A Critical Examination Of The Use Of Preliminary Tests In Two-Sample Tests Of Location, Kimberly Tucker Perry

Dissertations

The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the appropriateness of testing the equality of two means using either a t test, the Welch test, or the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test for two independent samples based on the results of using two classes of preliminary tests. One class of preliminary tests determines whether the population variances differ, and the other class ascertains if the underlying distributions are symmetric or skewed. The F-ratio test and the Levene test (using the median) were compared as preliminary tests for variance homogeneity; and the DAgostino Sy and the Triples tests were also compared as preliminary tests …

The Effect Of Black Plastic Mulch Alone And In Combination With Various Types Of Plastic Row Covers On Production Of Sweet Corn, Morteza Jabalameli

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The effects of black polyethylene (PE) mulch alone and in combination with plastic film tunnels (Agronet, Reemay, whiteperforated, clear, and clear-slitted) were studied on morphology and yield of sweet corn in North Logan, Utah. Yields of "Miracle" sweet corn (Zea mays L.) were increased significantly by using black PE mulch and with a combination of various types of plastic row covers, as compared to unmulched soil. Standard-growth analysis procedures were conducted to verify responses among treatments. Treatment effects were determined by measuring days to first flowering, ear weight, number of side tillers, cob length, cob circumference, cob fill length, number …

Rules Versus Standards: An Economic Analysis, Louis Kaplow

Duke Law Journal

This Article offers an economic analysis of the extent to which legal commands should be promulgated as rules or standards. Two dimensions of the problem are emphasized. First, the choice between rules and standards affects costs: Rules typically are more costly than standards to create, whereas standards tend to be more costly for individuals to interpret when deciding how to act and for an adjudicator to apply to past conduct. Second, when individuals can determine the application of rules to their contemplated acts more cheaply, conduct is more likely to reflect the content of previously promulgated rules than of standards …

The Stare Decisis "Exception" To The Chevron Deference Rule, Rebecca White

Scholarly Works

In this article, the author discusses how Chevron intersects with one important competing norm - stare decisis. Stare decisis counsels the Court to adhere to its own decisions, particularly statutory ones, absent substantial justification for departure. To what extent should stare decisis apply when an agency's interpretation of a statute, otherwise deserving of deference under Chevron, conflicts with a prior interpretation of the statute by the Supreme Court?

This article suggests the following answer: If the Court's prior opinion upheld the agency's interpretation as one reasonable reading of the statute, but not the only one possible, and the agency thereafter …

Photopolymer-Based Stratified Volume Holographic Optical Elements, Gregory P. Nordin, A. R. Tanguay

Faculty Publications

We report the implementation of stratified volume holographic optical elements (SVHOE's) using DuPont's Omnidex holographic photopolymer material and an in situ exposure technique for simultaneous multilayer grating recording. Experimental measurement of the +1-order angular sensitivity of a seven-layer SVHOE structure shows remarkable agreement with both theory and numerical simulation for incidence angles near the Bragg angle. For SVHOE's having modulation layers that individually operate in the Bragg or transition diffraction regimes, the envelope of the SVHOE angular sensitivity is experimentally shown to approximate closely that of a single modulation layer.

Sociolinguistic Dimensions Of Nurse Practitioner Practice: A Question Of Power, Merrily J. Allen Dnsc, Mn, Rn

Dissertations

Ethnographic methods were used to examine the sociolinguistic dimensions of female nurse practitioner interactions with female patients. The purpose was to provide a contextual account of the discursive practices used by the nurse practitioners during routine office visits with female patients. Direction for this research was provided by my concern about power inherent in professional-client dyadic relationships. Data collection methods included formal and informal interviews, participant observation and audio taping nurse-patient encounters. Nine nurse practitioners and 26 patients participated in the study in both private and public ambulatory care settings. Data analysis yielded two concurrent story lines which I labeled …

A Case Tool For Conceptual Database Design, Keng Siau, Kok Phuang Tan, Hock Chuan Chan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The paper describes a Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool to support conceptual database modelling. One popular approach for conceptual database modelling is use of the Entity-Relationship (ER) model. The paper proposes the use of an Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EER) model for conceptual database modelling. This Enhanced Entity-Relationship model extends the Entity-Relationship model by incorporating the generalization/specialization, aggregation and categorization abstractions. The CASE tool, which is based on the Enhanced Entity-Relationship model, is known as the Enhanced Entity-Relationship Diagrammer (EERD). In addition, the CASE tool supports direct visual query and update based on the EERM.

Axonal Degeneration In Diabetic Neuropathy: An Assessment Of Single Fiber Electromyography, Chein-Wei Chang, Lee-Ming Chuang, I-Nan Lien

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Peripheral neuropathy is an important complication of diabetes mellitus. However, neuropathological changes in diabetic neuropathy with axonal degeneration or segmental demyelination are still unclear. By using a newly developing electrodiagnostic method of single fiber electromyography (SFEMG) with a computer-aided program, mean jitter value and muscle fiber density were measured in extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and anterior tibial (AT) muscles from 36 diabetic patients with neuropathy (group 1) and 12 patients without neuropathy (group Ⅱ) proved by nerve conduction study. The results showed an increased mean jitter value, fiber density and abnormal percentage both in EDC and AT muscles in group …

Intracavernous Injection Of Prostaglandin E1 In Spinal Cord Injured Patient With Erectile Dysfunction: A Preliminary Report, Fuk-Tan Tang, Pong-Yuen Wong, May-Kuen Wong

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Sexual dysfunction with inadequate or poorly sustained erection is a common problem among spinal cord injured patients although reflex erection may be preserved in upper motor neuron lesion and lower motor neuron and psychogenic erection may be preserved in incomplete lesion respectively. Methods to restore erection, such as vaccum tumescense constriction therapy and penile prostheses may be useful but potentially have adverse effects. Recently, intracavernous injection of prostaglandin E1 has been found beneficial to patients with neurogenic erectile dysfunction.In our study, we administered intracavernous injection of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), 15 μ g, to seven patients with neurogenic erectile dysfunction due …
