description: This thesis examined the experiences of first-generation college students in the context of higher education. This thesis was framed by the communication theory of resilience to discover how first-generation college students enact five processes of resilience: crafting normalcy, affirming identity anchors, maintaining and using communication networks, employing alternate logics, and foregrounding productive action. First-generation college students face academic preparation, financial, social capital, personal, and college completion adversities that may necessitate engagement in resilience processes. Participants (N = 8) participated in focus groups and interviews where they discussed messages from family, peers, and university faculty and staff involving reactive and proactive resilience processes. Results showed that first-generation college student engage in all five processes of resilience with peers and university faculty and staff and four processes of resilience with family. Implications for theory, limitations, and future directions for research directions for research are discussed.

title: Lessons from wolves: stakeholder perspectives and experiences with northern rocky wolf reintroduction
Creators: name: Wright, Jami Lynn
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
The gray wolf, Canis lupus, inhabited all parts of the North American continent for at least 300,000 years prior to European colonization (Wilson, et al. 2000). Lopez (1978) estimated the species population to have been around several hundred thousand in just the western United States and Mexico. In the short time span of 150 years, Euro-Americans fiercely eradicated this predator to the brink of extinction for preying on domesticated livestock during American colonization. By the mid 1900's the gray wolf was absent from this land with the exception of rumored howls in the northernmost states. Then, in 1995, only sixty years after the completion of one of the most aggressive species eradications in U.S. history, the U.S. Federal government reintroduced Canis lupus into Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, despite extreme protests from these Rocky Mountain States. My research seeks information pertaining to the human element that essential to co-existing with wolves. I hypothesize that human-human conflicts about wolves are more prevalent than actual conflicts between humans and wolves, such as attacks or property damage. This hypothesis was examined while conducting fieldwork in Central Idaho. I utilized formal, informal, and unstructured interviews, as well as participant observation, with ranchers, conservationists, and the Nez Perce. The research sample consisted of seven individuals, three ranchers, three conservationists, and one Nez Perce man. My findings indicate that human-wolf conflicts do exist, but that conflicts more often are between different groups of people regarding control over management of valued natural resources. Additionally, I found that people vary in terms of where they derive their authority on such issues, such as number of generations spent on the land versus formal education.

Loss of Selenoprotein F Alters the Transformation Phenotype in Human Prostate Cancer Cells
Creators: name: Hong, Lenny K
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Selenium is incorporated into selenoproteins in the form of the 21st amino acid selenocysteine that is coded by the UGA codon. Structures at the 3’ untranslated region of the selenoprotein mRNA known as the selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) element redefines the UGA codon, normally coding for a stop codon, as a selenocysteine. This element recognizes and recruits the necessary components required for successful incorporation. Selenoprotein F (SELENOF, previously known as SEP15) is a 15 kDa protein that has been implicated in prostate cancer etiology due to the variants associated with prostate cancer mortality and reduced levels in prostate cancer compared to benign prostatic tissue. Currently, the function of SELENOF is unknown and only recent studies have associated its function with quality control of protein folding. In regard to the biological function in prostate cancer, the significance of the reduction of SELENOF remains to be elucidated. The current thesis provides evidence that the loss of SELENOF is not just a bystander and has biological consequences. The mechanism by which SELENOF levels are reduced in prostate cancer are unknown. Eukaryotic initiation factor 4A3 (eIF4a3) is involved in RNA splicing and involved in the formation of exon-exon junction, but has a secondary function of negatively regulating certain selenoproteins during times of low Se availability. Regulation of SELENOF by eIF4a3 has yet to be shown and some evidence of the relationship between these two proteins are provided in this thesis. In prostate cancer, eIF4a3 is dramatically increased compared to benign prostatic tissue and could explain the loss of SELENOF in prostate cancer.

description: Consider a sequence (Z_n,Z_n^M) of bivariate Lévy processes, such that Z_n is a spectrally positive Lévy process with finite variation, and Z_n^M is the counting process of marks in {0,1} carried by the jumps of Z_n. The study of these processes is justified by their interpretation as contour processes of a sequence of splitting trees with mutations at birth. Indeed, this paper is the first part of a work aiming to establish an invariance principle for the genealogies of such populations enriched with their mutational histories. To this aim, we define a bivariate subordinator that we call the marked ladder height process of (Z_n,Z_n^M), as a generalization of the classical ladder height process to our Lévy processes with marked jumps. Assuming that the sequence (Z_n) converges towards a Lévy process Z with infinite variation, we first prove the convergence in distribution, with two possible regimes for the marks, of the marked ladder height process of (Z_n,Z_n^M). Then we prove the joint convergence in law of Z_n with its local time at the supremum and its marked ladder height process.

