatments is becoming more prevalent. Therefore, detection and accurate identification of infected seeds and plant material is crucial to stop the spread and manage plant diseases. Standard identifcation methods are often laborious, costly and slow, e.g. requiring isolation on semi-selective media or serological tests. While molecular diagnostics (e.g. conventional or real-time PCR) are available for some species, finding diagnostic markers has been challenging for pathovars and races and reliable molecular diagnostics for e.g. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) races were previously unavailable. To facilitate reliable and reproducible finding of diagnostic targets and to make picking primers for those targets as user-friendly as possible, we chose a phylogeny-driven, clade-based approach and created an easy-to-use pipeline. A phylogeny-driven, clade-based approach allows for the accurate determination of diagnostic targets and off-targets, providing an unbiased basis for the rest of the pipeline which automatically finds unique genomic regions for a target species, pathovar or race with moderate user intervention, automatically picks primers for these regions that are amenable to both conventional PCR and quantitative PCR, and finally tests them for specificity and sensitivity. In many cases, the unique genomic regions found can also be used to generate LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) primers.
title: Elementary Mathematics Specialist Coaches' Construction of a Hypothetical Learning Trajectory for Rational Number Equipartitioning
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2019

description: This qualitative study investigates how mathematics coaches use and refer to different sources of learning trajectories when examining written artifacts of student thinking. As an aspect of horizon mathematical knowledge for teaching, knowledge of learning trajectories reflects the mathematics coach’s personal amalgamation of different learning trajectories, which is used as a road map for student learning. Using the framework of professional noticing and Confrey’s (2012) framework for unpacking learning trajectories to guide the study design, mathematics coaches discuss and sort artifacts of student thinking and are then asked about their interpretation of student thinking. A qualitative design explores what features of the work mathematics coaches attend to, interpret, and plan to address in their coaching practice. A thematic network analysis method was used to map the coaches’ actions against references they make to existing learning trajectories. This study adds to the body of knowledge of how learning trajectories guide educators’ planning and assessment decisions and with implications for understanding the identity language coaches use when discussing student work. The variety and richness of justifications coaches cite for pairing and grouping students based on their work is an unexplored area of research that warrants further study.

description: The research conducted on forgiveness has mostly focused on an adult population. In the current thesis, I examined the influence of child age, gender, and maternal judgment of forgivability of self and others on child judgment of forgivability of self and others. In addition, I investigated the effect of interparental conflict and resolution strategies to assist in discerning how mothers communicate forgiveness practices to their children. Eighty-four children and their mothers were administered a series of questionnaires, to assess both the child's propensity to forgive and the maternal influence on the development of forgiveness. Results indicated that age, maternal judgment of forgivability, and child perception of interparental conflict were significant predictors of child judgment of forgivability of self and others. Future research should further investigate the role parents play in child forgiveness. The development of forgiveness in children is important, so they may benefit from forgiveness’ positive effects.

description: Neighborhood disadvantage and crime have been found to be predictive of poorer academic outcomes. Children in disadvantaged neighborhoods and those with high crime levels have been found to perform worse academically than those from more affluent or safer communities. This thesis investigated the role of neighborhood crime and economic disadvantage in children’s early (pre-kindergarten) and later (3rd grade) academic achievement. Moreover, I explored the role of school readiness as a mediator between neighborhoods and academic achievement. This thesis used a subsample of 3,350 children from the Miami School Readiness Project (MSRP), which followed children attending subsidized childcare services at age four between 2002 and 2007 in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The MSRP provided data on child and family demographics, school readiness, and 3rd-grade outcomes. Factor analyses were used to create a residential neighborhood disadvantage measure using data from the 2000 Census and a single indicator of crime using data from the National Neighborhood Crime Study for each of the 308 identified census tracts. Two-level models that nested children in their census tracts and added neighborhood characteristics to the second level alongside child characteristics that were present at both levels were used to address research questions. Results indicated that neighborhood disadvantage significantly predicted cognitive abilities at age four, third-grade math achievement, and GPA. Unexpectedly, neighborhood crime was a positive predictor of reading test scores and GPA. Cognitive skills at age four mediated the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and math achievement. The implications and limitations of these results are discussed.

description: This paper presents initial results of a study on the application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization methods in the design of the steel structural systems of tall buildings. In the paper, a brief overview of the state-of-the-art in evolutionary multi-objective optimization in structural engineering is provided. Next, conceptual design of steel structural systems in tall buildings is overviewed and the representations of steel structural systems used in the paper are discussed. Furthermore, Emergent Designer, a unique evolutionary design tool developed at George Mason University, is briefly described. It is an integrated research and design support tool which applies models of complex adaptive systems to represent engineering systems and to analyze design processes and their results. The paper also presents the results of several multi-objective structural design experiments conducted with Emergent Designer in which steel structural systems in tall buildings were optimized with respect to their total weight and maximum deflection (two-objective minimization problem). The goal of these experiments was to determine feasibility of evolutionary multi-objective optimization of steel structural systems of tall buildings as well as to qualitatively and quantitatively compare the results with the previous findings obtained with single-objective evolutionary optimization methods. Finally, initial research conclusions are presented as well as promising research directions.

