A Phylogenetic Study of the Arracacia Clade (Apiaceae)
… clade (i.e., Arracacia, Prionosciadium, and Rhodosciadium) are polyphyletic. Given this evidence and historically that these taxa have been difficult to circumscribe, a thorough examination of the clade using molecular and morphological data is warranted. This dissertation seeks to address …

<p><em>The True Cost </em>is a short novel set in a pre-dystopian society. The novel centers around three siblings: Lyle, Bridget, and Paul, along with their friend Reid. The group is living in the middle of an eighty-four-year war that has destroyed their society. Shortly before his murder, Jerry …

Dade's Conjecture for the McLaughlin Simple Group
… with counting characters in the blocks of finite groups. Specifically, Dade's so-called Ordinary Conjecture asserts that if a finite group G has trivial p-core, and B is a p-block of G of positive defect, then the number k(B,d) of complex irreducible characters with fixed defect d belonging to B …

SimPhony : voice group communication
… becomes more necessary. This is particularly true in "non-traditional" workplaces like factories or hospitals. Cell phones, PDA's, and walkie-talkies provide the mobility and most are easy to use, however, they are not designed specifically with the workplace in mind and as a result, they do …

Homology of Group Von Neumann Algebras
… paper the following conjecture is studied: the group von Neumann algebra N(G) is a flat CG-module if and only if the group G is locally virtually cyclic. This paper proves that if G is locally virtually cyclic, then N(G) is flat as a CG-module. The converse is proved for the class of all …

Characterizing Zero Divisors of Group Rings
… certain topological invariants attached to a group 𝐺. There are examples showing that the conjecture does not hold in general. These examples involve something like the lamplighter group (the wreath product ℤ/2ℤ ≀ ℤ). We are interested in looking at examples where this is not the case. We are …

On mobs with certain group-like properties
Topological groupoids with"approximate" inverses are studied. In the compact case, these"approximate" inverses turn out to be true inverses. Examples of groupoids wL:h"approximate" inverses are given in the section dealing with function spaces. Using the classical construction of Haar as a guide, …

Fear of Crime Through the Ears of a Murderino: The Effect of True Crime Podcasts on Fear of Crime
… among a sample of individuals who listen to true crime podcasts. An online survey was used to gauge respondents' levels of fear of crime before and after listening to a true crime audio podcast entitled <em>My Favorite Murder</em>. The survey also included items designed to measure some …

Sparse group sufficient dimension reduction and covariance cumulative slicing estimation

THE IMPACT OF ANCHOR ITEM EXPOSURE ON MEAN/SIGMA LINKING AND IRT TRUE SCORE EQUATING UNDER THE NEAT DESIGN
To compare examinees' true ability and their actual competence on the content being measured across different test administrations, test scores must be equated. One of the most common equating designs is called the nonequivalent anchor test (NEAT) design. This equating design requires two forms of …

Quantization of prior probabilities in Bayesian group decision-making
