Likelihood inference for particle location in fluorescence microscopy
We introduce a procedure to automatically count and locate the fluorescent
particles in a microscopy image. Our procedure employs an approximate
likelihood estimator derived from a Poisson random field model for photon
emission. Estimates of standard errors are generated for each image along with
the parameter estimates, and the number of particles in the image is determined
using an information criterion and likelihood ratio tests. Realistic
simulations show that our procedure is robust and that it leads to accurate
estimates, both of parameters and of standard errors. This approach improves on
previous ad hoc least squares procedures by giving a more explicit stochastic
model for certain fluorescence images and by employing a consistent framework
for analysis.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/09-AOAS299 the Annals of

Why Ethics Should be on the Critical Thinking Syllabus
Critical thinking texts typically treat ethical reasoning as being in principle no different from non-moral types of reasoning. I argue that there are two distinctive types of ethical argument—those which appeal to principles of right and wrong conduct, and those which appeal to consequences—and that they cannot be properly understood or assessed on the basis of non-ethical models of reasoning. The failure to recognize this produces a simplistic understanding of ethical reasoning, and contributes to the view that ethical judgments are mere expressions of personal feelings
Creation of Occupational Therapy Treatment Protocols for Diagnoses Affecting the Upper Extremities
This doctoral capstone project included creation of 20 conservative and post-surgical occupation-based and occupational therapy focused treatment protocols covering diagnoses affecting the upper extremities as well as a comprehensive protocol manual accompanied by a guide for use. This doctoral capstone poster contains a needs assessment, goals of the project, the protocols development process, the occupational therapy perspective, and examples of the protocols created
Minnesota, Pipestone School, 1925
The Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions (BCIM) was created in 1874 as the Office of the Commissioner for Catholic Indian Missions to protect, promote, and administer the Native American mission interests of the Catholic Church in the United States. Records in this group are organized by record group and then state or territory and year. Collection organization varies very little throughout the collection, however, prior to 1921, general correspondence was organized by location. Starting with Director Hughes, general correspondence was placed as its own subgroup within the collection and is organized alphabetically.
