title: Effect of AquaStretch on Range of Motion at Knee Joint in Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients
Creators: name: Kochar, Raja Devinder
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: The success of the Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) depends upon its functional outcomes of increase in reduction in pain, and gait ambulation and performing functional activities of daily living. Compromised range of motion, pain and weakness can reduce their ability to perform activities of daily living. Aquatic Physical Therapy may offer an alternative intervention to traditional Physical Therapy Rehabilitation and many studies have shown improvements in range of motion, swelling, pain reduction, stiffness and quality of life after TKA. AquaStretch, a relatively new form of aquatic therapy, claims to restore the functional mobility which is lost restrictions caused due to inflammatory processes. The studies done in the past compared the effects of aquatic therapy to those of land based therapy and found the two techniques to be equally effective. Currently, there is not any literature available which looks into the benefits of combining the two therapies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an integrated treatment approach (Aqua Stretch and conventional therapy) compared to land therapy alone in improving range of motion after TKA.
Range of motion (ROM) data from the study group (physiotherapy and Aqua Stretch) and control group (physiotherapy only) were collected and studied retrospectively. The ROM was compared using a 2 (groups) × 2 (pre, post) mixed model ANOVA method of statistical analysis (α=0.05).
Following the respective rehabilitation protocols, there was a significant improvement in ROM in both the groups (p>0.05). However, the improvement in ROM in study group was not different than that of control group (p>0.05).
In summary, the integrated techniques of aquatic and land based therapy was not more effective than the land based therapy in increasing the ROM at knee joint in knee replacement patients. However, other functional outcomes of knee replacement like pain, edema, strength and overall knee function are the avenues for future exploration of this technique.

Creators: name: Zhu, Yan
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: After the Great Recession of 2008, both the hospitality and the timeshare industries were influenced dramatically. Consumers became more sensitive to the price of services rendered, and to service quality when choosing hotels and investing in timeshares. Thus, service quality became the vital factor contributing to success in the highly competitive hospitality industry. This paper will compare service qualities and gaps between the hospitality industry and the timeshare industry. The purpose of this study is to find the key service gaps in the both industries and service quality dimensions.
  Objective of Study:  This paper will identify each aspect of service that affects overall service quality in both industries. It will also assess the relevant similarities and differences between the two industries, provide an overview predicting the expectations and needs of guests, and will suggest some measures by which managers can evaluate service qualities.

description: Die vorliegende Studie geht der Frage nach, welche Auswirkungen die in Ludwigshafen ansässige Chemiebranche auf die Einstellung der Einwohner zu Grüner Gentechnik hat. Dafür wurden mittels Papierfragebögen Umfragen in Ludwigshafen durchgeführt, welche anschließend mit Regressionsanalysen ausgewertet wurden. Die Untersuchung wird von der Hypothese geleitet, dass Beschäftigte in der Chemiebranche weniger risikoavers sind und daher der Anwendung Grüner Gentechnik eher zustimmen – zumal die BASF selbst Pflanzenschutzmittel bzw. Vorprodukte hierfür herstellt. Die Auswertung zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Befragten den Verzehr gentechnisch veränderter Lebensmittel ablehnt und ein Verbot des Anbaus gentechnisch veränderter Pflanzen befürwortet. Damit bestätigen die Ergebnisse die Befunde des aktuellen Forschungsdiskurses und anderer Studien. Empirisch kann die Hypothese jedoch nicht bestätigt werden.

