Development and Validation of Perception of Wisdom Exploratory Rating Scale (POWER Scale): An Instrument to Examine Teachers' Perception of Wisdom
Creators: name: Karami, Sareh
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2020
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: With countless problems facing the world, there is an indispensable need for individuals who are able to persist and succeed in generating virtuous actions to meet unsettling eventualities. There have even been successful attempts to deploy specific wisdom-based curricula and then measure the results. Since the possibility for developing wisdom in the classroom exists, teachers’ perceptions of wisdom and the implicit beliefs that influence their ability to cultivate wisdom in their classroom become important to understand. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Perception of Wisdom Exploratory Rating (POWER) Scale based on the Polyhedron Model of Wisdom (PMW). According to PMW, components that characterize wisdom are knowledge; reflectivity and self-regulation; moral maturity; openness and tolerance; sound judgment; creativity; and dynamic balance and synthesis. A total number of 585 responses from in-service and preservice teachers with no missing data was collected. Inservice and preservice samples were randomly split into two halves for Exploratory Factor Analysis (n = 290) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (n = 295). In the EFA, the items ﬁt a seven-factor structure, producing the following subscales: knowledge management; self-regulation; altruism and moral maturity; openness; tolerance; sound judgment and decision making; creative thinking. CFA was performed to test the construct validity of the scale. The model did produce a good fit to the data (χ2/df= 1.67, CFI= .92, TLI= .91, RMSEA= .049, and SRMR= .06). With continued testing and revisions, this instrument could be useful for cross-cultural comparison of perceptions of wisdom and identification of barriers to promoting wisdom instruction. It also could be used to identify and compare, across different populations, educators’ perceptions of wisdom and measuring perceptional changes due to designed interventions.

description: On-time delivery of supplies to industry is essential because delays can disrupt production schedules. The aim of the proposed application is to predict transit times for outbound logistics thereby allowing suppliers to plan for timely mitigation of risks during shipment planning. The predictive model consists of a classifier that is trained for each specific source-destination pair using historical shipment, weather, and social media data. The model estimates the transit times for future shipments using Support Vector Machine (SVM). These estimates were validated using four case study routes of varying distances in the United States. A predictive model is trained for each route. The results show that the contribution of each input feature to the predictive ability of the model varies for each route. The mean average error (MAE) values of the model vary for each route due to the availability of testing and training historical shipment data as well as the availability of weather and social media data. In addition, it was found that the inclusion of the historical traffic data provided by INRIX™ improves the accuracy of the model. Sample INRIX™ data was available for one of the routes. One of the main limitations of the proposed approach is the availability of historical shipment data and the quality of social media data. However, if the data is available, the proposed methodology can be applied to any supplier with high volume shipments in order to develop a predictive model for outbound transit time delays over any land route.

description: Changes in global climate patterns will continue to stress food production and distribution far into the future. In fruits, early ripening, and associated processes such as flesh softening, and starch-to-sugar conversion are major causes of food wastage post-harvest. One means of combatting food wastage, especially in vulnerable crops such as climacteric fruit, is to delay the onset of ripening. Perhaps the most powerful tool for this effort is the 4-carbon gaseous molecule 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), which inhibits perception of the “ripening phytohormone” ethylene. Delaying ripening by 1-MCP treatment allows distributors to extend storage and transportation times and researchers to investigate the molecular physiology of climacteric fruit ripening at increasingly granular levels. However, 1-MCP effects in European pears (Pyrus communis) yield perplexing results, with fruit often failing to ever ripen after treatment. To preserve this valuable chemical treatment tool, research has identified a putative ‘ripening compound’ glyoxylic acid (GLA) as a chemical means of restoring ripening competency in 1-MCP treated winter pear varieties such as ‘D’Anjou’. Physiological investigations reveal that peak ethylene evolution is up to two-fold higher and terminal flesh firmness is lower, on average 1 lbs-force in 1-MCP + 3% (w/v) GLA treated fruit over 1-MCP only fruit. GLA-treated fruit also respire on average 450 µg CO2 kg -1 hr -1 more than their 1-MCP only counterparts in 4oC cold storage though there are no discernable differences in endogenous organic acid pools between the two treatments. Brown necrotic spots visible on GLA-treated fruits are likely due to lipid peroxidation, as the occurance of lipid hydroperoxides is up to 30% higher in GLA-treated fruits. Previous research using 1-MCP treated fruit obtained from packing houses and stored in different stroage conditions than this study has proposed that GLA is metabolized via malate synthase in the glyoxylate pathway. In this study, where precise quantifiable application of 1-MCP was used without prolonged storage, no increase in enzyme activity could be observed in vitro after GLA treatment. Furthermore a novel cost effective method of 1-MCP application is documented allowing for accurate application of the ripening inhibitor for small scale research down to 50 parts per billion.

