Title: Rethinking Categorical Distinction in Warfare.

Abstract/Description: This thesis will prove that no conflict is purely “conventional.” In the same fashion, unconventional methods often referred to by practitioners and academics alike will be shown to be non-mutually exclusive in nature regarding the tactics used. The objective is to counter extant arguments that conflicts may be labelled as traditional or non-traditional.

Show moreThis thesis will prove that no conflict is purely “conventional.” In the same fashion, unconventional methods often referred to by practitioners and academics alike will be shown to be non-mutually exclusive in nature regarding the tactics used. The objective is to counter extant arguments that conflicts may be labelled as traditional or non-traditional. Rather, armed conflict is currently, has always been, and will always be carried out between blurred lines of categorical distinction. Three arguments are proposed at the beginning of the project. The first argument is that “unconventional warfare,” as it is generally referred to, has more often than not been the norm throughout the history of conflict. The second argument is that “conventional warfare,” in contrast to unconventional warfare, does not actually exist in isolation. The third, and final, argument is that proposed typologies of unconventional warfare are not mutually exclusive in categorical distinction. A qualitative approach was utilized. To prove the argument, agreed upon “doctrines” pertaining to each typology of war were examined in order to compare and contrast each archetype. In addition, instances of the tactics used were extrapolated from several wars as case studies to provide real-world examples of how tactics from each respective “type” of war often overlap, proving their non-exclusivity.

Show moreThe widely known vocabulary gap between health consumers and healthcare professionals hinders information seeking and health dialogue of consumers on end-user health applications. The Open Access and Collaborative Consumer Health Vocabulary (OAC CHV), which contains health-related terms used by lay consumers, has been created to bridge such a gap. Specifically, the OAC CHV facilitates consumers' health information retrieval by enabling consumer-facing health applications to translate between professional language and consumer friendly language. To keep up with the constantly evolving medical knowledge and language use, new terms need to be identified and added to the OAC CHV. User-generated content on social media, including social question and answer (social Q&A) sites, afford us an enormous opportunity in mining consumer health terms. Existing methods of identifying new consumer terms from text typically use ad-hoc lexical syntactic patterns and human review. Our study extends an existing method by extracting n-grams from a social Q&A textual corpus and representing them with a rich set of contextual and syntactic features. Using K-means clustering, our method, simiTerm, was able to identify terms that are both contextually and syntactically similar to the existing OAC CHV terms. We tested our method on social Q&A corpora on two disease domains: diabetes and cancer. Our method outperformed three baseline ranking methods. A post-hoc qualitative evaluation by human experts further validated that our method can effectively identify meaningful new consumer terms on social Q&A. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Show moreOver the past several years there has been increased interest in the perceived and measured declines of critical thinking skills among college and university students. One possible factor in these changes is the consequences of policy decisions at the federal and state government levels that have resulted in institution wide policy decisions in colleges and universities. These policy decisions have affected department policies and faculty member behaviors. The connecting network of these policy decisions is explored using Institutional Theory. Funding decisions by the federal and state governments have reduced the proportion of money that colleges and universities receive from them. These government policies have resulted in administrative changes in colleges and universities. These university policies have affected hiring decisions and tenure criteria in their academic units. These unit level policies have resulted in an increased proportion of adjunct faculty. The unit level policies also have resulted in changes in time allocation among tenure track faculty members. Both of these faculty level changes have resulted in teaching faculty members who have less time to spend on class preparation, requiring long writing assignments, and essay exams. The reduction in course related activities that require extended and focused thinking by students could be a significant factor in reduced critical thinking skills.

Title: A Resampling Method Approach to Solving the Non-homogeneous Laplace's Equation.
Creator: McMillan, Andrew
Abstract/Description: In this paper, we study the non-homogeneous Laplace's equation on a rectangular domain using the Pseudospectral method coupled with the resampling method. The Pseudospectral method allows us to assume our solution is equal to some weighted summation and then define our solution on a quadrature grid. We then employ the method of resampling which allows us to map our differential operators onto the interior points of our domain and simplifies the algorithm for computing high order derivatives....
Show moreIn this paper, we study the non-homogeneous Laplace's equation on a rectangular domain using the Pseudospectral method coupled with the resampling method. The Pseudospectral method allows us to assume our solution is equal to some weighted summation and then define our solution on a quadrature grid. We then employ the method of resampling which allows us to map our differential operators onto the interior points of our domain and simplifies the algorithm for computing high order derivatives. Using the method of manufactured solutions, we assume a solution to our partial differential equation and construct a source term that matches this solution. We show that the method of resampling is a viable method in solving the non-homogeneous Laplace's equation with a sufficient rate of convergence.

