Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson Jan 1998

Eye Health Of Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander People: Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Health Reviews: Number 1, Neil Thomson, Beverley Paterson

Research outputs pre 2011

As with many other aspects of health status, it is most probable that prior to the European settlement of Australia in 1788 the eye health of Australian Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders was excellent. In fact. their eye health was almost certainly better than that of Europeans of the time. There are no definite data from early post-settlement times, but this conclusion appears reasonable from the results of a number of thorough surveys conducted as late as the 1940s and 1950s ( 1-4) Despite finding some severe preventable problems, particularly trachoma (a form of infective conjunctivitis - see Appendix l …

Wetland Vegetation Monitoring, 1998 Survey: Gnangara Wetlands, N. E. Pettit, R. H. Froend Jan 1998

Wetland Vegetation Monitoring, 1998 Survey: Gnangara Wetlands, N. E. Pettit, R. H. Froend

Research outputs pre 2011

Water regimes, both groundwater and surface water components dil'ectly effect distribution, health and species composition of wetland fringing vegetation. In the area of the northern Swan Coastal Plain overlying the Gnangara groundwater mound, wetland water levels and therefore the vegetation can be intimately connected to underlying groundwater levels. The Water Corporation (formerly Water Authority of Western Australia) has been drawing water from the Gnangara mound for domestic water supply for a number of years. The main objective of this study is to monitor the changes in the vegetation fringing these wetlands and to determine if this is related to changes …

Indictments And Informations In Texas: The Conduct/Evidence Pleading Conundrum., Robert R. Barton Jan 1998

Indictments And Informations In Texas: The Conduct/Evidence Pleading Conundrum., Robert R. Barton

St. Mary's Law Journal

In the prosecution of a criminal case in Texas, the State’s primary pleading is an indictment or information. In an indictment or information, there are two basic rules for the charging of an offense. First, the defendant must be given adequate notice to prepare a defense and to plead the judgment from the trial of the case in bar to a subsequent prosecution for the same offense. Second, the State is not required to plead evidentiary matters. The simplicity of these rules exists more in their statement than in their application because circumstances exist which require the State to plead …

Urban Effects On Precipitation In The Southern United States Of America., Youngeun Choi Jan 1998

Urban Effects On Precipitation In The Southern United States Of America., Youngeun Choi

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Of the many weather conditions influenced by urban areas, precipitation is one of the most controversial and unsolved elements in characterizing the urban climate. The purpose of this dissertation was to identify anomalies in precipitation totals and frequencies due to urban effects and to evaluate whether certain meteorological conditions or seasons have more apparent effects. The five largest cities in the south-central United States were selected: Houston; Dallas; San Antonio; New Orleans; and Memphis. It was assumed that simple spatial analysis can detect urban effects on precipitation over and downwind of the city with a localized maximum. Trend surface analysis …

An Analytical Approach To A Tree-Farm Wetland Study., Robert Cunninghame Davidge Jan 1998

An Analytical Approach To A Tree-Farm Wetland Study., Robert Cunninghame Davidge

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Wetland delineation is important because federal and local government regulations limit permissible uses of wetlands. Federal delineation regulations are based upon the use of a manual jointly agreed upon by EPA, USACOE, and NRCS. The manual provides for classification of land as either wetland or non-wetland based upon the 3 criteria of soil, vegetation, and hydrology. No provision is made for gradation between categorical wetland and categorical non-wetland. Controversy has sometimes developed between landowners and environmentalists as to proper wetland classification; some delineations have been considered arbitrary. The analytical method of wetland appraisal provides a means of assigning continuous numerical …

Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown Jan 1998

Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

With 50% of college attendees leaving college with student loan debt and the default rate of these loans dropping substantially, it may be time to turn our attention away from repayer-defaulter comparisons to look at loaner-non-loaner comparisons. This study addressed the research gaps in the student loans literature by linking leadership, diligence, and post-collegiate behaviors to loan procurement. Respondents in this study (n = 692) were examined and survey data was collected using abstracted versions of the Posner and Brodsky (1992) Leadership Practice Inventory, the Bernard (1991) Diligence Inventory, and an original demographic questionnaire. Leadership competencies, diligence competencies, post-collegiate behaviors, …

