Subjects: subject: American
subject: Exceptionalism
subject: Government
subject: Democracy

description: Significant political events such as the fall of the Soviet Union and the opening of the Communist eastern bloc have ushered in the current era, which has captivated the global audience's study of American Exceptionalism. Despite, America's favorable position among the nations of the world, the domestic battle over what the role of government is presents a significant challenge. The topic of economic fairness has grabbed headlines around the country and has been a contributing factor to this challenge. The 2012 presidential election will provide American voters the opportunity to select a new domestic and international leader. In his ASNE speech, President Obama said, "I can't remember a time when the choice between competing visions of our future has been so unambiguously clear." That's correct. Obama's challenge is to make sure that American voters understand this. in the 2012 presidential election the central issue must be economic fairness. I will support my thesis by showing that the greatest threat to American Exceptionalism is manifested in the growing conflict over the role of government. A general review of Karl Marx and Max Weber's social economic theories will establish the foundation for discussions regarding American Exceptionalism (why democratic capitalism thrived and socialism failed). Next, a detailed analysis of FDR and the New Deal will provide the reader insight into the true conflict that has come to dominate American politics: Is the purpose of American government to be an agent of economic empowerment or dependency? Final commentary will explore the risks to American Exceptionalism if this conflict continues to become more divisive.

description: In this edition of Digital Campus, Tom, Dan, and Mills (Amanda was on a beach somewhere when we were recording) ventured into strange and wild paths of the Internet previously unknown to us, thereby proving that we are, indeed, old in Internet years. After years of talking about Google, Apple, Facebook, and Wikipedia, we set aside those old school web platforms to examine Pinterest and Tumblr. How might humanists, archivists, librarians, and museum professionals make good use of these sites that had (largely) been off our radar all this time? And we wondered whether the fact that traffic on Pinterest now rivals that on Twitter and the growing evidence that young people are moving away from Facebook to services like Tumblr might mean that those of us in the digital humanities ought to be taking a much closer look at how to best utilize these platforms. We also took a look at the 2012 Digital Humanities Award winners and offered up a few favorites from among the many worthy winners and runners up for those awards.

description: Camera trapping has become an increasingly widespread tool for wildlife ecologists, with large numbers of studies relying on photo capture rates or presence/absence information. It is increasingly clear that camera placement can directly impact this kind of data, yet these biases are poorly understood. We used a paired camera design to investigate the effect of small-scale habitat features on species richness estimates, and capture rate and detection probability of several mammal species in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, USA. Cameras were deployed at either log features or on game trails with a paired camera at a nearby random location. Overall capture rates were significantly higher at trail and log cameras compared to their paired random cameras, and some species showed capture rates as much as 9.7 times greater at feature-based cameras. We recorded more species at both log (17) and trail features (15) than at their paired control cameras (13 and 12 species, respectively), yet richness estimates were indistinguishable after 659 and 385 camera nights of survey effort, respectively. We detected significant increases (ranging from 11–33%) in detection probability for five species resulting from the presence of game trails. For six species detection probability was also influenced by the presence of a log feature. This bias was most pronounced for the three rodents investigated, where in all cases detection probability was substantially higher (24.9–38.2%) at log cameras. Our results indicate that small-scale factors, including the presence of game trails and other features, can have significant impacts on species detection when camera traps are employed. Significant biases may result if the presence and quality of these features are not documented and either incorporated into analytical procedures, or controlled for in study design.

description: A traditionally hard-to-reach population, Filipino men living with HIV (FMLWH) 
are visible on Twitter (now X), offering a unique window into their communicative 
practices. This online ethnography analysed Twittering as a communicative genre, as 
enacted by FMLWH. Primarily drawing on Lomborg’s (2014) functional-pragmatic 
approach to genre, the analysis focused on user composition, content, style, and pragmatic 
function. Three studies were conducted via a multiphase sequential mixed-methods design. 
The research employed a palette of methods, including social network analysis, cluster 
analysis, technobiography, social media elicitation, corpus linguistics, and content analysis.
Analysis of 1,447 public accounts revealed an expansive network comprising 
302,934 follows and 20,996 @mentions. Both connection and conversation networks 
showed low density, moderate to high reciprocity, and short degrees of separation between 
actors. While Twitter bios highlighted HIV identities, tweets covered a diverse range of 
topics and functions, indicating that Twittering extended beyond the discussion of HIV.
Brevity, informality, and playfulness were the stylistic hallmarks of Twitter content 
produced by FMLWH.
Ultimately, Twittering fostered self-expression, community, and sexual reclamation 
among FMLWH, showing that their communicative practices were fundamentally rooted 
in the pursuit of freedom. Quoting one participant: “We created this account to be free.”

