Broby, Nicolette; Lassetter, Jane H; Williams, Mary; Winters, Blaine A. 1259.300 Section 1259.300 Aeronautics and Space NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION NATIONAL SPACE GRANT COLLEGE AND FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM National Needs Grants 1259.300 Description. 67.7% of study participants had at least one plaque in the carotid or femoral arteries. The nurses with older in age and more post-registration experience and/or working experience in the private hospital indicated a higher level of job satisfaction, particularly with Pay and . Unlike past spacecraft power systems, the SSF EPS will grow and be maintained on orbit and must be flexible to meet challenging user power needs. A correlation is defined as a process of measuring two variables - understanding and assessing the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable. Data collection included questionnaires of personal characteristics, learning style preferences, determined by the Dunn and Dunn Productivity Environmental Preference Survey, and videotaped complex nursing simulation scenarios. These correlations are crucial for the understanding and characterization of the internal quantum structure of soliton pulses and contribute significantly to soliton squeezing by spectral filtering. This paper will give an overview of some of the systems that have been built as well as mention some promising early and current designs that have not been built. In this paper we have investigated the way to describe functionality of the large-scale SFQ digital circuits by a behavior-level HDL description. Analysis of Magnitude Correlations in a Self-Similar model of Seismicity. This is a theory-based design that researchers use to gather, analyze, and present their collected data. From this review can be concluded that quality of reporting on descriptive studies in implant dentistry is low; there is some improvement from 1990 to 2010, but it does not exceed 70% coverage of the possible to address items. This descriptive study used percentages to present trends in published studies in four scientific nursing journals for twenty-five years. Increasing the publication rate of systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials would provide more high-quality evidence to guide evidence-based physical therapy practice. Results showed that 10% of the patients perceived noise levels in the OR as very high and experienced the noise as annoying, disruptive, and stressful. It can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why questions. Variables consistently associated with TV/video viewing were ethnicity (non-white +), parent income (-), parent education (-), body weight (+), between meal snacking (+), number of parents in the house (-), parents TV viewing habits (+), weekend (+) and having a TV in the bedroom (+). Developing a Methodology for Designing Systems of Instruction. We show that real-world networks exhibit indeed nontrivial multiplex correlations. Age-related differences in communication and audience design. We provide a tight constraint inequality imposed by this principle and prove that this principle singles out quantum correlations in scenarios represented by any graph. Although hardware description languages (HDL) are becoming more and more necessary to automated design systems, their application is complicated due to the difficulty in translating the HDL description into an implementable format, nonfamiliarity of hardware designers with high-level language programming, nonuniform design methodologies and the time and costs involved in transfering HDL design software. The correlation degree was calculated between each evaluation scheme and ideal scheme by using multilevel gray relational analysis model and then the optimal scheme was determined. It may be difficult to determine whether improvement is due to the treatment or due to the preexisting baseline trend. Management Approaches to Stomal and Peristomal Complications: A Narrative Descriptive Study. A descriptive study of bottle-feeding opportunities in preterm infants. Adsorbed transition metal atoms can have partially filled d or f shells due to strong on-site Coulomb interaction. Anthropometric data are assumed to have a Gaussian (Normal) distribution, but if non-Gaussian, accommodation estimates are affected. Hence, designs have been suggested that allow a re-assessment of the sample size in an ongoing trial. Local climatological conditions that are significant with respect to the impact of facility operations on the environment are described using on-site ormore near-site meteorological data. Jones, Kenneth M.; Graff, Thomas J.; Carreno, Victor; Chartrand, Ryan C.; Kibler, Jennifer L. Pairwise Trajectory Management (PTM) is an Interval Management (IM) concept that utilizes airborne and ground-based capabilities to enable the implementation of airborne pairwise spacing capabilities in oceanic regions. For these properties, our method stands as a complementary analysis to the customary protein decomposition in terms of quasi-rigid, structure-based domains. 1993-01-01. However, this kind of techniques have not achieved widespread use due to problems such as double counting of correlation and the symmetry dilemma--the fact that wavefunction methods respect the symmetries of Hamiltonian, while modern functionals are designed to work with broken symmetry densities. A correlational research design investigates relationships between variables without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. Descriptive research is a study of status and is widely used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and the behavioral sciences. Qualitative is usually more subjective, although like quantitative research, it also uses a systematic approach. Small hole (electron) doping of the superlattice leads to a two-dimensional single-band situation with holes (electrons) residing on the Ni d(x2-y2) (Ti d(xy)) orbital and coupled to antiferromagnetically correlated spins in the NiO2 layer. In correlational research, two variables such as the height and weight of individuals are studied to establish their relationship. Whether the obtained coefficient is really different from zero - or- the probability that the correlation represents a true relationship or a chance occurrence. A behavioral-level HDL description of SFQ logic circuits for quantitative performance analysis of large-scale SFQ digital systems. The material contained in the four subsequent sections of the package contains system descriptions, design data, and specifications for the recommended 2-view system.

