title: Routing fountains: leveraging broadcast channels to improve the dissemination of control information for large inter-domain networks

description: The utility of a large inter-domain network depends on neighboring networks exchanging routing control information and using that information to compute next-hop forwarding decisions. While this approach of hop-by-hop information dissemination has proven very useful for the incremental expansion of the Internet, it is limited in providing the necessary performance to accommodate for future network growth, mobility, and security. ❧ To address these challenges, we present a novel architecture that leverages broadcast channels for disseminating routing information.   The key components of our architecture are devices called `Routing Fountains' that perform the task of collecting routing information from each of the participant networks and then simultaneously redistributing this information back to the greater set of networks through a wide area broadcast channel, like a satellite downlink.  By complementing existing routing infrastructures with Routing Fountains, we augment the route distribution graph in a way that: 1.) Drastically reduces the number of transmissions needed to communicate routing updates, 2.) Provides synchronization to the route distribution process, and 3.) Facilitates the validation of routing data. Our architecture is designed to augment and therefore coexist with current routing infrastructures so that incremental performance gains can be achieved without disruption to existing infrastructures. ❧ Utilizing a broadcast based architecture provides compelling opportunities to improve the performance of today's inter-domain routing architectures.  To demonstrate the utility of this approach we have applied it to the following three inter-domain routing tasks: 1.) Distributing routing updates across the entire Internet topology, 2.) Facilitating minimal loss network transitions for mobile networks while maintaining shortest path connectivity, and 3.)  Protecting against the distribution of fictitious routing information.  The results from our Internet graph and routing traffic analysis, simulations, and testbed prototypes demonstrate that utilizing broadcast channels has remarkable value in improving the performance and robustness of existing route distribution infrastructures, even when only a subset of the larger network is actively receiving the broadcasted information.

title: Modeling nonverbal behaviors for virtual agents

description: Virtual agents are autonomous software characters that support face-to-face interactions with human users. They are capable of understanding human input (i.e. speech, text input) and automatically generating responses that are adaptive to the context of the interaction. By communicating through verbal and nonverbal channels (i.e. behaviors without words), virtual agents can support meaningful social interactions with human users. ❧ One of the main goals in virtual agent research is to emulate how humans interact face-to-face. While traditional human-agent interaction was mainly accomplished through speech or text, with the emergence of better graphical representation and control over the virtual agent's embodiment, communication through nonverbal behaviors has become an active research area. However, nonverbal behavior is complex, involving many different behaviors, such as facial expressions, arm gestures, and gaze movements. There is also a complex mapping between nonverbal behaviors and their impact on communication (the communicative functions) and this creates a great challenge in the task of behavior authoring for virtual agents. ❧ The central goal of this research is to explore ways to derive models that automatically generate nonverbal behaviors and can thereby greatly facilitate behavior authoring. In this research, two major approaches to provide computational frameworks for generating nonverbal behaviors are explored: a literature-based approach and a machine learning approach. The former approach encodes the findings of psychological research into a set of rules, which is validated and prioritized through additional video analysis. The framework developed from this work has been incorporated within a growing number of different virtual agent systems. The machine learning approach focuses on learning the patterns of speaker behaviors, including head nods and eyebrow movements, as well as the behaviors of people with different characteristics (i.e. different job roles and behavioral traits). The objective evaluations show that the probabilistic models learned on a subgroup of people achieved better learning performance and the subjective evaluation study shows that the characteristics of the subgroups of people learned by the models can be carried through their generated behaviors. ❧ This research contributes to the development of virtual agents by facilitating the behavior authoring process, providing comparisons of different approaches for modeling nonverbal behaviors that has not been studied extensively before, and understanding the discrepancies between the behavior modeling process and the perception of the behaviors through evaluation studies with human subjects.

title: Full rides and short strides: a phenomenological approach to understanding the application of Schlossberg's transition theory to the perceived collegiate challenges and transitions of African American football athletes

description: The issue of transitioning and retaining students in higher education has received considerable attention; however a lack of focused attention on African Americans athletes within studies of higher educational student subgroups motivated this study. This study leverages Nancy Schlossberg’s Transition Theory—which examines human responses to life transition—in the collegiate context to examine, understand and uncover the underlying factors impeding or facilitating the academic, athletic, and social transitional experiences of African American Football athletes. Specifically, the intent of this study is to investigate the college experiences of African American football athletes at a selective Division 1A institution to discover (a) the application of Schlossberg’s transition support and response model; (b) motivations promoting college success; and (c) support resources and usage in collegiate experience. Phenomenology was used to examine collegiate transition through the lens of successfully graduated African American football athletes, employing a pre-interview questionnaire, semi-structured interview, and follow-up member checks. Phenomenology provided rich perspectives to the lack of full expression into this nontraditional student population of African American athletes.