subject: Poesía

description: Esta tesis está basada en el análisis literario de la obra poética de Gloria Fuertes y la forma en que ella se retrata a sí misma. A través de sus versos se puede percibir el carácter y las experiencias vitales de la autora, quien pone de manifiesto su largo peregrinar, desde sus hábitos y costumbres, pasando por sus sufrimientos y dolores, hasta llegar al final de su vida, a la que arriba llena de recuerdos y soledad, en busca de una identidad que no logra encontrar. La poeta vive su infancia en uno de los más turbulentos periodos bélicos de España, la Guerra Civil (1936-1939), así como otro tan cruel y negativo para la castigada sociedad española: la postguerra y sus efectos que cercenaron, principalmente, los derechos de los ciudadanos, las necesidades básicas y sus libertades. En el año 1975 fallece el dictador Francisco Franco y la política de España experimenta un giro hacia la democracia. Los condicionantes familiares de la poeta en la primera década de su vida, así como los acontecimientos políticos, militares y sociales, en los siguientes años, dejan en Fuertes una huella indeleble que viaja con ella hasta la muerte, dándole profundidad a esas, aparentemente, superficiales palabras, pero con una carga sentimental y emotiva extraordinaria, rebelándose contra lo que ve y sabe injusto. Lacan, con su teoría sobre el espejo; Lejeune, con la de la autobiografía y el pacto biográfico; Derrida con el desarrollo teórico sobre la desconstrucción y Freud revolucionando la psicología con sus descubrimientos sobre el narcisismo y su aporte en la interpretación de los sueños, entre otros, han proporcionado el pilar en el que he podido concluir que la poeta nació, vivió y murió sin haber encontrado la respuesta que siempre buscó: “la verdadera Gloria Fuertes”. Mujer de inimaginables contrastes, de voz quebrada por la nicotina, de una generosidad más que loable y poseedora de una sabiduría especial con la que, a través de su obra sencilla y, a decir de algunos, burlesca, flirtea con el lector llevándole al terreno poético que ella domina magistralmente.

description: Proprioception, the internal sense of where your body parts are relative to each other, is essential for many, particularly bimanual, daily activities. Unfortunately, because modern prosthetics lacks this sense it is often difficult or impossible to perform hand-eye coordination tasks with them, and thus upper extremity prosthetics can become a nuisance or burden amputees frequently abandon at home (Biddiss & Chau, 2007). Towards creating a naturally-functional prosthetic able to provide proprioception, this project aims to compare computational models of muscle spindle afferents, using experimental data, in hopes that the best computational model could later be used to predict what voltages should be provided to which afferent nerves in a residual limb.Two muscle spindle models were compared using experimentally-measured afferent and muscle length data digitally extracted from figures in 10 articles. Data was from cats and humans. Both models implement the same formulas in either MATLAB or Python, take muscle length as an input, and can provide primary and/or secondary afferent output. Comparing the experimentally-measured and the predicted afferents, the more recent, Python model was found to provide more accurate afferent output.

title: Molecular and Functional Analysis of Age and Sex Differences in Nicotine-induced Cellular Signaling and Synaptic Plasticity
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Nicotine addiction is the most common form of chemical dependence in the United States and leads to almost 500,000 deaths each year. Adolescents and females have been shown to be particularly vulnerable to the addictive properties of nicotine and other drugs. We measured multiple proteins and phosphorylation events involved in drug addiction and synaptic plasticity in three brain areas closely linked to drug addiction: the ventral striatum (VS), ventral tegmentum (VT), and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). We found sex- and age-dependent CDK5 signaling, including lower levels of p25 in adult females, particularly in the VS. This has important implications for synaptic plasticity and drug addiction. A single nicotine injection (as a model of the first reaction to nicotine), caused a larger increase in VS BDNF signaling in adolescent than in adults. Conversely, we found that both single and repeated nicotine injections (the latter as a model of nicotine dependence) caused adolescent-specific increases in DARPP-32 Thr34 phosphorylation (which would increase cyclic AMP signaling). We also found decreases in VS GLUR1 phosphorylation (which would reduce the strength of glutamatergic signaling). In the VT, a single nicotine injection caused a female-specific increase in GLUR1 phosphorylation and BDNF signaling. Repeated nicotine injections caused an adolescent-specific increase in VT DARPP-32 Thr34 phosphorylation. In the mPFC, repeated nicotine injections caused an adolescent specific decrease in BDNF signaling, as well as a female-specific decrease in the inferred CDK5 activity. Due to the importance of the CDK5 regulator p25 in a form of synaptic plasticity known as "long-term depression” (LTD), and the low production of p25 in adult females, we measured the magnitude of LTD in the core of the nucleus accumbens. We found a significant deficit in LTD specifically during proestrus in females (the time of peak estrogen levels), compared to males and estrus females. Moreover, we found p25 levels were significantly lower in proestrus females than estrus females or ovariectomized females. We present a proposed molecular mechanism for this hormonal effect on LTD in the nucleus accumbens, which is a key step in the physiology of drug addiction. More broadly, our results show an adolescent-specific response to nicotine in the VS, but a female-specific response to nicotine in the VT. These responses would increase the vulnerability of adolescents and females, respectively, to nicotine dependence.

