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...

Development of a GIS for the Marys River Watershed for fish and wildlife analysis

Creator:: Callahan, Brady
Abstract:: GIS technology has reached a point where it can be utilized by nonprofessionals in a desktop environment. This paper reviews the implementation of a pilot project for developing a localized-natural resource GIS. The resulting GIS was custom designed to answer questions posed by fish and wildlife biologists who need to...

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,...

B-Naphthoflavone induction and its effect on hepatic phospholipid metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:: Harris, Marcia Elaine
Abstract:: The induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes is a complex biochemical process manifested not only by increases in various cytochrome P-450 isozymes and related activities, but also by alterations in endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Little work has been done to examine how cytochrome P-450 inducing agents influence other cellular processes, such as phospholipid...

BaCuChF (Ch = S, Se, Te) p-type transparent conductors

Creator:: Zakutayev, Andriy
Abstract:: BaCuChF (Ch = S, Se, Te) materials are chalcogen-based transparent conductors with wide optical band gaps (2.9 – 3.5 eV) and a high concentration of free holes (10¹⁸ – 10²⁰ cm⁻³) caused by the presence of copper vacancies. Chalcogen vacancies compensate copper vacancies in these materials, setting the Fermi level...

Crossing Boundaries during Stress Responses: Antigen Presentation by Adaptive and Innate MHC Class I Molecules

Creator:: Nagamine, Brandy S.
Abstract:: The immune system is a complex network of cellular processes working in harmony to guard us against pathogenic attack. Of utmost importance is the ability of the immune system to discriminate between “self” and “non-self” and diseased versus healthy. Recognition of antigens complexed to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is...

Dielectric Properties of Perovskite Ceramics Based on BaTiO3 and Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3

Creator:: Sundahl, Christopher S.
Abstract:: The properties of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (BT-BMT) ceramics were fabricated from reagent-grade ceramic powders by solid-state methods and investigated for solubility, relative permittivity, dielectric loss, polarization, and electromechanical strain. The solubility limit was found to be between x = 0.3 and 0.4. Ba-deficient samples were fabricated, corresponding to stable single-phase compositions; these...

Anadromous Salmonid Restoration in the Lower Crooked River : Can Collaboration and Legislation Coexist?

Creator:: McMurtrey, Owen S.
Abstract:: In watersheds across the American Pacific Northwest, changes in the cultural and regulatory landscape have increased pressure to restore and protect populations of anadromous fish. But restoration of anadromous fish populations constitutes a ‘wicked problem’, relentless in character, affecting diverse stakeholder groups, and defying ‘once and for all’ solutions (Weber...

Comparing Sediment Microbial Communities of Arctic Beaver Ponds to Tundra Lakes and Streams

Creator:: Shannon, Kelly
Abstract:: In recent decades the habitat of North American beaver (Castor canadensis) has expanded from boreal forests into pan-Arctic tundra ecosystems. It is unknown how the advance of beavers into Arctic watersheds will impact microbial communities responsible for the mineralization of organic matter (OM), which has implications for carbon cycling.

Investigation of MoS2 with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

Creator:: Dardzinski, Derek P.
Abstract:: Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has potential applications as a low-cost catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Defects on MoS2, such as edge sites and sulfur vacancies, are known to be the major active sites for HER. Controlling the formation of these defects allows for the enhancement in reactivity of MoS2...

Metacognition, Numeracy, and Automation-aided Decision-making

Creator:: Gyles, Shannon P.
Abstract:: Automated decision aids can improve human decision-making but the benefits are often compromised by inefficient use. The current experiment examined whether metacognition—the ability to assess self-performance—and numeracy—the ability to understand and work with numbers—predict the efficiency of automation use in a signal detection task. Two-hundred twenty-one participants classified random dot...

Mechanisms of Vigilance Loss in Sensory and Cognitive Tasks

Creator:: Gyles, Shannon P.
Abstract:: When observers monitor for infrequent signals for extended durations, they generally experience a decline in detections over time. This decline is termed the vigilance decrement. Current theories of vigilance attribute the decrement to three potential mechanisms: conservative shifts in response bias, losses of sensitivity, and an increased rate of attentional...