Show moreNineteenth-century America is often reduced in our minds to little more than the Civil War, glossing over one of the most transformative periods in American history. Cities and communities nationwide, though particularly those in the South, saw recurrent conflict and revolt for decades before and after the war. New Orleans, itself heavily dependent upon the institution of slavery, is unique as it was affected by tensions rising not only in the United States, but elsewhere in the world. Newspapers served as major sources of information throughout the nineteenth century, and Louisianans’ reactions (or in some cases, the lack of a reaction) to pivotal events in the history of slavery speaks volumes. This project examines the responses of New Orleanians to Southern slave revolts and the tumultuous emancipation of French colonial slaves through the analysis of newspaper reports and personal accounts. To better understand these reactions, it is critical to recognize the dramatic effects the slave rebellion in the former French colony of Saint-Domingue from 1791 to 1804 had on the residents of New Orleans. The city itself remains ripe with French influence long after its time as French territory, and the memory of its slaveholding past is still palpable from the banks of the Mississippi River through the French Quarter and beyond. This project serves as a lens for the connection of Caribbean, European, and American history through the happenings in one location and reflecting Southern opinions on the Atlantic world from the Haitian Revolution to Reconstruction. The paranoia-ridden Southern mindset, constantly overshadowed by the fear of similar slave rebellions to those in Haiti, influenced not only the development of Louisiana and the rest of the United States, but the ways in which the history of slavery is studied and represented.

Show moreMany of the mechanisms involved in brain development are not definitively understood. This includes the mechanism by which the folds of the cerebral cortex, called gyri and sulci, are formed. This research adopts the Intermediate Progenitor Model, which emphasizes genetic chemical factor control. This model is based on a hypothesis that activation of radial glial cells produces intermediate progenitor cells that in turn correspond to gyral wall formation. In previous work, Toole and Hurdal developed two biomathematical models that use a Turing reaction-diffusion system on a prolate spheroid domain. These models examined the effect that different domain growth functions had on cortical folding pattern formation. In this research, we modify those models to utilize an oblate spheroid domain. By analyzing the role of various parameters, we seek to use this modified domain to model diseases such as holoprosencephaly and ventriculomegaly, which alter the shape of the lateral ventricle.

Title: A meal pattern and time-course analysis of estrogen receptor agonists.
Creator: Adams, Kia, Butler, Michael, Eckel, Lisa
Abstract/Description: Estradiol (E2) is an ovarian hormone that has a well-characterized anorexigenic effect in female animals that was originally believed to be mediated through the activation of nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs). However, recent studies from our lab and others have shown rapid anorexigenic effects after activation of membrane ERs (mERs), such as mER and G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER).

Show moreEstradiol (E2) is an ovarian hormone that has a well-characterized anorexigenic effect in female animals that was originally believed to be mediated through the activation of nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs). However, recent studies from our lab and others have shown rapid anorexigenic effects after activation of membrane ERs (mERs), such as mER and G-protein coupled estrogen receptor (GPER). The comparative action of the non-selective ER agonist, estradiol benzoate (EB), and the selective ER and GPER agonists PPT and G-1, respectively, is poorly understood. In the current study, we analyzed meal patterns after acute administration of each of these agonists in OVX female Long-Evans rats. Both PPT and G-1 produced rapid decreases in food intake within 2 and 1 h, respectively, with associated decreases in the size of the first meal following drug treatment. It was also determined that EB produces a prolonged anorexigenic effect, suppressing food intake for three days beginning 12 h after drug treatment. Overall, these findings provide additional evidence that activation of mERs alone is sufficient to decrease food intake and that mER agonists produce more rapid but more transient effects than the non-selective ER agonist EB.

