Institution Of A Behavior-Based Safety System In A Mid-Sized Corporation, Donald Gary Brown

All ETDs from UAB

A behavior-based safety system was instituted in a mid-sized corporation that employed approximately 650 individuals. The intervention consisted of training, observations, and feedback and used a time-series analysis with multiple baseness. One division received the intervention, while two other divisions served as concurrent baseness. Initially, the corporate safety team received training on the behavior-based safety system. They began conducting baseline observations in all three divisions in January 1998. In the division that received the intervention, the safety team began conducting baseline observations in April 1998 and the production personnel began their observations in June 1998. The other two divisional safety …

Prophylaxis Of Disease Caused By Bacterial Pathogens Of Man, Richard William Titball

Other Faculty of Health Theses

This thesis reports research undertaken which will lead to improved pretreatments and therapies for disease caused by Clostridium perfringens, Francisella tularensis, Yersinia pestis and Burkholderia pseudomallei. C. perfringens is thought to be the most widely distributed bacterial pathogen and is the most important Clostridial species associated with enteric disease in domesticated animals. During warfare C. perfringens has been a significant causes of mortality. Between 1 and 10% of wounded personnel developed gas gangrene during the 1st and 2nd world wars. The ability of the bacterium to cause a range of diseases is due largely to the differential production of toxins. …

Rna Binding Domain Of Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase, Cary Lai, James R. Mitchell, Kathleen Collins

Biology Faculty Publications

Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein reverse transcriptase that extends the ends of chromosomes. The two telomerase subunits essential for catalysis in vitro are the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and the telomerase RNA. Using truncations and site-specific mutations, we identified sequence elements of TERT and telomerase RNA required for catalytic activity and protein-RNA interaction for Tetrahymena thermophila telomerase. We found that the TERT amino and carboxyl termini, although evolutionarily poorly conserved, are nonetheless important for catalytic activity. In contrast, high-affinity telomerase RNA binding requires only a small region in the amino terminus of TERT. Surprisingly, the TERT region necessary and sufficient for …

Unbundling Ge/Honeywell: The Assessment Of Conglomerate Mergers Under Ec Competition Law, Götz Drauz

Fordham International Law Journal

A careful approach needs to be taken by antitrust authorities in the assessment of the possible exclusionary effects of conglomerate mergers on competitive conditions. In general, conglomerate mergers will raise concerns when they make the leverage of market power possible, thus having as their effect or object a foreclosure of the market to effective competition. The resulting competitive harm stems from the accumulation of substantial market power across complementary products or product ranges that, not being based on normal business performance or competition on the merits, may substantially reduce consumers' choice and ultimately lead to higher prices and a loss …

'Consent' In Relation To Curbs Of Parallel Trade In Europe, Valentine Korah

Fordham International Law Journal

The most important development of 2000 in competition law for Intellectual Property (“IP”) advisors is, probably, the judgment in the Court of First Instance (“CFI”) in Bayer v. Commission. Preventing traders buying medicines in countries where the government permits them to be sold only at prices well below world levels has long created problems. Parallel traders then sell them in countries where the maximum price is higher.

Specificity Of The Social Interaction Self-Statement Test In Social Phobia, Carolyn Becker, N. Namour, Claudia Zayfert, M. T. Hegel

Psychology Faculty Research

The specificity of the Social Interaction Self-Statement Test (SISST) was evaluated in sample of 277 patients seeking treatment for anxiety. Both the positive and negative scales significantly discriminated between patients diagnosed with social phobia and other anxiety disorder patients. Patients with social phobia scored significantly higher on the negative scale and significantly lower on the positive scale as compared with other treatment-seeking anxiety disorder patients. Negative SISST scores were significantly correlated with the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The positive scale was significantly correlated with the BDI. Despite this relationship, differences in BAI and BDI scores …

Security In A Distributed Processing Environment, Elizabeth Mary Joyce

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Distribution plays a key role in telecommunication and computing systems today. It has become a necessity as a result of deregulation and anti-trust legislation, which has forced businesses to move from centralised, monolithic systems to distributed systems with the separation of applications and provisioning technologies, such as the service and transportation layers in the Internet. The need for reliability and recovery requires systems to use replication and secondary backup systems such as those used in ecommerce. There are consequences to distribution. It results in systems being implemented in heterogeneous environment; it requires systems to be scalable; it results in some …

Buckets: Smart Objects For Digital Libraries, Michael L. Nelson

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Current discussion of digital libraries (DLs) is often dominated by the merits of the respective storage, search and retrieval functionality of archives, repositories, search engines, search interfaces and database systems. While these technologies are necessary for information management, the information content is more important than the systems used for its storage and retrieval. Digital information should have the same long-term survivability prospects as traditional hardcopy information and should be protected to the extent possible from evolving search engine technologies and vendor vagaries in database management systems. Information content and information retrieval systems should progress on independent paths and make limited …

Cognitive And Non-Cognitive Characteristics As Predictors Of College Success Among African-American And Caucasian Students In A Comprehensive Community College, Denise Marie Scameheorn

Dissertations

Problem. This study examined the relationship of selected cognitive and non-cognitive characteristics of community college students, particularly Aftican-American and Caucasian students, with self-concept, class attendance patterns, and GPA.

Method. The subjects were 185 community college students. They completed the Non- Cognitive Questionnaire and the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory. Demographic data were obtained from the college student database. Instructors provided attendance and grade records.

Results.

1. Student self-concept was related to age, academic background and skills, and selected learning and study strategies.

2. Student class attendance was related to family support, ethnicity, academic background and skills, and motivation.

3. Student …

The Impact Of Intentional Learning Experiences For Personal Spiritual Formation On Seminary Students, Carol M. Tasker

Dissertations

Problem. Many seminary students describe their time in seminary as a spiritual desert. Most Protestant seminaries do not provide spiritual formation classes for their students, thinking that such measures are unnecessary or inappropriate for theological education, or assuming that the church is the place for spiritual formation to take place. Nevertheless, pastors are expected to be spiritual leaders, and the pastor’s spirituality is ranked by laity as the highest priority needed by seminary graduates for effective church ministry. A literature survey of theological education shows that, in the last 150 years, students have consistently recognized their need for help …