description: This thesis argues that a positive reading of mysticism in the writings of Søren Kierkegaard is possible. I argue that mysticism is capable of the same transfiguration as the aesthetic within Kierkegaard’s thought. Since mysticism is an open and fluid concept and the ethical in Kierkegaard has multiple meanings, I establish the meaning of the mystical in dialogue with William James’ Varieties of Religious. This is followed by a brief description of the various ways the ethical is defined in Kierkegaard, and I established the uniting theme between them all. Through an analysis of Kierkegaard’s Either/Or Part II and The Book on Adler, I establish resonances across Kierkegaard’s corpus that demonstrate that the mystical, like the aesthetic, is made complete and transfigured by the ethical.

description: Nitrogen is widely recognized as a chronic urban stormwater pollutant. In the United States, wet retention ponds have become widely used to treat urban runoff for quantity and quality. While wet ponds typically function well for the removal of sediments, nitrogen removal, performance can be inconsistent due to poor design and/or lack of maintenance. Retrofitting ponds to improve their nitrogen capture performance, however, is often expensive. By hydroponically growing macrophytes on wet ponds, floating treatment wetlands (FTW) may provide a cheap, sustainable means of improving nitrogen removal efficiency of aging stormwater ponds. Few studies have been performed on the effectiveness real-world stormwater systems, however. In this study, we investigated the nitrogen and sediment capture performance of a 50 m2 floating treatment wetland deployed for 137 days on a stormwater wet pond located within an urban university campus near Washington, D.C. A total of 2684 g of biomass was produced, 3100 g of sediment captured, and 191 g of nitrogen removed from the pond. Although biomass production was relatively low (53 g/m2), we found that nitrogen uptake by the plants (0.009 g/m2/day) was comparable to contemporary FTW studies.

description: In Keep You Always the protagonist and narrator, Mason Sykora, is an aspiring poet longing to escape Midwest confinement by moving to New York City with his friend Asher Rose. When Mason drunkenly sees a young woman named Stella Young, ambition conflicts with romance. Eventually, Mason arrives in Manhattan and is forced to confront failure, isolation, and addiction. After Stella reenters Mason’s life, the couple lives together in Wisconsin. But, jealousy and routine push Mason and Asher to adventures in Southeast Asia. The novel is a stream-of-conscious narrative that uniquely blends multiple writing styles to showcase how much our actions and decisions influence relationships. Through an eclectic cast of friends, strangers, and family, as well as multiple settings like Minneapolis, Manhattan, Seoul, and Siem Reap, the novel’s use of intertextuality and honest prose make Mason’s self-destructive journey the reader’s own. The result is an exploration of young adults, contemporary America, and literary experimentation.

Subjects: subject: Hardware security
subject: STT-LUT
subject: Obfuscation
subject: SAT

description: Logic locking and Integrated Circuit (IC) camouflaging are the most prevalent protection schemes that significantly thwart security threats, such as Intellectual Property (IP) piracy, hardware Trojans, reverse engineering, counterfeiting, and overproduction. However, the state-of-the-art attacks, including Boolean Satisfiability (SAT), Signal Probability Skew (SPS), and approximate-based attacks demonstrate the lack of having a comprehensive powerful defense scheme. Recent obfuscation schemes have employed reconfigurable logics, such as Look-up-Tables (LUTs) to prevent reverse engineering. However, existing LUT-based approaches focus on only a specific design factor such as replacement strategy or optimization metric such as SAT-hardness. In this work, we study all proposed state-of-the art hardware obfuscation and attacks and forms a rationale for studying the LUT based obfuscation technique. We then propose a comprehensive analysis on LUT-based obfuscation based on all substantial metrics that have considerable impact on design criteria, i.e. Power/Performance/Area (PPA) and Security (PPA/S). We performed a large design-for-security space exploration using four crucial factors for LUT-based obfuscation which has remarkable effect on PPA and security, namely (1) LUT technology, (2) LUT size, (3) number of LUTs, and (4) replacement strategy. Among these design parameters, the size of LUT is identified to have the most impact on making the obfuscation SAT resilient even for a weak random replacement strategy. A smarter replacement strategy helps to reduce the reliance on using large LUT to achieve SAT resiliency. Moreover, we found that while a clear trade-off exists between SAT resiliency, area and power overhead of LUT-based obfuscation, the delay trade-off can be substantially eliminated by using our proposed iterative security-driven design method which is non-disruptive to current standard ASIC design flow. Our experimental results indicate that for the studied designs, less than two iterations are sufficient to enhance the PPA/S along with eliminating the delay overhead with the proposed iterative security-driven PPA optimization. Our empirical results further demonstrate that increasing the size of LUTs from 2 to 8 provides SAT-resiliency with only less than 1% of gates replaced with LUTs.

