▼ A common goal among nurse educators is to adequately prepare graduates to be competent, caring professionals who deliver the highest standard of care. For the nursing school graduate, the first step to attaining this goal is success on the NCLEX-RN. Nurse educators are constantly seeking new strategies to help better prepare graduates for first time NCLEX-RN success. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between student access to computer-adaptive quizzing software program during the final semester of a baccalaureate nursing program and first time NCLEX-RN success. Employing the principles of retrieval practice theory, computer-adaptive quizzing is a strategy used in nursing education to allow students to study, evaluate, remediate, and reevaluate mastery of nursing concepts. Computer-adaptive quizzing was developed using the foundational principles of computer-adaptive testing and item response theory, which have been utilized in education, psychology, and computer science for many years. A retrospective, descriptive correlational design was used to compare NCLEX-RN outcomes of one cohort of students who did not have access to the computer-adaptive quizzing software (n=99) and one cohort who did have access (n=96). The computer-adaptive quizzing software program that was used in this study was PassPoint ®, a product of Wolters Kluwer Health. There were no statistically significant differences between the two cohorts related to age, gender, race, pre-nursing science GPA, nursing GPA, nursing course failures, and if other degrees were held. There were no major course changes or revisions over the four semesters of the study other than the implementation of the PassPoint adaptive quizzing software. Chi-square analysis suggested that there was an association between having access to and using the software and NCLEX-RN success (p< .001; df=1) with 16.16% of those not having access being unsuccessful on the NCLEX-RN compared to 1.05% of those with access being unsuccessful. Logistic regression showed the predictive model significantly predicted that 18% of the variability of NCLEX-RN success could be linked with usage of the adaptive quizzing software.

▼ As a functionalized pentacene, 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene (TIPS pentacene) is a p-type organic semiconductor with remarkable intrinsic charge carrier transport and stability in ambient conditions. TIPS pentacene is soluble in most organic solvents, making it solution processable. TIPS pentacene, nonetheless, inherently forms acutely anisotropic crystals with large gaps in between the crystals, limiting charge transport and leading to vast variations in organic thin film transistor (OTFT) performance. Described in this dissertation are crystal growth techniques implemented to overcome these challenges. The presented temperature gradient technique, achieves highly aligned crystal arrays with excellent areal coverage which essentially results in an enhanced OTFT performance. The technique is firstly utilized to guide the TIPS pentacene crystal growth. An application of a temperature gradient to a TIPS pentacene solution controls the crystallization process to alleviate the intrinsic crystal misorientation and considerably improve film morphology. Employing this method resulted in TIPS pentacene films with uniform crystal orientations and extensive areal coverage. The favorable crystal morphology gave rise to a significant enhancement in OTFT average mobility compared to OTFTs without the temperature gradient. Employing the temperature gradient technique, however, simultaneously introduced thermal cracks in the films due to the occurrence of thermally induced stress during crystallization, which reduced the device performance of the TIPS pentacene OTFTs. To further improve the performance of TIPS pentacene based OTFTs, TIPS pentacene was blended with polymers to relieve the thermal stress and effectively prevent the generation of thermal cracks. Structural examination of, specifically, TIPS pentacene/Poly(?-methyl styrene) (P?MS) blend films at an optimal weight ratio, revealed a vertical phase segregation with elevated concentrations of TIPS pentacene molecules at the active layer/gate dielectric interface, facilitating charge transport. Thus, OTFTs based on TIPS pentacene/P?MS blends exhibited a dramatic increase in average hole mobility compared to those of pristine TIPS pentacene. In addition, an improved thin film uniformity directly enhanced the device performance consistency. Following the success of employing the temperature gradient technique concurrently with the insulating polymer, P?MS, studies were extended to build OTFTs on flexible substrates, indium tin oxide (ITO) coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to dramatically improve TIPS pentacene/P?MS system. Ultimately, TIPS pentacene/P?MS OTFTs on ITO/PET substrates demonstrated the highest achieved mobility from utilizing the temperature gradient system.