description: Some planetary systems harbour debris disks containing planetesimals such as asteroids and comets. Collisions between such bodies produce small dust particles, the spectral features of which reveal their composition and, hence, that of their parent bodies. A measurement of the composition of olivine crystals has been done for the protoplanetary disk HD100546 and for olivine crystals in the warm inner parts of planetary systems. The latter compares well with the iron-rich olivine in asteroids (x<0.29). In the cold outskirts of the Beta Pictoris system, an analogue to the young Solar System, olivine crystals were detected but their composition remained undetermined, leaving unknown how the composition of the bulk of Solar System cometary olivine grains compares with that of extrasolar comets. Here we report the detection of the 69-micrometre-wavelength band of olivine crystals in the spectrum of Beta Pictoris. Because the disk is optically thin, we can associate the crystals with an extrasolar proto-Kuiper belt a distance of 15-45 astronomical units from the star (one astronomical unit is the Sun-Earth distance), determine their magnesium-rich composition (x=0.01+/-0.001) and show that they make up 3.6+/-1.0 per cent of the total dust mass. These values are strikingly similar to those for the dust emitted by the most primitive comets in the Solar System, even though Beta Pictoris is more massive and more luminous and has a different planetary system architecture.

Gatekeeping in a TV news editorial conference: Shift of force, other media, personal experience and pack mentality
Creators: name: Plaskon, Kyril Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: This study uses Gatekeeping Theory and Conversational Analysis to describe how four factors influence news gatekeepers in a small group at one TV station. The four factors include shifting forces, other media, personal experience and pack mentality. They were identified through conversational analysis of pilot data and the research questions are supported in the literature as common influences in news gatekeeping. This study describes how those four elements occur during group conversation.
Analysis of the recorded data collected in five editorial conferences describes how the four factors are expressed by the gatekeepers as they consider events that may become news. The study finds that verbal expression of personal experience carries little weight in influencing discussion. Outside media, on the other hand, is heavily influential. Shifts of force occur easily and regularly as members of the group discard their own support for a perspective of an event and instead support another perspective that has achieved the support of more group members. Finally, group members engage in pack mentality to close the gate.

The Initial Development of Child-Focused Interventions in the Treatment of Maternal Substance Abuse and Child Neglect
Creators: name: Tracy, Kendra
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: This single case study focuses on the development and evaluation of child focused interventions for the treatment of child neglect and concurrent maternal substance abuse that were incorporated into Family Behavior Therapy (FBT). The participants were a mother referred by the Department of Family Services and her child. The child participated in three child focused interventions that were developed to decrease child behavior problems, increase support and communication, and prevent future neglect by strengthening the mother & child relationship. Although not a focus in this study, the mother participated in traditional FBT adult focused intervention components. The chief aim of the present study was to examine the feasibility of incorporating these child focused interventions into FBT, while the second aim was to evaluate the effect of these interventions on measures of parenting. Treatment fidelity, feasibility, and consumer satisfaction were assessed and found to be adequate for two of the proposed interventions. Implications and limitations of the present study are discussed.

description: We show that, when we study the coexistence of general relativity with thermodynamics, some physical properties that are usually thought of as holographic and lying in the domain of quantum gravity can actually be accessed even at the classical level. In particular, we demonstrate that the thermodynamics of gravitating systems in equilibrium is fully specified by variables defined on the system's boundary, namely, the boundary's geometry and extrinsic curvature. Hence, information is non-trivially incorporated in boundary variables because of the structure (the symmetries) of the classical gravity theory, without any input from quantum theory (such as black hole entropy).

