Photon absorption, color detection, and chromatic induction
Creators: name: Peyvandi, Shahram
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Due to the quantum nature of light, when a population of identical photoreceptors in the retina, or identical pixels in a digital sensor, is exposed repeatedly to uniform light, there is both spatial and temporal variation in absorbed light. We have derived the histogram of the expected number of cells absorbing each specific level of energy, the variance of which quantifies the spatial variation in absorption by cells. Moreover, the actual histogram varies across identical trials of exposure. We quantified this temporal variation by the variance of the number of cells at a given energy level, showing that the temporal variation has a unimodal distribution, and is reciprocally related to the spatial variation.     The proposed model predicts that, due, not to higher-order visual mechanisms, but rather to low-level vision and the quantum nature of light, stimulating cone cells with uniform colored light produces a distribution of responses in cone excitation space (rather than a point) and these reproduce MacAdam's (1942) classic measurements of the variability of color matches. We measured the temporal dynamics of human color detection when a target is briefly presented on an equiluminant neutral surround. Our results showed that momentary-produced signals of varying luminance in the adapting field are affected by an instantaneous neuronal mechanism rather than a slow cone adaptation, suggesting that the detection threshold is limited by fluctuations of a Poisson nature in the postreceptoral stage. Our model predicts that the signal to noise ratio in a response channel remains the same, regardless of luminance, so long as the state of equilibrium in this channel is constant.    A neutral disk appears slightly greenish when surrounded by a large red field, illustrating chromatic induction. When observers' heads were placed inside a special ganzfeld apparatus, they saw a 3 degree, physically neutral disk surrounded by a saturated red area that filled the remainder of the visual field and they adjusted the color of the disk to make it appear neutral. We found that chromatic induction increases non-linearly with surround saturation but falls-off with highly saturated surrounds, suggesting two antagonistic processes, an adaptation-related component and an additive process exerted by surround color.

The decline of vocal jazz education in New Jersey’s public schools and the efforts being made to promote its resurgence

Year: 2017

description: The Decline of Vocal Jazz Education in New Jersey’s Public Schools and the Efforts Being Made to Promote Its Resurgence explores possible reasons for the decline in student and teacher interest. This was accomplished through a survey of over two-hundred New Jersey high school vocal music teachers as well as interviews with several professional jazz vocalists, composers, arrangers and clinicians.  The paper also offers up solutions to help stimulate, promote and cultivate a renewed interest in the art form, as well as keep it from fading.  One solution would be to have higher institutions offer more vocal jazz courses for music educators.  Another remedy would be to give more exposure of the genre to vocal students.  In addition, I believe more support is needed from administrations for teachers to attend the annual New Jersey Jazz Conference.  Administrative support is also needed in giving teachers financial support for both vocal jazz clinicians as well as purchasing necessary books and materials offered by these clinicians. This would help teachers become more acquainted with the style of the music in order to give them the confidence to teach the material.

Ourozeuktes bopyroides.— Trilles, 1994: 102.— Poore, 2002: 182.
Type and type locality. Whereabouts the type material for these species remains unknown. The type locality is Australia (as Nouvelle Hollande) (Lesueur, 1814; Poore, 2002).
Remarks. The genus has one monotypic species, the type species of which is Ourozeuktes bopyroides (Lesueur, 1814), other named species are junior synonyms of the type species. Ourozeuktes bopyroides can be identified by the cephalon is small and subtriangular in shape, sunk in a deep notch between the lateral portions of the first thoracic segment; all pleonites fused with the pleotelson.
This species is known only from Acanthaluteres vittiger (Castelnau, 1873) and is the only known flesh burrowing genus species within the family Cymothoidae. White, (1847) is the only Indian record of the species from without host and the specimen deposited in British Museum of Natural History but probably currently lost. As no indication of the locality of the examined specimens, and knowledge that the species is known only from Australia from Acanthaluteres vittiger, the species is excluded from Indian fauna.
Distribution. Known only from Australia (see Poore, 2002).
Host. Ourozeuktes bopyroides (Lesueur, 1814) is only found on leatherjackets Acanthaluteres vittiger from the family Monacanthidae (Hale 1926).

Agarna bengalensis Kumari, Rao & Shaymasundari, 1990: 27 –30, figs 1–3.
Type and type locality. Kumari et al. (1990) collected specimens from Waltair Coast, Andhra Pradesh, India. The authors reported that the holotype male is deposited in the Indian Museum but the detail of the accession number is not available in the original description. The present museum inquiries, at the Indian museum, failed to recover any material for A. bengalensis and it seems that the types were either not submitted or it was lost.
Remarks. Agarna bengalensis Kumari, Rao & Shaymasundari, 1990 was described from Waltair Coast, Andhra Pradesh, India without a host identity. Unfortunately, the original description of this species was very poor and incomplete based on male specimen. Within the Cymothoidae, both generic and species diagnoses are dependent on adult female characters. It is prudent at this stage, therefore, to place Agarna bengalensis Kumari, Rao & Shaymasundari, 1990 into species inquirenda.

