Exploring the Developmental Outcomes of First-Year Experience Seminars (in-progress)
No full textA substantial amount of research shows that the first year of college is a “make or break” time for most students, with an estimated 60% of incoming students withdrawing before the beginning of their sophomore year (Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005). Additional research also shows that 2/3 of students’ gains in cognitive and intellectual skill occur during their first year (Pascarella and Terenzini, 2005). Finding like this have led to the nearly universal use of First Year Experience (FYE) Seminars
Source Anonymity in WSNs using Real/Fake packet Injections
No full textMany of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) applications such as tracking and monitoring endangered species, and/or military applications in areas of interest require anonymity of the origin known as Source Location Privacy (SLP). The aim is to prevent unauthorized observers from tracing the source of a real event by analyzing the traffic on the network. Three different techniques: Dummy Uniform Distribution (DUD), Dummy Adaptive Distribution (DAD) and Controlled Dummy Adaptive Distribution (CAD) are introduced to overcome the anonymity problem against a global adversary (which has the capability of analyzing and monitoring the entire network). Our proposed techniques confuse the adversary about the existence of the real event by introducing low rate fake messages, which subsequently lead to location and time privacy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed techniques improve delivery ratio and reduce the delay and overhead of a real event's packets while keeping a high level of anonymity
Irish Folk Music in the Classroom
No full textThis unit of study allows fifth-grade students to study and expand their knowledge on the folk music of Ireland and its influence on American music. There are five lessons in this unit. Students will have the opportunity to develop their singing, moving, listening, musical analysis, and instrumental performance skills. Students will have the opportunity to learn the musical forms, rhythmic patterns, and instrumentation that define Irish music. This experience is designed to give students tools to appreciate Irish music and culture, understand American music and culture, and explore their own or other musical cultures
UB CANSAT Competition 2017
No full textOur mission objective is to create a solar powered science glider that can sample the atmospheric conditions like pressure, temperature, altitude and positioning during flight and compete in the CanSat competition. To model and design a solar powered glider and re-entry container. The glider is designed in such a way as to hold all the sensors for sampling and solar panels to power up the glider. To make the glider move in a circular pattern during descent with a diameter not more than 1000m

An Exploration of Overconfidence in the Utilization of Financial Advisors
No full textUnderstanding the concept of overconfidence and applying this concept to the decision-making of individuals as it pertains to employing a financial advisor, this will provide individuals within households and practitioners with more insight into understanding the psychological and sociological traits involved in making financial decisions. These understandings will assist individuals within households in reaching their long-term goals and allow practitioners to better solicit prospects by understanding their behavior