description: Spirituality and its relationship to leadership in an organizational context is a fascinating issue for both management practitioners and researchers. While the notion of spirituality in the workplace has generated a considerable amount of attention and debate in the last decade, there has been little research looking at the important link between spiritual intelligence and performance. Using the job demands-resources theory as a theoretical basis, the present study examined the role of a leader’s personal resource of spiritual intelligence in a project context and the mediating mechanisms that relate it to project success. While examining self-leadership as a motivational mechanism in this relationship, the study further examined the role played by the leader’s personal resource of psychological capital as a mechanism that links spiritual intelligence to self-leadership. In addition, by drawing on the conservation of resources theory, the study investigated the moderating effects of project complexity and team size on the relationships between both spiritual intelligence and psychological capital and self-leadership, as well as the relationship between self-leadership and project success. Structural equation modelling was performed utilizing survey data from 191 leaders managing projects in Indian firms. Results showed a positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and psychological capital. Both the leader’s personal resources of spiritual intelligence and psychological capital were positively related to self-leadership. It was found that self-leadership acts as a mediating mechanism between the leader’s spiritual intelligence and project success. In addition, psychological capital was found to mediate the association between spiritual intelligence and self-leadership. There was a significant moderating effect of project complexity on the relationship between self-leadership and project success in that the relationship between self-leadership and project success was stronger for projects higher in complexity.
title: Magnetostratigraphy and block rotation of the Mecca Hills, CA
Creators: name: Messe, Graham Thomas
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2014

description:
The sedimentary Palm Spring Formation crops out in the Mecca Hills, CA and preserves valuable information about the evolution of the San Andreas fault system in the transtentional Salton Trough. Constraining the timing of deposition for the Palm Spring Formation upper unit is useful for estimating timing of basin development due to fault motions. Magnetostratigraphic correlation is used as the most viable means of dating this sequence because the unit lacks well constrained age indicative fossils and strata. Paleomagnetic analysis is also used to constrain the amount of vertical axis rotation that the region has undergone within the southern San Andreas fault system. The base of the studied section is interpreted to be younger than the 2.581 Ma start of the Matuyama reverse polarity chron and the section is interpreted to span most of this chron, including the Réunion, Olduvai and Jaramillo normal chrons. The top of the Palm Spring Fm. upper unit is interpreted to be younger than the termination of the Jaramillo normal chron (0.99 Ma) and older than the 0.78 Ma Brunhes-Matuyama boundary. Correlation of the measured section with the geomagnetic polarity time scale ages yields an average sedimentation rate of 0.4 mm/year. Comparison of the mean direction of the reverse polarity site means to the expected magnetic field direction yields 7.3° ± 8.0° of counterclockwise rotation for the region.

description: Natural materials are made from weak constituents, yet exhibit an excellent synergy of high stiffness, strength, and damage-tolerance. They consist of alternate layers of the hard and soft phases with a complex hierarchical structural organization. The ice-templating technique provides an approach to fabricate multilayered architectures for engineering applications. In this technique, an aqueous ceramic suspension is solidified unidirectionally leading to phase separation into alternating layers of ice-crystals and ceramic particles. Ice-crystals are sublimated by freeze-drying process and resultant ceramic foams are sintered to impart strength. The fabricated sintered ceramic foams contain alternate layers of oriented ceramic lamella walls and pores. By infiltrating the ceramic foams with a polymer phase, ice-templated ceramic-polymer multilayered composites are developed. These ice-templated composites with alternate layers of ceramic and polymer have the potential to exhibit an unusual combination of both improved strength and toughness. This presentation discusses the on-going work on processing and uniaxial axial compressive behavior of ice-templated alumina-epoxy composites quasistatic loading regime. Further presents the influence of ceramic composition on the compressive strength, and the effect of loading orientation on the mechanical response. Additionally, we characterized the compressive strength of porous scaffolds as a function of ceramic composition and loading orientation. To this end, we performed a Weibull analysis study to quantify the variability of compressive strength in ice-templated porous scaffolds and alumina-epoxy composites to understand the role of the ceramic phase in the compressive mechanical response. To visualize and better understand the underlying differences between the deformation characteristics as a function of loading orientation we performed X-ray tomography (XRT) on partially deformed alumina-epoxy composites. This study will enable in understanding the effects of ceramic layer thickness, layer connectivity, and layer orientation with respect to loading orientation in the overall mechanical response of ice-templated alumina-epoxy composites.

