Cardiovascular disease risk in adults with mental retardation and Down syndrome

Creator:: Draheim, Christopher Charles
Abstract:: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have less atherosclerosis than others with and without mental retardation (MR). Why individuals with DS do not develop atherosclerosis similarly to others is not known. The insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), a common neuroendocrine disorder underlying cardiovascular disease, has not been investigated in adults with DS...

Enabling safety-informed design decision making through simulation, reasoning and analysis

Creator:: Jensen, David Charles
Abstract:: While many organizations claim to "put safety first," safety is rarely considered early in the design process when system-level architectural decisions are made. Instead, system design follows an abstraction-to-detail process to first meet functional and then performance requirements. Following this process, safety assurance occurs in the later stages of design...

Structured gradient boosting

Creator:: Parker, Charles (Charles Lincoln)
Abstract:: The goal of many machine learning problems can be formalized as the creation of a function that can properly classify an input vector, given a set of examples of that function. While this formalism has produced a number of success stories, there are notable situations in which it fails. One...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

Understanding Welfare As We Know It: A Comprehensive and Updated Mixed-Methods Analysis on the Relationship between Public Opinion and Welfare Policies

Creator:: Molina, Rafael Felipe S.
Abstract:: After the 1996 national welfare reform known as the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) was enacted with more stringent eligibility and work requirements for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program, a plethora of analyses have followed assessing the...

Helping end-user programmers find and fix performance problems in visual code

Creator:: Chambers, Chris
Abstract:: End-user programmers often struggle to create programs that run quickly and effectively, which can be a major deterrent in completing their tasks as desired. Current research has primarily focused on catching user mistakes, such as errors or misused formulas. However, end users deal with issues other than just correctness. In...

Thresholds of uncertainty : radiation and responsibility in the fallout controversy

Creator:: Jolly, J. Christopher
Abstract:: The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation...

Eliciting informal specifications from scientific modelers for evaluation and debugging

Creator:: Bogart, Christopher
Abstract:: Professional software engineers have an arsenal of techniques such as unit testing and assertions to check their specifications, but these techniques require tools, motivation, experience and training that programmers without professional software engineering training may not have. As a result, professionals in other fields, such as scientific modelers, face greater...

Biochemical effects of tumorigenic enhancers

Creator:: Christopher, John Paul
Abstract:: 2 -acetylaminofluorene -induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rats proceeds in stages of initiation and promotion, similar to experimental systems, in mouse skin. In this study promoters of liver tumorigenesis, phenobarbital, DDT and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), were compared to non-promoters, amobarbital, diphenylhydantoin (DPH) and benz(a)anthracene (BA), for their ability to cause liver growth...