Problem solving by scientists and engineers
Creators: name: Sanchez, Fernando
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation asks the following research question: Which boundary spanning mechanisms affect the effective solution of problems under different organizational contexts? I draw upon problem solving and boundary spanning mechanisms literature to shed light on how communities of knowledge cope with a stream of variable and unpredictable problems under different environments. To empirically answer the research question, I focus on the conception and construction of ALMA - the "Atacama Large Millimeter Array", which is the world's largest, most expensive and most sensitive radio telescope array operating at millimeter wavelengths. I rely upon primary data based on interviews and the digital archive of entries in the knowledge-management software used by ALMA personnel to seek out and share knowledge to solve problems. I add to our understanding about how scientists and engineers employ different mechanisms to transfer and create knowledge to solve heterogeneous problems as they emerge.
The effects of tax and expenditure limitations on the fiscal decisions of municipal governments
Creators: name: Rose, Wilson K.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation consists of four essays that introduce tax and expenditure limitations (TELs), examine their effectiveness, identify potential unintended impacts of the TELs, and discuss future beneficial research. TELs impose financial restrictions onto municipalities, however exceptions in these laws allow municipalities to exceed stated thresholds. This creates uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of these laws. This dissertation examines TEL efficacy, in addition to providing insights regarding unintended consequences of these laws. I utilize methodologies which account for the endogenous relationship between TEL enactment and fiscal policy.  The first essay provides background regarding the types of tax and expenditure limitations, their intended effects, and how certain technical aspects of their enactment may allow for circumvention of the stated limits.  In the second essay, I examine how municipal finances are affected by TELs. The main goals of TELs are to reduce the property tax burden of residents and reduce the size of government. I find evidence that property tax burden is reduced following implementation of TELs. However, I do not find strong evidence that expenditures are significantly reduced. Additionally, I do not find consistent evidence of reductions in expenditure growth.  Essay three examines potential unintended consequences of TELs. I find there are potential consequences of these TELs beyond the two main goals of reduced property tax burden and government size reduction. One consequence is a reduced proportion of spending on productive services. In addition, I find evidence that municipalities may anticipate the enactment of the laws and react by increasing the proportion of service expenditures just before the law goes into effect. The negative implication of this anticipation is that accelerated expenditures, if sub optimally funded by debt, could be costly for the municipality in the long term.  The final essay discusses future research that could provide insights regarding methods to help ensure that municipalities effectively implement financial policies under tax and expenditure limits. This essay posits that GAAP reporting standards and high quality audits may aid in limiting TEL limit circumvention. An exploratory examination of the association of GAAP standards and municipal financial decisions is performed.

description: This thesis challenges ideas about gentrification and queer economic power by examining the oral histories of queer women of color who are engaged in entrepreneurial endeavors in the city of Newark, New Jersey. Centering the experiences of black lesbian entrepreneurs complicates the dominant conception of queer market capitalism as a negative where the focus tends to be on the contributions of white gay men and, to a lesser extent, white lesbians. Through the use of oral history as a member of the Queer Newark Oral History Project at Rutgers University, Newark and drawing on the scholarship of historians such as David K. Johnson, Jeffrey Escoffier, Rochella Thorpe, Mark Krasovic, Kath Weston and Lisa B. Rofel, among others I place the contributions of black queer women within the historical context of queer economies and consumerism as well as within Newark’s economic history. Positioned astride these intersecting black, queer, and urban histories, black lesbian entrepreneurs are currently occupying leadership roles within economic networks that challenge the model of gentrification in a city that is experiencing immense economic development. Whether the city’s redevelopment will benefit Newark residents without displacement remains to be seen. Not only are these women shaping a new era of the city’s economic history to be more inclusive, but they are also solidifying a queer culture landscape wherein queer black women are accumulating power amidst the corporate giants rising up around them.
Exploring the importance of social networks in addressing issues of HIV and AIDS in African immigrant communities

