Enhancing The Interpretation Of Significant Findings: The Role Of Mixed Methods Research, Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie, Nancy L. Leech Dec 2004

Enhancing The Interpretation Of Significant Findings: The Role Of Mixed Methods Research, Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie, Nancy L. Leech

The Qualitative Report

The present essay outlines how mixed methods research can be used to enhance the interpretation of significant findings. First, we define what we mean by significance in educational evaluation research. With regard to quantitative-based research, we define the four types of significance: statistical significance, practical significance, clinical significance, and economic significance. With respect to qualitative-based research, we define a significant finding as one that has meaning or representation. Second, we describe limitations of each of these types of significance. Finally, we illustrate how conducting mixed methods analyses can be used to enhance the interpretation of significant findings in both quantitative …


Thermodynamic Analysis Of Separation Systems, Yaşar Demirel Dec 2004

Thermodynamic Analysis Of Separation Systems, Yaşar Demirel

Papers in Thermal Mechanics

Separation systems mainly involve interfacial mass and heat transfer as well as mixing. Distillation is a major separation system by means of heat supplied from a higher temperature level at the reboiler and rejected in the condenser at a lower temperature level. Therefore, it resembles a heat engine producing a separation work with a rather low efficiency. Lost work (energy) in separation systems is due to irreversible processes of heat, mass transfer, and mixing, and is directly related to entropy production according to the Gouy-Stodola principle. In many separation systems of absorption, desorption, extraction, and membrane separation, the major irreversibility …


Genetic Methods Improve Accuracy Of Gender Determination In Beavers, Christen Lenney Williams, Stewart W. Breck, Bruce W. Baker Dec 2004

Genetic Methods Improve Accuracy Of Gender Determination In Beavers, Christen Lenney Williams, Stewart W. Breck, Bruce W. Baker

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Gender identification of sexually monomorphic mammals can be difficult. We used analysis of zinc-finger protein (Zfx and Zfy) DNA regions to determine gender of 96 beavers (Castor canadensis) from 3 areas and used these results to verify gender determined in the field. Gender was correctly determined for 86 (89.6%) beavers. Incorrect assignments were not attributed to errors in any one age or sex class. Although methods that can be used in the field (such as morphological methods) can provide reasonably accurate gender assignments in beavers, the genetic method might be preferred in certain situations.


Pathways To Self-Esteem In Late Adolescence: The Role Of Parent And Peer Attachment, Empathy, And Social Behaviors, Deborah J. Laible, Gustavo Carlo, Scott C. Roesch Dec 2004

Pathways To Self-Esteem In Late Adolescence: The Role Of Parent And Peer Attachment, Empathy, And Social Behaviors, Deborah J. Laible, Gustavo Carlo, Scott C. Roesch

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

The goal of this study was to examine both the direct and indirect relations of parent and peer attachment with self-esteem and to examine the potential mediating roles of empathy and social behavior. 246 college students (Mage = 18.6 years, s.d. = 1.61) completed self-report measures of parent and peer attachment, empathy, social behavior, and self-esteem. Structural equation modeling revealed that parental attachment had mostly direct effects on self-esteem. Among females, the links between peer attachment and self-esteem, however, were entirely mediated by empathy and prosocial behavior. The findings from this study suggest that although close supportive relationships with parents …


