Loss Of Sympathetic Control Of Cardiovascular Function Following Spinal Cord Injury, Charles Everett Hogancamp Ii Jan 2004

Loss Of Sympathetic Control Of Cardiovascular Function Following Spinal Cord Injury, Charles Everett Hogancamp Ii

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

Cardiovascular control in the human is significantly impaired after spinal cord injury(SCI) having a direct effect on the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) causing an inability toregulate vasoconstriction below the level of the lesion. The effects of SCI on the two majorcomponents of blood pressure regulation, control of plasma volume and neural control of theheart and peripheral vasculature are poorly understood. In particular, no index to diagnosedisorders to autonomic control of the heart and vasculature has been developed. The presentstudy primarily utilized noninvasively acquired, easily accessible variables that may havepromise as indicators of autonomic activity for assessing the level of autonomic …


An Econometric Analysis Of Infant Mortality, Pollution, And Income In The U.S. Counties, Margarita Yuri Somov Jan 2004

An Econometric Analysis Of Infant Mortality, Pollution, And Income In The U.S. Counties, Margarita Yuri Somov

University of Kentucky Master's Theses

The concept of economic development has broadened to include environmental quality and population health. Interactions between income and pollution, income and health, and pollution and health have been studied separately by researchers from various disciplines. This study attempts to unify several different research strands and analyze simultaneous interactions between population health, measured by the infant mortality rate, pollution, and income in one endogenous system. Socioeconomic, racial, and rural urban disparities in infant mortality, pollution, and income are analyzed. The simultaneous equation system, estimated using the two-stage least squares method, tests whether pollution effects on infant mortality are outweighed by income …

Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus Jan 2004

Space-Based Fundamental Research And The Itar: A Study In Vagueness, Overbreadth, And Prior Restraint, Rachel Lehmer Claus

Santa Clara Journal of International Law

Fundamental research is openly conducted science and engineering research carried out at institutions of higher education in the United States. Faculty, students, collaborators and other researchers in these institutions engage in the free, constant and lively exchange of ideas with their peers in the U.S. and abroad. Based on changes made by Congress in 1999, universities operating in the public domain and carrying out unclassified space-based research in various disciplines may find that they are not allowed to involved foreign students, faculty and collaborators in the research unless they obtain an export license from the State department. Based on ITAR …

Kentucky's Perpetual Prisoner Machine: It's About Money, Stephen C. Richards, James Austin, Richard S. Jones Jan 2004

Kentucky's Perpetual Prisoner Machine: It's About Money, Stephen C. Richards, James Austin, Richard S. Jones

Social and Cultural Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Kentucky is currently facing a severe budget crisis and is seeking ways to lower its prison and community corrections costs. This article focuses on our study of the prison and parole experience of men and women in Kentucky. What we found is a virtual “perpetual incarceration machine” where prisoners are recycled from prison to parole and back to prison. The following discussion includes: Kentucky's prison population continues to grow, parole failure, methods, description of interview samples, interview data, the structure producing parole failure, and Kentucky's perpetual incarceration mechine. Based on our findings, several promising reforms are recommended that if implemented …

Righting Victim Wrongs: Responding To Philosophical Criticisms Of The Nonspecific Victim Liability Defense, Aya Gruber Jan 2004

Righting Victim Wrongs: Responding To Philosophical Criticisms Of The Nonspecific Victim Liability Defense, Aya Gruber

Publications

Modern criminal law is intensely one-sided in its treatment of victims and defendants. Crime victims and criminal defendants do not enter the trial process on an equal moral footing. Rather, from the beginning victims are assumed blameless, truthful, and even beyond doubt, while defendants are guilty, not worthy of credence, and immoral. This one-sided view of victims, however, is a fiction. As any other people, victims differ in their characterizations. Some are indeed trustworthy, truthful, blameless and ultimately innocent. Others, however, are bad actors themselves, have memory failures, falsely identify, provoke, and even lie. Some victims are in fact, and …


Guard-Ring Electrode Effects On Crosstalk In Simulated 2d Cmos Compatible Vertical Photodiode Pixel Arrays, Paul Jansz-Dravetzky, Steven Hinckley Jan 2004

Guard-Ring Electrode Effects On Crosstalk In Simulated 2d Cmos Compatible Vertical Photodiode Pixel Arrays, Paul Jansz-Dravetzky, Steven Hinckley

Research outputs pre 2011

In this study, we have simulated the electrical crosstalk in back-illuminated and front-illuminated photodiode arrays as a function of substrate thickness and junction depth for single junction photodiode pixels, with and without guard-ring electrodes. The physical mechanisms responsible for electrical crosstalk suppression are explained using an absorption volume proportion concept. The results obtained show that significant crosstalk suppression can be achieved for back-illuminated thin substrate guarded-pixel arrays

The Use Of Assessment Data In Academic Strategic Planning., Susan L. Aloi Jan 2004

The Use Of Assessment Data In Academic Strategic Planning., Susan L. Aloi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This study was based on the philosophical premise that the mission of an institution of higher education should be focused on student-learning outcomes, and all strategic decisions need to be made in accordance with what has been proven to enhance student learning. Because the assessment process results in data that can determine what conditions positively affect student learning, these data should be used to make the strategic decisions that affect the core student-learning mission of the institution. The intent of this research project was to cull best practices in integrating assessment with planning from institutions that have productive planning and …


Study Of Surface Regeneration: Characteristics Of A Candle Filter At High Temperature., Balakrishnan Viswanathan Jan 2004

Study Of Surface Regeneration: Characteristics Of A Candle Filter At High Temperature., Balakrishnan Viswanathan

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A hot gas particulate filtration system requires effective removal of particles to protect the downstream equipments. The leading technology for particle removal is the ceramic barrier filter technology. The ceramic candle filters are most promising to survive at temperatures up to 1600◦ F. At these high temperatures, there are certain problems that have to be dealt with candle filters. During the filtration process, with time, there is an accumulation of an ash cake on the outer surface of the filter. This causes the pressure drop through the thickness of the filter wall to increase with time. A back pulse in …


Developing Intelligent Synthetic Logs: Application To Upper Devonian Units In Pennsylvania., Luisa F. Rolon Jan 2004

Developing Intelligent Synthetic Logs: Application To Upper Devonian Units In Pennsylvania., Luisa F. Rolon

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A methodology to generate synthetic wireline logs is presented. Synthetic logs can help to analyze the reservoir properties in areas where the set of logs that are necessary, are absent or incomplete. The approach presented involves the use of Artificial Neural Networks, as the main tool, in conjunction with data obtained from conventional wireline logs. Implementation of this approach aims to reduce operation costs to companies. Development of the neural network model was completed using a General Regression Neural Network, and four wells that included gamma ray, density, neutron, and resistivity logs. Synthetic logs were generated through two different exercises. …
