- Abraham model correlations for solute partitioning into o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene from both water and the gas phase
- This article discusses Abraham model correlations for solute partitioning into o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene from both water and the gas phase. Abstract: Experimental data have been compiled from the publisher literature on the partition coefficients of solutes and vapors into o-xylene, m-xylene and p-xylene at 298 K. The logarithms of the water-to-xylene partition coefficients, log P, and gas-to-xylene partition coefficients, log K, were correlated with the Abraham solvation parameter model. The derived mathematical expressions described the observed log P and log K data for the three xylene isomers to within average deviations of 0.14 log units or less. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc155635/
- Abraham Model Correlations for Transfer of Neutral Molecules and Ions to Sulfolane
- This article discusses Abraham model correlations for the transfer of neutral molecules and ions to sulfolane. Data have been compiled from the published literature on the partition coefficients of solutes and vapors into anhydrous sulfolane. The logarithms of the water-to-sulfolane partition coefficients, log P, and gas-to-sulfolane partition coefficients, log K, were correlated with the Abraham solvation parameter model. The derived correlations described the observed log P and log K values for solutes dissolved in sulfolane to within average standard deviations of 0.14 log units or less. The log P correlation was extended to include the partition of ions by inclusion of a cation-solvent and an anion-solvent term. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc157293/

- Acetylcholine-Containing Neuroepithelial Cells in Fish Gills Support the Cholinergic Hypothesis of O2 Chemoreception
- This paper discusses research on acetylcholine-containing neuroepithelial cells in fish gills. Abstract: The neurochemical link between O2 chemoreceptors and afferent nerves that carry information about O2 levels to cardio-ventilatory centers in the brain has yet to be determined. This study examines the roles of two candidate neurotransmitters thought to be involved in O2 chemoreception, using channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Fish gills are the evolutionary progenitors of arterial arches (aortic and carotid) of mammals where O2 chemoreceptors are located. Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) containing serotonin (5-HT) and acetylcholine (Ach) were confirmed in the first gill arch using immunohistochemistry and laser confocal microscopy. 5-HT-containing NECs were aggregated around the efferent branchial artery, near tips of filaments and lamellae, ACh-containing NECs at the distal tips of filaments. Preliminary co-localization experiments indicate separate 5-HT and Ach-containing cells. This is the first demonstration of ACh-containing NECs and results of this study support pharmacological studies suggesting that ACh is the primary neurochemical involved in O2 chemoreception in vertebrates. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86190/

- The Action of Action Research: An Analysis of Action Research Projects Completed in the UNT/Denton ISD PDS
- This paper discusses Action research. Abstract: Action research is the inquiry part of a Professional Development School (PDS) model that all UNT elementary education, pre-service teacher/student interns complete with mentor teachers during student teaching. Approximately 300 projects were completed across four years in the Denton PDS. The 300 projects were examined to determine the trends in action research. Due to the qualitative nature of the study, there were no hypotheses, only assumptions that there were trends. The method used to examine the projects employed qualitative analysis techniques using the electronic program NVIVO. The results indicated that there were trends in questions that tended toward behavioral and transition issues in the classroom. The major research conclusion is that the Denton PDS follows the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) PDS Standards in the categories of "At Standard" and "Leading" in the area of action research implementation. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc86181/

- Activation of water on the TiO2 (110) surface: The case of Ti adatoms
- This article discusses the activation of water on the TiO2 (110) surface. Abstract: Using first-principles calculations the authors have studied the reactions of water over Ti adatoms on the (110) surface of rutile TiO2. The authors' results provide fundamental insights into the microscopic mechanisms that drive this reaction at the atomic level and assess the possibility of using this system to activate the water dissociation reaction. In particular, the authors show that a single water molecule dissociates exothermically with a small energy barrier of 0.17 eV. After dissociation, both H⁺ and OH⁻ ions bind strongly to the Ti adatom, which serves as an effective reactive center on the TiO2 surface. Finally, clustering of Ti adatoms does not improve the redox activity of the system and results in a slightly higher energy barrier for water dissociation. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc132989/