description: A measurement of the ratio of branching fractions $R$(J/$ψ$) = $\mathcal{B}$(B$^+_\text{c}$ $\to$ J/$ψ$$τ^+ν_τ$) / $\mathcal{B}$(B$^+_\text{c}$ $\to$ J/$ψ$$μ^+ν_μ$) in the J/$ψ$ $\to$ $μ^+μ^-$, $τ^+$ $\to$ $μ^+μ_τ\overlineν_τ$ decay channel is presented. This measurement uses a sample of proton-proton collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment in 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 59.7 fb$^{-1}$. The measured ratio, $R$(J/$ψ$) = 0.17 $^{+ 0.18}_{- 0.17}$ (stat) $^{+ 0.21}_{- 0.22}$ (syst) $^{+ 0.19}_{- 0.18}$ (theo) = 0.17 $\pm$ 0.33, agrees with the value of 0.2582 $\pm$ 0.0038 predicted by the standard model, which assumes lepton flavor universality. By testing lepton flavor universality, this measurement is a probe of new physics using B$^+_\text{c}$ mesons, which are currently only produced at the LHC.

description: We demonstrate that the optical response of twisted photonic bilayers, photonic counterparts of van der Waals structures, is sensitive to both spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light. A beam of unpolarized light with zero angular momentum acquires SAM in transmission and OAM in reflection. The developed analytical theory and numerical calculations show that the SAM and OAM arise from distinct microscopic mechanisms and depend differently on the interlayer distance. The predicted phenomena do not require light absorption and are caused by the photon-helicity-dependent light diffraction by the moiré pattern, which inevitably occurs in the twisted structure, and the SAM-OAM conversion processes. We also reveal strong SAM and OAM in the moiré-diffracted beams. Our findings uncover a profound connection between the emergent SAM and OAM in twisted photonic systems offering new possibilities for angular-momentum-resolved light-matter interactions.

description: Recent advancements in transformers, specifically self-attention mechanisms, have significantly improved hyperspectral image (HSI) classification. However, these models often suffer from inefficiencies, as their computational complexity scales quadratically with sequence length. To address these challenges, we propose the morphological spatial mamba (SMM) and morphological spatial-spectral Mamba (SSMM) model (MorpMamba), which combines the strengths of morphological operations and the state space model framework, offering a more computationally efficient alternative to transformers. In MorpMamba, a novel token generation module first converts HSI patches into spatial-spectral tokens. These tokens are then processed through morphological operations such as erosion and dilation, utilizing depthwise separable convolutions to capture structural and shape information. A token enhancement module refines these features by dynamically adjusting the spatial and spectral tokens based on central HSI regions, ensuring effective feature fusion within each block. Subsequently, multi-head self-attention is applied to further enrich the feature representations, allowing the model to capture complex relationships and dependencies within the data. Finally, the enhanced tokens are fed into a state space module, which efficiently models the temporal evolution of the features for classification. Experimental results on widely used HSI datasets demonstrate that MorpMamba achieves superior parametric efficiency compared to traditional CNN and transformer models while maintaining high accuracy. The code will be made publicly available at \url{https://github.com/mahmad000/MorpMamba}.

protein complex

description: The number of protein assemblies for which detailed structural information is available represents only a small fraction of the protein assemblies in the cell that can be detected. Computational procedures capable of reliably generating structural models of multiprotein assemblies starting from the atomic coordinates of the individual components, the so-called ‘‘docking’’ methods, therefore play an important role in helping to bridge the gap. The Critical Assessment of Predicted Interactions (CAPRI) has been at the fore-front in this endeavor. If a user has experimental structure of macromolecular complex (target structure) available, and has modelled the constituent components  to predict the structure of macromolecular complex using computation methods, the “CAPRI Analyse” server can provide evaluation of the quality of the predicted models. This is the first time users have direct access to the assessment program via a web server.

description: We explore the near adiabatic dynamics in a non-Hermitian quantum many-body system by investigating a finite-time ramp of the imaginary vector potential in the interacting Hatano-Nelson model. The excess energy, the Loschmidt echo, and the density imbalance are analyzed using bosonization and exact diagonalization. The energy becomes complex valued, despite the instantaneous Hamiltonian having the same real spectrum throughout. The adiabatic limit is approached very slowly through damped oscillations. The decay scales with $τ^{-1}$ with $τ$ the ramp duration, while the oscillation period is $2L/v$ with $v$ the Fermi velocity and $L$ the system length. Yet, without the need for auxiliary controls, a shortcut to adiabaticity is found for ramp times commensurate with the period. Our work highlights the intricate interplay of adiabaticity and non-Hermitian many-body physics.