title: Machine Learning for Student Modeling and Forecasting
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Higher educational institutions face major challenges including timely graduation and retention of enrolled students. The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reports that the six-year graduation rate for first-time and full-time undergraduates is around 60%; the retention rate among first-time and full-time degree-seeking students is around 80%. These alarming statistics require higher educational institutions to take actions to improve their effectiveness and efficiency at educating students. Educational data mining technologies for academic trajectory and degree planning, course recommender systems, early warning and advising seek to improve student success. The foundation of these systems is student modeling and forecasting. However, developing appropriate and accurate predictive models for modeling students is a non-trivial problem due to several challenges. The first challenge is that a student’s learning is influenced by many factors such as motivation, affect and identify. It is further compounded by the fact that learning is a reflection of cognition which is not a simple process. Students can also choose to take courses in different sequences at different pace. The second challenge is that degree programs exhibit complex knowledge dependence between courses. When it comes to decision making, machine learning has its shortcomings in terms of predictive reliability and interpretability. A reliable model is able to express its prediction confidence so that human decision-makers can know when the predictions are trustworthy. Interpretable models can provide explanations for predictions and decision-makers can use the explanations to guide their decisions. Recently, several concerns have emerged about the fairness of using machine learning models. A biased predictive model may negatively influence subgroups of the larger population. For example, in the educational setting, models unfairly predicting a particular group of students to be at a higher risk of failure can discourage them from pursuing their degree pathway. In this thesis, we develop novel and accurate machine learning models for student modeling and forecasting. Specifically, we develop sequential and graph machine learning models to model students' learning processes and predict their academic performance. Towards informed decision making, we develop Bayesian deep learning models to quantify uncertainty. We also propose a metric-free individual fairness formalization and develop two fair machine learning models using neural classifiers and gradient contextual bandits for mitigating unfairness in these predictive models.

description: N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm)-based, bait-loaded hydrogel particles are successfully used to capture, sequester and protect from enzymatic degradation low abundance, low molecular weight labile proteins in body fluids. In current protocols, proteins captured by the nanoparticles are eluted with chemical buffers and analyzed with immunoassays or mass spectrometry techniques. Here, a novel, in situ ELISA is presented in which captured proteins are probed with a labeling antibody directly inside the nanoparticles without the need of chemical elution. Dually crosslinked (degradable N,N’-(1,2-Dih ydroxyethylene)- bisacrylamide [DHEA] and nondegradable N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) BIS] crosslinkers) NIPAm particles functionalized with trypan blue were used. DHEA can be degraded by an oxidizing agent (e.g. NaIO4) thus increasing the pore size of the hydrogel nanoparticles and allowing the antibody to access the antigen previously trapped in the nanoparticle. Interleukin 6 (IL6) was chosen as a model molecule to test the nanoparticle based ELISA. IL-6 is a protein associated with preeclampsia, an autoimmune, hypertensive pregnancy-related medical problem that can lead to serious complications that can be life threatening to mother and child. Dually crosslinked NIPAm particles efficiently sequestered IL6 from human urine. Oxidative degradation of DHEA crosslinker by NaIO4, caused a partial erosion of the DHEA crosslinker resulting in loose network of hydrogel polymer and increased access of antibody to the captured IL6 protein. Captured IL6 was preserved from oxidative degradation by virtue of the interaction between the protein and trypan blue chemical bait. The IL6 ELISA, based on these dually cross linked NIPAm particles, showed a limit of detection of 600 picograms and two orders of magnitude dynamic range. Coefficient of variations was constantly below 5%. Sensitivity of the test can be improved by increasing the volume of urine processed. It is anticipated that this technology can be successfully used to detect true positive preeclamptic patients from a group of gestational hypertensive population.

description: AbstractThis article aims to shed light on the role of prospective memory in enhancing cognitive performance and quality of life, with a focus on the cognitive mechanisms and theoretical hypotheses underlying this process. The article proposes that prospective memory consists in the ability to envision and plan prospective events, which is a complex interface between episodic memory and executive functions such as planning, working memory, and inhibition. This interplay positions prospective memory as a pivotal factor in strengthening prospective memory. This will open new avenues for a deeper understanding and broader applications of prospective memory findings in the fields of applied psychology and practical life.

