The Decline In Rural Hospitals: The Effect Of Investor-Owned Hospitals., Angela Marie Foley
The Decline In Rural Hospitals: The Effect Of Investor-Owned Hospitals., Angela Marie Foley
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Rural health care deserves special attention because rural areas have high poverty rates, a high proportion of elderly residents, and high-risk job conditions. However, the number of rural hospitals, often a rural areasí main source of health care, is decreasing. Literature has shown that one of the main factors in hospital closure is ownership, specifically for-profit. This study examines trends in rural hospitals and other factors, including for-profit ownership, that may affect the declining number of rural hospitals. Data are drawn from annual hospital data from 1974 to 1995. A moving time series analysis is used to present the trends …
An Empirical Investigation Of The Flexible Price Monetary Model Of The Exchange Rate: The Case Of Colombia., Marcelo Saenz
An Empirical Investigation Of The Flexible Price Monetary Model Of The Exchange Rate: The Case Of Colombia., Marcelo Saenz
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The monetary model of the exchange rate has proven to be an unreliable representation of exchange rates. Nevertheless, the monetary model is applied to the case of Colombia in this study. There are two reasons to believe that the model may offer an accurate description of exchange rates for Colombia. First, Colombia is a moderately high inflation economy, especially when compared to G7 countries. Second, the target zone arrangement established since 1991 was not fully credible, and as a result, the exchange rate appropriates a purely flexible exchange rate system. The results show that since 1980, the relation between exchange …
The Relationships Of Organizational Personality Variables With Worker Socio-Communicative Orientation, Communication Apprehension, Immediacy, And Job Satisfaction., Heather Teresa Smith
The Relationships Of Organizational Personality Variables With Worker Socio-Communicative Orientation, Communication Apprehension, Immediacy, And Job Satisfaction., Heather Teresa Smith
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
This study examined the organizational personality types of "upward mobile," "ambivalent," and "indifferent" with reference to their relationships with worker sociocommunicative orientation, communication apprehension, immediacy, and job satisfaction. The study examined self-report data from the measures of organizational personality scales, job satisfaction, communication apprehension, immediacy, and assertiveness/responsiveness. The study found that each of the three personality variables have unique relationships (some linear, some non-linear) with communication apprehension, immediacy, assertiveness, responsiveness, and job satisfaction.

The Influence Of Particle Size On Sand-Pack Properties And Drying Profile., Chandrashekmar S. Gothoskar
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The problem of underground contamination including contamination of potable water aquifers is more serious now than ever. Stringent pollution control laws as well as concern for the environment has given birth to the technology for remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. The Research conducted thus has proposed a way to contain the contamination from underground storage tanks from spreading and travelling downwards using the principles of desiccation in in-situ formations. The desiccant barrier proposed here is the circulating air barrier (CAB) which utilizes the injection of dry gas or air to create an ultra dry zone in situ. Thus the …

Although continuing education continues to be a viable method of gaining knowledge and enhancing skills, CDE course assessment of competencies …
Dimensional Changes Of Polysulfide Impression Materials Over Time., Saeid Zeiaei-Nafchi
Dimensional Changes Of Polysulfide Impression Materials Over Time., Saeid Zeiaei-Nafchi
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of time on dimensional changes of polysulfide impression materials over time. A stainless steel die fabricated according to the ADA, Standards Specification No.19 was used. Measurements were carried out at 15 minutes intervals up to 3 hours and at 6, 12, and 24 hours. Results, the mean, and the percentage dimensional changes were reported. All collected data was based on a repeated measure design. Split plot analysis of variance at P< 0.05 was used to calculate any statistically significant dimensional changes over time among the three impression materials. All three impression materials tested could produce replicas with clinically acceptable dimensional changes up to 24 hours after making the impression. However, after 3 hours, there were significantly greater dimensional changes approaching our standard of 40 µm acceptability. It is therefore recommended that polysulfide impression materials be poured within 3 hours of making the impression.

Thyroid Hormones Are Required During Long-Day Photoperiods For The Establishment Of Estradiol-Sensitive Afferent Input To, And Activation Of, Dopaminergic Neurons In The A15 Area Of The Ovine Hypothalamus., Ronald Deloyd Griffith Jr.
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Previous work has shown that thyroid hormones are required if ewes are to enter the nonbreeding season, and that these hormones allow estradiol to exert its negative feedback effects to achieve this condition. Evidence also suggests that glial plasticity may contribute to this effect. To determine the role of thyroid hormones in reproductive cyclicity, ewes were ovariectomized and given estradiol implants. Some animals were then thyroidectomized and some of these ewes received thyroxine supplements intracerebroventricularly. Dual label immunocytochemistry was employed to determine the degree of Fos/TH colocalization and measure any changes in glial ensheathment of A15 cells. Analysis revealed no …

The Role Of Lois Marie Gibbs In The Love Canal Crisis And Its Effect On Federal "Superfund" Legislation, 1973-1981., Daniel Victor Kahler
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
In the spring of 1978, a young homemaker named Lois Marie Gibbs discovered that her child was attending an elementary school built on top of a 20,000 ton, toxic chemical dump in Niagara Falls, New York. Out of desperation, she organized her neighbors into the Love Canal Homeowners Association and struggled more than two years for relocation. Opposing the group’s efforts were the chemical manufacturer, Hooker Chemical Corporation, and local, state, and federal government officials who insisted that the leaking toxic chemicals, including dioxin the most toxic chemical known to man, was not the cause of high rates of birth …
Language Attitude Study: The Perceptions Of The New Jersey And The Southern West Virginia Students, At West Virginia University, Of The New Jersey And Southern West Virginia Dialects., Leigh Anne Scalise
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The language attitude study of the two dialect groups: New Jersey and southern West Virginia on the West Virginia University, encompasses the lexicon of each group and the breakdown of communication between the two groups. The differences in lexicon and societal stereotypes keep the two groups from interacting on a personal and equal level of respect and kindness. The West Virginia students foster a strong resentment towards the students from New Jersey, and the feelings are reciprocated in that the New Jersey students prefer to associate with students from their home state. The dialect study proves the members of each …