title: Classroom social environments, motivational beliefs, and student engagement

description: This study examines the relationship between features of the social classroom environment (teacher support, student support, teacher promotion of interaction) and three types of student engagement (behavioral, emotional, cognitive) in mathematics, mediated by motivational beliefs (mastery goal orientation, self-efficacy), with a focus on student perceptions. Prior research of these constructs was examined and it was predicted that there would be significant relationships between these features of the social classroom environment and student engagement. It was also predicted that these features would be mediated by student motivational beliefs. ❧ To determine if a relationship existed, fourth grade students (N = 77) were given a survey similar to the one used by Patrick, Ryan and Kaplan (2007). A portion of the survey was adapted from the Feelings About School Inventory developed by Fredricks, Blumenfeld, Friedel, and Paris (2005), designed to measure student engagement. Additionally, students were given a modified form of a portion of the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Survey by Midgley et al., (2000) designed to measure students’ mastery goal orientations. The results of the analyses found that there was a significant relationship between students’ perceptions of the motivational features of the classroom social environment and their self-ratings of their level of engagement in math with regard to teacher support and student support, which were fully mediated by mastery goal orientation and self-efficacy. Whether or not the teacher promotes interaction between the students in the classroom did not significantly influence mastery goal orientation, self-efficacy, or the engagement variables.

title: Urban superintendents and their selection of successful elementary school principals

description: Urban superintendents are hired and commissioned to raise student achievement, especially for students who have been traditionally underserved by underperforming public schools. Site principals have a significant impact on student achievement; therefore, successful superintendents must be able to recruit, select, and hire effective principals in order to raise student achievement. This study examined how effective urban superintendents recruit, select, and hire successful elementary principals. ❧ Three primary research questions were used in this mixed methods study. Two instruments were used to collect data. The quantitative data was collected from online surveys from 29 urban superintendents, and qualitative data was collected from three personal interviews with successful superintendents. The data was triangulated and analyzed to help answer the research questions of this study. ❧ The research study resulted in several key findings. Superintendents look for particular background characteristics in principal candidates such as elementary teaching experience, prior administrative experience, and advanced degrees from respected universities. In addition, superintendents hire candidates who have excellent people skills and who are superb instructional leaders. School districts that offer competitive salaries and have a reputation of success are able to recruit top quality principal candidates. Finally, school districts that carefully paper screen applications, thoroughly check employment references, and conduct a comprehensive interview process are able to identify and hire the best possible principal candidate from the candidate pool.

title: Prosthetic vision in blind human patients: Predicting the percepts of epiretinal stimulation

description: Over the last 8 years it has been shown that an implantable retinal prosthesis can partially restore visual capabilities to blind humans. With current electrode arrays it is only possible to stimulate groups of cells rather than individual single cells with spatio-temporal precision. While artificial vision from a retinal prosthesis is unable to completely replicate the neural response patterns of normal vision, by stimulating groups of cells with electrodes patients see electrically elicited visual percepts. Thus this work will focus mainly on the form of percepts created with single electrodes in a prosthesis given certain varying stimulation parameters, and the development of a model to predict how stimuli applied produce certain percepts with single and paired prosthesis electrodes. ❧ Ideally we would want this model to resemble a digital display with independent pixels in order to individually control each percept seen by the subject in relation to the stimuli. We find however that the model that best fits the data does not resemble a digital display but instead the nerve fiber bundle trajectories in the human retina. ❧ The work presented here gives insight into the factors affecting form perception with a microelectronic retinal prosthesis. Specifically, by directly measuring the shapes of visual percepts from single and paired electrodes at different stimulation parameters, the building blocks of prosthetic vision are understood. The incentive is that we can use this information to develop a strategy that can control the percepts from each individual prosthesis electrode and piece them together in an organized way to best represent the visual world.