Show moreThe public traditionally knows universities as places of academic enrichment for students. They are also home to groundbreaking discoveries, movements, and historical events that have dramatically shaped nations. With any academic institution, there is a historical narrative embedded in campus buildings and monuments. From the architectural design of an institution to the monuments placed on the campus grounds, these elements play a crucial role in communicating the history, heritage, and identity of an institution. This study analyzes four institutions for their use of architectural design and campus monuments to establish an institutional identity: the University of Cambridge, Florida State University, The University of Alabama, and Flagler College. Each university, with their unique histories and approach to campus design, provides a unique perspective in understanding how universities create a historical narrative through its campus. With an increase in the study of campus planning and campus heritage by both academic institutions and scholars, it is important to consider how the qualities of campus design are also methods used to create a cohesive institutional identity that remembers and celebrates how history impacted an institution and vice versa. With each building and monument on a university campus, there is the opportunity to showcase this history and utilize the past to shape the institution’s present and future identity.

Show moreWhile the effectiveness of using demonstrations to facilitate learning in science courses remains controversial, it is generally recognized that the “hands-on” building of physical models leads to a better understanding of the underlying scientific concepts. A recent study published in Nature Communications flips the relationship between learning and building, suggesting that teaching and language evolved to allow the skills of using tools to be passed to children, providing an important survival advantage for early hominoids. Work in our laboratory is aimed at encouraging collaborative interactions between science teachers and technical arts teachers in Florida’s secondary school system. We design, build, and test equipment that can be used to illustrate important scientific concepts, with the objective of using these projects as examples of what students could build for their schools. In addition to providing low-cost demonstrations and laboratory equipment to science teachers, and hopefully slowing the disappearance of “shop” from the secondary school curriculum, we believe that the construction of physical models will provide a tangible analogy for the construction of scientific models that we use to understand natural phenomena. Demonstrations are commonly used in chemistry and physics courses; however, the use of in-class demos in biology courses appears to be much less common. We present here several examples of simple apparatuses that illustrate scientific concepts important in biology and medicine with a focus on pressure systems.

Show moreClean and efficient energy-conversion systems for large-scale and residential use could reduce the detrimental impacts of fossil fuel consumption on the environment. Magnetocaloric materials hold the potential to move refrigerators from conventional vapor-compression cycles to energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly magnet-based refrigeration technology. The latter takes advantage of the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), a reversible temperature change of a material upon the application or removal of an external magnetic field. The major goal of this research is to discover materials that exhibit large MCE and contain nontoxic and abundant elements. The search for these materials is being guided by both computational efforts and extensive analysis of existing materials and modifications that can improve their properties. In this contribution, I report my investigation of CuFe2Ge2, Cu0.6Mn2.4Ge2, and LiFe6Ge6 as potential itinerant magnets and magnetocaloric materials. Synthesized samples were analyzed by electronic structure calculations, powder X-ray diffraction, and magnetic measurements. Preliminary findings revealed that LiFe6Ge6 does not show ferromagnetic behavior and thus cannot be used in magnetic refrigeration. The reasons for the lack of magnetic ordering are still to be determined. The Cu-Fe-Mn-Ge system revealed the formation of phases with structures related to Cu0.6Mn2.4Ge2 and CuFe2Ge2 for compositions close to these terminal members of the series. At the 1:1 Mn/Fe ratio, however, a new material has been produced that exhibits a superstructure of previously reported Cu1.6Mn20Ge10.4. The magnetic properties of these materials need further investigation.

Events which contained the proton and three-pion final state ($p\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$) were selected. Various cuts and an event-based quality factor determination was used for background subtraction. Monte Carlo simulations were then preformed to determine acceptance corrections for the cross section. These results will have a significant impact on partial wave analysis that aims on extracting nucleon resonances from photoproduction data.

Due to the lack of coverage spies in general receive in the historiography of World War II, many people outside of academia become exposed to spies via Hollywood. Here, I will discuss how this type of exposure changes how we as a society think of espionage both in the past and the present. Depictions of other eras of espionage will also receive some discussion, in order to better understand the effects of popular media covering female espionage during World War II.

