No full textInterview conducted at the Medical Heritage Center, Columbus, Ohio.Dr. Steven Gabbe discusses his medical career, which culminated in his role as CEO of Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center. Gabbe, who began his tenure as CEO in 2008, supervised the construction of the new James Cancer Hospital and the installation of the Epic electronic health record system. A specialist in obstetrics and gynecology, Gabbe and his wife, Dr. Patricia Gabbe, are both retired and devote much of their time to their involvement in Moms2Be, a program that works to reduce infant mortality in at-risk communities

Impact of coupling an ocean model to WRF nor’easter simulations
No full textThe impact of ocean-atmosphere coupling and its possible seasonal dependence upon Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations of seven, winter-time cyclone events was investigated. Model simulations were identical aside from the degree of ocean model coupling (static SSTs, 1D mixed-layer model, full-physics 3D ocean model). Both 1D and 3D ocean model coupling simulations show that SSTs following the passage of a nor’easter did tend to cool more strongly during the early season (Oct-Dec) and were more likely to warm late in the season (Feb-Apr). Model simulations produce SST differences of up to 1.14 K, but this change did not lead to significant change in storm track ( 1) and have low-to-moderate threat scores (0.31 – 0.59). Analysis of the storm environment and the overall simulation failed to reveal any statistically significant differences in model error attributable to ocean-atmosphere coupling. Despite this result, ocean model coupling can reduce dynamical field error at a single level by up to 20%, and this was slightly greater (1-2%) with 3D ocean model coupling as compared to 1D ocean model coupling. Thus, while 3D ocean model coupling tended to generally produce more realistic simulations, its impact would likely be more profound for longer-term simulations.© Copyright 2015 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

"The Translingual Sensibility: A Conversation Between Steven G. Kellman and Ilan Stavans"
No full textDialogue might be the most appropriate medium for reflections on translingualism. In a dialogue conducted by email over the course of ten days, Steven G. Kellman and Ilan Stavans consider the validity and implications of linguistic determinism. Their conversation examines whether some words that seem to embody the unique Weltanschaaung of a particular culture – such as Schadenfreude, duende, or mångata – can be appropriated, if not translated, into another culture. Pondering whether there are any inherent qualities that distinguish texts by monolingual writers such as Jane Austen and William Faulkner from work by authors who switch languages, such as Samuel Beckett and Vladimir Nabokov, they agree on the usefulness of thinking in terms of a translingual sensibility. Apart from the biographical circumstances of the author, a text possesses a translingual sensibility if it embodies an awareness of both the power and the limitations of its own verbal medium
A Cross-Layer Multicast-Push Unicast-Pull (MPUP) Architecture for Reliable File-Stream Distribution
No full textThe growing deployment of OpenFlow/SDN networks makes it increasingly possible to leverage network multi-cast services. This work proposes a novel cross-layer Multicast- Push Unicast Pull (MPUP) architecture that includes functionality in the application, transport and link layers to offer users a reliable file-stream distribution service to multiple subscribers. A prototype implementation of the MPUP architecture was realized in a new version of Local Data Manager (LDM), LDM7, a software program that has been in use since 1994 for real-time meteorology data distribution. LDM6, the currently deployed version, uses application-layer multicast. Experiment were run on the GENI infrastructure to compare LDM7 and LDM6. The two main findings are (i) LDM7 can be run at a higher sending rate than LDM6 allowing for improved performance (lower file-delivery latency), and (ii) to achieve the same performance, LDM7 uses significantly lower bandwidth and compute capacity. A three-fold improvement in performance improvement was possible with LDM7, and a bandwidth reduction from 350 Mbps to 21.4 Mbps was observed with 24 receivers.Peer reviewe

Personal-level factors and Google Docs use in Monmouth County middle schools
No full textTechnology is essential in both personal and professional lives. Also, digital assessments, such as those being implemented as part of the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), will soon be instituted; these require students to utilize computer technology in order to complete the assessment. Therefore, it is imperative that administrators be aware of factors associated with increased frequency and complexity of technology use in teachers’ classrooms. This study examined the factors associated with the diffusion and implementation of a technological innovation (Google Docs) through schools/districts in Monmouth County, NJ. An online survey provided quantitative data about teachers’ personal-professional characteristics and the frequency and complexity of respondents’ uses of Google Docs. Data was collected from 35 of the 53 schools in Monmouth County; 45% of the surveyed population provided viable responses. Linear regression determined which factors had a statistically significant association with the dependent variable “Google Docs Usage Score” (GDUS), a measure of frequency and complexity of Google Docs use. Independent variables culled from the literature were decision method (optional, collective, or authority); innovator type (innovator, early adopter, early majority, late majority, laggard); and the following personal characteristics: years of teaching experience; subject area taught; grade levels taught; number of types of technology used personally; number of types of technology used professionally; and technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) score (Mishra & Koehler, 2003). This study determined there was a statistically significant association between the GDUS and the following variables: optional decision method; innovator, early adopter, and early majority innovator types; the subject areas Mathematics and Visual and/or Performing Arts; the number of types of technology used professionally; and TPACK score. These findings provide administrators with specific factors to consider when encouraging diffusion of a technological innovation such as Google Docs into a school. Combined with research by Wisnicki (2014), it was found that personal factors have a larger impact on GDUS than do environmental factors. This study builds on the diffusion work of Rogers (2003) and the Concerns-Based Adoption Model of Hall, Wallace, & Dosset (1973), and adds clarity to the literature on diffusion of educational technology within schools. This study also provides a new theoretical construct for examining levels of use of Google Docs, which could potentially be expanded to act as a measurement for other types of educational technology.Ed.
