Does Downloading PowerPoint Slides Before the Lecture Lead to Better Student Achievement?: Reply
No full textThis reply responds to a comment by Cannon (2011) that opens the debate on consistency of the effect of downloading PowerPoint slides before lectures on students’ exam performance. Cannon (2011) points out potential endogeneity problems in Chen and Lin (2008) and attempts to explore the unconditional mean effect of downloading PowerPoint slides for the full sample. In this reply, we firstly argue that the estimates in our original article are consistent since the effect of interest is the “conditional†treatment effect but not the unconditional mean effect. We provide explanations for our rationale of estimating the “conditional†treatment effect. Secondly, we propose a modified downloading variable to replicate Cannon’s analysis. Our results suggest that downloading PowerPoint slides before the exam does not produce a significant effect on absent students’ exam performance which is different from the results in Cannon (2011). Our analysis does support Cannon’s argument that students fixed effects are different across different attendance status.

No full textThis report is Yi-Fang Lin Piano Recital Program Notes on April., 23, 2019. The two pieces on the program include Piano Sonata in C minor, K.457 by W.A. Mozart, and Piano Concerto No.1 in F-Sharp minor, Op.1 by S. Rachmaninoff. The note will introduce the life of two composers, the compositional background of individual work, and the analysis of the structure, including tonal design and thematic material in each work
Using Google Analytics for improving library website content and design: a case study
No full textGoogle Analytics is a free web analytics solution that provides webmasters with insightful information about how visitors find and interact with their websites. In this case study, we have experimented in using Google Analytics to analyze two of our websites: The Rutgers-Newark Law Library main website and The New Jersey Digital Legal Library website. It was used to monitor our visitors' browsing activities and viewing behaviors for three months. Based on our findings from Google Analytics reports, we have redesigned our website. Subsequent data collected by Google Analytics have confirmed that our new design better fits the information needs of our visitors and librarians. Google Analytics is very powerful and can be used for almost any website. We believe that other libraries will benefit from using Google Analytics as well. Limitations of Google Analytics are also discussed based on our experience with it.The published version of this article is available at: http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~mbolin/lpp2007.htm"June, 2007
First person – Mei-Fang Lin
No full textFirst Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Mei-Fang Lin is first author on ‘Transcriptomic analyses highlight the likely metabolic consequences of colonization of a cnidarian host by native or non-native Symbiodinium species’, published in BiO. Mei-Fang conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in David John Miller's lab at James Cook University, Australia. She is now a postdoc in the lab of Hiroshi Watanabe at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan, investigating cnidarian genomics and evolution
A Fourier-Based Valuation Method for Bermudan and Barrier Options under Heston’s Model
No full textWe develop an efficient Fourier-based numerical method for pricing Bermudan and discretely monitored barrier options under the Heston stochastic volatility model. The two-dimensional pricing problem is dealt with by a combination of a Fourier cosine series expansion, as in [F. Fang and C.W. Oosterlee, SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 31 (2008), pp. 826–848, F. Fang and C. W. Oosterlee, Numer. Math., 114 (2009), pp. 27–62], and high-order quadrature rules in the other dimension. Error analysis and experiments confirm a fast error convergence.Delft Institute of Applied MathematicsElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

Clorindaia adama Blocker & Fang
No full textClorindaia adama Blocker & Fang (Figs. 22A 2, 22B 2, 27) Clorindaia adama Blocker & Fang, 1992: 342 [original description, illustration, morphology]; Zanol, 2008: 24 [catalogue]; Zahniser, 2007 [online catalogue]; Freytag & Gaiani, 2017 [online catalogue] Diagnosis. C. adama can be distinguished from other species in the genus by the crown length equal to or longer than the interocular width, aedeagus without unpaired apical process, aedeagus symmetrical, and aedeagus with a pair of very thin apical processes forming semicircles in caudal view. Material examined. Holotype ♂ examined [SEMC]. Male genitalia appear to be more or less as figured by Blocker & Fang (1992). Distribution. This species is known only from the type locality in Paraguay (Itapúa Dept.).Published as part of Zahniser, James N., 2021, Revision of the New World leafhopper tribe Faltalini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) and the evolution of brachyptery, pp. 1-160 in Zootaxa 4954 (1) on page 43, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4954.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/469077
