  • Aging in place : a contemporary social phenomenon

    Creator:
    Lee, Megan
    Abstract:
    Most aging individuals prefer to remain in a self-determined home environment, and generally aging adults want to remain in the same home or same community. The benefits of remaining in a self-determined private home environment while aging have been established. Because individuals present a diversity of needs, it takes interdisciplinary...

  • Person-environment fit and adaptation : exploring the interaction between person and environment in older age

    Creator:
    Lien, Laura L.
    Abstract:
    The ability to independently age in place requires an appropriate match between a person and the environment, or P-E fit. The person-environment interaction helps describe the adaptation processes employed in older age to achieve P-E fit, but is little understood. Therefore, the objective of this two-part study was to gain...

  • Interactive video communication technology and successful aging in place : applying the selective optimization with compensation model

    Creator:
    Yamamoto, Toshiko
    Abstract:
    This study utilized the theoretical framework of selective optimization with compensation (SOC) (Baltes, 1987; Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to interpret older adults' definitions about successful aging in place. Factors contributing to successful aging in place, including the importance of social interaction and perceptions of the usefulness of interactive video communication...

  • Kinetic analysis of avian sarcoma virus integrase in the presteady-state

    Creator:
    Bao, Kogan K.
    Abstract:
    Integrase catalyzes insertion of a retroviral genome into the host chromosome. Following reverse transcription, integrase binds specifically to the ends of the duplex retroviral DNA, endonucleolytically cleaves two nucleotides from each 3'-end (the processing activity), and inserts these ends into the host DNA (the joining activity) in a concerted manner....

  • Sources of Psychological Support for East Asians Reporting Mental Health Issues

    Creator:
    Wong, Stephen P.
    Abstract:
    Mental illness is a universal phenomenon, but cultural context has a profound influence on how it is perceived, classified, and treated. Most systematic research on public attitudes toward mental illness has been completed in Western societies. The emergence of multicultural psychotherapy in the West has helped professionals recognize the extent...

  • WAVE~Ripples for Change Obesity 2-y Intervention in High School Soccer Players : Program Impact on Diet and Physical Activity, Process Evaluation, Best Practices, and Youth Engagement

    Creator:
    Meng, Yu
    Abstract:
    Childhood obesity prevalence is significantly higher among adolescent 12-19 years old than younger age groups. Youth athletes are overlooked by childhood obesity prevention programs. WAVE~Ripples for Change (WAVE) program is a 2-y obesity prevention intervention with high school (HS) soccer players (14-19y) using a mixed virtual- and physical-world learning environment...

  • Efficient Algorithms for Robust Spatiotemporal Data Analysis

    Creator:
    Moore, Travis W.
    Abstract:
    Many large-scale data analysis applications involve data that can vary over both time and space. Often the primary goal of analyzing spatiotemporal data is identifying trends, movements, and sudden changes with respect to time, location, or both. This can include a variety of applications in economics (housing prices, unemployment, job...

  • Characterizing and Addressing Dataset Shift with Deep Learning

    Creator:
    Olson, Matthew L.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation delves into understanding, characterizing, and addressing dataset shift in deep learning, a pervasive issue for deployed machine learning systems. Integral aspects of the problem are examined: We start with the use of counterfactual explanations in order to characterize the behavior of deep reinforcement learning agents in visual input...

  • Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun
    Abstract:
    Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...

  • Incorporating User Feedback into Machine Learning Systems

    Creator:
    Das, Shubhomoy
    Abstract:
    Although machine learning systems are often effective in real-world applications, there are situations in which they can be even better when provided with some degree of end user feedback. This is especially true when the machine learning system needs to customize itself to the end user's preferences, such as in...
