Relationship qualities as moderators of the associations between adolescent conflict and adjustment
Title
Relationship qualities as moderators of the associations between adolescent conflict and adjustment.
Creator
Adams, Ryan E., Florida Atlantic University, Laursen, Brett
Abstract/Description
Conflict during adolescence has shown to have the potential for both beneficent consequences and adverse consequences. The present study addresses this paradox and attempts to understand it by examining relationship qualities as potential moderating influences. To examine these moderated associations between conflict rates and outcome measures in mother-child, father-child, and friend relationships, 469 students completed the Interpersonal Conflict Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and...
Show moreConflict during adolescence has shown to have the potential for both beneficent consequences and adverse consequences. The present study addresses this paradox and attempts to understand it by examining relationship qualities as potential moderating influences. To examine these moderated associations between conflict rates and outcome measures in mother-child, father-child, and friend relationships, 469 students completed the Interpersonal Conflict Questionnaire, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale II, Intimate Friendship Scale, Network of Relationships Inventory, and Youth Self-Report. Regression analyses found that the level of negativity in the relationship moderated the associations between conflict rate and outcome measures such as grade point average, withdrawn behaviors, and delinquent behaviors.

Computing automorphism groups of projective planes
Title
Computing automorphism groups of projective planes.
Creator
Adamski, Jesse Victor, Magliveras, Spyros S., Charles E. Schmidt College of Science, Department of Mathematical Sciences
Abstract/Description
The main objective of this thesis was to find the full automorphism groups of finite Desarguesian planes. A set of homologies were used to generate the automorphism group when the order of the plane was prime. When the order was a prime power Pa,a ≠ 1 the Frobenius automorphism was added to the set of homologies, and then the full automorphism group was generated. The Frobenius automorphism was found by using the planar ternary ring derived from a coordinatization of the plane.

Show moreRussian experimenters Kozlov and Leonenko have reported substantial drag reduction on a sphere using a "bill" or "spike" extending from the body upstream into the flow. A systematic series of experiments was conducted to determine the extent of the reduction and to identify the parameters of the reported drag reduction effect. The tests were performed in the Florida Atlantic University Ocean Engineering Department's Aerolab wind tunnel. A sphere was fitted with tapering bills of various lengths, base diameters, and bill/sphere fillet radii. Experiments indicated that the effect was restricted to Reynolds numbers below 4.0 x 10^5 and that the drag of the sphere/spike combination was actually increased at Reynolds numbers greater than this. A smoke generator was used to visualize the drag reduction mechanism, which appears to be a recirculating cell at the base of the sphere/spike intersection.

Show moreAs medical research expands to include a vast variety of new treatments and the world becomes increasingly interconnected, the ethics involving patient care and treatment plan development also become extremely important to consider. One of the most novel and widely unexplored fields of reproductive health is oncofertility, a field of medicine that aims to minimize the negative impacts of cancer treatment on fertility. For many childhood cancer patients, cancer treatment involves oncofertility-related discussions that involve their families, physicians, and many other people. This paper serves primarily to evaluate the quality of educational and clinical resources available to childhood cancer patients regarding fertility preservation, the current approach to these cases from an ethical perspective, and to propose a procedure for treatment plan development and decision making that carefully considers the values and beliefs of the patient, his/her family members, physicians, and ethics board members involved with the case to help standardize the process.

Show moreIn this dissertation the synthesis, characterization, and binding properties of carbohydrate receptors 34-38 was described. Macrocyclic receptor 34 and macrobicyclic receptor 35 bind monosaccharides in aqueous media through combination of hydrophobic, electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The dissociation constants (Kd) for the complexes between 1 ,8-naphthyridine receptors 34, and 35 with a variety of neutral and negatively charged monosaccharides in aqueous media were determined by fluorimetric and UV /vis titration. The observed values are in the range from ~0.3 to >10 mM, within the Kd range reported for lectin/monosaccharide complexes. However, among monosaccharide substrates tested receptor 34 showed the strongest affinity for sialic acid (Kd = ~0 . 3 mM), a monosaccharide that plays many important roles in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. Macrocyclic receptor 34 recognizes not only sialic acid in solution, but also binds selectively in vitro to human cancer cell surface carbohydrate antigens containing terminal sialic acid moieties. In addition, besides their binding selectivity, receptors 34 and 35 display also the ability to discriminate between closely related monosaccharide substrates by opposite variation of the fluorescence emission intensity. Structure-binding relationship study of receptor 34 revealed that H-bonding donor/acceptor pattern and presence of positive charge on receptor's side arms are crucial for selective monosaccharide binding in aqueous media.

