Show moreIn the past, the knowledge base for effective teaching was measured based on presage variables, methods of teaching, process-product research, competency-based teacher education, and professional decision-making. In addition, teachers’ effectiveness has been measured indirectly using proxy measurement. For example, teachers were assessed based on their performance on certification exams, their course, mathematical courses taken, and various experiences. Furthermore, teachers were measured based on students’ achievement tests, and using a pre-test and post-test model with limited knowledge of their development. This study aims to understand teacher mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT), its development over time, and how professional development influences their professional knowledge. Twenty middle school teachers (sixth through eighth grade) participated in content-based (algebra) professional development (PD) in Saudi Arabia. The selection pool of teachers targeted in the study is eighth (sixth grade) mathematics teachers that represented a variety of years of experience and PD experience. The results of this study found that teachers positively developed their MKT through the professional development program. In particular, based on the results of the pre-test, teachers had a low level of MKT before they participated in the PD program. Teachers’ developmental steps of their changes over time were captured during the PD via multiple interviews. These interviews revealed within-teacher themes, cross-teacher themes, and factors that impacted teachers’ changes. Furthermore, a paired sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the means of pre-test and post-test.

Show moreNatural gas from hydrates is extremely abundant as an energy resource; US resource-grade hydrate deposits are estimated to be over 20 times the domestic proved natural gas resources, at approximately 7000 trillion cubic feet (tcf). The theoretical potential of hydrates is immense, but production testing and research remain lacking, which has led to the development of numerous hydrate production numerical simulators for consolidated porous media hydrate reservoirs. However, due to the onset of unconsolidated flow behavior upon significant hydrate dissociation, numerical models haven’t agreed well with the experimental data from the Mallik production tests. Hydrate contributes substantially to the strength of the sediment matrix, such that hydrate-bearing sediment ultimately falls apart exhibiting 4-phase unconsolidated flow behavior of gas, water, hydrate, and sand. In order to better capture the multiphase flow characteristics of gas, water, hydrate, and sand in an unconsolidated gas hydrate reservoir, we have developed a novel 4-phase flow model coupled with numerical simulation of the Mallik 2007/2008 production tests. The model is able to capture the coupled 4-phase hydrodynamics, mass transfer, and heat transfer physics inherent to the unconsolidated hydrate reservoir. Solid deformation is modeled by extending multiphase and granular flow theory to hydrate-bearing sediment. Constitutive models for the solid viscosity and solid pressure are developed to model the change in strength of the sediment as hydrate dissociates and the solid deforms. The solid viscosity is a composite of frictional contributions from the solid normal stress and cohesive contributions from the hydrate. The interphase momentum exchange between the fluid phases (gas and water) and solid phases (hydrate and sand) modeled based on a volume-averaged approach that considers the formation and closure of high-permeability volumes due to dilation and compaction of hydrate-bearing sediment as it deforms. By considering the deformation of solids and the subsequent effect on the permeability, the 4-phase simulations showed good agreement with the experimental data from the Mallik 2007/2008 production phases. The 4-phase modeling approach serves as a proof of concept for the application of granular flow theory to hydrate-bearing sediment. An unconsolidated hydrate reservoir with sustained sand production essentially behaves like a naturally fracking reservoir, exhibiting a dramatic increase in permeability induced solely by depressurization. Conversely, preventing sand production with a sand screen ultimately leads to significant throttling of the gas production rate due to the compaction and accumulation of sand at the sand screen.