Bailey, Joanna J; Sabbagh, Melanie; Loiselle, Carmen G; Boileau, Johanne; McVey, Lynne, Informational support to family members of ICU patients has significant potential for reducing their psychological distress, enabling them to better cope and support the patient. Wavefront aberration at 0.707 field of view (FOV) is only 0.1wavelength. The adsorption minimum is shifted towards larger distances by applying DFT+AIM, or the much cheaper DFT +U method, compared to the corresponding spin-polarized DFT results, by a magnitude comparable to variations between different approximate exchange-correlation functionals (0.08 to 0.12 ). Descriptive data were computed from the DPMM foot posture measures. An internet-based survey. Nurses completed case report forms about themselves, comfort and time in managing chest tubes, chest tube placement and management factors. Hallin, Karin; Haggstrom, Marie; Backstrom, Britt; Kristiansen, Lisbeth Porskrog. This section reviews three types of descriptive research: case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation (Figure 3.3). The proposed multiplications perform carry-free generation of the multiplication partial products of two words in constant time. . (a) An applicant for approval of a major change in type design must (1) Provide substantiating data and necessary descriptive data for inclusion in the type design; (2) Show that the changed product the necessary descriptive data for inclusion in the type design the other configurations of the same must submit substantiating data and necessary descriptive data for inclusion in the type design. It is shown that these long range correlation effects are caused by the self-interaction error (SIE) of standard X functionals. The findings show that running functions are very useful in the analysis of uterine contractions. Blinded versus unblinded estimation of a correlation coefficient to inform interim design adaptations, Stallard, Nigel; Parsons, Nicholas; Todd, Susan; Friede, Tim, Regulatory authorities require that the sample size of a confirmatory trial is calculated prior to the start of the trial. Image matching experiments on the well-known patch data set and Oxford data set demonstrate that RFD significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art binary descriptors, and is comparable with the best float-valued descriptors at a fraction of processing time. This paper addresses problems of selecting the standard cells from the CADAT standard cell library to realize the logic implied by the DDL description of the system. Clinical performance was measured using a self-report measure. PMID:25424803. Nonlinear contributions, arising from the coupling between electrons and the molecular vibrations. Nonlinear batch simulation analysis shows the control law exhibits good performance and meets most of the design guidelines over the entire range of angle-of-attack. Oklahoma State Dept. Waveform sets with good correlation and/or stopband properties have received extensive attention and been widely used in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. The Correlational Research Process 17 The Correlational Research Process 5. Simulating such processes by reproducing precisely their marginal distribution and linear correlation structure, including features like intermittency, can greatly improve hydrological analysis and design. Sixty-five undergraduate nursing students were recruited randomly from five Jordanian universities. Calligari, Paolo; Gerolin, Marco; Abergel, Daniel; Polimeno, Antonino. The meeting is intended to enhance interactions between theory, applications, instrument design, and participants. Research designs and making causal inferences from health care studies. Following validation rating of appropriateness of interventions and quantitative rankings of first-, second-, and third-line approaches, participants provided substantive handwritten narrative comments about listed interventions. We also discuss the design of trials where is known before or during randomization of patients and evaluate randomization schemes based on such knowledge. We extend our prior discussion of symmetric cumulants and compute as yet unmeasured symmetric cumulants. Descriptive norms (i.e., perceptions about the prevalence or frequency of a behavior) are reliable and comparatively strong predictors of general drinking behavior, with recent evidence indicating that they are also associated with pregaming. Curtis, Elizabeth A; Comiskey, Catherine; Dempsey, Orla. Correlation has been successfully demonstrated under ideal conditions; however, noise significantly affects the ability of the correlator to accurately identify input signals. Correlation of normal and superconducting properties and unified approach to the description of high Tc oxides. Such systems are therefore naturally described in terms of multiplex or multilayer networks, i.e., networks where each layer stands for a different type of interaction between the same set of nodes. This enables bus faults to be detected and reconfigured through a voted bus control configuration. The positions and sizes of viewing zones and the softness of gradients of mean power and astigmatism of personalized lenses were customized to individual viewing preferences. PMID:19607668, Software Design Description for the HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), Version 2.2, scalars. Trinary signed-digit (TSD) symbolic-substitution-based (SS-based) optical adders, which were recently proposed, are used