Electronic Fabry-Perot Interferometry of Quantum Hall Edge States

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School

Subjects: Condensed matter physics not elsewhere classified

description: Two-dimensional electron systems in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures have provided a platform for investigating numerous phenomena in condensed matter physics. The quantum Hall effect is a particularly remarkable phenomenon due to its topological properties, including chiral edge states with quantized conductance. This report describes progress made in interference measurements of these edge states in electronic Fabry-Perot interferometers. Previous interference experiments in the quantum Hall regime have been stymied by Coulomb charging effects and poor quantum coherence. These Coulomb charging effects have been dramatically suppressed by the implementation of a novel GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure which utilizes auxiliary screening wells in addition to the primary GaAs quantum well. Using this heterostructure, Aharonov-Bohm interference is measured in very small devices which have greatly improved coherence. Robust Aharonov-Bohm interference is reported at fractional quantum Hall states nu = 1/3 and nu = 2/3. Discrete jumps in phase at nu = 1/3 consistent with anyonic braiding statistics are observed. The report concludes with proposed future experiments, including extending these results to possible non-Abelian quantum Hall states.

description: We have identified two projects for prototyping which are useful in the structural biology domain and also acts as a prototype for future work, demonstrating a particular Big Data technology and providing some initial useful functionality. The first uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods applied to the structural biology literature to identify some information that is not currently incorporated into databases: structural annotations on specific residues within proteins. The software created by this pilot project is an open source software package, pyresid, written in the Python programming language. Using it, annotations will be made to all past papers with known links to entries in the Protein Data Bank. These annotations are available in EuropePMC. For the second prototype, we looked at the use of Convolutional Neural Networks for distinguishing between protein and noise in cryoEM maps. Python scripts for generating input data from structural biology data for the machine learning, and for creating and training a model, are made available. While this serves as a useful prototype, further cleaning of the input data and better training of the model are still required.

description: Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) was originally proposed to model galaxy rotation curves without dark matter. However, MOND presents difficulties in explaining the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) observed in galaxy clusters, and moreover, it does not completely eliminate the need for dark matter, since it requires using non-luminous particles (e.g. cold molecular gas or durst, or neutrinos) to explain the observed hydrostatic equilibrium of the hot gas. Hyperconical Modified Gravity (HMG) offers a relativistic framework that recovers the success of MOND in galaxy rotation curves as a natural particular case, and it could potentially reconcile the above discrepancies without invoking any type of dark matter. This Letter analyses the performance of the HMG model for hydrostatic equilibrium in 12 X-COP galaxy clusters, with a special focus on five objects with available complete stellar mass information: A1795, A2029, A2142, A2319 and A644. Specifically, we used high-resolution X-ray data with which gas density and mass profiles were previously derived to constrain modified gravity models. Our results show that the hydrostatic equilibrium of analysed cluster gas is more naturally adjusted to the HMG model beyond 500 kpc without the need to fit parameters, but further research is required to expand to more spatial scales.

description: Intellectual Property (IP) illegal copying is a major threat in today’s integrated circuits industry which is massively based on a design-and-reuse paradigm. In order to fight this threat, a designer must track how many times an IP has been instantiated. Moreover, illegal copies of an IP must be unusable. We propose a hardware/software scheme which allows a designer to remotely activate an IP with minimal area overhead. The software modifies the IP efficiently and can handle very large netlists. Unique identification of hardware instances is achieved by integrating a TERO-PUF along with a lightweight key reconciliation module. A cryptographic core guarantees security and triggers a logic locking/masking module which makes the IP unusable unless the correct encrypted activation word is applied. The hardware side is implemented on several FPGAs.

description: This paper deals with the cyclical relationship between classroom management and student learning and student learning and student behavior. It discusses disruptions in the middle to high school classrooms by students with emotional and other behavioral challenges, the negative impact on learning and acquiring academic skills posed by the challenges of these students, and interventions that could influence a positive change in the behavior of these students. It studies the intervention of the flash pass. It hypothesizes that built into the strategy of the flash pass may be its own potential of disruption since its use may be abused by the students.   
It deals with four important points:
(a)	the importance of behavioral interventions
(b)	definitions of types of disruptive behaviors
(c)	 explanations of types of mental challenges and the disruption associated with them
(d)	Interventions for improving classroom behavior
The research is data-driven. Data of a male and a female student high school student who attend and are treated in a private residential treatment facility in Baltimore, Maryland were collected and analyzed. Findings were that the flash pass, used as an intervention in this setting, yields no significant positive results.