The politics of female plainness in British women’s writing, 1830-1867
Creators: name: Albassam, Mona
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis explores the representation of female plainness as a choice and as a defining feature of identity in mid-nineteenth-century British women’s fiction. I consider how female plainness, contrary to our modern interpretation of it as self-effacing or invisible, became self-defining and empowering. Based on a selection of novels written between the 1830s and 1860s by Charlotte Brontë and other contemporary, but often underexplored, authors such as Margaret Oliphant, Dinah Mulock Craik, SarahStickney Ellis, and Eliza Lynn Linton, I examine the ways in which female plainness offered an alternative set of values and opportunities of self-expression within a culture dominated by its own social and cultural notions of female beauty, femininity, and what constitutes acceptable behaviour. I argue that plainness evolves in mid-nineteenth century women’s writing as a subversive category that emphasises issues of resistance, empowerment, and female agency. While there already exists a substantial amount ofresearch focused on the representation of the plain heroine in the canonical works of Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, this thesis demonstrates the evolving interest in plainness at mid-century in ways not recognised before. The female authors whose works I engage with in this thesis should be recognised as active participants in the debates that shaped the contemporary discourse of plainness and its subversiveness in women’s writing. This thesis offers an original stance on plainness in women’s writing, acknowledging both its dynamic and creative features as well as the challenges it created.
Dynamic Modelling of Single Phase Grid Connected Photovoltaic System
Creators: name: Ari, Gopi Krishna
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power systems have been sustaining an exponential growth rate during the past decade. This steep growth is driven by a growing concern about climate change, the adoption of an aggressive regional renewable portfolio standard, rebates and tax incentives, and reduction in PV system cost. One of the main technical barriers that can ultimately limit further PV penetration is the fast variations in the PV system's output power induced by cloud transients. Such events are known to cause voltage fluctuations which may lead to excessive operations of voltage regulation equipment and light flickering.
Solar irradiance variability, which can be easily recorded using a pyranometer and a data logger, is used in numerous studies to assess the AC power injected into the electrical network by PV systems. But in reality, the two variables are not perfectly proportional with one another, nor synchronized in time due to delays within the inverter circuit elements and controls.
As a consequence, computer models that accurately simulate the dynamic behavior of PV systems under moving clouds would thus be of high value. In this thesis, a dynamic MATLAB/Simulink model of a single phase single stage grid-connected PV system that can be used to predict the deviations in AC power output under variable solar irradiance is presented. The commonly used perturb-and-observe technique for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is used in the model. It is found that the deviation between solar radiation and output power variability that may be caused by the MPPT and buffer capacitor is minimal and can often be neglected. As a consequence, variations in solar irradiance can be considered as a good indication of power fluctuations.

description: Dependence of structural self-organization of granular materials on preparation and grain parameters is key to predictive modelling. We study 60 different mechanically equilibrated polydisperse disc packs, generated numerically by two protocols. We show that, for same-variance disc size distributions (DSDs): 1. the mean coordination number of rattler-free packs vs. the packing fraction is a function independent of initial conditions, friction and the DSD: 2. all quadron volume and cell order distributions collapse to universal forms, also independent of the above. We conclude that, contrary to common wisdom, equilibrated granular structures are determined mainly by the packing protocol and higher moments of the DSD.

description: Intermediate energy data of proton-induced fission on 241Am, 238U and 237Np targets were analysed and investigated using the computational simulation code CRISP. Inelastic interactions of protons on heavy nuclei and both symmetric and asymmetric fission are regarded. The fission probabilities are obtained from the CRISP code calculations by means of the Bohr-Wheeler model. The fission cross sections, the fissility and the number of nucleons evaporated by the nuclei, before and after fission, are calculated and compared with experimental data. Some of the model predictions agree completely with the data. We conclude that our two step model of the CRISP code provides a good description of intermediate energy proton-induced fission.

description: Bioreduction of chromium (VI) to chromium (III) is considered a viable technology in remediating chromium (VI) contaminated groundwater. Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 (MR-1) is considered effective in reducing chromium (VI) to chromium (III). Reduction of chromium (VI) by MR-1 is defined by a nonlinear, transient, and zero-order reaction kinetic. Currently available transport models are not designed to simulate such reaction kinetics. The objective of this paper is to present a comparative study of three finite element models (FEMs) - the Galerkin FEM (GFEM), the Crank-Nicolson GFEM (CNGFEM), and the Petrov-Galerkin FEM (PGFEM), to predict transport and bioreduction of chromium (VI) in groundwater by employing the transient nonlinear and zero-order kinetic model. Model predictions by the three models were virtually identical and were in good agreement with the experimental results.