- Adopt-A-Molecule: A guided Inquiry for Increasing Student Interest in Organic Chemistry
- This paper discusses the "Adopt-A-Molecule" project. Abstract: Adopt-A-Molecule was a 9-week long, two-part term project, undertaken by students enrolled in the first of the 2-semester sequence in organic chemistry (Fall 2009). This newly developed project was an attempt to increase students' interest in organic chemistry by giving them semester-long opportunities to actively explore a range of organic compounds and their varied applications in the real world. Several substances commonly found in food, medicines, personal care products, sports equipment, etc, were selected for this project. At the beginning of the semester, each student was assigned one of these substances, which they "adopted" for the term. During the first 5 weeks, prompted by a series of questions to guide their inquiry, students gathered, and reported weekly, information regarding various properties of their adopted molecule. Many of the questions paralleled the topics under discussion in class. The following week, each student created a "Molecule Profile" that included all the previously gathered information, along with the other interesting facts that they had uncovered. A sample profile was shown briefly in class, but no template was provided, and students were encouraged to use their creativity to build visually appealing profiles. The student-generated profiles were then published to the class. Everyone was expected to browse the profiles created by their classmates and then answer a series of "compare-and-contrast"-type questions, assigned over the next three weeks. Anecdotal evidence suggests that students enjoyed this activity and that the project helped increase students' awareness and interest in the chemical world around them. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc84347/
- African American Parental Involvement
- This paper discusses a research project on the relationship between African American parent volunteer involvement and student reading scores. Abstract: In this research project, the school counselor and the student teacher investigated the relationship between African American parent volunteer involvement and student reading scores. The parents involved were chosen based on their child's Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) score, which were low in all cases. The parents received a newsletter each month that contained information on ways to help their child at home and school and how they could volunteer at school. Before the study began, the parents were not required to volunteer. The study hypothesis was that parent involvement would help the children academically. During the study, the parents were required to volunteer at least three times during a given time period. Volunteerism was tracked using the electronic sign-in system in the school office. By that the end of the school term, the student's reading SRI scores showed improvement in all cases. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc94287/

- Amazon Mechanical Turk for Subjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation
- This paper discusses word sense disambiguation. Abstract: Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a marketplace for so-called "human intelligence tasks" (HITs), or tasks that are easy for humans but currently difficult for automated processes. Providers upload tasks to MTurk which workers then complete. Natural language annotation is one such human intelligence task. In this paper, the authors investigate using MTurk to collect annotations for Subjectivity Word Sense Disambiguation (SWSD), a course-grained word sense disambiguation task. The authors investigate whether they can use MTurk to acquire good annotations with respect to gold-standard data, whether they can filter out low-quality workers (spammers), and whether there is a learning effect associated with repeatedly completing the same kind of task. While our results with respect to spammers are inconclusive, the authors are able to obtain high-quality annotations for the SWSD task. These results suggest a greater role for MTurk with respect to constructing a large scale SWSD system in the future, promising substantial improvement in subjectivity and sentiment analysis. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc31023/

- Amygdala involvement in human avoidance, escape and approach behavior
- This article discusses amygdala involvement in human avoidance, escape and approach behavior. Abstract: Many forms of psychopathology and substance abuse problems are characterized by chronic ritualized forms of avoidance and escape behavior that are designed to control or modify external or internal (i.e., thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations) threats. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging investigation, the authors examined amygdala reactivity to threatening cues when avoidance responding consistently prevented contact with an upcoming aversive event (money loss). In addition, the authors examined escape responding that terminated immediate escalating money loss and approach responding that produced a future money gain. Results showed cues prompting avoidance, escape and approach behavior recruited a similar fronto-striatal-parietal network. Within the amygdala, bilateral activation was observed to threatening avoidance and escape cues, even though money loss was consistently avoided, as well as to the reward cue. The magnitude of amygdala responses within-subjects was relatively similar to avoidance, escape and approach cues, but considerable between-subject differences were found. The heightened amygdala response to avoidance and escape cues observed within a subset of subjects suggests threat related responses can be maintained even when aversive events are consistently avoided, which may account for the persistence of avoiding-coping in various clinical disorders. Further assessment of the relation between amygdala reactivity and avoidance-escape behavior may prove useful in identifying individuals with or at risk for neuropsychiatric disorders. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc77178/

