AC 2011-676: 100 FRESHMAN CIVIL ENGINEERS: A MODEL FOR IN- TEGRATING COMMUNICATION AND TEAMWORK IN LARGE ENGI-

Engineering education has been transformed over the past decade. Increasingly, engineering students are seeing the integration of communication, teamwork, leadership, and ethics into their engineering curriculum. The best models are those that couple these professional skills with actual engineering projects to show students how intricately linked communication and teamwork skills are with engineering problem solving and design. Much emphasis is placed on senior capstone courses, as this meets the immediate demand of preparing graduating seniors for the non-technical aspects of their careers. In contrast, freshman classes receive less attention in terms of their position to “set the tone” for the coupling of communication and engineering, likely because the demands placed on freshman engineering classes are already high. They serve as a recruitment tool, pique interest in engineering, expose students to the many and varied areas of concentration in the discipline, and perhaps, introduce students to engineering projects and basic design skills. While the many and varied objectives of freshman classes already challenge the curriculum, increasing enrollment is another constraint. Unusually large freshman classes make intensive speaking and writing opportunities challenging in terms of evaluation and feedback. We have successfully integrated communication and interpersonal skill development into the freshman civil engineering class for several years. Despite many years of success with this course, we faced a unique challenge this year when enrollment increased by almost fifty percent. This increased number of students threatened to disrupt our already intensive instruction and evaluation processes. Our purpose in this paper is to showcase our unique approach to team teaching, illustrate the individualized attention students receive on their writing, speaking, and teamwork assignments, and provide an assessment of our approach. Specifically, we highlight our model of team teaching, and show how we capitalize on a unique class structure to allow for individualized communication experiences and feedback for all 100 students. Finally, we assess our efforts through gathering student feedback in the form of surveys, evaluating students’ speaking and writing competence, and gathering feedback from the instructional team to guide continuous improvement in the course.
Paleomagnetic results from granitic basement rocks in the Cajon Pass Scientific Drillhole

Natural remanent magnetizations in granitic rocks intersected by the Cajon Pass scientific drillhole are a composite of two superimposed magnetizations. One magnetization is a primary TRM acquired in late Cretaceous times upon initial cooling, while the other is an IRM induced by the coring device. Coring-induced IRM has obscured any pre-coring VRM, and thus core orientation using recent VRM was not possible. Primary inclinations are internally consistent and agree with expected values derived from the adjacent Sierra Nevada and Southern California batholiths.
Telecommunications Reform in Developing Countries

Since World War II, developing nations have embarked on two massive changes in telecommunications policy. The first was the wave of nationalization of private companies that took place mostly in the 1950s and 1960s, and the second is the now ongoing process of re-privatization and, to a lesser degree, the introduction of competition. The purpose of this essay is to set forth the problems of contemporary neoliberal policy reform within the historical, economic and political context of these countries to assess the success of reform to date and to suggest future directions for research that might improve the performance of the sector. The existing literature well documents the decline in performance during the nationalization era and the improvements that reform usually brings; however, relatively little is known about the relationship between the details of reform and subsequent performance, or about the institutional factors that contribute to the stability of reform. The main conclusions are: (1) the recent literature on policy reform probably understates the importance of constructing regulatory governance institutions that are not captured by the newly reformed incumbent monopolist; (2) reform in some countries has focused too much on maximizing the revenues from the sale of state-owned enterprises rather than the long-run economic benefits of reform to consumers and society at large; and (3) too little attention has been given to creating an institutional environment, regulatory and legal, that supports a private and, where possible, competitive industry. The paper also argues that small developing countries probably should not allocate scarce educated technical civil servants to regulation, but should either adopt relatively simple "benchmark" systems or, better still, form multinational agencies for regulating prices and service standards.
Comparison of symptoms in Japanese and American depressed primary care patients.

Depression is a highly prevalent, worldwide problem with multiple social and health consequences. It often presents in primary care with physical symptoms. Little research has been done on cross-cultural expression of depression in primary care. This paper examines the hypothesis that depressed Japanese patients present with more and with more distinct somatic complaints than depressed American patients.



Data were collected by chart audit for patients with a diagnosis of depression at two sites: Minamikawachi Tochigi, Japan and Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Patient demographics and type and number of presenting symptoms in the two populations were compared. Logistic regression was used to determine whether there were differences between countries in physical symptoms and to adjust for relevant demographic characteristics.



Japanese family physicians charted more somatic complaints from patients diagnosed as depressed than did American family physicians. Specific physical symptoms differed by country: Japanese patients had more abdominal distress, headaches, and neck pain. These symptoms have strong cultural significance for Japanese patients.