description: We examined factors associated with discussing HIV and condom use with a sexual partner. Two cross-sectional surveys were conducted in 2004 prior to the implementation of an HIV awareness campaign in a South African community and in 2008 after a three-year education program. Overall, the proportion of individuals who had discussed HIV with a sexual partner increased from 76% in 2004 to 89% in 2008 (p < .001). Among respondents who had sex six months before completing the surveys, condom use significantly increased from 64% in 2004 to 79% in 2008 (p < .05). Respondents who discussed HIV with a sexual partner were more likely to use condoms than respondents who had not discussed HIV with a sexual partner (OR=2.08, 95% CI=1.16, 3.72). These findings indicate the importance of interventions aimed at promoting HIV awareness and discussion of HIV in communities with individuals at risk of acquiring HIV.

description: We present an update of the visible and near-infrared colour database of Minor Bodies in the Outer Solar System (MBOSSes), which now includes over 2000 measurement epochs of 555 objects, extracted from over 100 articles. The list is fairly complete as of December 2011. The database is now large enough to enable any dataset with a large dispersion to be safely identified and rejected from the analysis. The selection method used is quite insensitive to individual outliers. Most of the rejected datasets were observed during the early days of MBOSS photometry. The spectral gradient over the visible range is derived from the colours, as well as the R absolute magnitude M(1, 1). The average colours, absolute magnitude, and spectral gradient are listed for each object, as well as the physico-dynamical classes using a classification adapted from Gladman and collaborators. Colour-colour diagrams, histograms, and various other plots are presented to illustrate and investigate class characteristics and trends with other parameters, whose significances are evaluated using standard statistical tests. The colour tables and all plots are also available on the MBOSS colour web page http://www.eso.org/~ohainaut/MBOSS which will be updated when new measurements are published.

title: Italian piazze: models for public outdoor space in sustainable communities
Creators: name: Pederson, Mark Kevan
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2013

description:
Fundamental to the design of sustainable neighborhood spatial units, is an understanding of the relationship between sustainability, public outdoor space, and the production of social capital. Thoughtful and purposefully designed public outdoor space can act as a venue for the production of social capital essential for resilient and sustainable communities. The morphology of a public outdoor space plays a critical role in its success as effective infrastructure for the development of community social capital. This research is concerned with urban public outdoor space and the identification and analysis of the spatial and morphological features which maximize the social utility of that space. These design variables are examined through the physical analysis of a regional group of exemplary Italian piazze. In this study, the U. S. Green Building Council's L.E.E.D. for Neighborhood Development Rating System is critically examined and suggestions are made for modifications to its treatment of public outdoor spaces. Preliminarily, the underlying structure of the LEED ND, in regard to the criteria's typology of public outdoor space, is examined and suggestions made for its strengthening. With that typology in place, a systematically selected sample of Italian piazze is used as prototypical of those physical characteristics seen as fundamental to effective public outdoor space. This research focuses on the criticality of planar dimension as a basis for operative pubic outdoor space design. Also important to a comprehensive understanding of spatial design is the inclusion of other morphological features that contribute to effective public outdoor space. These additional attributes, corner morphology, sectional proportion and planar area, are also examined and evaluated. Specific recommendations are made for improvements in the LEED ND criteria based on the developed typology and the analysis of the shared physical features of the selected piazze. Particular attention is given to those elements in the morphology of effective public outdoor space directly related to the human perceptual experience.

Methodological quality of quantitative nursing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender research from 2000 to 2010
Creators: name: Johnson, Michael
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people constitute one of the largest underserved populations in any nursing setting. Despite the large LGBT populations, very little nursing research has been conducted on these populations. Nurse researchers have recommended that nursing researchers end the silence on LGBT research. To accomplish this, the methodological rigor of LGBT nursing research must be evaluated and improved upon. Currently, no literature examines the methodological quality of quantitative nursing LGBT research. Using a cross-sectional design, it was the purpose of this study to evaluate the methodological quality of quantitative nursing LGBT research from 2000 to 2010 using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI). The descriptive analyses were completed for the MERSQI scores, and MERSQI scores were also compared by funding category and country of origin. Only 188 research studies were identified and 40 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in nursing literature from 2000-2010. The MERSQI scores had a mean of 9.4 + 1.5 and a range of 7.0 - 14.4. There was no significant difference in the MERSQI scores between studies with no funding, external funding, or internal funding. There was no significant difference in the MERSQI scores for those studies conducted inside or outside the U.S. The findings from this study can be utilized to improve the quality of future LGBT nursing research.

