In this paper, the authors describe one of signature programs launched through Marian K. Shaughnessy Nurse Leadership Academy, post-doctoral system-level executive nursing education program. This program was directly linked to core focus Academy. The design, speakers, and outcomes are presented along with lessons learned, including value power philanthropy, need for flexibility in both scheduli...

There seems to be wide agreement within both industry and academia that there are not enough scientists adequately trained in bioinformatics or computational biology. This sentiment stems principally from the difficulties in finding employees, graduate students and post-docs with appropriate skills for joining research and/or development teams in this field. The recent drain of academics into i...

Writing what has since become a seminal article in the assessment of doctoral training, Nyquist (2002) stated that “we need to honestly assess the efficacy of the PhD now to ensure that its recipients continue to make the kinds of contributions in the public and private spheres that the nation needs to remain strong” (p. 14). Nyquist went on to document shortcomings with the way in which nearly...

The number of doctoral training programs in informatics increases every year, however not every doctoral candidate wishes to pursue a traditional career in academia. In addition, the knowledge and skills acquired through scientific training at the doctoral level can be valuable, even critical, for a number of career paths outside of academic research and teaching. This panel will present a dive...

The quality of education for doctoral students is closely linked to the quality of the research they undertake. Benefiting from technological advances, new distributed and collaborative research practices can be witnessed. The concept of e-science has emerged and evolved to the concept of e-research. These concepts bring about a new research philosophy and the notion of collaboratory. Our resea...

In order to cope with new technologies such as quantum computing and the possibility of developing new algorithms, new cryptosystems should be developed based on a diverse set of unrelated complexity assumptions so that one technique will not break more than a handful of systems. As demonstrated by Shor in 1994, quantum algorithms are known to break traditional cryptosystems based on RSA and Di...

In this thesis, we develop a cryptographic primitive: a solution to the secure set membership problem. The secure set membership problem is the problem of creating a set representation so that it is possible to verify that a string is a member of the set without being able to learn members of the set from the representation. The secure set membership primitive includes a distributed protocol fo...

Keith was the world's leading expert in the study of the cognitive mechanisms underlying the ability to read in children and adults. In the 1970s, he pioneered the use of eye-tracking methodology in psychological research, which enabled the precise measurement and manipulation of read text with millisecond control. Through Keith's work, researchers can accurately predict how long an adult will ...