This study clearly indicates the prominence and importance of physical symptoms in the presentation of depression in Japanese primary care patients. Their physicians must be alerted to the possibility of depression, especially when patient complaints include abdominal, neck or head pain.
Modulating the Catalytic Activity of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles with the Anion of the Precursor Salt.

In this work, we tested our hypothesis that surface chemistry and antioxidant properties of cerium nanoparticles (CNPs) are affected by presence of counterions. We first employed various precursor cerium (III) (Ce(III)) salts with different counterions (acetate, nitrate, chloride, sulfate) to synthesize CNPs following the same wet chemical methodology. Electron spin resonance (ESR) studies provided evidence for the formation of radicals from counterions (e.g., NO3•2- from reduction of NO3- in CNPs synthesized from Ce(III) nitrate). Physicochemical properties of these CNPs, e.g., dispersion stability, hydrodynamic size, signature surface chemistry, SOD-mimetic activity, and oxidation potentials were found to be significantly affected by the anions of the precursor salts. CNPs synthesized from Ce(III) nitrate and Ce(III) chloride exhibited higher extent of SOD-mimetic activities. Therefore, these CNPs were studied extensively employing in-situ UV-Visible spectroelectrochemistry and changing the counterion concentrations affected the oxidation potentials of these CNPs. Thus, the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of CNPs can be modulated by anions of the precursor. Furthermore, our ESR studies present evidence of the formation of guanine cation radical (G•+) in 5'-dGMP via UV-photoionization at 77 K in the presence of CNPs synthesized from Ce(III) nitrate and chloride and CNPs act as the scavenger of radiation-produced electrons.
How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live

Protest songs dealing with specific historical events tend to have "a built-in expiration date", to use an apt expression coined recently by Suzy Rotolo in regard to Phil Och's topical songs of the 1960s, which of course " doesn't lessen the validity of a well-written song ; it serves its purpose within its designated shelf life. " (Rotolo 2008 : 246). This paper explores the transformations of a Depression-era protest song, originally recorded for RCA Victor on December 4,1929 by the morally conservative Virginian composer-singer-fiddler Blind Alfred Reed, and subsequently covered since then, notably by the New Lost City Ramblers during the folk revival on Songs of the Depression (Folkways, 1959), by Ry Cooder on his self-titled album (Reprise, 1970), and more recently by Bruce Springsteen on his tribute album to Pete Seeger, We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (Columbia, 2006). Among the questions I explore are the following: How has this song remained relevant to new generations despite its historical link to the Depression era (e.g., a verse about the Prohibition)? What textual and musical features have contributed to its success? How do these performances, and especially the musical textures, reflect their times and deflect the original message of the song? How have successive artists manipulated the original to their own esthetic or political ends (e.g., by changing the order of verses, by adding or omitting lyrics, etc.), and to what effect? Twentieth-century protest songs have often been associated with the political Left, with some notable exceptions (e.g., Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee). How has the historical context combined with artistic intentions altered the political flavor of this particular song? The broader aim of this research is to cast light on the multi-faceted functions of protest songs and how their meanings vary over time. Reference Rotolo, Suzy. 2008.

Job Assignment of Graduates of the University of Bucharest and Their Integration in the Labor System of the 1980s

According to the official communist rhetoric, the assignment of higher education graduates to socialist enterprises and/or institutions was 'an action with profound social- political meanings, which aims to ensure the production units and other areas which the specialists they need'. The closure of the top most populated 14 cities starting with 1981 combined with the economic crisis of the 1980s and with various measures of the regime perceived as absurd, and made the system more restrictive than ever before. This study focuses on the changes of the job supply for graduates of the University of Bucharest during the 1980s, and on the process of assigning graduates to their work-place.
Processes Distribution of Homogeneous Parallel Linear Algebra Routines on Heterogeneous Clusters

This paper presents a self-optimization methodology for parallel linear algebra routines on heterogeneous systems. For each routine, a series of decisions is taken automatically in order to obtain an execution time close to the optimum (without rewriting the routine's code). Some of these decisions are: the number of processes to generate, the heterogeneous distribution of these processes over the network of processors, the logical topology of the generated processes,... To reduce the search space of such decisions, different heuristics have been used. The experiments have been performed with a parallel LU factorization routine similar to the ScaLAPACK one, and good results have been obtained on different heterogeneous platforms
International Strategic Alliances for Local Market Entry: Direct Launches versus Marketing Alliances in Pharmaceuticals