description: Despite advances in healthcare, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States. Elevated levels of plasma cholesterol are highly predictive of CVD and stroke and are the principal driver of atherosclerosis. Unfortunately, current cholesterol lowering agents, such as statins, are not known to reverse atherosclerotic disease once it has been established. In preclinical models, agonists of nuclear receptor, LXR, have been shown to reduce and reverse atherosclerosis. Phytosterols are bioactive non-cholesterol sterols that act as LXR agonists and regulate cholesterol metabolism and transport. We hypothesize that stigmasterol would act as an LXR agonist and alter intestinal cholesterol secretion to promote cholesterol elimination. Mice were fed a control diet, or a diet supplemented with stigmasterol (0.3% w/w) or T0901317 (0.015% w/w), a known LXR agonist. In this experiment we analyzed the sterol content of bile, intestinal perfusate, plasma, and feces. Additionally, the liver and small intestine were analyzed for relative levels of transcripts known to be regulated by LXR. We observed that T0901317 robustly promoted cholesterol elimination and acted as a strong LXR agonist. Stigmasterol also promoted cholesterol elimination but did not alter LXR-dependent gene expression. Stigmasterol promoted transintestinal cholesterol secretion through an LXR-independent pathway.

description: We study observational signatures of the hadron-quark crossover in binary-neutron-star mergers by numerical-relativity simulations with various mass configurations. We employ two equations of state (EoSs) for matter consistent with inference from the observational data. In the crossover scenario the EoS is softened in a density realized in binary-neutron-star mergers and is smoothly continued to quark matter. In the phase transition scenario without crossover, the EoS remains stiff and a first-order phase transition takes place in a density out of reach of mergers. A GW170817-like system forms a remnant massive neutron star in both scenarios, and it collapses into a black hole only in the crossover scenario due to the softening while gravitational-wave emission is strong. This difference is clearly reflected in the sudden shutdown of gravitational waves. For a given EoS, the lifetime of the merger remnant is determined primarily by the total mass of the system. Identifying these features in a variety of future events with the next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will enable us to clarify details of hadron-quark transition. The mass of the accretion disk surrounding the remnant black hole is affected not only by the lifetime of the remnant but also by the mass ratio of the system. Electromagnetic emission associated with the disk outflow will also be useful for detailed investigation of the hadron-quark transition.

description: Multiphase fields find wide applications in the fields of combustion, sprays, turbomachinery, heating and cooling systems, blasts, energetic materials, and several more areas of engineering interest. As the efficiency and performance of these systems depend heavily on the underlying multiphase field, studying their intricate structural features becomes important. The current study follows the development of a three-dimensional Wide-Angle Relay Plenoptic (WARP) imaging system with two image quadruplers for the tomographic imaging of multiphase fields. 3D printed targets were used to simulate both semi-transparent as well as opaque particle fields to emulate multiphase systems. Tomographic reconstruction of the targets was performed using the iterative MART reconstruction algorithm in a commercial image processing software. Reconstructions were performed at different angular separations between the cameras as well as for varied separation distance between the object and the imaging system. Quantitative analysis of the reconstruction quality of the developed system was performed to study the effectiveness and accuracy of this system in imaging multiphase fields. The effect of varying different system parameters on reconstruction quality has been studied to evaluate the best system configuration for imaging multiphase fields.

description: We point out that although a litany of studies have been published on atoms in hard-wall confinement, they have not been systematic or have not used robust numerical methods. We report a methodical study of atoms in hard-wall confinement employing a robust finite element method (FEM) in HelFEM that guarantees variational results and allows easily finding the numerically exact solution. Our fully numerical calculations are non-relativistic and are carried out at three levels of density functional theory with spherically averaged densities: the PW92, PBE, and r$^2$SCAN functionals. The three are in excellent agreement, confirming the physicality of our results.
 We systematically examine low lying configurations of the H-Xe atoms and their monocations, and investigate how the configurations - especially the ground state - behave as a function of the position of the hard-wall boundary. We consider both spin-polarized as well as spin-restricted densities, and demonstrate that spin-polarization effects are significant in open shell configurations, even though some previous studies have only considered the spin-restricted model.
 We demonstrate the importance of considering ground state changes for confined atoms by computing the ionization radii for the H-Xe atoms and observe significant differences to earlier studies.
 Confirming previous observations, we identify electron shifts on the outermost shells for a majority of the elements: valence $s$ electrons are highly unfavored under strong confinement, and the high-lying $3d$ and $4f$ orbitals become occupied in atoms of periods 2-3 and 3-4, respectively.
 We also comment on deficiencies of a commonly used density based estimate for the van der Waals (vdW) radius of atoms, and propose a better behaved variant in terms of the number of electrons outside the vdW radius that we expect will prove useful in future studies.