Subjects: subject: Conflict Management and Resolution; Conflict Prevention and Early Warning; Preventive Diplomacy

description: This study is a comprehensive review of 18 specific conflict prevention interventions carried out by one of the four large international organizations—the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Organization of American States (OAS), and the Commonwealth of Nations—between 1990 and 2015. With recognition of this diversity, the analysis sought to uncover and understand patterns that would provide additional evidence on how to prevent future wars and violent conflict. Based on the research findings Dr. Tadevosyan developed a targeted list of recommendations that can help intervening organizations to maximize their impact in preventing the outbreak of deadly violence. Recognizing that conflict prevention is an established field both in academic and policy circles, this study provides additional evidence on how conflict prevention can be strengthened and further reinforced by engaging in a systematic analysis of previous cases of preventive engagement by international organizations. The goal of the research was to understand why and how certain interventions led by different international organizations were able to prevent the outbreak of violence and large-scale war and halt the spread of hostilities.

description: Breast cancer is the main cause of death among young women in developing countries. The human body temperature carries critical medical information related to the overall body status. Abnormal rise in total and regional body temperature is a natural symptom in diagnosing many diseases. Thermal imaging (Thermography) utilizes infrared beams which are fast, non-invasive, and non-contact and the output created images by this technique are flexible and useful to monitor the temperature of the human body. In some clinical studies and biopsy tests, it is necessary for the clinician to know the extent of the cancerous area. In such cases, the thermal image is very useful. In the same line, to detect the cancerous tissue core, thermal imaging is beneficial. This paper presents a fully automated approach to detect the thermal edge and core of the cancerous area in thermography images. In order to evaluate the proposed method, 60 patients with an average age of 44/9 were chosen. These cases were suspected of breast tissue disease. These patients referred to Tehran Imam Khomeini Imaging Center. Clinical examinations such as ultrasound, biopsy, questionnaire, and eventually thermography were done precisely on these individuals. Finally, the proposed model is applied for segmenting the proved abnormal area in thermal images. The proposed model is based on a fuzzy active contour designed by fuzzy logic. The presented method can segment cancerous tissue areas from its borders in thermal images of the breast area. In order to evaluate the proposed algorithm, Hausdorff and mean distance between manual and automatic method were used. Estimation of distance was conducted to accurately separate the thermal core and edge. Hausdorff distance between the proposed and the manual method for thermal core and edge was 0.4719 ± 0.4389, 0.3171 ± 0.1056 mm respectively, and the average distance between the proposed and the manual method for core and thermal edge was 0.0845 ± 0.0619, 0.0710 ± 0.0381 mm respectively. Furthermore, the sensitivity in recognizing the thermal pattern in breast tissue masses is 85 % and its accuracy is 91.98 %.A thermal imaging system has been proposed that is able to recognize abnormal breast tissue masses. This system utilizes fuzzy active contours to extract the abnormal regions automatically.

description: In the aftermath of a civil war or genocide, some non-governmental organizations (NGOs), peace educators, post-conflict development practitioners, and governments believe in the healing power of providing all school-age children and young people with equal access to formal education. Under these circumstances, education is perceived as a peace-building and life-saving protection mechanism. Education for all, according to advocates, can also contribute to the reconstruction of nations torn apart by identity-based conflicts. The post-genocide government of Rwanda has looked to formal education as a peace-building tool in their national reconstruction. As such, they have prioritized the rebuilding of their national education system in order to fight poverty, combat prejudice, and, most importantly, build national unity amongst Rwanda’s three major ethnic groups in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide and civil war. This thesis utilizes archival research and theories supported from the fields of conflict analysis and resolution and peace studies. This exploratory study presents the case in favor of the educational reconstruction process in post-genocide Rwanda, under specific conditions. Educational reconstruction is interpreted as a peace-building mechanism, due to its capacity to reach the largest number of civil society actors across conflict groups through a common human development resource—education. The study further argues that structural reforms in the national education system can help reduce animosities, foster cooperation, ensure capacity building, and promote civil society participation between the government and civil society, and particularly amongst citizens of Hutu, Tutsi, and Twa descent. It is demonstrated throughout this study that the outcome of the educational reconstruction process depends on its conditions, how it is engineered, by whom, and the availability of necessary resources.