This paper investigates the determinants of international strategic alliances by pharmaceutical firms. When launching drugs onto the market, there are two choices: launching the drugs directly or forming marketing alliances including licensing agreements. Because these choices affect firm revenue structure and the international supply pattern of pharmaceuticals, the impact on world welfare is significant. We examine the determinants of supply mode choice (direct launch versus alliance) by Japanese pharmaceutical companies. Our estimation results reveal that in addition to firm heterogeneity, product - and market - specific determinants of strategic alliances are important: firms with smaller scope economies prefer alliances for drugs with less market potential when intellectual property rights protection (IPP) is strong.
2003 M.T.S.N.Y.S. Emerging Scholar Award: Multidimensional Counterpoint and Social Subversion in Luigi Nono's Choral Works

The political overtones of Luigi Nono's works often resonate more loudly than his music. One might be tempted to counteract the eclipse of musical issues by social issues through reversing the position i.e., discussing music to the exclusion of politics but such a reversal might not be any more fruitful for the study of socially engaged artworks such as Nono's. Rather than posit musical and social issues at opposite poles of a hypothetical spectrum, I shall attempt to present both side by side, as analogous realms that exhibit identifiably similar tendencies. In the same vein, I shall place Nono's music in analogous but not opposite musical contexts. Even though this essay was originally presented in a conference session devoted to so-called avant-garde music composed after the Second World War, I will orient my discussion around sacred music composed before the Thirty Years War.
Are ICT, Workplace Organization and Human Capital Relevant for Innovation? A Comparative Study Based on Swiss and Greek Micro Data

This paper investigates the relationship between indicators for the intensity of use of ICT (examining three different types of ICT widely used in firms: internal, e-sales, e-procurement IS), several forms of workplace organization, and human capital on one hand, and several measures of innovation performance at firm level on the other hand, in an innovation equation framework, in which was also controlled for standard innovation determinants such as demand, competition and firm size. The empirical part is based on data of Swiss and Greek firms. This paper contributes to literature in three ways: first, it analyzes three important factors, i.e. information technology, workplace organization and human capital, which are considered to be drivers of innovation performance particularly in the last fifteen to twenty years, in the same setting, it uses several innovation indicators that cover both the input and the output side of the innovation process and, third, it does the analysis in a comparative setting for two countries, Greece and Switzerland, with quite different levels of technological and economic development.

Where Tradition Meets Change: Japan's Agricultural Politics in Transition

Japanese agricultural politics is transiting from an old to a new model, one that reflects broader changes in Japan's political economy. Those changes include a rebalancing of electoral power away from rural interests, the emergence of forces working for political and economic reform, the buttressing of executive power at the expense of the customary policymaking apparatus, and the ascendancy of a prime minister whose policy agenda is antithetical to the very foundations on which traditional power structures have rested. So far, however, the impact on farm policy has been modest. Vestiges of the old system continue to complicate the outlook for agricultural reform.
A Generic Process Algebra

The three classical process algebra CCS, CSP and ACP present several differences in their respective technical machinery. This is due, not only to the difference in their operators, but also to the terminology and “way of thinking” of the community which has been (and still is) working with them. In this paper we will first discuss such differences and try to clarify the different usage of terminology and concepts. Then, as a result of this discussion, we define a generic process algebra where each basic mechanism of the three process algebras is expressed by an operator and which can be used as an underlying common language. We show an example of the advantages of adopting such a language instead of one of the three more specialized algebras: producing a complete axiomatization of finite-state behaviours.
Номинация гастрономического дискурса: отражение в языковом сознании жителей полиэтничного города

This paper considers nominations of gastronomic discourse (pragmatonyms), in particular nominations of foodstuffs, and their relationship with motivating units. The pragmatonyms being studied contribute to the formation of the modern man‟s cognitive model of the world and, through their active functioning in a multi-ethnic city, extend the language consciousness of townspeople.
The Existential Hilbert 16-th problem and an estimate for cyclicity of elementary polycycles

The Existential Hilbert Problem is a weak version of the part b of the Hilbert 16-th problem which also asks not only about the number, but also about position of limit cycles of (1). The problem about finiteness of number of limit cycles for an individual polynomial line field (1) is called Dulac problem, since the pioneering work of Dulac [Du], who claimed in 1923 to solve this problem, but an error was found. The Dulac problem was solved by two independent and rather different proofs given independently
The Axiomatic Foundation of Space in GFO