as the basic modules for designing highly parallel optical multiplications by use of cascaded optical correlators. Various staffing measures have been used in examining the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes. Data were analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficients (rs) and content analysis. The two correlation techniques are compared. The purpose of this work is to propose a method to implement the results of process analysis according to XML techniques (eXtensible Markup Language). Design: A cross-sectional, descriptive survey study was conducted. In addition, the proposed joint spatial encodings increase the space bandwidth product of the spatial light modulators of the optical system. The design methodology employed in testing the applicability of Ada in large-scale combat simulations is described. A high-speed correlator for radio and radar observations was developed and a controller was designed so that the correlator could run automatically without computer intervention. The purpose of the paper is to present object oriented hardware modeling with mentioned features. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables. CONCLUSION The role description developed as a result of this study brings clarity to the medical directors role in Canadian LTC facilities; the functions outlined are considered important for medical directors to undertake. Computer-based evaluation of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment patients during a picture description task. Physical design correlates of efficiency and safety in emergency departments: a qualitative examination. There are two kinds of variables: independent variables and dependent variables.In the simplest terms, the independent variable is whatever the researchers are using to attempt to make a change in their dependent variable. We characterize and show the relevance of these entropic correlations in a variety of different scenarios, ranging from typical Bell experiments to more refined descriptions such as bilocality and information causality. The most significant predictor which influenced depression in cancer patients was perceived stress, followed by anger-in and hobby, and these factors explained their depression with a variance of 54%. Technical Report No. ((c) 2007 APA, all rights reserved). The purposes of this study were to describe patterns of bottle feeding opportunities in preterm infants and to analyze the relationships between feeding opportunities and outcomes. The cohort of RNs at T2 reported significantly lower work engagement in the time period after the loss of Magnet designation when compared with the RN cohort at T1 during Magnet designation (P .0002). Conclusions Most of the research published in Brazilian physical therapy journals used levels II and III of evidence. Data were then reviewed by the research team and coded to identify patterns, categories, and themes. To develop quantitative design principles for guiding site-directed recombination of AAV capsids, we have examined how capsid structural perturbations predicted by the SCHEMA algorithm correlate with experimental measurements of disruption in seventeen chimeric capsid proteins. Standard error of the mean was quoted in 19(37%). The Kamehameha Early Education Program (KEEP) is a research and development program designed to develop, demonstrate, and disseminate methods for improving the education of Hawaiian and part-Hawaiian children; this report contains a description of the reading curriculum used in the KEEP demonstration school during the 1975-76 school year. There were 142 paired samples of oral tracheal secretions. This research was conducted as a survey using a descriptive method in order to ascertain the views of school managers and teachers about the correlation between school managers' communication skills and school culture in, The AP Descriptive Chemistry Question: Student Errors, For over a decade, the authors have been involved in a design theory experiment providing software for high school students preparing for the descriptive question on the Advanced Placement (AP) chemistry examination. Copyright 2015 American Society for Pain Management Nursing. Decomposition of Proteins into Dynamic Units from Atomic Cross-Correlation Functions. It has been shown that the fermionic correlation functions are marked by a characteristic upper bound due to Fermi statistics, which can be verified in the matter wave counterpart of photon down-conversion experiments. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with Swedish university nursing students in 2012-2013. Beck S.: Designing a study, in Mateo MA, Kirchhoff KT (eds): Conducting and Using Nursing Research in the Clinical Setting. The chi(2) test was used to assess between-site differences and the correlation between fluorescence imaging and clinical response. This was consistent with the structure of the design space. Here we study the temporal correlations between layers exhibited by real social multiplex networks. This proxy assessment may be further developed to expedite and enhance patient-centered care planning processes, but user input is first needed to finalize the core requirements that will guide its design. A normalization approach, normalization for cross correlations, a system's description with block diagrams, and system's applications are discussed. This paper discusses only four elements tests three of which include joints and one that includes a tapering honeycomb core detail.