description: Disorder has long been a difficult subject in condensed matter systems and the The replica method is a well-known tool in this field. Implementing the replica method the AdS/CFT correspondence has been proposed and discussed in literatures. We point out, for any CFT that has a holographic dual and to the leading order of the large-N expansion, the corrections due to the presence of random disorder to any connected correlation functions vanish identically, provided that the disorder strength is normalized as discussed in literatures and that the symmetry among replicas is unbroken. Same must hold true to any observables that are determined by the connected correlation functions through a linear relation. This behavior resembles strongly that of a free theory where disorder is coupled to the fundamental field. We demonstrate this by both the means of holographic principle and field theory analysis in a toy model. We also propose ways of evaluating the non-zero sub-leading effects perturbatively in terms of the disorder strength and discuss a novel possibility of defining a new holographic dual if we adopt a different normalization for the disorder strength.

description: Stormwater management has recently begun a paradigm shift away from traditional top-down approaches in response to climatic changes, urbanization, and regulatory pressures. This paradigm shift is characterized by two key developments: the implementation of additional decentralized green infrastructure, and the practice of individuals managing stormwater from their privately-owned property. This transition involves redefining who is responsible for managing stormwater and the infrastructure used within stormwater management. Using insights from two urban watersheds, Watershed 263, Baltimore, MD and Watts Branch, Prince George’s County, MD and Washington, DC, where this shift is underway, we assess changes in the hydrosocial relationships underpinning this paradigm shift including the emergence of stormwater hydrocitizenship. We investigate stormwater hydrocitizenship as the role and responsibilities of individuals within stormwater management. We focus on the role of government at several levels, drawing insights from the concept of biopower. Our findings suggest that this paradigm shift and the emergence of a stormwater hydrocitizenship remains embedded in top-down governance, which in turn creates significant tension among different stakeholders. Arising from this critical analysis, we seek to promote a reimagining of how, where, and who manages stormwater towards more sustainable, resilient, and equitable outcomes.

description: Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is part of a suite of sustainability initiatives that are vital to tackling climate change. However, siloed governance structures that traditionally implement stormwater infrastructure are not well-suited to address the cross-cutting goals of such initiatives (i.e. incorporating social equity along with technological aspects). Equity planning centers social equity in policy development and can help ameliorate this siloing. Here, we apply equity planning concepts to examine GSI incentive programs developed in the United States to address current funding gaps. We explore GSI incentive programs included in federally-mandated Stormwater Management Plans (SWMPs). Programs found through a scan of readily available SWMPs ranged from $20 rebates to $500,000 grants, providing a range of opportunities. However, closer analysis of application materials suggests potential institutionalization of inequality through restricted access. Barriers to accessing these programs can limit participation by marginalized or under-resourced communities and instead redirect scarce resources to communities who already have strong capacity. Thus, we argue that centering equity in the development of sustainability incentives and conducting meaningful equity analysis should be applied to GSI programs to reform practice and avoid institutionalizing inequity.
Smooth approximation of stochastic differential equations