description: Robotic industries are growing faster than in any other era with the demand and rise of in home robots or assisted robots. Such a robot should be able to navigate between different rooms in the house autonomously. For autonomous navigation, the robot needs to build a map of the surrounding unknown environment and localize itself within the map. For home robots, distinguishing between different rooms improves the functionality of the robot. In this research, Simultaneously Localization And Mapping (SLAM) utilizing a LiDAR sensor is used to construct the environment map. LiDAR is more accurate and not sensitive to light intensity compared to vision. The SLAM method used is Gmapping to create a map of the environment. Gmapping is one of the robust and user-friendly packages in the Robotic Operating System (ROS), which creates a more accurate map, and requires less computational power. The constructed map is then used for room categorization using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Since CNN is one of the powerful techniques to classify the rooms based on the generated 2D map images. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, simulations and experiments are designed and performed on campus and an apartment environment. The results indicate the Gmapping provides an accurate map. Each room used in the experimental design, undergoes training by using the Convolutional Neural Network with a data set of different apartment maps, to classify the room that was mapped using Gmapping. The room categorization results are compared with other approaches in the literature using the same data set to indicate the performance. The classification results show the applicability of using CNN for room categorization for applications such as assisted robots.

description: The aim of this paper is to study the existence of eigenvalues in the gap of the essential spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac operator in the presence of a bounded potential. We employ a generalized variational principle to prove existence of such eigenvalues, estimate how many eigenvalues there are, and give upper and lower bounds for them.

description: Embedding theorems for symmetric functions without zero boundary condition have been studied on flat Riemannian manifolds, such as the Euclidean space. However, these theorems have only been established on hyperbolic spaces for functions with zero boundary condition. In this work, we focus on sharp Sobolev and Adams-Trudinger-Moser embeddings for radial functions in hyperbolic spaces, considering both bounded and unbounded domains. One of the main features of our approach is that we do not assume boundary zero condition for symmetric functions on geodesic balls or the entire hyperbolic space. Our main results include Theorems 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, which establish weighted Sobolev embedding theorems, and Theorems 1.5 together with 1.6, which present Adams-Trudinger-Moser type of embedding theorems. In particular, a key result is Theorem 1.1 which is a highly nontrivial comparison result between norms of the higher order covariant derivatives and higher order derivatives of the radial functions. Higher order asymptotic behavior of radial functions on hyperbolic spaces are established to prove our main theorems. This approach includes novel radial lemmata and decay properties of higher order radial Sobolev functions defined in hyperbolic space.

description: This study investigated the effect of organizational culture on firm performance in the restaurant industry. Despite the importance of organizational culture in the organizational functioning, empirical evidence for the organizational culture-performance relationship remains fragmented. The inconsistency in the literature was aroused from a lack of theoretical development, a negligence of industry-specific factors, a small sampling issue, and a lack of longitudinal examination. Therefore, this study proposed to use text analysis in measuring organizational culture and examined the organizational culture-restaurant performance with a consideration of moderating effect of service orientation, franchising, and economic condition. This study found that different organizational culture influences restaurant performance differently. Specifically, the result of this study reveals that: clan culture immediately increases restaurant productivity; adhocracy culture decreases restaurant growth; and hierarchy immediately decreases restaurant productivity. In terms of moderating role of service orientation, this study found that: that tangible service orientation positively moderates both hierarchy culture-profitability and hierarchy culture-productivity relationships. This result implies that tangible service orientation works better with the hierarchy culture in improving restaurant performance than intangible service orientation. As for the moderating effect of franchising on the organizational culture-performance relationship, this study found that franchising positively moderates the clan culture-profitability relationship and the clan culture-productivity relationship. This result implies that operational and economic benefit of franchising could be passed on to create synergetic effect with the clan culture and maximize the positive clan-productivity relationship while offset the clan-profitability relationship. Last, this study found that recession positively moderates the hierarchy culture-profitability relationship and the hierarchy culture-productivity relationship. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature by: providing logical link between the organizational culture and firm performance; providing empirical evidence that reveals the performance implication of the organizational culture; and by using alternative organizational culture measurements based on text analysis of firms’ 10K filings. Practically, this study offers insightful implications for industry professionals in understanding the effect of organizational culture on restaurant performance.