Show moreDuring eye lens development the lens receives oxygen from a network of capillaries that comprise of the tunica vasculosa lentis and the anterior pupillary membrane. In development there is regression of this capillaries with the vitreous and aqueous humor, which is the lens only source of oxygen, leaving the lens in low oxygen state. The lens contains a decreasing oxygen gradient from the surface to the core that parallels the differentiation of immature surface epithelial cells into mature core transparent fiber cells. These properties of the lens suggest a potential role for hypoxia and the master regulator of the hypoxic response, hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1 alpha (HIF1a), in the regulation of genes required for lens fiber cell differentiation, structure, and transparency. Previous studies by our lab discovered the HIF1a-dependent gene expression patterns of lens genes by utilizing a Multiomics approach that integrated analysis from CUT&RUN, RNA-seq, and ATACseq. Additionally, our lab also established a hypoxia and HIF1a-dependent mechanism for the non-nuclear organelle degradation process required to form mature transparent fiber cells.

Show moreThe disproportionate representation of African American adolescents engaging in sexual risk behaviors (SRB) compared to their other racial counterparts is stark. This SRB disparity can be eliminated by addressing ethnic group-specific populations, such as Nigerian American adolescents (NAAs), and requiring an intentional effort and sensitivity regarding the methodology. Protection Motivation Theory and selected Roach's Cs guided this study in a virtual setting, and the uniqueness of NAAs surfaced. Twenty-five male and female participants were recruited through Nigerian American Foundation. Each participant met the inclusion criteria of self-identification as Nigerian American, male, and female adolescents aged 13 –17 years old, being able to read and provide written assent in English, South Florida residence, Nigerian parentage, or Nigerian birth living in the US within five years. An exploratory, descriptive design employed a mixed-methods study to identify SRB knowledge and attitudes among NAAs. Quantitatively, SRB knowledge and attitudes were assessed using the West Virginia Youth Risk Behavior Inventory, acculturation measure for Afro-Caribbean youths was adapted for the NAAs, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. For the qualitative component, a developed guide was used in focus group discussions.

Show moreGenetic disorders like Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and X-linked Diseases (XLD) are inherited by offspring from parents who are healthy carriers of the autosomal recessive or allosomal genes. About 10-million Americans are healthy carriers of a mutant cysticfibrosis gene (predominantly F508del) and about 4% of newborns are at risk of being born with an X-linked disease. The current clinically approved mitigation plan for preventing genetic disorders in newborns from “at-risk couples” is to consider Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenetic diseases (PGT-M). PGT-M involves an invasive microsurgical procedure that requires the removal of cells from 3-5day old embryos. To minimize this invasiveness, we proposed a less invasive approach to prevent genetic disorders in newborns by genotypically sorting sperm cells which may be used for fertilization events (IUI/IVF/ICSI) with specially characterized antigens on the sperm surface membrane. For the disease models being adopted in our study – CF and XLD; we utilized certain monoclonal antibodies (mab) to target the H-Y male antigen and the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein which are both selectively expressed on the sperm surface.

Show moreThe sensation of touch is an integral part of using our hands. As different researchers work toward the restoration of afferent sensation in prosthetic hands, it becomes urgent to better understand how an artificial hand’s afferent inputs are affected by the efferent muscular outputs, and vice-versa. Current methods of neuroprosthetic research have many regulatory hurdles, time, cost, and associated risk to the patient. To circumvent these hurdles, we developed a non-invasive, closed-loop (CL) neuroprosthetic research platform, integrating artificial tactile signals from an artificial hand with biomimetically-stimulated biological neuronal networks (BNNs) cultured in a multielectrode array (MEA) chamber. These living embodied biological computers (EBCs) can provide a non-invasive alternative for investigating invasive neuroprosthetic interfaces. With them we can explore a variety of control techniques, tactile sensation encoding methods, and neural decoding methods to increase the rate of research in this area with minimal regulatory approval, greatly reduced cost and time, and no risk to the patients. In the first stage of this integration, our EBC was programmed to embody neuronal spiking from spontaneously active “efferent” receptive fields in cultured BNNs as intentional signals for movement. Bursts were transferred to a robotic hand and initiated a tapping motion of the index finger laid in proximity to a surface. Contact elicited artificial sensations, which were registered by a biotac tactile sensor array fit to the robotic fingertip.

Therefore, a module-order model (MOM) predicting the rank order of modules can be used to solve this problem. The objective of this research is to make an empirical study of MOMs based on five different underlying quantitative software quality models. We examine the benefits of principal components analysis with MOM and demonstrate that better accuracy of underlying techniques does not always yield better performance with MOM. Three case studies of large industrial software systems were conducted. The results confirm that MOM can create efficient models using different underlying techniques that provide various accuracy when predicting a quantitative software quality factor over the data sets.
