Research and Creative Activity, July 1, 2020-June 30, 2021: Major Sponsored Programs and Faculty Accomplishments in Research and Creative Activity, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Foreword by Bob Wilhelm, Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development, University of Nebraska-Lincoln:
This booklet highlights successes in research, scholarship and creative activity by University of NebraskaâLincoln faculty during the fiscal year running July 1, 2020, to June 30, 2021.
It lists investigators, project titles and funding sources on major grants and sponsored awards received during the year; fellowships and other recognitions and honors bestowed on our faculty; books and chapters published by faculty; performances, exhibitions and other examples of creative activity; patents and licensing agreements issued; National Science Foundation I-CORPS teams; and peer-reviewed journal articles and conference presentations. In recognition of the important role faculty have in the undergraduate experience at Nebraska, this booklet notes the students and mentors participating in the Undergraduate Creative Activities and Research Experience (UCARE) and the First-Year Research Experience (FYRE) programs.
While metrics cannot convey the full impact of our work, they are tangible measures of growth. A few achievements of note:
⢠UNL achieved a record 372 million.
⢠Industry sponsorship supported 6.48 million in licensing income.
I applaud the Nebraska Research community for its determination and commitment during a challenging year. Your hard work has made it possible for our momentum to continue growing.
Our university is poised for even greater success. The Grand Challenges initiative provides a framework for developing bold ideas to solve societyâs greatest issues, which is how we will have the greatest impact as an institution. Please visit research.unl.edu/grandchallenges to learn more. Weâre also renewing our campus commitment to a journey of anti-racism and racial equity, which is among the most important work weâll do.
I am pleased to present this record of accomplishments.

Coding Theory
This book explores the latest developments, methods, approaches, and applications of coding theory in a wide variety of fields and endeavors. It consists of seven chapters that address such topics as applications of coding theory in networking and cryptography, wireless sensor nodes in wireless body area networks, the construction of linear codes, and more
New Directions for Contact Integrators
Contact integrators are a family of geometric numerical schemes which
guarantee the conservation of the contact structure. In this work we review the
construction of both the variational and Hamiltonian versions of these methods.
We illustrate some of the advantages of geometric integration in the
dissipative setting by focusing on models inspired by recent studies in
celestial mechanics and cosmology.Comment: To appear as Chapter 24 in GSI 2021, Springer LNCS 1282
Critical Thinking Skills Profile of High School Students In Learning Science-Physics
This study aims to describe Critical Thinking Skills high school students in the city of Makassar. To achieve this goal, the researchers conducted an analysis of student test results of 200 people scattered in six schools in the city of Makassar. The results of the quantitative descriptive analysis of the data found that the average value of students doing the interpretation, analysis, and inference in a row by 1.53, 1.15, and 1.52. This value is still very low when compared with the maximum value that may be obtained by students, that is equal to 10.00. This shows that the critical thinking skills of high school students are still very low. One fact Competency Standards science subjects-Physics is demonstrating the ability to think logically, critically, and creatively with the guidance of teachers and demonstrate the ability to solve simple problems in daily life. In fact, according to Michael Scriven stated that the main task of education is to train students and or students to think critically because of the demands of work in the global economy, the survival of a democratic and personal decisions and decisions in an increasingly complex society needs people who can think well and make judgments good. Therefore, the need for teachers in the learning device scenario such as: driving question or problem, authentic Investigation: Science Processes
A UNIFYING FIELD IN LOGICS: NEUTROSOPHIC LOGIC. NEUTROSOPHY, NEUTROSOPHIC SET, NEUTROSOPHIC PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS - 6th ed.
It was a surprise for me when in 1995 I received a manuscript from the mathematician, experimental writer and innovative painter Florentin Smarandache, especially because the treated subject was of philosophy - revealing paradoxes - and logics. He had generalized the fuzzy logic, and introduced two new concepts: a) âneutrosophyâ â study of neutralities as an extension of dialectics; b) and its derivative âneutrosophicâ, such as âneutrosophic logicâ, âneutrosophic setâ, âneutrosophic probabilityâ, and âneutrosophic statisticsâ and thus opening new ways of research in four fields: philosophy, logics, set theory, and probability/statistics. It was known to me his setting up in 1980âs of a new literary and artistic avant-garde movement that he called âparadoxismâ, because I received some books and papers dealing with it in order to review them for the German journal âZentralblatt fur Mathematikâ. It was an inspired connection he made between literature/arts and science, philosophy. We started a long correspondence with questions and answers. Because paradoxism supposes multiple value sentences and procedures in creation, antisense and non-sense, paradoxes and contradictions, and itâs tight with neutrosophic logic, I would like to make a small presentation
Natural Communication
In Natural Communication, the author criticizes the current paradigm of specific goal orientation in the complexity sciences. His model of "natural communication" encapsulates modern theoretical concepts from mathematics and physics, in particular category theory and quantum theory. The author is convinced that only by looking to the past is it possible to establish continuity and coherence in the complexity science
Minimising mathematical anxiety in teaching mathematics and assessing studentâs work
This paper builds up a theoretical perspective and supports a possibility of creating a special assessment environment for students, where mathematical knowledge and understanding can be assessed with a reduced number of external psychological factors that may affect such assessment. A concept of a zone with minimal effect of anxiety is introduced and described. Studentsâ successful work on extending the zone by means of a carefully selected chain of questions, where some questions only are part of a real assessment, allows students to reconsider their attitudes towards mathematics and assist teachers to identify some studentsâ main learning difficulties as of psychological character. Further suggestions about developing and investigating special assessment environments are outlined and discussed
