Two new combinations in Euploca Nutt. (Heliotropiaceae, Boraginales) and a conspectus of the species of the Guiana Shield area

Creator:: Feuillet, Christian
Abstract:: Heliotropium foliatum and Tournefortia humilis are transferred to Euploca Nutt. respectively as Euploca foliata comb. n. and Euploca humilis comb. n. A collection from Guyana has been recently identified as Euploca humistrata, a species previously considered a Brazilian endemic. A collection from French Guiana documents for the first time the...

Semiparametric marginal and mixed models for longitudinal data

Creator:: Tsai, Guei-Feng
Abstract:: This thesis consists of three papers which investigate marginal models, nonparametric approaches, generalized mixed effects models and variance components estimation in longitudinal data analysis. In the first paper, a new marginal approach is introduced for high-dimensional cell-cycle microarray data with no replicates. There are two kinds of correlation for cell-cycle...

A comparison between anthropometric regression equations and hydrostatic weighing for predicting percent body fat of adult males with Down Syndrome

Creator:: Ovalle, Steven E. (Steven Edward)
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of eight anthropometric regression equations with hydrostatic weighing for predicting the percent body fat of adult males with Down Syndrome (DS). Body fat percentages were predicted for 18 adult males with DS. Skinfold, circumference, and bioelectric impedance analysis data were...

Understanding how Vietnamese make career decisions in the United States

Creator:: Do, Vinh The
Abstract:: This research explores the lived experiences and career decision making styles of three Vietnamese refugees in the United states. Since this study involves the lived experience of the participants pertaining to their everyday activities (i.e. living, making decision, and working in the United States), the phenomenological approach (Van Manen, 1990;...

Determining the validity and reliability of the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester as a measure of isometric strength in women with arthritis

Creator:: Sierra, Nelson
Abstract:: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the validity and reliability of the Nicholas Manual Muscle Tester (NMMT), a portable dynamometer, as a measure of the isometric strength in women with arthritis. Female subjects (N=13; 66 ± 13.89 yrs.) with arthritis were tested for isometric muscle strength on the...

Effect of peer group presence on the gross motor performance of young children

Creator:: Bates, Margaret K.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to determine if passive peer group presence had a significant effect on the performance of students on the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD). Fifty-eight volunteer nonhandicapped children aged five, eight, and ten years were subjects for the study. There were 18 subjects aged...

The relative effectiveness of three forms of visual knowledge of results on maximal strength output in an isokinetic extension/flexion of the knee

Creator:: Hobbel, Susan Laurie
Abstract:: This experiment was conducted to study the effects of three different forms of visual knowledge of results (KR) on maximal strength output in isokinetic exercise. The task used was an isokinetic extension of the knee, followed by a corresponding flexion. Four, six-subject experimental groups completed four testing sessions conducted over...

An application of item response theory to the test of gross motor development

Creator:: Cole, Emily Lynne
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to (a) provide insight into the use of item response theory (IRT) with psychomotor skills, (b) assess the psychometric properties of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD) using IRT, and (c) provide a basis for future studies of the TGMD using IRT. The...