Show moreThis study mainly focuses on a series of topics within high frequency data of aprivate limit order book from NASDAQ. The interest of our research first comes from thefamous classical theory “Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH)”. Given the existence of aseparate market in which high frequency traders compete together under today’senvironment, we show that this market is quite adaptive rather than efficient since thestatistical quantity measuring market efficiency will have fluctuating values in differenttime point, confirmed in our study. Then we explore the linkage between high frequency cancelling activity and marketshort-term volatility (quote volatility). The findings for this topic until now are rather notconclusive yet. In our design, we first use Grange Causality test. It turns out realizedvolatility and cancelling activity granger cause each other, and cancelling activitycontributes tremendously to volatility forecasting. Then we fit our data in a generic ofARCH models to establish the predictability of realized volatility by cancellinginformation. Finally, we take advantage of the cancelling activity to predict real timetrading. We use the VIXY which is an ETF of VIX and focuses on short term performance.We find that the ask side of high frequency trading activities has far more significant impactfor both the level of VIXY and return of VIXY, while the bid side seems to be trivial. At last, we analyze the role of traded volume and trend in technical analysis. Theusefulness of technical analysis has been confirmed in the beginning part of this study byrejecting EMH, then a continuing topic for we to discuss is possible variables which couldcontribute to technical analysis. As known to finance literature, volume is frequently takento validify the trend of stock or discover the reversal of the trend. But now there is oppositeopinion maintaining that the role of volume has become trivial. Our findings complementprevious researches and confirm both the usefulness and the fading of such usefulness oftraded volume.

Show moreOvervaluation of shape and weight is a measure of the degree to which an individual’s self-evaluation is influenced by their shape and weight. Among individuals with eating disorders, this construct has been associated with elevated levels of eating pathology and psychological distress. Similarly, weight loss surgery candidates often report high levels of eating pathology, including loss of control eating, in addition to elevated levels of depression. Although studies have found poorer outcomes among those who endorse overvaluation of shape and weight in addition to loss of control eating as compared to those who deny overvaluation of shape and weight, the degree to which overvaluation of shape and weight is associated with disordered eating pathology, depression, psychosocial functioning, and self-esteem among weight loss surgery candidates has not been examined. The goals of the current study were to further elucidate these associations, including the degree to which frequency of loss of control eating episodes mediates associations. Data were analyzed from 88 individuals seeking bariatric surgery. Overvaluation of shape and weight was highly prevalent, with approximately 49% of the sample endorsing their weight and/or shape had a significant impact on their self-evaluation. The results of correlational analyses supported a link between overvaluation of shape and weight and higher levels of eating pathology, including more frequent loss of control eating episodes and disordered eating attitudes, in addition to poorer psychosocial functioning as indicated by greater psychosocial impairment, depression, and lower self-esteem. While frequency of loss of control eating episodes partially mediated associations between overvaluation of shape and weight and global eating pathology, it was not a significant mediator of the associations between overvaluation of shape and weight and shape/weight concerns, weight-related psychosocial functioning, self-esteem, or depression. These findings underscore the importance of assessing pre-surgical levels of overvaluation of shape and weight among individuals seeking bariatric surgery and suggest the importance of evaluating these attitudes and behaviors following surgery.

Show moreThis paper addresses the issue of structure design and analysis for conditions of fire loading. It includes an introductory section that presents the historical and current state of practice using prescriptive methods of design, a qualitative and conceptual development (based on actual field observations) of what is expected to occur in a structure when subjected to fire, and a summary of the current state of research on the subject of structure design for fire loading. Next, a thermo-plastic non-linear finite element shell model was developed for a two member steel beam and column, bolted joint structure used in an actual physical fire test, subjected to beam a bending load and column compressive load, held constant, while the structure was heated up in a furnace. The beam / column bolted joint rotation for the test matched the simulation quite well. Next, further extending this modeling approach, a partial moment frame from the center of a 9 story building designed for dead, live, and seismic loading was modeled with non-linear thermo-plastic shell elements in the fire zone, along with linear elastic beam / line elements for structural components surrounding the fire zone. For this model, the gravity loading (no seismic loading included) was fully applied, and then a thermal load corresponding to the ASTM E119 fire test load was applied to the structure in the fire zone. Simulation of lateral torsional buckling, flange local buckling, web local buckling, and finally overall global buckling of the columns was accomplished in this effort, increasing confidence that complex thermo-plastic structural behavior can be modeled with advanced non-linear finite element technology. Boundary conditions on this model from the floor system had a significant impact on the mode of global buckling (strong axis or weak axis), warranting further investigation and possibly a 3-D frame with a floor system included in future work. Also, extending this modeling approach even further, in future work, using the entire 9 story moment frame, with shell elements in the fire zone and non-linear moment-curvature beam / line elements for surrounding members, is contemplated, the objective being to numerically model a progressive collapse event in a planar frame. Finally, an actual 10 story structure, converted to and industrial open floor structure, based on current design codes and standards, was modeled thermally using the industry standard Hydrocarbon (HC) Temperature vs time curve, and structurally using non-linear thermoplastic shell elements in the “fire room” (to better capture local buckling and overall structure collapse behavior), and thermoplastic beam elements for the rest of the structure. The thermal modeling was performed for steel members both without insulation (bare steel) and with minimal insulation (1/4” coated thickness), and these “decoupled” results then applied to the structural model. The use of even a small layer of insulation demonstrated the dramatic effect of such, insofar as the collapse time of the structure is concerned.