description: In our numerical study, we identify the best conditions for efficient domain wall motion by spin-orbit torques originating from the Spin Hall effect or Rashba effect. We demonstrate that the effect depends critically on the domain wall configuration, the current injection scheme and the symmetry of the spin-orbit torque. The best identified configuration corresponds to a Néel wall driven by spin Hall Effect in a narrow strip with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. In this case, the domain wall velocity can be a factor of 10 larger than that for the conventional current-in-plane spin-transfer torque.

description: The Institute of Medicine identified the nursing workforce shortage as a critical issue for the United States healthcare system. To address this issue, educators are challenged to increase the number and diversity of baccalaureate-prepared (BSN) nurses. BSN programs report attrition rates up to 50%, with higher rates reported in underrepresented minority (URM) students. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that helped students to persist and succeed in a BSN program. Aims included 1) Determine associations among background characteristics, academic factors, and success outcomes, 2) determine if the association between academic factors and success outcomes is moderated by background characteristics, and 3) explore the perceptions of underrepresented minority (URM) students regarding key elements that influenced their persistence in a baccalaureate nursing program. The study conceptual model was developed from Tinto’s theory of student departure and Bean and Metzner’s non-traditional undergraduate student attrition model by combining aspects of background characteristics, academic factors, and success outcomes. The study was conducted with students recruited from three nursing colleges in two phases. Phase 1: survey questions from the Modified College Persistence Questionnaire (CPQ) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) were administered via Qualtrics to measure variables such as absenteeism, advising, resilience, and satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze quantitative data. Phase 2: interviews were conducted to explore perceptions of URM students and analyzed using directed content analysis Results: The sample included 110 students (7.3% Black/African American; 11.8% Hispanic; 24.5% first generation college students). The associations among background characteristics (race, ethnicity, and first-generation student status), academic factors (cognitive, behavioral, and non-cognitive), and success outcomes (grade point average and satisfaction) were analyzed. Self-efficacy was a significant predictor of GPA. First-generation student status significantly moderated the effect of absenteeism and sense of belonging on GPA while URM status significantly moderated the effect of advising and sense of belonging on satisfaction with the nursing program. Qualitative data supported quantitative findings. The results of this study provides the foundation for the development of strategies to enhance the persistence and success of nursing students, improve the retention rates of BSN students, and impact nursing workforce diversity.
Reaching across Land and Ocean: Daughters of Bilitis, Minorities Research Group, and Resistance Formation in the International Lesbian Network

description: From 1964 to 1972, the lesbian rights organizations, Daughters of Bilitis and Minorities Research Group, shaped the resistance of lesbians in North America and Europe by providing a platform to challenge harmful narratives about lesbianism in their magazines, The Ladder and Arena Three. This thesis is the first to examine the close relationship of the Daughters of Bilitis and Minorities Research Group, and how their collaboration helped lesbians in the international lesbian network move from the shadows onto the international stage years before Stonewall. More often than not, DOB and MRG leaders could not agree on what was "best" for lesbians, and these disagreements strengthened their resistance by forcing them to consider other tactics in elevating the lesbian reputation. Correspondence, both private and published, advocated for this greater visibility and helped many lesbians feel less isolated during an era when lesbianism was broadly condemned. Both organizations laid the groundwork for later lesbian rights groups by providing examples of how to use international networks to broaden the reach of local activism.

description: We investigate low-temperature magneto-transport in recently developed, high-quality multi-terminal suspended bilayer graphene devices, enabling the independent measurement of the longitudinal and transverse resistance. We observe clear signatures of the fractional quantum Hall effect, with different states that are either fully developed, and exhibit a clear plateau in the transverse resistance with a concomitant dip in longitudinal resistance, or incipient, and exhibit only a longitudinal resistance minimum. All observed states scale as a function of filling factor nu, as expected. An unprecedented even-denominator fractional state is observed at nu = -1/2 on the hole side, exhibiting a clear plateau in Rxy quantized at the expected value of 2h/e^2 with a precision of ~0.5%. Many of our observations, together with a recent electronic compressibility measurement performed in graphene bilayers on hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) substrates, are consistent with a recent theory that accounts for the effect of the degeneracy between the N=0 and N=1 Landau levels in the fractional quantum Hall effect, and predicts the occurrence of a Moore-Read type nu = -1/2 state. Owing to the experimental flexibility of bilayer graphene --which has a gate-dependent band structure, can be easily accessed by scanning probes, and can be contacted with materials such as superconductors--, our findings offer new possibilities to explore the microscopic nature of even-denominator fractional quantum Hall effect.