- Analyzing the Persistence of Referenced Web Resources with Memento
- This paper analyzes the persistence of referenced web resources with memento. Abstract: In this paper we present the results of a study into the persistence and availability of web resources referenced from papers in scholarly repositories. Two repositories with different characteristics, arXiv and the UNT digital library, are studied to determine if the nature of the repository, or of its content. Memento makes it possible to automate discovery of archived resources and to consider the time between the publication of the research and the archiving of the reference URLs. This automation allows us to process more than 160000 URLs, the largest known such study, and the repository metadata allows consideration of the results by discipline. The results are startling: 45% (66096) of the URLs referenced from arXiv still exist, but are not preserved for future generations, and 28% of resources referenced by UNT papers have been lost. Moving forwards, we provide some initial recommendations, including that repositories should publish URL lists extracted from papers that could be used as seeds for web archiving systems. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc39318/
- Anchor Nodes Placement for Effective Passive Localization
- This paper discusses anchor nodes placement for effective passive localization. Abstract: In many applications, the exact location of the sensor nodes is unknown after deployment. Localization is a process used to locate sensor nodes' positional coordinates, which is vital information. The localization is generally assisted by anchor nodes that are also sensor nodes but with known locations. Anchor nodes generally are expensive and need to be optimally placed for effective localization. Passive localization is one of the localization techniques where the sensor nodes silently listen to the global events like thunder sounds, seismic waves, lighting, etc. According to previous studies, the ideal location to place anchor nodes was on the perimeter of the sensor network. This may not be the case in passive localization, since the function of anchor nodes here is different than the anchor nodes used in other localization systems. The authors do extensive studies on positioning anchor nodes for effective localization. Several simulations are run in dense and sparse networks for proper positioning of anchor nodes. The authors show that, for effective passive localization, the optimal placement of the anchor nodes is at the center of the network in such a way that no three anchor nodes share linearity. The more the non-linearity, the better the localization. The localization for our network design proves better when the authors place anchor nodes to form right angles. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc77116/
- Anger Within an HIV+ Population in Relation to Stigma and Anxiety

- Appendix C: MetaArchive-iRODS Transfer Prep
- This is an appendix to the MetaArchive Final Report. This appendix document describes the preparation of archival units residing on a LOCKSS file system that have been designated for packaging and exchange with a non-LOCKSS-based preservation environment-in this case an iRODS grid-based environment. This process was tested with the University of North Texas (UNT) and Chronopolis (SDSC). Further development would be needed to integrate packaging mechanisms for use with other non-iRODS environments. The packaging process is accomplished using a combination of content serving features enabled through the LOCKSS software, a custom script ("lockssbagger") developed by UNT, and BagIt (CDL-LOC) as the primary exchange mechanism. The lockssbagger tool is detailed in Appendix B. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109714/
- Appendix D: LOCKSSBAGGER Tool

The user has the option of creating and sending filled bags, or holey bags. The primary tools are written in Python, and make use of the iRODS command line utilities for data transfer. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109715/
- Appendix E: MetaArchive-iRODS Transfer
- This is an appendix to the MetaArchive Final Report. This appendix document describes an automation process that involved the sending of a Folger Shakespeare Library collection (246 archival units measuring 1.3TB) hosted on a University of North Texas (UNT) LOCKSS cache to a storage resource hosted by Chronopolis at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). In order to transfer the content to the iRODS-based Chronopolis data grid, each archival unit needed to be extracted from the LOCKSS cache, and sent via use of the iRODS icommands client utilities. In addition, it was imperative to monitor the transfer at all possible points to detect corruption and make certain that the integrity of the data was maintained. Finally, for the purpose of benchmarking and information gathering, time-based statistics needed to be recorded for each stage of the transfer. These processes were managed by a set of Python-based scripts and utilities that are described in this document. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc109716/