Show morePeople considering disclosure of their mental illness in the workplace have tonavigate a complex set of competing pressures to arrive at a disclosure decision. Existingmodels of disclosure fail to adequately consider the role of stigma, cannot be adequatelytested with measures currently in existence, and tend to ask participants about disclosureretrospectively. These limitations were addressed using a new path model which employsmeasures currently in existence, includes stigma, and assesses disclosure motivation inindividuals who have not disclosed at work. A national sample of 365 participants wererecruited using Amazon’s Mechanical Turk Marketplace (MTurk). While thehypothesized model achieved poor fit, important findings from the models tested hereprovide clear direction for future research.

Title: EVALUATING INTEGRITY FOR MOBILE ROBOT LOCALIZATION SAFETY

Show morePrecise localization is paramount for autonomous navigation. Localization errors are not only dangerous by themselves, but can also mislead other dependent systems into moving to a hazardous location. Unfortunately, the problem of quantifying robot localization safety is only sparsely addressed in the robotics literature, and most robotics algorithms still quantify pose estimation performance using a covariance matrix or particle spread, which only accounts for nominal sensor errors. This is insufficient for life- and mission-critical applications, such as autonomous vehicles and other co-robots, where ignoring sensor or sensor or processing faults can lead to catastrophic localization errors. Thus, other methods must be employed to ensure safety.In response, this research leverages prior work in aviation integrity monitoring to tackle the more challenging case of evaluating localization safety in mobile robots. In contrast to aviation applications, that heavily rely on the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) for localization, robots often operate in complex, GNSS-denied environments that require a more sophisticated sensor suite to ensure localization safety. Localization integrity risk is the probability that a robot's pose estimate lies outside pre-defined acceptable limits while no alarm is triggered. In this work, the integrity risk is rigorously upper bounded by accounting for both nominal noise and other non-nominal sensor faults, resulting in a safe upper bound on the localization integrity risk.The main contribution of this dissertation is the design and evaluation of a sequential integrity monitoring methodology applicable to mobile robot localization algorithms that use feature extraction and data association. First, faults introduced during the feature extraction and data association processes are distinguished, and the probability of the latter is rigorously upper bounded using analytical methods. The impact of faults in the estimate error's and fault detector's distributions is then determined to quantify integrity risk, which is evaluated under the worst-possible fault combination. To determine the impact of previous faults without a boundlessly growing number of fault hypotheses, this dissertation presents a novel method that uses a preceding time window to build a limited set of hypotheses and a prior estimate bias to account for faults occurring before the start of the time window. The proposed methodology is applicable to Kalman Filter and fixed-lag smoothing localization. Simulated and experimental results are presented to validate the methodology.

Show moreThe goal of the present study was to use ecological momentary assessment to examine factors that predict aggression in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In particular, this study sought to investigate the situation-level and person-level factors that predict the severity of children’s aggressive episodes. At the situation-level, we predicted that children would show more severe aggression after experiencing a negative affective state. At the person-level, we hypothesized that children with better grammatical and pragmatic language abilities would demonstrate less severe aggressive behavior. In addition, we predicted that language abilities would moderate the association between negative affect and aggression. We were unable to test these hypotheses due to a floor effect in the outcome variable. Thus, we conducted a series of analyses to examine how variables of interest were associated with the presence of aggressive behavior. We found an association between negative affect and aggression, such that children who experienced higher levels of negative affect were more likely to engage in aggressive behavior. However, there was not a significant relationship between language abilities and the presence of aggression. In addition, there was no evidence for a moderation effect. Future studies should examine other variables that may moderate or mediate the association between negative affect and aggression in children with ASD.
