Appreciating Empathy: How Writing Center Collaborations Inform Leadership Development for Student Wellness and Success

The purpose of my action research project was to understand the practice of collaboration within the University of San Diego’s Writing Center as an emerging leader in Higher Education. The goal of this study was to explore the benefits of empathy and relationship development as practiced by the Writing Center to develop leadership strategies for other campus organizations that regularly interact with the institution’s student population. Using several research cycles of Appreciative Inquiry, I observed that the Writing Center functions as a stellar example of collaboration, focusing on peer-to-peer writing consultations with an emphasis on student empathy and relationship development. Working with leaders of the campus community, I then developed a workshop that highlights this style of collaboration as an educational practice and its potential benefits towards students\u27 academic success and sense of belonging to the campus community

Visualizing Levels of Family Satisfaction and Quality of Life in Families with an Autistic Member(s)

This research served to visualize levels of family satisfaction and quality of life in families with an Autistic member(s). Art-based qualitative survey was the primary method of gathering data. The vast majority of the literature on autism focused on the treatment of the child, yet some literature suggested a re-focusing on the family as the unit of treatment may improve family satisfaction and quality of life. Taking this into consideration this research explored how parents experience family satisfaction through written and visual responses. The theme of independence for the child with autism was present in all five visual responses which suggested a desire to see their child functioning autonomously. Due to the inherit bias of therapy’s affect on relationships it was surprising that approximately half of the participants reported not experiencing a change in their relationship with their child after treatment. Both the data gathered and the literature reviewed lead to the research conclusion that the caregivers of a child with Autism experience a higher level of family satisfaction when they are flexible and gain support from mental health services and a community of family and friends

Development of a novel high-speed silicon bipolar transistor utilizing SEG and CLSEG

A new high-speed bipolar transistor structure, the ELOBJT-3, is proposed as a novel application of selective epitaxy technology. The new structure is greatly suited to high-speed ECL circuits, where \rm C\sb{cb}, \rm C\sb{cs}, and \rm R\sb{bx} are of prime importance. The reduction of these parasitics to their nearly theoretical minimums is accomplished through the use of dielectric isolation and concentric contacting. For extremely high speed operation, dimensions can be scaled to sub-micron size due to the completely self-aligned emitter-base region. Simulation was used to compare important device parameters of the ELOBJT-3 device and a comparably sized existing high speed bipolar structure. Results showed significant improvement in all three of the investigated parameters. \rm R\sb{bx}, \rm C\sb{cb}, and \rm C\sb{cs} had reductions of 77, 58, and 43 percent respectively. These simulated values were used in a circuit simulation where ELOBJT-3 devices provided a 37% reduction of propagation delay. The device simulations verified the ELOBJT-3\u27s significantly reduced parasitics and propensity for high speed operation. The ELOBJT-3 self-aligned pedestal structure was obtained following considerable process development. It was found that CLSEG could be grown within an oxide cavity without the use of nitride. If nitride was used, a passivation technique was developed which virtually eliminated nucleation and clogging at the via holes. A PNP configured ELOBJT-3 device with N+ doped CLSEG base contacts was built to establish feasibility of the self-aligned structure. Also, fully functional NPN devices were built in a simplified structure with current gains up to 90. Dislocations and defects at the SEG edge produced unacceptable emitter-collector leakage currents unless the emitter was moved away from the SEG edge. The reported problems with junctions located at SEG sidewalls were avoided by moving the junction out of the sidewall area. Finally, parasitic measurements were correlated with computer simulation to validate the previous comparison simulations

Struktur-Funktionsanalyse des periplasmatischen Chaperons SurA aus Escherichia coli

Das SurA-Protein ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der periplasmatischen Faltungsmaschinerie aus Escherichia coli. Trotz zahlreicher Erkenntnisse sind die Mechanismen der Substraterkennung und -bindung noch nicht abschließend geklärt. Das SurA-Protein ist aus einem Chaperonmodul und zwei PPIase-Domänen aufgebaut. Die Bindestelle eines artifiziellen Peptides wurde zu Beginn der Arbeit in der PPIase-inaktiven Parvulin-Domäne I publiziert. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob auch biologisch relevante, natürliche Peptide an dieser Bindestelle interagieren und ob es noch weitere Substratbindestellen innerhalb von SurA gibt. In ESR-spektroskopischen Versuchen wurde die Interaktion der isolierten Parvulin-Domäne I von SurA mit Peptiden aus einer LamB-Peptid-Bibliothek, sowie mit dem artifiziellen Peptid analysiert. Die Bindung des artifiziellen Peptides und eines Peptides aus der LamB-Peptid-Bibliothek an die isolierte Parvulin-Domäne I konnte nachgewiesen werden. Für weitere an SurA-bindende Peptide konnte an dieser Position keine Interaktion nachgewiesen werden. Mittels des genetischen Indikatorsystems ToxR wurden gezielt Kontaktpunkte zwischen dimerisierten SurA-Untereinheiten bzw. zwischen SurA und Peptid unterbunden, um deren Einfluss auf die wechselseitige Interaktion zu untersuchen. Hierbei wurden einzelne Positionen in isolierten SurA-Domänen identifiziert, die an einer Interaktion beteiligt sind. Die Mutation dieser Interaktionsstellen führten zu keinem signifikanten Verlust der in vivo-Funktion, welche mittels der Fähigkeit der SurA-Varianten zur Komplementation des synthetisch letalen Phänotypen einer surA skp-Doppelmutante untersucht wurde. Die Grundlagen für die Methodik der photoaktivierbaren, ortsspezifischen Quervernetzung von OMP-Polypeptiden an SurA- bzw. SurAI-Proteine wurden etabliert.The SurA protein is an important part of the periplasmic folding machinery in Escherichia coli. Despite numerous findings are the mechanisms of substrate recognition and folding not yet completely resolved. The SurA protein consists of a chaperone module and two parvulin domains. In the beginning of this work a peptide binding site was published which was located in the PPIase inactive parvulin domain I. It was investigated in this thesis whether biological relevant, natural peptides would also bind with this binding site and if additional substrate binding sites exist within the SurA protein. In ESR-spectroscopy experiments both the interaction of the isolated parvulin domain I of SurA with peptides of a LamB peptide library and with the artificial peptide were examined. Binding of the artificial peptide and one peptide of the LamB peptide library to the isolated parvulin domain I could be detected. For the remaining tested peptides, which are confirmed to be SurA binders, no interaction could be verified at this position. By use of the genetic indicator system ToxR the contact points between dimerized SurA subunits respectively between SurA and peptide were prevented site-specifically to examine their influence on the mutual interaction. Here single positions in isolated SurA-domains were identified, which are part of an interaction. The mutation of these interaction sites lead to no significant loss of the in vivo function, which was analyzed by the capability of the SurA variants to complement the synthetic lethal phenotype of a surA skp double mutant. The fundamentals for the method of photoactivated site-specific crosslinking of OMP polypeptides to SurA respectively SurAI were established