Show moreThroughout the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, local musicians composed and performed music to combat mistrust of and misinformation surrounding the disease. Many artists participated in Ebola music campaigns live and online, either through independent projects or through funding by the government or non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Previous research on public health music suggests that when musicians are sponsored by these Western-based NGOs, their creative processes become entangled with larger development agendas, many of which implement neoliberal capitalist ideologies rooted in globalization and neocolonialism (Morin 2012; Pier 2015). I argue that in spite of these transient financial opportunities presented by Western aid projects, local independent initiatives offer a valuable yet overlooked method of knowledge dissemination, demonstrating great opportunity to promote local arts familiar to indigenous communities. Drawing on lyrical and structural analysis of Internet songs, as well as participant-observation of concerts and oral history collection with local musicians in Conakry, Guinea, I deconstruct how these artists and production teams responded to the Ebola crisis while seeking to preserve their sociocultural identities in an increasingly globalized world.

Show moreTechnology adoption rates of older adults typically lag behind those of their younger counterparts; a digital divide. This is unfortunate because technology has many potential benefits for older people. Among older adults, attitudes and cognitive abilities predict computer and Internet adoption, use, and proficiency. However, an important trend over the past two decades has been the rise of mobile computing (specifically with respect to smartphones and tablet computers). High quality interactions with mobile technology critically depend upon individuals’ technology proficiency, making it important to understand how mobile device proficiency might be anticipated. This paper explored predictors of mobile device proficiency among older adults (65+) using a dataset from a cognitive intervention study that included 60 participants. Measures of computer and mobile device proficiency were obtained. Demographic variables and assessments of reasoning ability, processing speed, and executive control were collected and explored as predictors of mobile device proficiency. Even within this older adult sample, mobile device proficiency was related to age, but contrary to predictions, cognition was not significantly related to mobile device proficiency; the strongest predictor of mobile device proficiency was computer proficiency. This implies some transfer of proficiency from one technology platform to another. These results have implications for predicting quality technology interactions given the link between interaction quality and technology proficiency.

I believe that by painting these vacant spaces, I created a platform onto which a viewer could project their own experiences and recollections. Within this paper I aim to situate my paintings within a contemporary framework, while referencing theoretical psychological academic writings and historical references. Through a formal analysis, I will explain how elements such as color, perspective, surface, and materiality play a role within the conceptual idea of the work. I place my paintings within an academic context by examining some of the psychological literature that address autobiographical memory, memory creation, recollection, and inherent bias of memory. Last, I will explain how the work is in dialogue with other artists and how their work influenced this series. I believe that by understanding the way in which memory has been examined so far through an academic lens, I can better illustrate memories and how they work. I hope to create a series of landscapes that catapult the viewer into an introspective journey.

Show moreThis study tested the association between romantic partners’ growth beliefs and their use of negative direct communication strategies, rather than negative indirect communication strategies, when discussing problems in their relationship. Because of the benefits associated with the use of direct strategies when discussing relationship problems (i.e., clarification of the problem, motivation to resolve problem), we predicted that spouses with growth beliefs would be more likely to use direct communication strategies during conflict discussions. Ultimately, we predicted that the use of direct communication strategies would result in higher relationship satisfaction for spouses with a growth mindset. These predictions were tested using a behavioral study of 120 couples, during which newlywed spouses reported their implicit theories about relationships and participated in conflict discussions. Moderated mediational analyses revealed that spouses with growth beliefs (compared to spouses with destiny beliefs) were not more likely to employ direct communication strategies during conflict discussions. Moreover, the use of direct strategies did not account for any differences in relationship satisfaction between partners with fixed and growth mindsets.

Title: What Predicts the Moralized Perception of Self-Sacrifice?: Clarifying the Roles of Fusion and Moral Dilemma Decision-Making.
Creator: Polacek, David Aaron
Abstract/Description: Why do people sacrifice themselves for others? According to identity fusion theory, people are most willing to sacrifice themselves to save others when they experience a visceral sense of oneness with the group. This entails strong emotional concern for group member well-being. Conversely, people low in fusion may still occasionally choose to sacrifice for the group, but not for emotional reasons—instead, because they endorse abstract generalized utilitarian ethical principles that require...
Show moreWhy do people sacrifice themselves for others? According to identity fusion theory, people are most willing to sacrifice themselves to save others when they experience a visceral sense of oneness with the group. This entails strong emotional concern for group member well-being. Conversely, people low in fusion may still occasionally choose to sacrifice for the group, but not for emotional reasons—instead, because they endorse abstract generalized utilitarian ethical principles that require people to maximize overall outcomes for others regardless of group membership. Although initial evidence supports this claim, it is restricted to self-report measures. The current work applies process dissociation to assess individual differences in affective reactions to harm and cognitive evaluations of outcomes on classic moral dilemmas where harming a stranger saves other strangers. I will examine whether these processes predict the moralized perception of self-sacrifice.

