Phase II clinical trial are generally single arm trial where a homogeneity assumption is placed on the response. In practice, this assumption may be violated resulting in a heterogeneous response. This heterogeneous or overdispersed response can be...
The purpose of this study was to examine common algebra-related misconceptions and errors of middle school students. In recent years, success in Algebra I is often considered the mathematics gateway to graduation from high school and success...
In this study, the author examined the relationship of probability misconceptions
to algebra, geometry, and rational number misconceptions and investigated the potential
of probability instruction as an intervention to address misconceptions in all...
Ground-level ozone forecast models were developed for the following middle and small metropolitan areas in Kentucky: Ashland, Bowling Green, Owensboro, and Paducah. These models were nonlinear regression models, based on models previously developed...
Musical pitch--Data processing; Sound--Recording and reproducing--Digital techniques
Many mathematical formulas and algorithms exist to identify pitches formed by human voices, and this has continued to be popular in the fields of music and signal pro-cessing. Other systems and research perform real time pitch identification...
Missing data is very common in survey research. However, currently few guidelines exist with regard to the diagnosis and remedy to missing data in survey research. The goal of this thesis was to investigate properties and effects of three selected...
Ozone forecast models using nonlinear regression (NLR) have been successfully applied to daily ozone forecast for seven metro areas in Kentucky, including Ashland, Bowling Green, Covington, Lexington, Louisville, Owensboro, and Paducah. In this...
Evidence suggests that cortical minicolumns are reduced in size and increased in number in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), especially in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). More specifically minicolumns in individuals with...
Computer-aided minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has progressed significantly in the last decade and it has great potential in surgical planning and operations. To limit the damage to nearby healthy tissue, accurate modeling is required of the...
Supervisory control systems--Security measures; Automatic data collection systems--Security measures; Drinking water--Security measures; Computer networks--Security measures
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are used by many critical infrastructures including electric power production and distribution, water and waste water treatment, rail transportation, and gas and oil distribution. Originally...
A careful perusal of Shakespeare’s works leads to one outstanding conclusion. Shakespeare was preeminently interested in words, as such. His every play shows a painstaking attention to words in their various shades of meaning. It is our interest...
Heart--Diseases--Diagnosis; Diagnostic imaging; Magnetic resonance imaging; Imaging systems in medicine
Many cardiac diseases, such as myocardial ischemia, secondary to coronary artery disease, may be identified and localized through the analysis of cardiac deformations. Early efforts for quantifying ventricular wall motion used surgical implantation...
Simplified modeling generates a great deal of interest in the area of crashworthiness analysis. Modeling methods used to create simplified computer models for crashworthiness have been well developed. In advanced simplified models, researchers...
Musical meter and rhythm; Music--Instruction and study
This qualitative study examines the effect of two different syllable counting systems on four sixth-grade band students. The goal of this study was to see the differences and similarities between rhythm learning and performance between these...
Intelligent transportation systems; Air quality; Air--Pollution
Environmental or air quality impacts of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
are very difficult to measure. Some researchers have attempted to quantify the effects of
individual ITS application on emissions; yet, the effects of ITS as a whole...
Autographed three-quarter length seated portrait of actress Eleanor Barry wearing her hair in a bun, a pearl necklace, a long gown with sparkly embroidered patterns, and a large floral corsage. The Stuart Robson Company, of which Eleanor Barry was...
Portrait of a smiling woman wearing a hat and a necklace. She may be Aphie James, who performed at Macauley's Theatre with Louis James in March 1908 in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" (as Mrs. Ford); "The Comedy of Errors" (as...
Portrait of actor Louis James wearing a three-piece suit and tie. Born in Illinois in 1842, James made twelve appearances at Macauley's Theatre between 1879 and 1908, performing mostly Shakespearean plays. His only visit in 1908 was several weeks...
Photogravure portrait of actor and writer Stuart Robson wearing a jacket and tie. Robson, who married actress May Waldron, was born March 4, 1836 in Annapolis, Maryland, and died April 29, 1903 in New York City. He first performed at Macauley's...
