An exploration of information and communication technology use on the part of Eritrean refugees in Rome, Italy

Creator:: Opas, Matthew E.
Abstract:: Thesis explores the ways in which Information and Communication Technology (ICT)use, specifically that of telephones and the Internet, impacts the lives of Eritrean refugees in Rome, Italy. Informal interviews, semi-structured interviews, and participant observation were carried out in a 'center of second reception.' Results show that information obtained through the...

Open Source barriers to entry, revisited : a tools perspective

Creator:: Mendez, Christopher, Pedala, Hema Susmita, Steine-Hanson, Zoe, Hilderbrand, Claudia, Horvath, Amber, Hill, Charles, Simpson, Logan, Patil, Nupoor, Sarma, Anita, and Burnett, Margaret
Abstract:: Software (OSS) communities and that women disproportionately experience such barriers. However, this research has focused mainly on social/cultural factors, ignoring the environment itself — the tools and infrastructure. To shed some light onto how tools and infrastructure might somehow factor into OSS barriers to entry, we conducted a field study...

Wave Energy Converter Array Optimization : Algorithm Development and Investigation of Layout Design Influences

Creator:: Sharp, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Realizing the vast amount of energy available in ocean waves, an industry has emerged that is progressing towards the deployment of grid–connected wave energy converters. Likely to be deployed in arrays, a challenge to the wave energy industry is maximizing the energy production of such arrays. We have been developing...

Educational Migration in Indonesia : An Ethnography of Eastern Indonesian Students in Malang, Java

Creator:: Foertsch, Christopher R.
Abstract:: This research explores the experience of the growing number of students from Eastern Indonesia who attend universities on Java. It asks key questions about the challenges these often maligned students face as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities exposed to the dominant culture of their republic during their years of education....

Fixing Inclusivity Bugs: Information Processing Styles and Learning Styles

Creator:: Steine-Hanson, Zoe K.
Abstract:: Most software systems today do not support cognitive diversity. Further, because of differences in problem-solving styles that cluster by gender, software that poorly supports cognitive diversity can also embed gender biases. To help software professionals fix gender bias “bugs” related to people’s problem-solving styles for information processing and learning of...

Colorimetric analysis of creatinine in whole blood and urine in a novel paper/polycaprolactone microfluidic device

Creator:: Pommerenck, Joel, Heist, Christopher A., and Remcho, Vincent T.
Abstract:: A novel approach for the colorimetric detection of creatinine in a paper/polycaprolactone hybrid microfluidic device using alkaline3,5-dinitrobenzoate (DNB) is described. The reaction parameters of reagent concentration, alkalinity, and analysis time are optimized for fast reaction times and high color yield. Microfluidic devices incorporating this assay are designed and fabricated to...

Changes to particulate versus mineral-associated soil carbon after 50 years of litter manipulation in forest and prairie experimental ecosystems

Creator:: Lajtha, Kate, Townsend, Kimberly L., Kramer, Marc G., Swanston, Christopher, Bowden, Richard D., and Nadelhoffer, Knute
Abstract:: Models of ecosystem carbon (C) balance generally assume a strong relationship between NPP, litter inputs, and soil C accumulation, but there is little direct evidence for such a coupled relationship. Using a unique 50-year detrital manipulation experiment in a mixed deciduous forest and in restored prairie grasslands in Wisconsin, combined...

Practices for Engineering Gender-Inclusivity into Software

Creator:: Hilderbrand, Claudia
Abstract:: Although the need for gender-inclusivity in software itself is gaining attention among both SE researchers and SE practitioners, and methods have been published to help, little has been reported on how to make such methods work in real-world settings. For example, how do busy software practitioners use such methods in...

Comprehensive, Low-Cost Wicking Microfluidic Analytical Devices for Clinical Diagnostics and Environmental Analysis

Creator:: Bandara, Gayan C.
Abstract:: Analytical techniques are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Traditionally, analytical measurements are achieved by trained personnel in a laboratory setting using expensive scientific instruments, which limits their applicability in resource-limited areas and point-of-care applications. Therefore, the concept of enabling these laboratory-based qualitative and quantitative assays in microfluidic device...

Mapping the Global Emergence of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus

Creator:: Olson, Deanna H., Aanensen, David M., Ronnenberg, Kathryn L., Powell, Christopher I., Walker, Susan F., Bielby, Jon, Garner, Trenton W. J., Weaver, George, The Bd Mapping Group, and Fisher, Matthew C.
Abstract:: The rapid worldwide emergence of the amphibian pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is having a profound negative impact on biodiversity. However, global research efforts are fragmented and an overarching synthesis of global infection data is lacking. Here, we provide results from a community tool for the compilation of worldwide Bd presence...