台灣牙醫學教育評鑑準則之擬訂, 敏光 郭, 若松 王, 思光 陳, 萬烘 藍 Dec 2004

台灣牙醫學教育評鑑準則之擬訂, 敏光 郭, 若松 王, 思光 陳, 萬烘 藍

Journal of Medical Education

台灣培養出來的牙醫師人力已達先進國家之標準,但對牙醫學教育「品質」方面的檢討,偏重於課程,缺乏整體性的評估,有待進一步的檢討及改革。因此台灣牙醫學教育的評鑑制度及其準則有加以研究之必要。本研究報告是要:l)提議建立台灣牙醫學教育的評鑑制度,確保並提昇國內牙醫學教育水準;2)提出一套適合台灣牙醫學教育使用之評鑑指標,做為國內牙醫師養成教育機構評鑑之用。本計劃曾參與中華牙醫學會與台大牙醫學系所舉辦之牙醫教育研討會,主辦台灣牙醫學教育研討會及台灣牙醫學教育改革之實施座談會。綜合各國之評鑑準則及各次牙醫學教育研討會與座談會,所擬訂之評鑑準則包含下列十二項:牙醫學教育課程概觀、組織架構與行政系統、硬體設施與資源、師資、財務狀況與預算、招生方式、學生事務、課程、臨床教育、研究與學術活動、畢業生的評估、優劣機會及不利因素(SWOT)分析等。與會的牙醫學教育專家一致認為有建立牙醫學教育評鑑制度之必要;對於本計劃所擬訂的評鑑準則認為大致可行。 唯牙醫學教育評鑑委員會之組成及委員會是否具公信力及公權力,是各專家疑慮之處。評鑑委員會對於牙醫教育機構之困難能否加以協助,對於牙醫教育機構之主管當局及直屬犬學有無約束力,是各專家所關切。


Attenuation Of Ultrasonic Waves In Rolled Metals, Liyong Yang, Joseph A. Turner Dec 2004

Attenuation Of Ultrasonic Waves In Rolled Metals, Liyong Yang, Joseph A. Turner

Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience: Faculty Publications

Scattering of ultrasonic waves in polycrystals with texture is studied in this article. The attenuations of the three wave modes are determined as a function of dimensionless frequency and propagation direction, respectively, for given orientation distribution coefficients (ODCs). The calculation is done in the case of a statistically orthorhombic sample made up of cubic crystallites. The wave propagation and scattering model is formulated by the Dyson equation using an anisotropic Green’s function approach.Within the limits of the first-order smoothing approximation, the Dyson equation is solved in the spatial Fourier transform domain. The results presented are shown to be directional dependent, …


Decadal-Scale Changes In West Coast Shelf Internal Tides (The Tides, They Are A Changin'), David A. Jay, Thomas A. Chisholm, A. Krause, K. Leffler Dec 2004

Decadal-Scale Changes In West Coast Shelf Internal Tides (The Tides, They Are A Changin'), David A. Jay, Thomas A. Chisholm, A. Krause, K. Leffler

Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Co-OP (Coastal Ocean Program) Project RISE (River-Influenced Shelf Ecosystems) seeks to understand how primary and secondary productivity are enhanced by large river plumes in upwelling regions, using the Columbia River plume as a case study. Columbia River plume waters are rich in silicate and iron, but relatively depleted in nitrate. Mixing of nitrate-rich upwelled water with the plume is, therefore, important to plume primary production. Large internal tidal currents cause part of the necessary mixing. Accordingly, any long-term changes in these internal tides could impact productivity. Because no decadal-scale current observations are available to evaluate …

Analysis Of Production Control Methods For Semiconductor Research And Development Fabs Using Simulation, Vikram Ramamurthi Dec 2004

Analysis Of Production Control Methods For Semiconductor Research And Development Fabs Using Simulation, Vikram Ramamurthi

Theses

The importance of semiconductor device fabrication has been rising steadily over many years. Integrated circuit technology and innovation depends on successful research and development (R&D). R&D establishes the direction for prevailing technology in electronics and computers. To be a leader in the semiconductor industry, a company must bring technology to the market as soon as its application is deemed feasible. Using suitable production control methods for wafer fabrication in R&D fabs ensures reduction in cycle times and planned inventories, which in turn help to more quickly, transfer the new technology to the production fabs, where products are made on a …


Prayer As A Treatment Modality In Patient Healthcare: Physicians' Spiritual Beliefs And Religious Practices And Their Relationship To Patient Health, D. Ronald Rickerhauser Dec 2004

Prayer As A Treatment Modality In Patient Healthcare: Physicians' Spiritual Beliefs And Religious Practices And Their Relationship To Patient Health, D. Ronald Rickerhauser

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

The intention of this study was to determine whether physicians' spiritual beliefs and the integration of prayer in medical practice are associated with patient health. In this study, 546 physicians from 40 different family practice residency programs in the contiguous United States completed and returned surveys. Regression analyses using these data and patient statistics provided by the clinics were performed. Patient's length of hospital stay and a ratio of clinic patients to hospital patients were used as dependent measures. The results did not show a relationship between physician beliefs, prayer, and patient health. However, there was a significant relationship between …