▼ A novel combination cancer therapy platform incorporating chemotherapy and hyperthermia is proposed. Magnetic nanoparticles are included as a way to achieve the hyperthermia treatment, as well as for use as a platform for targeting, imaging, or other therapeutic moieties. Cobalt ferrite (CoFe₂O₄) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized and tagged with the fluorescent dye rhodamine for tracking in biological systems. The MNP solutions were characterized to determine average diameters of the nanoparticles. Results indicate that sample age, solvent, and concentration can affect the diameters of MNP agglomerates as measured by dynamic light scattering. Older and more concentrated samples, which also tend to be less stable, showed larger MNP sizes than newer and less concentrated samples. Rhodamine-tagged MNPs showed smaller diameters than untagged MNPs at the same concentrations. For MNP in HeLa cell localization studies, the rhodamine-tagged MNPs showed uptake and localization in the cytoplasm of the cells. Partition coefficients, or the ratios of MNP concentrations inside the cells to the extracellular concentration, were shown to increase during the first 6 h of incubation time, with values reaching as high as 3.805, indicating favorable uptake of the MNPs. After 24 h, a smaller ratio of internalized MNPs was seen due to cytotoxic properties of the high concentration of MNPs used in those experiments. Toxicity studies showed that at concentrations below approximately 0.025 mg/mL, both rhodamine-tagged and untagged CoFe₂O₄ MNPs have little effect on cell viability. MNP localization and toxicity studies were also carried out on a model organism, C. elegans worms, with an indication that rhodamine-tagged CoFe₂O₄ MNPs were non-toxic to worms over a period of 12 days. Localization of the MNPs within the worms was inconclusive due to indistinguishable autofluorescence of the C. elegans and the rhodamine fluorescence of tagged MNPs. Further work is needed to characterize the CoFe₂O₄ MNPs for use in the cancer treatment platform.

▼ This thesis presents a new trajectory optimization software package developed in the framework of a low-to-high fidelity three degree-of-freedom (3-DOF)/6-DOF vehicle simulation program named Mission Analysis Simulation Tool in Fortran (MASTIF) and its application to a translunar trajectory optimization problem. The functionality of the developed optimization package is implemented as a new “mode” in generalized settings to make it applicable for a general trajectory optimization problem. In doing so, a direct optimization method using collocation is employed for solving the problem. Trajectory optimization problems in MASTIF are transcribed to a constrained nonlinear programming (NLP) problem and solved with SNOPT, a commercially available NLP solver. A detailed description of the optimization software developed is provided as well as the transcription specifics for the translunar injection (TLI) problem. This assessment of the final results is formulated via a metric given as the minimization of the TLI main engine burn time, which is equivalent to the maximization of the mass at main engine cutoff (MECO). Key design parameters include the initial values for three orbital angles (right ascension of ascending node, argument of perigee, and true anomaly) and three Euler angles for steering during the main engine burn. To do so, the solution starts by modeling the entire trajectory into three distinct phases. The first two phases are based on a collocation method whereas the third phase appears with a high order Runge-Kutta integration. The next part of assessing the TLI trajectory utilizes MASTIF's vehicle simulation capabilities (the other “mode” within MASTIF). This includes the ability to design and test new and existing guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) algorithms. As a demonstration of MASTIF's versatility, results from the trajectory optimization (the open-loop solution) in the form of a set of initial states and specific orbital target parameters at MECO are used in a new preliminary assessment of a variant of the Space Shuttle's flight-proven closed-loop guidance algorithm named Powered Explicit Guidance (PEG). Main engine burn times and the LVLH Euler angles from the open-loop and closed-loop solutions are compared to show approximate agreement and efficacy of MASTIF's two distinct “modes”.