description: We attempt to constrain the shape of M31's inner stellar halo by tracing the surface density of blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars at galactocentric distances ranging from 2 kpc to 35 kpc. Our measurements make use of resolved stellar photometry from a section of the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) survey, supplemented by several archival Hubble Space Telescope observations. We find that the ratio of BHB to red giant stars is relatively constant outside of 10 kpc, suggesting that the BHB is as reliable a tracer of the halo population as the red giant branch. In the inner halo, we do not expect BHB stars to be produced by the high metallicity bulge and disk, making BHB stars a good candidate to be a reliable tracer of the stellar halo to much smaller galactocentric distances. If we assume a power-law profile r^(-α) for the 2-D projected surface density BHB distribution, we obtain a high-quality fit with a 2-D power-law index of α=2.6^{+0.3}_{-0.2} outside of 3 kpc, which flattens to α<1.2 inside of 3 kpc. This slope is consistent with previous measurements but is anchored to a radial baseline that extends much farther inward. Finally, assuming azimuthal symmetry and a constant mass-to-light ratio, the best-fitting profile yields a total halo stellar mass of 2.1^{+1.7}_{-0.4} x 10^9 M_sun. These properties are comparable with both simulations of stellar halo formation formed by satellite disruption alone, and with simulations that include some in situ formation of halo stars.

description: An experimental study was carried out on sediment of five Jordanian dams namely Tannur, Mujib, Karamah, King Talal, and Wadi ElArab to assess the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations by using GC/MS. King Talal dam had highest concentration of all studied pollutants flowed by Wadi ElArab. Both dams are considered most polluted dams, the total PAHs concentration (∑PAHs) was found for both dams as 69.91 ng/g and 35.31 ng/g, respectively, also ∑pg TEQ/g value was found to be 3470.95 and 278.62 for both dams, respectively. The calculated total cancer risk for each dam shows that King Talal dam and Wadi ElArab had highest value which is 2.40304E–05 and 1.92897E–06, respectively. It was found that Tannur, Mujib, and Karamah dams are relatively clean with low pollution level compared to King Talal and Wadi ElArab dams. This is because there are no industrial activities in their surroundings and could also be explained by the fact that these compounds need harder conditions to be synthesized. It was found that source of PAHs in the sediments of all dams is related to pyrolytic processes. This environmental study provides up-to-date data for researchers around the world of PAHs concentrations in Jordanian dams as indicator for pollution and comparison purposes.

Minculete has introduced a concept of divisors of order $r$: integer $d=p_1^{b_1}\cdots p_k^{b_k} $ is called a divisor of order $r$ of $n=p_1^{a_1}\cdots p_k^{a_k}$ if $d \mid n$ and $b_j\in\{r, a_j\}$ for $j=1,\ldots,k$. One can consider respective divisor function $τ^{(r)}$ and sum-of-divisors function $σ^{(r)}$. In the present paper we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of $\sum_{n\le x} τ^{(r)}(n)$ and $\sum_{n\le x} σ^{(r)}(n)$. We also provide conditional estimates under Riemann hypothesis.

description: The detection and characterization of the physical properties of very distant galaxies will be one the prominent science case of all future Extremely Large Telescopes, including the 39m E-ELT. Multi-Object Spectroscopic instruments are potentially very important tools for studying these objects, and in particular fiber-based concepts. However, detecting and studying such faint and distant sources will require subtraction of the sky background signal (i.e., between OH airglow lines) with an accuracy of ~1%. This requires a precise and accurate knowledge of the sky background temporal and spatial fluctuations. Using FORS2 narrow-band filter imaging data, we are currently investigating what are the fluctuations of the sky background at ~9000A. We present preliminary results of sky background fluctuations from this study over spatial scales reaching ~4 arcmin, as well as first glimpses into the temporal variations of such fluctuations over timescales of the order of the hour. This study (and other complementary on-going studies) will be essential in designing the next-generation fiber-fed instruments for the E-ELT.

