Engineering Students at Typically Invisible Transition Points: A Focus on Admissions and the Sophomore Year
<p>As of 2012, women are approximately 19% of all engineering undergraduate students nationally (American Society for Engineering Education, 2012). Women's representation in engineering has not changed significantly over the last 20 years, despite increased attention, increased funding, and …

Predicting and identifying signs of criticality near neuronal phase transition
This thesis examines the critical transitions between distinct neural states associated with the transition to neuron spiking and with the induction of anaesthesia. First, mathematical and electronic models of a single spiking neuron are investigated, focusing on stochastic subthreshold dynamics on …

Cancer : emotional experiences
… structured by a sequential framework of four key transition points within the cancer journey, and the emotional experiences synthesised within each one. The temporal transition points were: Being diagnosed and facing treatment; Getting rid of cancer; Changed body and stigma; Reflections on the …

Lattice Statistics Of Polymer Adsorption
… by a lattice animal, we prove that a phase transition exists when such an animal interacts with a surface. The transition points are numerically studied by one and two variable Pade approximants. A number of rigorous results for the statistics of lattice animals are also obtained.

Globally -Coordinated Locally-Linear Modeling of Multi-Dimensional Data
… can be performed without using specific transition points, or key frames.

Large Scale Hydrodynamic Simulations of Emulsions and Foams
… their study exhibited no disorder to order transitions, deviation from homogenous linear shear, or formation of thin liquid films. Though the results of the present study come from a two-dimensional model, real systems will exhibit the same qualitative behavior; however, the transition …

Cell cycle dynamics and the physiology of saxitoxin biosynthesis in Alexandrium fundyense (Dinophyceae)
… cycle dynamics suggests the existence of two transition points: one at the beginning of G1, which is light-dependent and holds the cells in a Go-like period, and a second one at the end of G1, which is size-dependent and arrests the cells in G1. A model of the cell cycle of A. fundyense is …

Tracing parametrized optima for inequality constrained nonlinear minimization problems
… of the algorithm is a capability of handling the transition points between segments in a routine way. The algorithm locates the transition points, and finds an active set for the next segment by considering all possible sets of active constraints. The nonoptimal sets are eliminated on the basis of …

Multiple thresholds and many-atom dynamics in the cavity QED microlaser
… thresholds analogous to first-order phase transitions of the cavity field. Hysteresis is observed as a function of atom-cavity detuning and number of atoms. Data is compared with a rate equation model and fully quantized treatment based on micromaser theory. Good agreement between theory …

Evaluation of Speech And Text-Based Indexing For Classroom Lecture Videos
… a topic within video lectures by providing index points representing the topic. These index points are generated using text from the extracted images using OCR (optical character recognition) technology. Index points are assigned with the assistance of an indexing algorithm that determines topic …

Numerical and Analytical Methods in Low-Dimensional Strongly Correlated Quantum Systems
… It addresses universal behaviors and phase transitions, exemplified by the phenomenon of multiversality. Specifically, the transition from a 1D Luttinger liquid to a charge density wave insulator, characterized by partly Kosterlitz-Thouless transition and partly Ising transition, is analyzed …

The role and contribution of the Chief Technology Officer
… derived for use in conjunction with ‘technology transition points’. The CTO/Context Framework has 20 sub-elements that support 6 primary elements including, ‘technology management infrastructure’, ‘technology entry/exit points’, ‘technology business case & funding’, ‘operational improvement’, …

Utilizing constructivist grounded theory to understand the experiences of students on academic probation
… 19 participants, there are a myriad of shared transition points, or moments where academic advisors, practitioners in retention, faculty, and student affairs partners can intervene to influence student academic performance. By understanding the conceptual framework for first-year students on …

A tribological study of the interaction between surface micro texturing and viscoelastic lubricants
… shifting the entire Stribeck curve so that the transition points between lubrication regimes are delayed or induced by as much as an order of magnitude of the Gumbel number, depending on the lubricant and running conditions. Focusing next on the effect of lubricant rheology on sliding friction …

Supportless Fabrication, Experimental, and Numerical Analysis of the Physical Properties for a Thin-Walled Hemisphere
… Large surface irregularities are noticed at the transition points between partitions, which escalates the roughness values drastically in the region. The sudden alteration of the tool orientation between partitions causes these surface irregularities. Additionally, process planning, data …

Modeling and Manufacturing of Dynamic Vocal Folds: First Steps Towards an Active Voice-Box Prosthesis
… linear and nonlinear elastic regions as well as transition points between those regions. Next, the impact of the vocal fold elastic properties on the frequencies of vibration was evaluated through dynamic tests on excised porcine larynges. Sound data was analyzed via a spectrogram and through the …

Using pedometers to explore the physical activities that children want to do, and teachers want to implement: a mixed method case study
… playtime, integrating additional movement into transition points and participating in more regular and intensive ‘Daily Miles’. Teachers supported movement by implementing active lessons flexibly to suit their own timetable, adding movement breaks into transition points, allowing children to …

To explore outstanding teaching potential in early career teachers on their personal and professional journey to becoming newly qualified teachers
… period including documentation collected at key transition points throughout the training year. A culminating semi-structured interview produced an illustrated timeline of the year charting participants’ increase or decrease in confidence in the training environment with time. A similar time-line …

Student teachers' decision-making about working at Masters level on their PGCE courses
… for such research has largely been at key transition points such as secondary school choice and entry to Higher Education. A key question has been the extent to which decisions are influenced by the structuring effects of social class and cultural background or individual agency. This study …

Granular flow modelling of rotating drum flows using positron emission particle tracking
… capture all phases of the tumbling mill flow at transition points that match leading experimental findings reported in the literature. Limiting our models to athermal boundary conditions, we then derive the power density for better understanding of flow dissipation that ultimately drives the …
