First person – Melanie Ridgway
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Melanie Ridgway is first author on ‘ Analysis of sex-specific lipid metabolism in Plasmodium falciparum points to importance of sphingomyelin for gametocytogenesis’, published in JCS. Melanie conducted the research described in this article while a PhD candidate in Alexander Maier's lab at Biomedical Science and Biochemistry, Research School of Biology, Australian National University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of David Horn at Wellcome Centre for Anti-Infectives Research, Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery, University of Dundee, Dundee, UK, investigating the cell biology of unicellular parasites
Open Hypermedia and Streaming Audio
No full textAudio media is one of the most neglected areas in the Hypermedia / Multimedia domain. To play sound files in traditional hypermedia systems, for example the World Wide Web (WWW), users click upon links (or hyperlinks) within a browser. This action will download the sound file to the local machine and then activate an application to play the file. More recently however, applications can stream the file over the network instead, thus reducing the overhead of having to download it first. In multimedia applications such as Microsoft Encarta, users click on areas of the screen called "hot-spots" that will cause an event to occur. This event could cause an audio file to be played, a picture to be displayed or it could cause some other event. In both of these systems audio is usually just the result or side-effect of some action caused by the user. In the Hypermedia domain the information required to traverse the links is embedded within the document using the HyperText Markup Language (HTML). In multimedia systems the link information is stored in an internal format, which the user does not have access to. This creates problems because only the original author of the hypertext or multimedia document can modify, edit or create new links. Therefore because this link information is difficult to modify, these systems are known as "closed" systems. The aim of this research is to investigate how audio could be used in Open Hypermedia Systems, specifically how links can be used with streaming audio
Alyssa Nicklas\u27s Portfolio
No full textThe portfolio I have put together is a collection of various pieces that I have composed throughout my four years at Duquesne. Each of these have great importance to me and all together the collection reflects my values and interests in the nursing field. These pieces act to show how throughout my time in the nursing program I was redefining my values and growing from my experiences. From the very beginning of nursing school my professors challenged me to compose my own personal philosophy of nursing. Over the course of the four years, I was interested in various fields of nursing and did my own research on them to determine what was best for me. However, the various opportunities provided by the nursing program ultimately guided me to discover my passion for critical care nursing and establish what my beliefs in this field are. It is my hope that these pieces serve to show that my time as a nursing student at Duquense was not only a time of learning, but a time of transformation in discovering myself.
This Portfolio Includes the following works by Alyssa Nicklas: Personal Philosophy of Nursing – A Philosophical Essay – This piece is a philosophical essay written for a Contemporary Professional Nursing course. Students were encouraged to reflect upon their values and beliefs and write their own personal philosophy of nursing. Genetics in Nursing – Critical Reflection – This piece is a critical reflection written for a Genetics in Nursing course reflecting upon my values in the field of genetics and how I can incorporate this knowledge in my everyday nursing practice. AKI and PRISMAFLEX System – A Medical Brochure – This piece is a medical brochure that was completed as an individual project for the honors college. It serves as a teaching tool for people to learn about a condition and piece of technology seen in intensive care units. Ethical Issue in Acute Care Setting – An Argumentative Essay – This piece is an argumentative essay written for a Nursing Ethics course that analyzes both sides of a medical case of choice. Ethical principles were used in order to build an argument in support of a side. Pediatric Oncology – Link to Professional Blog – This professional blog expands upon my passion for pediatric oncology nursing and has various posts pertaining to information about pediatric oncology.https://dsc.duq.edu/portfolios/1006/thumbnail.jp
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

What is the effectivness of adaptive seating for school-aged children with developmental delays on occupational performance?
No full textDevelopmental disabilities occur among all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Recent estimates in the United States show about 1 in 6, or about 17%, of children aged 3 through 17 years old have one or more developmental disabilities such as ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, intellectual disability, learning disability, vision impairment, and other developmental delays. The purpose of this analysis was to critically appraise various adaptive seating models and the impact they have, if any, on occupational performance of school-aged children with developmental disabilities. There are a variety of ways to adapt the classroom including adaptive seating for desired needs and outcomes. Types of adaptive seating in the classroom include a balance disc, wobble chair, bean bags, etc. This analysis showed that children in the intervention groups experienced improvement in the areas of behavior, fine and visual motor skills, metacognition, and global executive functioning. All adaptive seating models require further investigation into the impact on occupational performance and specific protocols necessary to make the intervention successful and generalizable to further populations