description: Recent experiments on the green alga Chlamydomonas that swims using synchronized beating of a pair of flagella have revealed that it exhibits a run-and-tumble behavior similar to that of bacteria such as E. Coli. Using a simple purely hydrodynamic model that incorporates a stroke cycle and an intrinsic Gaussian white noise, we show that a stochastic run-and-tumble behavior could emerge, due to the nonlinearity of the combined synchronization-rotation-translation dynamics. This suggests the intriguing possibility that the alga might exploit nonlinear mechanics---as opposed to sophisticated biochemical circuitry as used by bacteria---to control its behavior.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Cataract is the most common practiced surgery in the world, and the use of intraoperative microscopes during cataract surgery is a widespread practice worldwide. Taking advantage of these intraoperative systems, it is possible to post-process the images acquired in real time, providing meaningful feedback to the surgeon in the operating room. The goal of this thesis is to develop and evaluate a novel surgical guidance to help phacoemulsification cataract surgeons, residents, and medical students to improve their surgical outcomes and obtain better surgical training. Deep learning and computer vision techniques were studied to be applied in the operating room environment, with real-time data acquisition from the microscope camera video output. Different surgical guidance tools were developed for solving common problems that surgeons face in the operating room, and a final assessment survey was made by invited experts from the UIC Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences to evaluate its usefulness and performance. Results suggest that deep learning real-time pupil tracking and phase identification during phacoemulsification cataract surgery is feasible, while computer vision-based tools are able to provide meaningful intraoperative feedback to surgeons and improve their overall experience.

description: Unlike wired networks, the capacity of a wireless network is interference limited due to the broadcast nature of wireless medium. Some multicast wireless network protocols do not consider channel assignment issue, that they cause interference at transmission nodes, hence do not use full capacity of the network. Interference can be reduced and throughput improved with the use of multichannel features. Therefore, this paper used orthogonal channels for sending and receiving nodes in the network. We propose EWM (Efficient Wireless Multicast) method that is distributed scheme for constructing multicast tree in multi-channel multi-interface wireless mesh networks (MIMC-WMN) which selects relay nodes and in distributed form assign orthogonal radio channels to them. To more decrease of interference in adding a branch to the tree, the route with minimum end-to-end delay from the source to the multicast receiver will be chosen. Thus, the tree is suitable for multimedia applicants. We also employ the broadcast nature of the wireless media to reduce the number of relay nodes. The proposed algorithm is compared with MCM algorithm in NS2.

description: We describe the evolution of the SU(4) Kondo effect as the number of magnetic centers increases from one impurity to the two-dimensional (2D) lattice. We derive a Hubbard-Anderson model which describes a 2D array of atoms or molecules with two-fold orbital degeneracy, acting as magnetic impurities and interacting with a metallic host. We calculate the differential conductance, observed typically in experiments of scanning tunneling spectroscopy, for different arrangements of impurities on a metallic surface: a single impurity, a periodic square lattice, and several sites of a rectangular cluster. Our results point towards the crucial importance of the orbital degeneracy and agree well with recent experiments in different systems of iron(II) phtalocyanine molecules deposited on top of Au(111) [N. Tsukahara et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 187201 (2011)], indicating that this would be the first experimental realization of an artificial 2D SU(4) Kondo-lattice system.

description: The continental coasts and remote islands in the high-latitude Southern Hemisphere, including the subantarctic region, are characterized by many endemic species, high abundance of taxa, and intermediate levels of biodiversity. The macroalgal flora of these locations has received relatively little attention. Filamentous green algae are prolific in the intertidal of southern islands, but the taxonomy, distribution, and evolutionary history of these taxa are yet to be fully explored, mostly due to the difficulty of access to some of these locations. In this study, we examined specimens of the order Cladophorales from various locations in the high-latitude Southern Hemisphere including the subantarctic (the Auckland Islands, Bounty Islands, Campbell Island, Macquarie Island, and Kerguelen Islands), as well as mainland New Zealand, the Chatham Islands, Chile, and Tasmania. The analyses of the rDNA sequences of the samples revealed the existence of two new clades in a phylogeny of the Cladophoraceae. One of these clades is described as the novel genus Vandenhoekia gen. nov., which contains three species that are branched or unbranched. The amended genus Rama is reinstated to accommodate the other clade, and contains four species, including the Northern Hemisphere “Cladophora rupestris.” In Rama both branched and unbranched morphologies are found. It is remarkable that gross morphology is not a predictor for generic affiliations in these algae. This study illustrates that much can still be learned about diversity in the Cladophorales and highlights the importance of new collections, especially in novel locations.