Year: 2017

description: Problem: The study examined the role of social networks in influencing access and utilization of healthcare services, and health outcomes in HIV positive immigrants from sub-Saharan Africa. Study hypotheses were: 1) Social networks of SSA immigrants are comprised of higher numbers of strong ties than weak ties; 2) Social networks comprised of weak ties facilitate greater access and utilization of healthcare services, and 3) Higher levels of social integration facilitate positive HIV/AIDS related health outcomes. Qualitative questions examined the types of activities participants engage in with their social networks, types of support systems their networks positive, influence of these activities and support systems on their access to care and health outcomes, and factors promoting engagement of participants in their care.   Methodology: Berkman’s social network paradigm guided the mixed method study using a snowball sample of 97 HIV positive SSA immigrants residing in Philadelphia. Participants completed a survey consisting of a demographic questionnaire and two instruments (Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (2010) and Myer’s Social Network Scale). The qualitative sample comprised of 13 participants who completed the quantitative surveys and were interviewed individually.   Results: Triangulation of findings from both quantitative and qualitative methods revealed that participants’ social networks comprised mostly of strong ties with kin and co-ethnics. Type of network ties and number of connected relationships were significant in accessing and utilizing healthcare services, as well as influencing HIV related health outcomes. Number of strong ties was significantly and positively correlated with CD4 levels. Weak ties were influential in maintaining engagement of participants in their care, access and utilization of healthcare services and understanding their illness.    Conclusion: Social networks structures, including size, density, composition, and function contribute to positive health outcomes. Although participants’ social networks were predominantly comprised of strong ties, both strong and weak ties offered distinct and complementary support with profound influence on both the physical and psychosocial well-being of HIV positive African Sub-Saharan immigrants.

Investigation of a protective behavioral strategies brief alcohol intervention targeting community college students
Creators: name: Rechtman, Lindsay
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Background: Nearly half of all undergraduate college students are enrolled in community colleges; yet, the majority of college student health-related research is focused on four-year college students.  Alcohol use is one such area where community college research is limited.  Research has demonstrated that the use of Protective Behavioral Strategies (PBS) is associated with decreased alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences.  This dissertation examined short-term changes in the use of PBS, as well as changes in alcohol use and alcohol-related negative consequences as a result of a brief in-class intervention.  Methods:  Participants were recruited from select courses at a community college.  Study participants completed a pen and paper administration of several psychometrically-validated survey instruments that contain items specific to alcohol use, PBS use, and alcohol-related negative consequences.  To assess the effects of the intervention, ANCOVA and MANCOVA analyses were conducted.  A series of four regression analyses were conducted to test each of three hypothesized mediation models.   Results: Two hundred six participants were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned by classroom to an intervention (N = 105) or control (N = 101) group; 179 (87%) participants completed the follow-up survey approximately 3 months later.  Analysis of covariance tests did not yield significant differences with respect to overall PBS use, typical number drinks per drinking day, number of heavy drinking days or reported alcohol-related negative consequences between the intervention and control groups at follow-up.  The mediation hypotheses were not supported.    Conclusions: Participation in the brief intervention did not result in statistically significant changes in alcohol consumption and alcohol-related negative consequences at the time of follow-up.  Further in-class brief intervention research needs to be conducted in community colleges to determine the best practices for this setting.
A robust paradigm of finding the maximum tolerated dose in phase I cancer clinical trials with application to IL-21 denenicokin
Creators: name: Young, Tina Chang
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In Phase I oncology trials, the main objective is typically to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), the highest dose of a drug that does not cause unacceptable side effects. The MTD is determined by testing increasing doses on patient cohorts until the highest dose with acceptable side effects is found. To determine the MTD, many different dose escalation designs have been developed, such as the CRM, BLRM, mTPI-2, and BOIN, each of which has improved statistical properties over the traditional A+B class of designs. Yet most published Phase I trials still use a traditional 3+3 design. This dissertation proposes a robust paradigm of conducting Phase I cancer clinical trials that involves simultaneously running multiple designs to obtain a robust MTD. This paradigm will provide more confidence to clinicians and regulators in the selection of the dose for further drug development. The implementation of this paradigm with an application to the IL-21 denenicokin clinical development program is the focus of this dissertation.
Essays on supply chain coordination and optimization
Creators: name: Song, Ju Myung
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: The dissertation comprises of three essays that 1) shipping for online sellers to meet the peak demand, 2) incentives and gaming in collaborative projects, and 3) emergency operations optimization under the demand uncertainty.    The online retailing is changing the landscape of retail industry as Amazon's market cap has recently doubled that of Wal-Mart in the US. Different from brick and mortar, online sellers rely on 3rd party logistics (3PLs) for the delivery of the goods but the hugely spiked demand during holiday seasons (Cyber Monday, Black Friday, Christmas in the US, or Singles day in China) poses a substantial challenge for the 3PLs to deliver on time. To better manage demand, 3PLs such as UPS, require the sellers to make reservation and to pay a surcharge for extra work. In the first essay, we discuss how these shipping arrangements may affect the online sellers' inventory decisions, and how to coordinate the channel for the sellers and shippers to win-win.     In the second essay, we study gaming and incentive issues in collaborative projects. Driven by the needs of technology, finance, and marketing, many projects in diverse industries are moving irreversibly from the “one-firm-does-all” model to outsourcing and collaboration. However, collaborative projects often ran into delays and cost overruns with the Boeing 787 Dreamliner being one of the latest examples. Applying game theoretical models and economics theory of teamwork to project management, we study how the popular risk sharing partnership may change firms’ incentives in project execution and affect project performance in cost and time for various project networks (serial vs. parallel), cost structures (time independent vs. dependent), and information status (symmetry vs. asymmetry).    In the third essay, we study the emergency response operations, which are critical to save humans’ lives and properties after a disaster happens. The limited resources and time requirements call for cooperated supply chain operations. We examine a coordinated production and distribution network for rescue kits in disaster reliefs and develop an optimization model to minimize the total tardiness and peak tardiness over the planning horizon. Proposing to deploy supply chain flexibility to cope with the uncertain demand, we show the effectiveness of increasing supply chain flexibility and suggest some managerial insights on configuring such flexibility in emergency operations.    In this dissertation, the three essays are structured to form a coherent body as described above on the topic of the coordination and optimization of a supply chain considering different ways to achieve it.