Show moreThis project investigated how macrostructure story language use varies among 3-to-5- year-old preschool children when told to retell the story “Billy Bear & the Balloon”. The goal was to see what macrostructure elements children this age use in their story retellings, and furthermore, at what frequency they use them. This was done by having the participants each watch the short movie “Billy Bear & the Balloon”, then retell the story while the clinician collected their language sample using a simple recording device. The language samples were then transcribed and coded for each macrostructure element being investigated. Upon examination of their coded language samples, it became clear that there is a potential relationship between both story language use and age, and story language use and gender. This research highlights the importance of awareness of story language use norms, particularly as dependent on both age and gender, as deviation from the norm could indicate a potential language impairment that needs to be addressed in clinical therapy.

Show morePlants and animals that are simultaneous hermaphrodites and have short dispersal distances have a high potential for inbreeding. Simultaneous hermaphrodites have the potential to self-fertilize, and short dispersal distances increase the chance of mating with kin. Hermaphroditism, self-fertilization, and inbreeding have been studied extensively in plants, but very little is known about the extent to which they increase or decrease fitness in animals. In particular, the degree to which bryozoans produce viable offspring through self-fertilization or other forms of inbreeding remains unresolved. Therefore, I assessed the patterns and consequences of larval settlement and inbreeding in Bugula neritina, an arborescent marine bryozoan. The overall research objective was to examine the consequences of mating with self, kin, and unrelated individuals through manipulative laboratory experiments where colonies were reared in the lab with different mating partners. There were three treatments: 1) a dish with a single settler (solitary treatment), 2) a dish with settlers from parents collected within 3m of each other (near treatment), and 3) a dish with two settlers from parents collected within 300m of each other (far treatment). There were no differences in the growth rate of colonies between the treatments after two weeks, but colonies in the solitary treatment were larger than in the near and far treatments after seven weeks. The proportion of colonies with unfertilized ovicells, and the total number of unfertilized ovicells per colony, at week seven did not differ between treatments, suggesting that zooids had become female and were capable of supporting an embryo. However, colonies grown in isolation never produced fertilized ovicells, but colonies grown with another colony produced fertilized ovicells and viable offspring (i.e., a next generation of settlers). Based on this evidence, it was concluded that B. neritina does not self-fertilize. Furthermore, short dispersal distances (~3m) in the field might not have negative effects on subsequent mating success in the population studied. An important next step is to repeat this experiment and genotype both parents and offspring to determine whether self-fertilization occurs in the paired colonies, as might occur if extrinsic sperm cues trigger sperm release. Together, these results contribute to a better understanding of mating systems in sessile marine invertebrates.

Title: Malleability of Measures of Cognitive Ability.

Show more“Brain training” claims have been the subject of many recent investigations. Proponents of brain training believe that practicing simple cognitive exercises or gamified versions of these exercises can result in improvements not just to the practiced task, but to other tasks and abilities as well. This has been termed “transfer of training.” For example, Jaeggi, Buschkuehl, Jonides, and Perrig (2008) have claimed that since working memory is vital to the performance of many different tasks, practicing working memory tasks can result in generalizable benefits. To test this idea, they had some participants practice working memory tasks while other participants received no training. At the end of the study, those participants who practiced the working memory task (a dual-N back task, to be described later) improved on two measures of fluid intelligence (Gf) while the control group did not. This finding received a great deal of attention due to previously accepted assumptions that Gf is static and cannot be improved. Similarly, Dahlin, Nyberg, Bäckman, and Neely (2008) found evidence for transfer of training as long as the practiced task and the transfer task appeared to share common neural circuits. In this fMRI study, practicing one working memory tasked improved the performance of other tasks to the extent that the practiced task and the transfer tasked relied on the striatum. Based on these and other results, some scientists argue that training can target certain cognitive abilities and neural circuits, resulting in the improved performance of other tasks that depend on overlapping abilities and circuits.

