Psychology Of Learning And Behavior
No full textNow in its Fifth Edition, Psychology of Learning and Behavior is one of the most highly regarded texts in its field. Barry Schwartz, Steven Robbins, and new co-author Edward Wasserman offer students an engaging introduction to the basic principles of Pavlovian conditioning, operant conditioning, and comparative cognition. The text\u27s critical approach exposes students to the unresolved problems and controversies surrounding behavior theory and encourages them to interpret the material and make connections between theories and real-life situations. With several hundred new references, a new emphasis on comparative cognition, and expanded treatment of neuroscience and the neural basis of learning, the Fifth Edition sets the standard in its coverage of contemporary theory and research
Durability of an inorganic polymer concrete coating
No full textThe objective of the research p4rogram reported in this thesis is to evaluate the durability of an inorganic polymer composite coating exposed to freeze/thaw cycling and wet-dry cycling. Freeze/thaw cycling is performed following ASTM D6944-09 Standard Practice for Resistance of Cured Coatings to Thermal Cycling and wet/dry cycling is performed following guidelines set forth in a thesis written by Ronald Garon at Rutgers University. For both sets of experiments, four coating mixture proportions were evaluated. The variables were: silica/alumina ratio, mixing protocol using high shear and normal shear mixing, curing temperatures of 70 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit and use of nano size constituent materials. The mix with highest silica/alumina ratio was designated as Mix 1 and mixes with lower ratios were designated as Mix 2 and Mix 3. Mix 4 had nano silica particles. Four prisms were used for each variable including control that had no coating. The performance of the coating was evaluated using adhesion strength measured using: ASTM D7234 Test Method for Pull-Off Strength of Coatings on Concrete Using Portable Adhesion Testers. Tests were performed after every five consecutive cycles of thermal conditioning and six consecutive cycles of wet-dry exposure. Results from the thermal cycling and wet-dry testing demonstrate that all coating formulations are durable. The minimum adhesion strength was 300 psi even though a relatively weak base concrete surface was chosen for the study. The weak surface was chosen to simulate aged concrete surfaces present in actual field conditions. Due to the inherent nature of the test procedure the variation in test results is high. However, based on the test results, high shear mixer and high temperature curing are not recommended. As expected nano size constituent materials provide better performance.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Kenneth Wasserma
Tellurium, antimony, and selenium isotopes as indicators of elemental mobility
No full textRedox reactions greatly influence metal and metalloid mobility, as different oxidation states can exhibit diverse geochemical behavior controlling solubility and adsorption affinity. Elucidating these processes is important in a wide range of geochemical applications, such as contaminant mobility, resource extraction, or the oxygenation of early Earth. Stable isotopic fractionation of redox-sensitive elements can be used as a means to identify redox reactions taking place. For example, selenium (Se) isotopes track reductive immobilization of the contaminant Se in groundwater or surface waters. Other isotope systems, like that of tellurium (Te) and antimony (Sb) have yet to be explored in depth and could provide information about biogeochemical processes that control their mobility in modern and ancient environments.
The work presented here seeks to improve our understanding of the isotope systematics of Te, Sb, and Se. I examined the potential of Te isotopes as a proxy of atmospheric oxygenation by creating a novel method to measure δ130Te in a suite of paleosols and near-shore sediments ranging from 3.0 Ga to the Cenozoic. The results suggest that Te isotopes may track the initiation of global Te redox cycling triggered by O2 levels at the Great Oxidation Event. For the oxyanions of the toxic metalloids, Sb and Te, one of the largest immobilizing processes is adsorption. Given the importance of this pathway, potential isotope effects induced by adsorption should be studied, as significant contribution from this fractionating process can complicate interpretations of redox-driven isotopic fractionation. I set up several experiments to examine the isotopic fractionation during adsorption of Sb and Te to goethite and illite at pH 6 and 8. The results indicate that isotope effects produced by adsorption are necessary to consider when using the Sb or Te isotope systems to track reduction reactions. Similarly, the isotope fractionation during Se(VI) or Se(IV) reduction may be complicated by other fractionating processes. For example, the oxidative dissolution of reduced Se-bearing phases has been assumed to produce minor isotopic fractionation but has not been studied in depth. I conducted oxidation experiments with selenide-bearing minerals, which revealed the presence of a persistent positive isotopic offset between the oxidized Se(VI) fraction and the mineral. This result has major implications in interpretation of Se isotopic fractionation during reduction, especially in environments with fluctuating redox conditions. Taken together, the results of these studies advance the use of Te, Sb, and Se isotope systems as proxies of elemental mobility.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2022-08-01The student, Naomi Wasserman, accepted the attached license on 2020-07-10 at 13:03.The student, Naomi Wasserman, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2020-07-10 at 14:24.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2020-07-14 at 06:50.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #15564 on 2020-10-02 at 15:50:21Made available in DSpace on 2020-10-07T22:49:52Z (GMT).

The methodological status of co-authorship networks
No full textA powerful strategy within the study of collaboration
in science is to posit that co-authorship patterns
represent social networks.
It is prerequisite to an application of Social
Network Analysis (SNA) to define the network
entities. A network analysis of the inter-institutional
collaboration in COLLNET on the basis
of co-authorships was conducted. The study reveals
that it is crucial whether the co-authorship
itself is seen as an author's relational property or
as a social event that brings the authors together.
The former possibility is represented by a onemode
network in which each author can be related
to each other author. Quite distinct from
that are two-mode networks, the latter approach.
They consist of two single data sets in which relations
are only possible between different sets.
Different modes of representations require
different network approaches. One is that co-authorship
networks are seen as one-mode networks,
which has the advantage of the application
of a variety of measures. In contrast, twomode
networks, the other option, cannot be analysed
by standard techniques but its distinctive
features demand a new conceptualisation of
measures. In conclusion, the two-mode perspective
is more promising because it allows a dual
perspective on collaboration in science which includes
researchers as well as their scientific output
Fraud-on-the-Market Theory in State Law Securities-Fraud Suits: Mirkin v. Wasserman and an Examination of Market Reliance Principles in the Common Law of Deceit
No full textIn Mirkin v. Wasserman, the California Supreme Court refused to apply the fraud-on-the-market theory of market reliance in a securities fraud class action brought under state law. Although this theory had previously been acknowledged under federal securities laws, the Mirkin court claimed that the California law of deceit required proof of actual reliance in all cases. The court also asserted that if it were to recognize this theory, the number of frivolous securities fraud suits would increase because of the availability of punitive damages under state law.
In his Note, the author explains that principles of market reliance (a form of indirect reliance) have existed for centuries and were embraced by American state courts, including California state courts, before federal securities laws were enacted. The author argues that the Mirin court treated these market-reliance cases improperly in its decision, and that when dealing with this issue, other state courts should not blindly follow Mirkin. The author also points out that legislative and judicial control over jury awards would prevent excessive punitive damage awards in state-law securities fraud cases