description: Consider an It\^{o} process \(X\) satisfying the stochastic differential equation \(dX=a(X)\,dt+b(X)\,dW\) where \(a,b\) are smooth and \(W\) is a multidimensional Brownian motion. Suppose that \(W_n\) has smooth sample paths and that \(W_n\) converges weakly to \(W\). A central question in stochastic analysis is to understand the limiting behavior of solutions \(X_n\) to the ordinary differential equation \(dX_n=a(X_n)\,dt+b(X_n)\,dW_n\). The classical Wong--Zakai theorem gives sufficient conditions under which \(X_n\) converges weakly to \(X\) provided that the stochastic integral \(\int b(X)\,dW\) is given the Stratonovich interpretation. The sufficient conditions are automatic in one dimension, but in higher dimensions the correct interpretation of \(\int b(X)\,dW\) depends sensitively on how the smooth approximation \(W_n\) is chosen. In applications, a natural class of smooth approximations arise by setting \(W_n(t)=n^{-1/2}\int_0^{nt}v\circ\phi_s\,ds\) where \(\phi_t\) is a flow (generated, e.g., by an ordinary differential equation) and \(v\) is a mean zero observable. Under mild conditions on \(\phi_t\), we give a definitive answer to the interpretation question for the stochastic integral \(\int b(X)\,dW\). Our theory applies to Anosov or Axiom A flows \(\phi_t\), as well as to a large class of nonuniformly hyperbolic flows (including the one defined by the well-known Lorenz equations) and our main results do not require any mixing assumptions on \(\phi_t\). The methods used in this paper are a combination of rough path theory and smooth ergodic theory.
Dynamically Disordered Quantum Walk as a Maximal Entanglement Generator

description: We show that the entanglement between the internal (spin) and external (position) degrees of freedom of a qubit in a random (dynamically disordered) one-dimensional discrete time quantum random walk (QRW) achieves its maximal possible value asymptotically in the number of steps, outperforming the entanglement attained by using ordered QRW. The disorder is modeled by introducing an extra random aspect to QRW, a classical coin that randomly dictates which quantum coin drives the system's time evolution. We also show that maximal entanglement is achieved independently of the initial state of the walker, study the number of steps the system must move to be within a small fixed neighborhood of its asymptotic limit, and propose two experiments where these ideas can be tested.

title: Nutritional role of microalgae in the diet of first stage brachyuran crab larvae
Creators: name: Casper, Nicole Janette
Publisher: name: Western Washington University

description:
The survival and distribution of benthic invertebrate larvae have important implications for the population dynamics of the species and, due to predator-prey interactions, can have important consequences to the communities in which they live. Nutrition and food availability are among the primary determinants of larval success. The feeding strategy of brachyuran larval crabs is a complex combination of omnivory and selection. Although ingestion of microalgae by larvae has been observed, their role in satisfying larval nutritional needs is unclear. This study examined the role ingesting phytoplankton plays in the nutrition of larval crabs by simulating conditions in which algal prey might increase survival or accelerate development. The alga, Isochrysis galbana, and zooplankters Artemia sp. nauplii and rotifer Brachionis plicatilis, were used as prey in experiments with larvae of three brachyuran crab species representing different families and hatching seasons: Lophopanopeus bellus, Metacarcinus (Cancer) magister, and Hemigrapsus nudus. Experimental conditions included exposure of larvae to algae alone immediately upon hatching, interspersed periods of algal and zooplankton prey and mixed algae-zooplankton prey. In post-hatching feeding experiments with L. bellus and M. magister, survival decreased and development was delayed as the initial period of starvation or algal feeding prior to zooplankton feeding was extended, with no differences between the unfed and algal-fed diets. Mean Point-of-No-Return (PNR) values for unfed and algal-fed treatments were not significantly different from one another and post-hoc contrasts showed no difference between the two experimental treatments, except in a few instances where stage duration of L. bellus larvae fed algae for one day was shortened by just under a half-day, and for M. magister larvae where larvae fed algae for three days had 16.7% survival while all corresponding unfed larvae died. In patchy prey experiments L. bellus survival and H. nudus survival and development rate were unaffected by exposure to algae; however, presence of algae accelerated L. bellus larval development by 5% (0.77 days). Results from mixed prey diet experiments showed no difference in L. bellus survival and development rate when algae supplemented zooplankton. Results indicate that, overall, I. galbana does not significantly contribute to larval survival or development rate. Benefits of an opportunistic feeding strategy in which widespread, seemingly inefficient feeding on algae occurs might be contingent upon particular predator-prey species interactions (i.e. a more nutrient-laden alga), or may only pay off in particular conditions (i.e. a sparse prey field).