Type and type locality. Shyamasundari et al. (1990) stated that the type specimen of Nerocila hemirhamphusi Shyamasundari, Rao & Kumari, 1990 recorded from the Waltair Coast, Andhra Pradesh, India, from Hemiramphus far (Forsskål, 1775). Whereabouts the type material for these species remains unknown.
Remarks. The original description of Nerocila hemirhamphusi is brief and the only illustrations of this species provided by Shyamasundari et al. (1990) show a ventral view of the frontal lamina, the basis of pereopod 7, the pleotelson and uropods. Shyamasundari et al. (1990) stated that “...second coxal plate is small, not extending beyond the posterior border of the segment, the seventh reaches the tip of the first pleon segment and the dorsal surface i3 minutely pitted and the entire body is steel blue in colour”. Shyamasundari et al ’s. (1990) description and drawings of N. hemirhamphusi are similar to the original description and neotype illustrations of N. exocoeti (Pillai 1954; Trilles et al. 2013; Aneesh et al. 2017c). Shyamasundari et al. (1990) did not clearly state where the type material of N. hemirhamphusi is deposited but indicated that it was part of a collection made available to him from the Zoological Survey of India. Attempts to contact the Zoological Survey of India and to obtain this material or determine the whereabouts of the holotype have been unsuccessful. Until the specimens can be located and redescribed, N. hemirhamphusi is regarded as species inquirenda.

The development and implementation of the Access Link Program at New Jersey Transit
Creators: name: Tobin, Brian N.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: In 1992, New Jersey Transit began providing complementary paratransit service in response to a mandate within the groundbreaking Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Access Link serves as an example of a deliberate, comprehensive, locally-minded response to a national civil rights challenge. Through document evaluation and oral interviews, this paper analyzes the requirements, stories, and human factors that were considered in setting policies, determining scope and eligibility, and planning for the future. This is the story of a group of individuals that were determined to do what was right, establish a program that would remain largely unchanged for years to come, and become an example to their peers across the country. The story of the development and the implementation of Access Link is a national story hidden inside of a New Jersey specific world. Understanding the efforts of the few and local to rectify the civil rights problems of a nation can help historians and policy makers understand the importance of inclusion, participation, and citizenship for all. Access Link is a physical representation of that societal change.

Humanizing animals

description: Despite the horse’s central role in the conquest of America and its ongoing importance as a symbol of freedom and independence in the national imagination, innumerable horses—no longer of use—are sold at kill lots every year. However, in recent decades rescues have repurposed these horses for work in law enforcement and in equine therapy programs. Equine therapy programs have been gaining support in America; at the same time, the disproportionate arrests and incarceration of black men has continued to rise._ Equine prison programs produces an evocative situation: two disregarded populations—ex-race horses no longer able to race or mustangs with nowhere to go, and convicts exiled from society—are brought together to “rehabilitate” each other.    The trope of the wild and dangerous black man is ever present, as current events—such as Ferguson, and Black Lives Matter—remind us. Thus this pairing the broken (ex-race horse) or untamed (mustang) non-human animal with that of the transgressive human (prisoner) that is undeniably political. Over the last several years, as tensions between law enforcement and communities of color rose, there has been a call for a re-evaluation of policing strategies. There has been a call for community policing. Horses may be part of bridging the gap between police and civilians.    This essay seeks to unpack the complicated implications of equine prison programs and the role of horses in mounted police units. By focusing on the Newark Mounted Police Unit and the Second Chances Horse Program at the Wallkill Correctional Facility, this dissertation illuminates the ideological underpinnings of attitudes about humans and other animals in the racialized and classed culture in which we live. Finally, this dissertation assesses the impact of these programs and contexts on horses themselves, offering new ways to think about and relate to horses.
