A Test Of Self-Directed Practice And Feedback In The Reduction Of A Disturbance In Body Image, Carla Carolyn Adams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A disturbance in body image has long been implicated in the development and maintenance of a variety of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Recently, the role of feedback in the reduction of a disturbance in body image has received increased attention with the suggestion that a combination of experimenter-provided accuracy feedback plus self-directed practice may be a powerful element in the reduction of such a disturbance.

This study provides an examination of the role of self-directed practice and feedback in altering a disturbance in body image. Forty-eight women suffering from body image dysphoria participated in a …

Development Of Stereoscopic Particle Tracking Velocimetry For Turbulent Flow Field Diagnostics, Veera P. Rajendran

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Stereoscopic particle tracking velocimetry (SPTV) was used to analyze a turbulent submerged jet of Reynolds number (based on the diameter of the nozzle) 8000. SPTV involves tracking the motion of tracer particles over time in a flow in three dimensions. The first part of this work consisted of developing a stereoscopic particle tracking technique using two high-speed video cameras. This included calibration of the cameras with "known" points, and developing an algorithm to automatically match and track particles. The second part was to apply the same to a submerged water jet in order to measure velocities. The velocities were subsequently …

A Study Of The Atomic Number Dependence Of Charmed D Meson Hadroproduction, Eric Matthew Aitala

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

We have investigated the nuclear A dependence for the production of D0 and D+ charmed mesons in 500 GeV/c πN interactions. The data were taken by the E791 collaboration at Fermilab's Tagged Photon spectrometer and partially analyzed on a large UNIX/RISC based computer farm located at the University of Mississippi. The measurement of the A dependence for charmed meson production reveals information about the quark distribution within nucleons, specifically the quark distribution function and the. nuclear cross sections. The study also reveals information on the state of the E791 reconstruction and Monte Carlo simulation.
