A Conspiracy Of Caring: The Meaning Of The Client's Experience Of Nursing As The Promotion Of Well-Being, Cathie L. Wallace
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
This research explored the client's experience of nursing as the promotion of well-being. The question guiding the study was: What is the meaning of nursing as the promotion of well-being? Using a phenomenological-hermeneutical approach, eight participants described their experiences of the phenomenon. Three metathemes emerged and expressed nursing as the promotion of well-being: (1) Being There Conveys a Willingness to Relate; (2) Being With Enables the Feeling of Comfort; and (3) Being in Tune While Creating the Future. Further analysis led to the apprehension of a unity of meaning: An Emancipating Togetherness--The Creation of a Caring Synchrony that Empowers a …

Argument Structure Preference And Phrase Structure Effects During Sentence Processing, Harold Nicholas Nagel
Argument Structure Preference And Phrase Structure Effects During Sentence Processing, Harold Nicholas Nagel
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
This project investigates how subjects' preferences for a specific argument structure of a verb affect the on-line processing of sentences. Three experiments are conducted. The first experiment uses a forced choice task to gather preference ratings for several verbs. The second and third experiments use these preference ratings to examine on-line performance for a subset of the subjects participating in Experiment I. We find that a subject's preference for a specific argument structure influences the first pass analysis of sentence but that this effect may be overridden by a structural effect in sentences containing syntactic ambiguities. These results are discussed …

Derivation And Identification Of Linearly Parametrized Robot Manipulator Dynamic Models, Hua. Xu
Derivation And Identification Of Linearly Parametrized Robot Manipulator Dynamic Models, Hua. Xu
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
The dissertation focuses on robot manipulator dynamic modeling, and inertial and kinematic parameters identification problem. An automatic dynamic parameters derivation symbolic algorithm is presented. This algorithm provides the linearly independent dynamic parameters set. It is shown that all the dynamic parameters are identifiable when the trajectory is persistently exciting. The parameters set satisfies the necessary condition of finding a persistently exciting trajectory. Since in practice the system data matrix is corrupted with noise, conventional estimation methods do not converge to the true values. An error bound is given for Kalman filters. Total least squares method is introduced to obtain unbiased …

Development And Evaluation Of A Model For Teacher Reflection, Arthur Wyman Jr Tate
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
The eighties will be known as a decade of reform, a time when several key reports highlighted serious deficiencies in education and alerted the public to the possibility of a crisis in this country. It has been suggested that for education to improve, teachers must become more aware. What is needed, many believed, is for teachers to become more reflective. Reflection, in the context of teaching, refers to teachers thinking systematically about their work, evaluating what happens in the classroom and eventually making changes to improve teaching and learning. Although the literature was replete with theory on how a practitioner …

Effects Of Prenatal Cocaine Exposure On Social And Interactive Behaviors In The Developing Rat, Robin D. Wood
Electronic Theses and Dissertations 1990 - 1999
Prenatal exposure to cocaine has been associated with a variety of deleterious effects on human infants. In this study, several measures were examined using the rat as a model of the clinical effects found in children of cocaine-abusing mothers. Infant rats exposed to 40 mg/kg during gestation via injections to their dam do not differ from nutritional and saline controls on such measures as body weight, age of eye opening, latency to attach to a nipple, and preference for a home odor. However, cocaine exposed pups show significantly suppressed levels of play and are more submissive in a play encounter …
