Effective advising: How academic advising influences student learning outcomes in different institutional contexts
No full textPaper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Washington, DC, April 8 2016.Using survey data from 156 bachelor's-granting institutions, this study explored the relationship between academic advising services and senior's grades and self-perceived gains. We found advising experiences has a positive relationship with students' grades and self-perceived learning gains. Additionally, our results indicate that the institutional advising climate is positively correlated with perceived learning gains, but not grades. The results also showed that the relationships of advising and students' learning and development varied across institutions. Implications for policy and practice are discussed

Land Use Impacts of Shared Micromobility Services
No full textNowadays, limited bike parking spaces have been a severe problem to be solved in the Netherlands. Shared bikes are considered ideal solutions, as well as other emerging shared micromobility modes, e.g., shared e-bikes, e-scooters and e-mopeds, since they can help utilise vehicles better and alleviate more occupying land space. Moreover, shared micromobility modes have a great potential to attract private car users and achieve a modal switch from private cars to them. In this case, this research aims to understand how the sum of parking areas changed by the modal switch from private cars and bikes to shared micromobility modes. A calculation approach of parking areas will be proposed and applied in an agent-based simulation model mimicking the mode choice of travellers in Delft. Moreover, shared micromobility modes regarding vehicle characteristics (speed and cost) will be differentiated, so their impacts on mode choice and land space will also be investigated. Additionally, this study made a sensitivity analysis of coefficients of utility functions to test the reliability and validity of the results.Civil Engineering | Transport and Plannin
Impacts of Micro-Scale Built Environment Features on Residential Location Choice: a computer vision-aided assessment
No full textRecent studies have highlighted the significant impact of built environments (BE) in residential neighbourhoods on well-being, focusing on correlations between micro-scale BE features—such as trees, grass, fences, and bikes—and specific well-being aspects like physical health, social interaction, or perceptions of safety. However, these studies often fail to comprehensively explore how these features influence residential preferences or provide clear design guidance. To address this gap, examining residential location choice (RLC) datasets can offer valuable insights into how various micro-scale BE features affect the attractiveness of residential neighbourhoods and residents' well-being. This thesis proposes a semantic Computer Vision-enriched Discrete Choice Model (CV-DCM), which uses a panoptic segmentation model to quantify micro-scale BE features and integrates with traditional discrete choice models. A manual evaluation of 400 masks generated by the semantic computer vision model ensured accurate quantification of BE features, enhancing choice modelling interpretation. The choice modelling results highlight the specific impacts of various micro-scale BE features on RLC, providing valuable insights for urban planners. For instance, restricting unattractive features like motorcycles in residential neighbourhoods and planting or maintaining more trees are the most attractive among vegetation. By pinpointing the most influential elements, the study facilitates the cost-effective restructuring of residential neighbourhoods to boost their attractiveness and enhance residents' well-being.Civil Engineering | Transport and Plannin
Behavior-based student typology: A view from student transition from high school to college
No full textThis record is for a(n) postprint of an article published in Research in Higher Education on 2019-03-05; the version of record is available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s11162-019-09547-x.Several recent studies have successfully identified college student typologies based on individuals’ behaviors. One limitation of past studies has been their reliance on onetime cross-sectional assessments. As a result, we are left to ponder the stability of students’ behavioral types as their academic years move forward. This study used longitudinal student data from high school to college, to investigate the stability of a behavior-based student typology. Guided by findings in behavioral consistency from personality psychology, this study explored the associations of higher education institution’s structure, and supportive elements of the environment and the transition of students’ behavior-based types. The results showed that, in high school and higher education settings, students’ behaviors in a variety of activities classified students into four types. In the higher education setting, about half of the students were of the same behavioral type while the remaining students engaged in changes as compared with their behavior-based types in high school. Students’ background characteristics and institutional environment demonstrated an association related to these shifts.postprin

Differential metabolic responses in three life stages of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis exposed to cadmium
No full textCadmium (Cd) is one of the most important metal contaminants in the Bohai Sea. In this work, NMR-based metabolomics was used to investigate the toxicological effects of Cd at an environmentally relevant concentration (50 A mu g L-1) in three different life stages (D-shape larval, juvenile and adult) of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis. Results indicated that the D-shape larval mussel was the most sensitive life stage to Cd. The significantly different metabolic profiles meant that Cd induced differential toxicological effects in three life stages of mussels. Basically, Cd caused osmotic stress in all the three life stages via different metabolic pathways. Cd exposure reduced the anaerobiosis in D-shape larval mussels and disturbed lipid metabolism in juvenile mussels, respectively. Compared with the D-shape larval and juvenile mussels, the adult mussels reduced energy consumption to deal with Cd stress
Quinoline-4-methyl esters as human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A(2) inhibitors
No full textA series of novel fused heterocycle methyl esters were designed and synthesized as human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A(2) (hnps-PLA(2)) competitive inhibitors. Among the 22 synthesized compounds, 17 quinoline-4-methyl esters displayed hnps-PLA(2) inhibition activity in the in vitro bioassay. The IC50 value for the best compound 3o was 1.5 mu M. The structure-inhibition-activity relationships of the compounds were studied using molecular docking. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