An Analysis Of Reimbursement Methodologies And Cost Containment Policies In Medicaid Inpatient Hospital And Pharmaceuticals., Etienne Elmer Pracht Jan 1998

An Analysis Of Reimbursement Methodologies And Cost Containment Policies In Medicaid Inpatient Hospital And Pharmaceuticals., Etienne Elmer Pracht

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation consists of three essays. The first essay provides an analysis of the interaction between special interest groups, public interest factors, median voters' tastes and preferences regarding the provision of medical services for the poor, and cost containment policies on one side, and drug reimbursement levels, the size of state Medicaid programs, and the size of states' drug budgets on the other. The relative strengths of special interest are shown to be one of the most important determinants of drug reimbursement levels and drug expenditures. The median voters' preferences significantly explain the size of states' Medicaid programs. The results …

Considering Outcomes Beyond Achievement: Student Participation As An Indicator Of High School Performance., Susan Elizabeth Kochan-Teddlie Jan 1998

Considering Outcomes Beyond Achievement: Student Participation As An Indicator Of High School Performance., Susan Elizabeth Kochan-Teddlie

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation is the product of a three-phase exploratory study that utilized both quantitative and qualitative methods in order to develop and test a composite indicator of high school performance that measures the degree to which high schools strike a balance between the press for academic excellence and the need to sustain all students--even the most marginal--on to high school completion. In Phase I, undaunted and relative performance indicators (UPIs and RPIs) of student achievement and participation were calculated for a statewide sample of 308 schools whose grade configurations included grades 9-12. The achievement scores were composites of student performance …

Rapid Assessment Of The Bacteriological Quality Of Milk By The Use Of Adenosine Triphosphate Bioluminescence., Pushpa John Samkutty Jan 1998

Rapid Assessment Of The Bacteriological Quality Of Milk By The Use Of Adenosine Triphosphate Bioluminescence., Pushpa John Samkutty

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Raw milk samples (n = 246) and pasteurized milk samples (n = 104) were analyzed to determine adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and compared with the standard plate count (SPC). An ATP filtration method was used to filter milk samples prior to ATP determination, which was measured in relative light units (RLU). The ATP assay took approximately 7 minutes to complete and could allow rapid prediction of SPC which is a measure of raw milk quality. Linear regression analysis was performed on data from three raw milk treatments defined as; fresh milk samples, samples preliminarily incubated at 12.8 and 15.6$\sp\circ$C for 18 …

The New South Gubernatorial Campaigns Of 1970 And The Changing Politics Of Race., Donald Randy Sanders Jan 1998

The New South Gubernatorial Campaigns Of 1970 And The Changing Politics Of Race., Donald Randy Sanders

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

In 1970 four young racially moderate Democrats won the governor's chairs of Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. These southern gubernatorial elections and the subsequent inaugural speeches signaled a transformation of racial politics in the region. As the campaigns began, however, persistent ambivalence concerning the pace of integration and court-ordered busing of school children to achieve racial balances tempted many politicians to exploit these concerns. Their efforts failed; southerners had decided to obey the law. The successful candidates understood that the electorate had come to this decision with varying degrees of enthusiasm and that their campaigns must reflect this ambivalence; …

Tobacco Farming In The Age Of The Surgeon General's Warning: The Cultural Ecology And Structuration Of Burley Tobacco Production In Madison County, North Carolina., Catherine Marie Algeo Jan 1998

Tobacco Farming In The Age Of The Surgeon General's Warning: The Cultural Ecology And Structuration Of Burley Tobacco Production In Madison County, North Carolina., Catherine Marie Algeo

