Visual attention shifting in autism spectrum disorder
… To investigate a potential deficit in attention shifting underlying a variety of observed attentional abnormalities in ASD, the present study employed experimental paradigms requiring attentional shifting at two levels of visual information processing. Aims of the current study were (1) to …

Non-Photic Phase Shifting: Acetylcholine and Arousal
… should also participate in non-photic phase shifting. Neurotransmission of acetylcholine (ACh) is involved in bringing about arousal and also has been shown to play a role in the circadian system. The purpose of these experiments was to determine if ACh plays a role in non-photic phase …

Shifting personal brandscapes: young sojourners’ consumer acculturation
This thesis explores additional acculturation agents and forces for young sojourners. In particular, this research focuses on how individual sojourners’ consumer-brand relationships and personal brandscapes shift as result of temporary mobility. In addition, the impacts of the individual’s sojourn …

Multi-theme sentiment analysis with sentiment shifting
… sentiment in different themes, and the sentiment shifting resulting from linguistic patterns---contextual valence shifters. To simultaneously resolve the multi-theme and sentiment shifting dilemma, a unified explainable sentiment analysis model, MTSA, is proposed in this paper, which enables both …

XPD Helicase: Shifting the Inchworm Into Reverse
Directional translocation by helicases results in duplex separation and displacement of bound proteins which allows for the DNA processing events associated with DNA repair, replication, recombination, and transcription. Unresolved questions regarding DNA helicases include: (1) how is directional …

Species response to shifting and variable climates
Evidence has been accumulating that suggests some arcto-boreal plant taxa persisted through the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Alaska and adjacent Canada. In part, my dissertation investigated the spatial patterns of glacial persistence and postglacial colonization of an alder (Alnus) species …

Broadband pin diode switching and phase shifting
Investigation into the limitations on the bandwidth of PIN diode switches in their different configurations is performed. The Single Pole Double Throw switch constructed with shunt mounted PIN diodes is shown to be bandlimited due to the line lengths involved in the operation. Series mounted diode …

Shape-shifting: Reimaging mothering and mother-being
Based on my lived experience, this body of work reimages the representation of mothering, motherbeing and the space in between through a visual exploration within photography.

Building shape-shifting tries for fast IP lookup
… capable of handling IPv6 routing tables. Shape Shifting Trie (SST) is specifically designed to be scalable to IPv6. To reduce the worst case lookup time that is proportional to the height of SST, it is desirable to construct a minimumheight SST. Breadth-First Pruning (BFP) algorithm takes …
