The Association Between Patient Activation and Cost, Utilization, and Outcomes Among Patients Undergoing Elective, Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

Creator:: Owen, Erin Callahan
Abstract:: Background. Total knee arthroplasty, or replacement, is a common, generally successful, and expensive procedure. Tools to predict outcomes following orthopedic procedures are abundant, yet no commonly used assessment accounts for an individual’s propensity to engage in adaptive health behavior. The 13-item Patient Activation Measure (PAM) questionnaire is a tool that...

Fourier Analysis and Equidistribution on the p-adic Integers

Creator:: Somasunderam, Naveen
Abstract:: In this dissertation, we use Fourier-analytic methods to study questions of equidistribution on the compact abelian group Zp of p-adic integers. In particu- lar, we prove a LeVeque-type Fourier analytic upper bound on the discrepancy of sequences. We establish p-adic analogues of the classical Dirichlet and Fejér kernels on R/Z,...