Space and time are basic categories of any top-level ontology. They are fundamental assumptions for the mode of existence of those individuals which are said to be in space and time. In the present paper the ontology of space in the General Formal Ontology (GFO) is expounded. This ontology is represented as a theory BT (Brentano Theory), which is specified by a set of axioms formalized in first-order logic. This theory uses four prim itive relations: SReg(x) (x is space region), spart(x,y) (x is spatial part of y), sb(x,y) (x is spatial boundary of y), and scoinc(x,y) (x and y spatially coincide). This ontology is inspired by ideas of Franz Brentano. The investigation and exploration of Franz Brentano's ideas on space and time began about twenty years ago by work of R.M. Chisholm, B. Smith and A. Varzi. The present paper takes up this line of research and makes a further step in establishing an ontology of space which is based on rigorous logical methods and on principles of the new philosophical approach of integrative realism.
The prognostic importance of comorbidity for mortality in patients with stable coronary artery disease.

To identify the prevalent and prognostically important coexisting illnesses among single coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.



As the population ages, physicians are increasingly required to make decisions concerning patients with multiple co-existing illnesses (comorbidity). Many trials of CAD therapy have excluded patients with significant comorbidity, such that there are limited data to guide the management of those patients.



To consider the long-term prognostic importance of comorbid illness, we examined a cohort of 1471 patients with CAD who underwent cardiac catheterization between 1985 and 1989 and were followed up through 2000 in the Duke Databank for Cardiovascular Diseases. Weights were assigned to individual diseases according to their prognostic significance in Cox proportional hazards models, thus creating a new CAD-specific index. The new index was compared with the widely used Charlson index, according to prevalence of conditions, individual and overall associations with survival, and agreement.



The Charlson index and the CAD-specific index were highly associated with long-term survival and almost equivalent to left ventricular ejection fraction. When considering the components of the Charlson index, diabetes, renal insufficiency, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and peripheral vascular disease had greater prognostic significance among CAD patients, whereas peptic ulcer disease, connective tissue disease, and lymphoma were less significant. Hemiplegia, leukemia, lymphoma, severe liver disease, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome were rarely identified among patients undergoing coronary angiography.



Comorbid disease is strongly associated with long-term survival in patients with CAD. These data suggest co-existing illnesses should be measured and considered in clinical trials, disease registries, quality comparisons, and counseling of individual patients.
On the muon capture in 28^Si and extraction of g_P

Comparison of the new data for the negative muon capture in 28^Si with the recent shell model calculations using a full 1s-0d model space and the USD empirical effective interaction and the one-nucleon weak current provides the induced pseudoscalar g_P substantially smaller than the value predicted by PCAC and pion-pole dominance. We find that adding the effect from the one-pion exchange axial charge density and using the same scheme of calculations does not change situation to the value of g_P.
Using Physical Context for Just-in-Time Information Retrieval

Jimminy is a wearable personal note-taking and note-archival application that automatically displays notes that might be relevant to the wearer in his current environment. The system selects old notes to show on a head-up display based on the wearer's current location, people in the immediate area, and the subject-line and contents of any current notes being written. This paper describes an experiment that evaluates the usefulness of the wearer's physical context (location and people in the area) for automatically finding useful archived information. The results suggest that, while physical context can be used to discover useful archived notes, the subject and text of notes currently being entered are a much better indicator of usefulness in the personal note-taking domain.
Relating first-order set theories, toposes and categories of classes

This paper introduces Basic Intuitionistic Set Theory BIST, and investigates it as a rst-order set theory extending the internal logic of elementary toposes. Given an elementary topos, together with the extra structure of a directed structural system of inclusions (dssi) on the topos, a forcing-style interpretation of the language of rst-order set theory in the topos is given, which conservatively extends the internal logic of the topos. This forcing interpretation applies to an arbitrary elementary topos, since any such is equivalent to one carrying a dssi. We prove that the set theory BIST+ Coll (where Coll is the strong Collection axiom) is sound and complete relative to forcing interpretations in toposes with natural numbers object (nno). Furthermore, in the case that the structural system of inclusions is superdirected, the full Separation schema is modelled. We show that all cocomplete and realizability toposes can (up to equivalence) be endowed with such superdirected systems of inclusions. A large part of the paper is devoted to an alternative notion of categorytheoretic model for BIST, which, following the general approach of Joyal and Moerdijk’s Algebraic Set Theory, axiomatizes the structure possessed by categories of classes compatible with BIST. We prove soundness and completeness results for BIST relative to the class-category semantics. Furthermore,