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study analyzes the transformation of burley tobacco farming underway in the late twentieth century in light of social, political, and economic forces that make tobacco a contested crop. It focuses on one county in southern Appalachia, Madison County, North Carolina, where tobacco has been a cash crop for over a hundred years. A synthesis of the theoretical and methodological approaches of cultural ecology and structuration is proposed as a means of exploring the components of agricultural change within Appalachia at a continuum of scales from the local to the national, while contextualizing farming within its environmental and social settings. …

Dynamics And Management Of Insecticide Resistance In The Horn Fly, Haematobia Irritans Irritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae)., Antonio Thadeu Medeiros De Barros Jan 1998

Dynamics And Management Of Insecticide Resistance In The Horn Fly, Haematobia Irritans Irritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae)., Antonio Thadeu Medeiros De Barros

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Studies on resistance of the horn fly, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.), to insecticides were conducted in Louisiana from 1989 to 1998. These studies included monitoring resistance and resistance dynamics under different strategies of insecticide use, monitoring the efficacy of insecticide products, establishing a relationship between bioassay findings and product efficacy, and evaluation of a new insecticide class. In four years (1989--1992), efficacy of 20% diazinon-impregnated car tags used yearly was reduced from greater than twenty to just one week of control, and tag failure was observed with resistance ratios (RR) from 1.8 to 5.7. Diazinon resistance developed more slowly and …

An Exploratory Study Of The Impact Of Hypermedia-Based Approach And Science-In-Fiction Approach For Instruction On The Polymerase Chain Reaction., Lynda A. Britton Jan 1998

An Exploratory Study Of The Impact Of Hypermedia-Based Approach And Science-In-Fiction Approach For Instruction On The Polymerase Chain Reaction., Lynda A. Britton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Exploration of meaningful learning of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed instruction by a researcher-developed hypermedia computer program that incorporated human constructivist principles and a "science-in-fiction" chapter of a novel that described PCR. Human constructivism is the Ausubel-Novak-Gowin (1997) meaningful learning theory that supports science learning through graphic representations and multiple examples. Science-in-fiction is a new genre of fiction introduced by the prominent scientist, Carl Djerassi, to engender an appreciation for science, and its ethical dilemmas. Chapter 19 of Djerassi's 1994 novel, The Bourbaki Gambit, was placed into hypermedia format to standardize the presentation. As part of a clinical microbiology …

An Examination Of Automatic Versus Strategic Semantic Priming Effects In Broca's Aphasia., Janice Feagin Del Toro Jan 1998

An Examination Of Automatic Versus Strategic Semantic Priming Effects In Broca's Aphasia., Janice Feagin Del Toro

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The ability to recognize words is frequently investigated using a lexical decision (LD) priming task in which subjects make rapid yes/no judgements as to whether visually presented letter strings (targets) are words or not. A well established finding is that words are recognized faster when preceded by related words. This "semantic priming effect" is believed to represent both automatic and conscious, strategic driven processes. One factor that influences the degree to which subjects recognize words automatically or consciously, is the time interval between the presentation of the prime and the presentation of the target. This is referred to as the …

A Comparative Study Of Communication Intervention For Nonverbal Children With Autism., Kelly C. Higgins Jan 1998

A Comparative Study Of Communication Intervention For Nonverbal Children With Autism., Kelly C. Higgins

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Communication intervention for 3 nonverbal children with autism was compared in an alternating treatment design. Subjects were three males, ages 4--7, 3--6, and 3--5 who met diagnostic criteria for Autism and who were considered to be nonverbal according to developmental history, parent/teacher report and behavioral observation. Alternating treatment conditions included the established treatment format that each subject was receiving in his school setting (Treatment A) and a developmentally-integrated format of intervention structured to facilitate integrated cognitive, social and communicative development (Treatment B). Each intervention was characterized according to profiles of Traditional-Behavioral or Semantic Pragmatic-Developmental intervention formats. Characteristics of adult interaction …