▼ Air compressors are significant energy users in nearly every industrial facility. Air compressors have become a primary focus of industrial energy audits because they are vital for production processes but are very energy inefficient machines. Industrial energy auditors often perform a detailed energy analysis on a compressed air system using logged amperage data from the air compressors in the system. Most of the current air compressor simulation tools use logged power data to perform simulation according to an electrical analysis. These tools perform their analysis based on averaged power draws taken from the logged amperage data. The airflow demands of a compressed air system are then calculated based on the general shape of the performance profile. This static analysis of a compressed air system's operation invariably prompts an inquisitive auditor to dynamically model a compressed air system. While the current compressed air software tools are useful for modeling systems with an electrical analysis, a potential exists to develop a modeling tool with a sound physics and thermodynamics based approach. This thesis responds to the need for a transient thermodynamic compressed air system model. The central focus of the resulting investigation is the generation of a comprehensive compressed air model to be used in analyzing recorded airflow supply data from a rotary screw air compressor operating under three different capacity control methods. The rotary screw compressor is chosen as a focus of this work because of its dominance in the industrial air compressor market. System responses will be tracked for verification of the compressed air model. Several compressed air system examples will be evaluated to reflect compressor operation under adequate and inadequate storage. The main objective of this report is to: educate the reader on the performance of current rotary screw compressors, describe the generation of a transient thermodynamic compressed air model, analyze several different compressed air systems, and evaluate these compressed air systems through quantitative and qualitative comparisons.

▼ Macquarie Island, located in the Southern Ocean, is a section of subaerially exposed oceanic crust formed at the now extinct proto-Macquarie, slow-spreading, mid-ocean ridge. Macquarie Island is unique among oceanic ophiolite sequences in that it is still located in the basin in which it formed. The northernmost part of Macquarie Island is composed primarily of lower crustal gabbro and upper mantle peridotite, and therefore provides a unique window into lower oceanic crust. Here, we report integrated Pb/U zircon ages and Lu-Hf isotopic and trace element data from six samples of the lower crust-upper mantle sequence. Samples consist of two lower crustal gabbros, and three mantle-hosted gabbro dikes/dikelettes and one phlogopite-bearing vein from the upper mantle sequence. ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U SHRIMP-RG zircon error weighted average ages for the lower crustal gabbros are 8.7 ± 0.3 Ma (N = 9) and 9.0 ± 0.2 Ma (N = 13), whereas the mantle-hosted gabbro dikes/dikelettes yield overlapping error-weighted average ages of 8.7 ± 0.2 Ma (N = 9), 8.7 ± 0.3 Ma (N = 8), and 8.9 ± 0.2 Ma (N = 11) (all errors 2σ). The phlogopite vein yielded a slightly younger error weighted average age of 8.5 ± 0.1 Ma (N = 11). Initial epsilon Hf results for zircons from the same samples show a broad distribution ranging from +9.5 to +13.3 for the lower crustal gabbro (N = 28), +7.0 to +16.4 for the gabbro dikes/dikelettes (N = 24), and +8.4 to +12.2 for the phlogopite vein (N = 12). The wide range in values (particularly from the gabbro dikes/dikelettes) is consistent with a heterogeneous source region composed of depleted- and enriched mantle sources. Zircon trace element concentrations also support a heterogeneous source, displaying enrichment in U/Yb relative to N-MORB zircons from the Mid-Atlantic and Southwest Indian Ridge systems. No pattern of enrichment with time is observed within the resolution of the U-Pb zircon dates. We interpret these results to indicate that magmatic construction of Macquarie Island occurred between 8.7 and 9.0 Ma and involved sampling of at least two distinct mantle sources.

▼ A computational study is carried out on low Reynolds number impulsive and pulsating annular jets. This work is inspired by the biological flow of marine life that uses jet propulsion for self maneuver. Marine life such as squids and jellyfish propel themselves by discharging a water jet followed by a refilling phase. The discharging portion is a starting jet, i.e. the releasing of a moving fluid into a quiescent fluid, while the refilling phase can be viewed as an inflow jet. The combined jets will be called fully oscillating jets. Although fully oscillating jets have been indirectly examined experimentally, they have never been studied computationally. This dissertation is divided into three investigations that examine the starting jet, inflow jet, and fully oscillating jet based on the resultant force (i.e. either thrust or suction force) at the annulus exit plane, jet efficiency, and vortex dynamics. Furthermore, each of the following three performance criterion is examined under various velocity imposed boundaries (i.e. impulsive, unit pulsed, and sinusoidal pulsed jets), ambient pressure, and blocking ratios. An axisymmetric, incompressible and unsteady Navier Stokes numerical model was used to implement the analysis. The model was validated against theoretical and experimental results, where both result types bounded the computational results of this endeavor. In addition, numerical verification was carried out on each of the three investigations ensuring grid and time independent results. Several substantial outcomes were drawn from the results of the three investigations. The numerical results confirmed previously published experimental data regarding the universal dimensionless time scale (i.e. vortex formation number) of optimal vortex ring development triggered by starting jets. Moreover, the computational results showed evidence that the vortex formation number was not affected by ambient pressure nor blocking ratio. The computational results also confirmed earlier experimental findings that pulsed jet inflows trigger a standing vortex ring. Furthermore, the current study showed that impulsive jet inflows do not trigger vortex ring formation. In addition, unlike the expected net thrust of zero due to mass flux, fully oscillating jets showed evidence of thrust augmentation due to the enhanced entrainment caused by the vortex formation.

