Cognitive Behavioral Therapy With Non-Ambulatory Clients In The Treatment Of Depressive Symptoms, Kevin C. O'Leary

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to expand the current research on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the treatment of depressive symptoms with a non-ambulatory client experiencing dysthymic depression. Using a single subject AB design, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was implemented during weekly sessions with Beck Depression Inventory and the Leahy Anxiety Checklist for Patients as outcome measures. Results suggest that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be used in the treatment of depressive symptoms in non-ambulatory clients. Clients with physical disabilities who experience mental illness have unique requirements suggesting the need for additional research.

Exact Filtered Back Projection (Fbp) Algorithm For Spiral Computer Tomography [Us], Alexander Katsevich

UCF Patents

Reconstructing images of objects spirally scanned with two-dimensional detectors with a novel algorithm. The image reconstruction process is proven to create an exact image of the object under the ideal circumstances. The algorithm has an FBP (Filtered Back Projection) structure and works very efficiently. The algorithm uses less computer power and combines the benefits of Exact Algorithms and Approximate algorithms.

A New Confidence Interval For The Difference Between Two Binomial Proportions Of Paired Data, Xiao-Hua Zhou, Gengsheng Qin

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

Motivated by a study on comparing sensitivities and specificities of two diagnostic tests in a paired design when the sample size is small, we first derived an Edgeworth expansion for the studentized difference between two binomial proportions of paired data. The Edgeworth expansion can help us understand why the usual Wald interval for the difference has poor coverage performance in the small sample size. Based on the Edgeworth expansion, we then derived a transformation based confidence interval for the difference. The new interval removes the skewness in the Edgeworth expansion; the new interval is easy to compute, and its coverage …

Orthogonal Macroelement Scaling Vectors And Wavelets In 1-D, Douglas P. Hardin, Bruce Kessler

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We develop a {\em macroelement} based technique for constructing orthogonal univariate multiwavelets. We illustrate the technique with two examples. In the first example we provide a new construction of the symmetric, orthogonal, continuous scaling vector given in \cite{GHM}. In the second example, we construct a continuous orthogonal scaling vector with three components. The components of this scaling vector are symmetric or antisymmetric and provide approximation order 3, (equivalently, the components of $\Psi$ are orthogonal to polynomials of degree 2 or less.) We believe this second example to be new.

Dendrochronology-Based Fire History Of Jeffrey Pine – Mixed Conifer Forests In The Sierra San Pedro Martir, Mexico, Scott L. Stephens, Carl N. Skinner, Samantha J. Gill

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Sciences

Conifer forests in northwestern Mexico have not experienced systematic fire suppression or logging, making them unique in western North America. Fire regimes of Pinus jeffreyi Grev. & Balf. mixed conifer forests in the Sierra San Pedro Martir, Baja California, Mexico, were determined by identifying 105 fire dates from 1034 fire scars in 105 specimens. Fires were recorded between 1521 and 1980 and median fire return intervals were less than 15 years at all compositing scales. Significant differences in mean fire return intervals were detected from 1700 to 1800, 1800 to 1900, and 1900 to 1997, most often at intermediate spatial …

Optical Photometry And X-Ray Monitoring Of The "Cool Algol" Bd+05˚706: Determination Of The Physical Properties, Guillermo Torres, Jeff A. Mader, Laurence A. Marschall, Ralph Neuhauser, Alaine S. Duffy

Physics and Astronomy Faculty Publications

We present new photometric observations in the BVRI bands of the double-lined eclipsing binary BD +05706 conducted over three observing seasons, as well as new X-ray observations obtained with ROSAT covering a full orbital cycle (P = 18.9 days). A detailed light-curve analysis of the optical data shows the system to be semidetached, confirming indications from an earlier analysis by Torres et al. (published in 1998), with the less massive and cooler star filling its Roche lobe. The system is a member of the rare class of cool Algol systems, which are different from the ‘‘ classical ’’ Algol systems …

The Real Exchange Rate In Small Open Developed Economies: Evidence From Cointegration Analysis, Debabrata Bagchi, Georgios E. Chortareas, Stephen M. Miller

Economics Working Papers

We examine the effects of the terms of trade and the expected real interest rate differential on the real exchange rate in a sample of small open developed economies. We employ cointegration analysis to search for possible long-term linkages. We find that while both the terms of trade and the expected real interest rate differentials affect the real exchange rate in the long run, the role of the terms of trade generally proves more consistent across countries. The speed of adjustment for the expected real interest rate differential in the error-correction model, however, is quantitatively larger than it is for …

Determination Of Properties Of Composite Materials From The Lamb Wave Propagation: Probabilistic, Interval, And Fuzzy Approaches, Fariba Ansari, William Durrer, Soheil Nazarian, Vladik Kreinovich

Departmental Technical Reports (CS)

One of the most efficient non-destructive techniques for finding hidden faults in a plate is the use of ultrasonic Lamb waves. These waves are reflected by faults, and from this reflection, we can locate the faults. For that, we need to know how the Lamb waves propagate. Their propagation is determined by the dynamic elastic constants C_pq, so we must find these constants. These constants cannot be measured directly; instead, we measure the dependence of the speed of frequency c(f), and we must reconstruct C_pq from the measured values of c(f). In this paper, we show how this can be …

Suprathermal Electron Isotropy In High-Beta Solar Wind And Its Role In Heat Flux Dropouts, N. U. Crooker, D. E. Larson, S. W. Kahler, S. M. Lamassa, Harlan E. Spence

Physics & Astronomy

[1] Time variations in plasma beta and a parameter which measures isotropy in suprathermal electron pitch angle distributions show a remarkably close correspondence throughout the solar wind. The finding implies that high-beta plasma, with its multiple magnetic holes and sharp field and plasma gradients, is conducive to electron pitch-angle scattering, which reduces heat flux from the Sun without field-line disconnection. Thus the finding impacts our understanding of signatures we use to determine magnetic topology in the heliosphere.

The purpose of this trip is to familiarize you with the latest Pennsylvanian and earliest Permian rocks that are exposed in extreme southeastern Nebraska. You will see eight exposures of these rocks and will have ample opportunity to collect lithologic samples, as well as samples for both macro- and micro-fossils. The stops have been selected to show you examples of several different environments that existed in southeastern Nebraska in the late Paleozoic. These include subaerial deposits with paleosols, nearshore and offshore marine clastic and carbonate sequences. Each stop is covered in detail in the handouts that have been furnished to …
