Show moreAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects 1in 44 children and is characterized by impairments in cognitive, behavioral, and social domains of functioning. Literature suggests that ASD not only impacts the quality of life of the individuals diagnosed with this condition, but also has a negative impact on family quality of life (FQoL). Interventions and services offered through the Medicaid 1915(c) Home and Community-Based Services waiver programs can enhance child and family outcomes. The present study looked at one specific waiver program, the Maryland ASD waiver, and examined the frequency at which families received different waiver services and the associations between those service frequencies and child (i.e., academic performance, independent living skills, social communication and interaction skills, stereotypic and repetitive behavior, and aggressive behavior) and family (i.e., FQoL) outcomes, as well as explored whether the family’s perception of choice and control mediate these child and family outcomes. Results suggest that frequencies of some waiver services are associated with progress in some child outcomes, but not in FQoL. This study also suggests that the choice and control that families have over services do not mediate the relation between frequency of waiver services and child and family outcomes. Overall, results suggest that the Maryland ASD waiver program may help improve some domains of child functioning.

Show moreA coloring $f: V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb N$ of a graph $G$ is said to be \emph{distinguishing} if no non-identity automorphism preserves every vertex color. The distinguishing number, $D(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that there exists a distinguishing coloring $f: V(G)\rightarrow [k]$ and was introduced by Albertson and Collins in their paper ``Symmetry Breaking in Graphs.'' By restricting what kinds of colorings are considered, many variations of distinguishing numbers have been studied. In this paper, we study proper list-colorings of graphs which are also distinguishing and investigate the choice-distinguishing number $\text{ch}_D(G)$ of a graph $G$. Primarily, we focus on the choice-distinguishing number of Cartesian products of graphs. We determine the exact value of $\text{ch}_D(G)$ for lattice graphs and prism graphs and provide an upper bound on the choice-distinguishing number of the Cartesian products of two relatively prime graphs, assuming a sufficient condition is satisfied. We use this result to bound the choice distinguishing number of toroidal grids and the Cartesian product of a tree with a clique. We conclude with a discussion on how, depending on the graphs $G$ and $H$, we may weaken the sufficient condition needed to bound $\text{ch}_D(G\square H)$.

Title: Synthesis and Photophysical Characterization of Novel Organic Triplet Donor–Acceptor Dyads for Light-Harvesting/Modulation Application

Show moreDonor–acceptor chromophoric systems (D–A) are important scaffolds for several light-harvesting/initiated processes and devices, including light-emitting diodes, photo-catalytic/redox systems, and photovoltaic cells. It has been hypothesized that for efficient photophysical processes (viz. energy/charge-transfer or excited-state interactions); it is ideal to tether the donor and acceptor chromophores into molecular dyads. To this end, I devised and synthesized several dyads by tethering an organic triplet energy donor and various polyaromatic chromophores (e.g., perylene derivatives and anthracene derivatives) onto a conjugated-/non-conjugated-linker (phenylene- and triptycene- linker, respectively). During the 4-5 years of my Ph.D., I synthesized a total of five (5) dyads: o–, p–3, and dyads 3–5. These systems were fully characterized using different spectroscopy tools/techniques. The spectroscopy investigations of the dyads have allowed me to decipher two important energy transfer pathways: through-bond and through-space with the phenylene linker and only through-space energy with the triptycene linker. Furthermore, the investigations led to the discovery that geometrical features such as face-to-face (co-facial) or slip-stacked interactions between the donor and acceptors chromophores might dictate the dynamic/kinetic of light-induced energy transfer in the dyads. Findings from my graduate research project paved the way for developing molecular engineering studies for light-harvesting/modulation applications.Subsequently, I was able to employ the dyads of my interest to achieve intramolecular and intermolecular triplet energy transfer (TEnT) triplet-triplet annihilation-based photon upconversion (TTA-PUC).

Show moreBirge and Zhang (2018) reported that combining common factors models with functions of the default risk improves models' performance to explain stock returns. Default risk contains firm specific information and may help to explain momentum premium that compensates investors for the firm specific risk exposures. In this paper, we confirmed that the forward-looking measure of default risk, as proposed by Birge and Zhang (2018), seems to capture some pricing information in the momentum premium. This provides an alternative to explain the underlying risks associated with the momentum strategy.

Show moreThe goal of this study is to establish an objective, user-friendly, and reliable decision support system, called delay analysis selection and implementation system (DASIS), which allows delay analysts and practitioners in the construction industry to select a type of delay analysis that is most appropriate for given conditions and to perform the selected type of delay analysis. DASIS integrates a delay analysis selection system (DASS) module and an implementation module (DAIS) that performs the type of delay analysis selected by DASS in construction projects.The model that operates the DASS module consists of (1) four different delay analysis approaches currently available to practitioners; (2) a set of 26 attributes that affect the selection of a type of delay analysis; (3) a case-base involving 3,776 cases described by these 26 attributes and their corresponding output values (i.e., the most appropriate delay analysis approach); (4) a set of 7 categories consisting of subsets of attributes; (5) the weights of the attributes and the categories; and (6) a spreadsheet designed in Microsoft Excel that performs the calculations involved in case-based similarity assessment. The implementation module is a computerized analytics and automation platform that performs the type of delay analysis selected by DASS. In developing the DASS module, 26 attributes that influence the selection of the most appropriate type of delay analysis were identified based on a thorough literature review and were organized in seven categories. These attributes were used to evaluate the four types of delay analysis (i.e., static, dynamic, additive, and subtractive analyses). Based on the results of this evaluation, a case-base of 3,776 cases was generated while considering the constraints of each category. The weights of the attributes and categories were determined by using several methods. To determine the best-fit between a target case (defined by its 26 attributes) and the 3,776 cases stored in the case-base were used to perform a case-based similarity assessment to calculate weighted case similarity scores, and to find the best-informed solution to the delay analysis type selection problem. In developing the DAIS module, the four types of delay analysis were coded in Microsoft Excel using macros programmed in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). This automated tool performs the selected delay analysis by DASS. The fully integrated DASIS model finds the best-fit match between a target case and cases stored in the case-base by means of similarity assessment methods by using weighted case similarity scores, hence identifying the most appropriate type of delay analysis for use in the target case, performs the selected type of delay analysis and generates a report about the results of the delay analysis to the analyst instantaneously, allowing the contractual parties to settle the issues quickly. This study is the first attempt to establish an objective decision support system (DASS) to assist delay analysts by automating the selection of a type of delay analysis using combinations of well recognized and reliable attributes and similarity assessment techniques. In addition, DASS is immediately followed by DAIS in an integrated system (DASIS) that does not only do the selection of the most appropriate type of delay analysis, but that also implements the selected delay analysis, hence providing ease of use and high speed. A case study based on fictitious scenarios is presented to demonstrate and validate the research approach. The use of the entropy weight method to calculate the weights of the attributes can be considered a minor limitation of the study. Finally, DASIS can be reformulated as a web-based application that allows analysts to work online using ordinary browsers anywhere and anytime.