description: Between Two Worlds: The Fairy-Tale Novels of Aleksandr Fomich Vel'tman is a thesis devoted to four of the author’s novels published during the 1830s and 1840s: Koshchei bessmertnyi (1833), Svetoslavich, vrazhii pitomets (1835), Serdtse i Dumka (1838) and Novyi Emelia, ili Prevrashcheniia (1845). It argues for the typological unity of these works based on their prominent use of fairy-tale structures and motifs, and analyses them against the backdrop of their nineteenth-century context, relating them to the emergence and development of the ‘Romantic fairy tale’ as a literary genre throughout Europe and to the philosophical and intellectual environment in which they were written. The thesis thereby seeks to posit these novels as a unique, yet nevertheless organic, response to contemporary aesthetic issues and trends and to challenge dominant perceptions of Vel’tman’s fiction as idiosyncratic and unapproachable. The title itself, Between Two Worlds, reflects the two trajectories of investigation that the thesis will endeavour to pursue: the paradigmatic, in an analysis of the interplay of fairy-tale and mimetic elements within the texts, and the diachronic, in viewing how this interplay changes over the course of the novels against the backdrop of the broader aesthetic evolution from Romanticism to Critical Realism in Russian letters. After establishing a typological model for the volshebnaia skazka it will argue that the form is employed in these four works as a discourse of the self, and serves to actualize the relationship between the individual and the world, the ideal and the real. Employing a methodology that draws on various psychoanalytical models it will discuss how, in contemporary theory, the fairy tale can be read symbolically as a discourse of personal development to meaningful interaction with the surrounding world. Subsequently, it will proceed to show how Vel’tman’s use of the form in his novelistic creations self-consciously problematizes this basic idea, as the fairy tale is alternately presented as facilitator of, and obstacle to, such growth. It will analyse in particular how these novels suggest different readings of the fairy tale and, through a comparison with other generic systems, different conceptions of its potential truth. Ultimately, it will argue that the ambiguity of the fairy tale in these works stems from its dual status as both symbolic discourse and cultural artefact, and that they are as much ‘novels about fairy tales’ as they are ‘fairy-tale novels’.

description: Background Adults on probation are at greater risk of both using substances and having a mental disorder compared to the general population. Several theories explain the relationship between substance use and poor mental health. However, the interaction between substance use, mental health, and substance-related consequences is not well understood. A better understanding of this relationship may help treatment programs become more responsive to people with serious mental illness (SMI). Method The current study used interview data from 313 adults on probation who reported recent substance use. We examined associations between SMI risk, substance use, and substance use consequences. Results A substantial proportion of the sample (37.5%) screened at risk of having a SMI. Adjusting for type and amount of substance use, those who screened at risk of having a SMI reported more negative substance use consequences. Significant interaction effects were observed between use of alcohol or opiates and SMI risk. Alcohol use was associated with more negative substance use consequences among those at risk of SMI, while opiate use was associated with more consequences among those not at risk. Conclusions Programs are sorely needed to identify and treat adults with comorbid substance use and mental health symptoms, particularly for adults in the justice system. Clinicians should carefully consider how mental health may interact with substance use to exacerbate consequences.

description: Openly gay Elaine Owens is a survivor of a car accident that killed both her parents. She relives the accident in her sleep and every time she gets in a car, until, amidst a panic attack, she almost jumps from her aunt’s car. Her aunt implores her to seek treatment, insisting that her flashbacks and panic aren’t something Elaine has to solider through. Admitted after a failed suicide attempt, Avery Monroe has been at Maple Grove three months when Elaine arrives. Labelled nonresponsive to treatment, Avery’s memories of childhood sexual abuse begin to resurface in fragments after her parents threaten to move her to another treatment center. When she witnesses the homophobic responses of fellow patients to Elaine’s sexuality, Avery offers the two things she can—quiet friendship and help with Elaine’s pre-calc homework. Weeks later, when a volatile new patient comes to Maple Grove, Avery and Elaine are each pushed to confront elements of their trauma that have remained inaccessibly until now. Told in alternating chapters between Elaine’s and Avery’s perspectives, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE is an exploration of queerness, trauma, recovery, and what the privilege of quality mental healthcare can afford to those who so desperately need it.

title: Anime and Japanese Uniqueness: The Cultural Authenticity of Japanese Animation

Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Cultural product
subject: Anime
subject: Cool Japan
subject: Japanese popular culture
subject: Japan
subject: Cultural authenticity

description: This thesis focuses on the conception of Japanese animation or “anime” as a specifically Japanese cultural product, rather than one produced as the result of global influences. While anime is produced similarly to films and TV shows produced outside of Japan and has overseas influences in its design, it is seen as culturally distinctive as evidenced in particular animation techniques, story themes, and socio-historical contexts. Analysis of relevant literature focuses on the history of anime followed by an analysis of anime as a cultural export. Targeted cultural industry research is included to illustrate global production systems and to demonstrate the expressive potential of cultural products. A short qualitative survey distributed to several anime clubs and organizations is included as a means to get an “insiders” view from anime fans on the question of whether anime is viewed by its audience as purely Japanese.

title: A Discourse on Nonviolence as a Theory of Change for Peace and Conflict

description: Can nonviolence as a collective ontological, epistemological, methodological, and ethical framework cohere as a theory of change relevant to today’s global, international, and cross-cultural conflicts? This thesis seeks to frame the discourse on that question, pursuing the answer by critiquing the philosophy of nonviolence, both its coherence and relevance, as a theory of change within the fields of peace and conflict. It will argue that comprehending any logic of nonviolence requires first understanding the dichotomous meanings of violence, and then comprehending them both (violence and nonviolence) as social phenomena impinging on a search for a relevant and responsive nonviolence theory of change. The goal here is to establish a paradigmatic framework to contextualize the study's objective, identify relevant terms for both violence and nonviolence, and argue that structural violence and conscientious nonviolence are the essential elements for building such a theory, particularly for the fields of peace and conflict theory and practice. Finally, it will make a case for the development of a nonviolence theory of change, and prescribing it as operative praxis for effecting positive and sustainable peace.