▼ The purpose of this study was to identify areas of commonality, if any, among the practices, knowledge, and beliefs of successful teachers of English Language Learners’ (ELL) cultural competencies in northeast Alabama. The study’s participants were identified as exemplary educators of ELL students by their principal or another supervisor within their school or district. The research illustrating the impact those teachers’ epistemological beliefs or their reflective practice’s had on student outcomes was used as a guide for this study. This study examined the epistemological beliefs and reflective practices of exemplary teachers of ELL students and was based on the assumptions that: (a) teacher epistemology is an important component of cultural competency, (b) teachers’ use of reflective practice is an important component of cultural competency, and (c) commonalities can be identified among teachers’ beliefs and practices related to educating ELL students. The final assumption was that if the identified effective teachers of ELL students had higher levels of epistemological beliefs and/or were more reflective, it would be beneficial to ask practitioners to engage in activities that transform their epistemologies and change their reflective capabilities. The study procedures included gathering demographic information regarding experience and training, conducting an interview that pertained to the factors in Schommer’s Epistemological Survey and to Arredondo Rucinski and Bauch’s Reflective, Ethical, and Moral Assessment Survey (REMAS) that asked questions about how their teachers’ practices were implemented and how these practices are enacted in the classroom. The researcher then transcribed and analyzed the interview data to identify connecting statements and common themes in the interviews. This study described commonalities among exemplary teachers of ELL students. The participants were found to have sophisticated levels of epistemological beliefs and were found to be reflective in their practices and beliefs. Additionally, the participants were found to use strategies that engaged their students through active participation and multiple modes of inquiry. The findings suggested that instructional leaders should develop the beliefs and skills concerning epistemology and reflective practice among their faculty to increase teacher capacity.

▼ Ionic liquids (ILs, briefly defined as salts exhibiting melting points below 100 degrees centrigrade) have been extensively researched in the past few decades, where properties controllable through selective variation in ion structure have supported a variety of discoveries in materials design. The modular combination of available ‘IL-forming’ cations and anions provides retention of properties inherent to ILs such as low melting points, good thermal stability and negligible vapor pressure. Additionally, the dual-functional nature of ILs, whereby the design of functionalized ions is compartmentalized, can target specific physicochemical properties. Such transformable chemistry provides access to new design options from which contemporary problems in materials synthesis and applications may be strategically addressed. Due to the potential to reduce environmental health and safety hazards as well as access the systematic design of energetic materials, energetic ionic liquids (EILs) are identified as a class of materials which may afford new and improved alternatives to conventional propellants, explosives, and fuels. Rather than aiming to synthesize new energetic materials, the effort of this research was to develop a working knowledge of how to affect changes in EIL properties through modification of ion structure and composition, as well as to develop new design concepts that could provide effective strategies for future EIL synthesis. The approach to the investigations described here was two-fold, where the synthesis of EILs was achieved by either a conventional dual-functional strategy or multi-heterocyclic ionic liquid (MHIL) design. The main focus for this work includes (i) the synthesis ofN-cyanoalkyl-functionalized imidazolium salts with different energetic anions for examination of effects on IL thermal properties and reactivity, (ii) the conceptual development and experimental demonstration of a new design platform for MHIL synthesis with variable structure, charge, and symmetry, and (iii) the expansion of MHIL design to include new IL structures and to explore novel synthetic methodologies.
