Factors affecting contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in northern Jordan : a framework for health policy action

Creator:: Hijazi, Heba Hesham
Abstract:: Jordan has a higher fertility rate (3.8) than the averages of countries similar in income to Jordan (2.2) and compared to the Middle East and North Africa region as a whole (2.8) (WHO, WB, UNICEF, & DHS, 2011). The findings of the 2009 Jordanian Population and Family Health Survey demonstrated...

Effectiveness of applying the transtheoretical model to improve physical activity behavior of university students

Creator:: Boonchuaykuakul, Jinda
Abstract:: This study was divided into three stages. The first phase of the study aimed to examine factors influencing the students' participation in physical activity. Eight female and male university students participated in the focus group. It was found that the participants' perceived benefits of physical activity were physical, psychological and...

Exploration of statistical methods for synthesizing the effects of variable-retention harvesting on multiple taxa

Creator:: Lam, Tzeng Yih
Abstract:: Variable-retention harvesting was proposed to reduce loss of biodiversity and ecosystem processes associated with late-seral Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests in the Pacific Northwest. The Demonstration of Ecosystem Management Options experiment was established to test this hypothesis. Analysis presents various challenges to drawing statistical inferences about treatment effects. This dissertation explored...

Diffusion Accelerated Implicit Monte Carlo via Nonlinear Elimination for Thermal Radiative Transfer

Creator:: Lam, Adam Q.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we derive and implement a new transport-diffusion hybrid algorithm for solving thermal radiative transfer (TRT) problems. Using the method of nonlinear elimination (NLEM), the TRT system of equations can be written in terms of a transport equation with the absence of scattering and a diffusion equation. The...

Identification of Cervical Cancer Key Regulators using Network Biology Approach

Creator:: Vyshenska, Dariia
Abstract:: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide with human papillomavirus (HPV) being the main cause of the disease. Currently available treatment methods are limited and emphasize the need for discovery of new therapies that improve patient outcome. Chromosomal amplifications have been identified as a source of...

Investigation of inheritance of glyphosate resistance and the mechanisms of glufosinate resistance in Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. spp. multiflorum (Lam.) Husnot) populations

Creator:: Avila Garcia, Wilson Vidal
Abstract:: Italian ryegrass populations have been identified with evolved resistance to glyphosate in orchards with a history of glyphosate use. Two of these populations were selected to investigate the inheritance of glyphosate resistance. The mechanisms involved in the herbicide resistance were an altered target site for the population SF and reduced...

Factors influencing decision-making of acute care hospitals on adopting complementary and alternative medicine

Creator:: Tian, Xiaowei, 1977-
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to identify and examine critical factors that either promote or hinder acute care hospitals decision-making on adopting complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). All acute care hospitals in the states of Oregon and Washington were included in the study. Individual interviews were conducted at the...

An Anthology of Next-Generation WSNs and Transformative IoT Use-Cases

Creator:: Williams, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm brought an ever-increasing dependence on low-power devices to collect sensor data and transmit that information to the cloud, placing greater demand on connectivity and lifespan. In response, rapid worldwide innovation demonstrates the trade-oﬀs in processing, communication, and energy consumption with diverse approaches to low-power...

Characterization and detection of potential adulterants in apple juice by pattern recognition methods

Creator:: Pilando, Leticia S.
Abstract:: Fruit juice concentrates- hard pear, soft pear, fig, prune, raisin, white grape, and pineapple, and sweeteners-invert beet, invert cane, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) were characterized by sugar profiles, nonvolatile acid profiles, UV spectral profiles, and mineral content. These fruit juices and sweeteners were also used to adulterate commercial...

An examination of terminal and instrumental values of selected Oregon State University students

Creator:: Norelius, Caroline F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was twofold; first, to identify the values held by Oregon State University students, and second, to determine if the values of OSU students are different from samples previously surveyed. A further purpose of the study was to develop baseline data on a cross-section of the...