Abstract/Description: Epstein Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus that is carried by 90% percent of adults and can cause Hodgkin's and Burkitt's lymphoma among other cancers. EBV hijacks the machinery of the host cell in order to produce proteins, DNA, RNAs, and viral particles. In context of cancer, EBV has been shown to regulate cell migration, metastasis, and cell proliferation.

Show moreEpstein Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpesvirus that is carried by 90% percent of adults and can cause Hodgkin's and Burkitt's lymphoma among other cancers. EBV hijacks the machinery of the host cell in order to produce proteins, DNA, RNAs, and viral particles. In context of cancer, EBV has been shown to regulate cell migration, metastasis, and cell proliferation. The EBV oncoprotein Latent Membrane Protein 1, LMP1, has been found in the extracellular vesicles of endosomal origin called exosomes secreted by cancer cells latently infected with EBV. Secretion of LMP1 and other viral factors from cells is a possible way to manipulate the physiology of nearby cells. Previous proteomic analyses of exosomes from latently infected lymphoma cell lines found numerous proteins to be altered due to EBV infection with many of the changes correlating with LMP1 expression in the exosome producing cells. Therefore, our hypothesis is that LMP1 is a major driver of the components and functions of exosomes released from infected cells. To test this, we purified exosomes from the conditioned media of cells expressing LMP1 using polyethylene glycol precipitation combined with Optiprep density gradients. The purified exosomes proteins were then solubilized, separated by SDS-PAGE, and digested by in-gel trypsin digestion. The resulting peptides were identified via liquid chromatography combined with electron spray ionization mass spectrometry and relative quantities of proteins were determined by spectral count-based quantitative proteomics. Differentially expressed proteins were then confirmed by western blot analysis. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the contributions of LMP1 expression to exosome content that may be important for EBV oncogenesis.

The researcher utilized a stratified sampling method to create a sample of 700 hotels within the United States. With assistance from TravelClick, the researcher acquired room rates from these hotels. To obtain results, repeated-measures ANOVA was run to test main channel effect, two-way interaction, and three-way interaction. The findings indicated a significant effect for days, days x class, days x channel and days x channel x class. It was also found that price parity exists between the direct and indirect channels. However, by examining each hotel class, it was determined that price dispersion is prominently present across booking days. At 14 days prior to arrival, price dispersion was found to be the highest. These results have managerial implications for hotel revenue managers. Our results clearly indicate that room rates differ depending on the class of the hotel and the amount of booking days prior to arrival. In developing their pricing strategies, they must be conscious of this information and manage their channels and room rates accordingly.

Title: Seasonal changes in male size and alternative mating tactics in sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna).

Show moreIn many taxa, individuals display discrete variation in both morphology and behavior. Although these “alternative tactics” are relatively common, their maintenance within populations has yet to be adequately explained. A first step in addressing this question is to describe how behavior changes within a population over time. Sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna) are a livebearing fish that show extreme variation in mature male size and reproductive behavior. Adult male size is genetically determined but highly variable within populations, and reproductive behavior covaries with genetically-determined size. Large males display courtship behavior, small males use sneaking behavior, and males in the middle of the size distribution exhibit behavioral plasticity that depends on the social context. Large males also mature more slowly than small males, so the size distribution of adult males within a population can vary dramatically over time. To determine if temporal variation and behavioral plasticity could play a role in maintaining these polymorphisms, we asked if individual male behavior covaries with the male body size distribution across seasons within a population. We censused the population and recorded the size of males, females and juveniles monthly from February 2015 to January 2017. A subset of males, from fish censused in June and October 2015-2016, was brought to the lab to assess reproductive behavior towards a receptive female. We found that the male size distribution varied seasonally; males were largest in the fall and winter, and smallest in late spring and summer. Standard length and its interaction with season significantly affected the male rate of courtship displays, but not sneaking behavior or gonoporal nibbles. This result suggests that changes in individual male behavior track the male size distribution within populations, recapitulating a pattern that has been shown across populations.
