Female Athletic Trainers In Professional Male Sports, Erica Chung

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This study measured the opinions of head and assistant athletic trainers employed by the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, Major League Soccer, and Major League Baseball, which also included the affiliated minor league and independent professional teams in the spring of 2006 regarding potential barriers female athletic trainers face in order to work with professional male sports teams. A survey was distributed to measure the opinions of 373 full-time athletic trainers with a return rate of 30.6%. The majority of those that took the survey agreed that female athletic trainers were competent and skilled but the …

Maximizing Resource Utilization By Slicing Of Superscalar Architecture, Shruti Ravikant Patil

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Superscalar architectural techniques increase instruction throughput from one instruction per cycle to more than one instruction per cycle. Modern processors make use of several processing resources to achieve this kind of throughput. Control units perform various functions to minimize stalls and to ensure a continuous feed of instructions to execution units. It is vital to ensure that instructions ready for execution do not encounter a bottleneck in the execution stage; This thesis work proposes a dynamic scheme to increase efficiency of execution stage by a methodology called block slicing. Implementing this concept in a wide, superscalar pipelined architecture introduces minimal …

Effect Of Low Level Laser Therapy On Migration Of Human Skin Cells Across A Standardized Wound, Kathleen Orzechowski

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that different dosages of low level laser therapy have on human skin cell migration. Normal newborn foreskin fibroblasts were seeded into a four well chamber microscope slide. Cellular monolayers were inflicted with three standardized wounds per well. Following the wounding of cells, each well received low level laser therapy once from a 635 nm laser at one of four treatment dosages (0.0 J/cm 2, 1.0 J/cm2, 1.5 J/cm2, 2.0 J/cm 2) with a power output of 11.5 mW. Digital images were recorded immediately following wounding, and every hour thereafter for …

Internet Utilization As A Medium For Training Employees In Multi-Unit Restaurants, Dipendra Singh

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Employee turnovers costs for multi-unit restaurant companies amount to millions of dollars each year. A large amount is spent on training new employees, so that the service and product standards can be maintained throughout the outlets. However, very little attention is being paid to the Internet as an efficient and cost effective medium for training employees; The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between multi-unit restaurant companies and their current and perceived future Internet usage for employee training. Multi-unit restaurant companies with different annual revenues were categorized and examined for the extent of Internet usage in training; …

A Comparative Study Of Personality Traits Between Video Poker And Traditional Pull/Push Machines Players, Jungjin Hwang

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Since the first spinning-reel slot machine was invented in 1895 by a German-born mechanic and installed in San Francisco taverns (Span 2003), machine games have enjoyed popularity among gamblers. Two main types of slot machines dominate the market: video poker machines, and the more traditional pull/push machines. Previous research suggests that video poker players and pull/push slot gamblers have different motivations for playing. In our study we looked at whether or not video poker and slot players have different personality traits as measured through Cattell's 16 Personality Factors. The findings showed that video poker players presented a more dominant personality …

The Diffusion Of Satellite Radio: A Study Of Earlier Adopters And Non-Adopters, Jasmine S Crighton

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This study examined the current and potential audience of satellite radio by using Roger's diffusion of innovations theory as a theoretical framework (Rogers, 1962, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2003). Survey research was conducted in June of 2006 to discover adopters' and non-adopters' perceptions of satellite radio and competing technologies, their socioeconomic characteristics, demographics, and mass media use; Results of the survey indicated that the average earlier adopters of satellite radio are nearly 32 years of age, earned an average gross annual income of {dollar}40,000 to {dollar}50,000, and had more formal education than non-subscribers. The average non-adopter of satellite radio was nearly …

Computational Modeling Of Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolysis Cell For Hydrogen Production, Shanthi P Katukota

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Numerical simulations of electrochemical process for hydrogen production were performed for the purpose of examining the phenomena occurring within the proton exchange membrane (PEM) water splitting cell. A steady-state isothermal two dimensional model of the cell is developed. Finite element method was used to solve the multi-component transport model coupled with flow in porous medium, charge balance and electrochemical kinetics; Parametric studies were performed based on appropriate mass balances, transport, and electrochemical kinetics applied to the cell. It is observed that, as the water on the anode side flows from the inlet to the outlet, the mass fraction of oxygen …

Post-Implant Dosimetry Analysis Of Brachytherapy Patients Using Pre And Post-Implant Mri, Deana Lee Tuttle

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Post-implant dosimetry analysis is a critical step in brachytherapy for identifying the quality of the implant based on seed localization in relation to the volume of the prostate. However, the accuracy of post-implant dosimetry analysis is dependent on accurate delineation of the prostate from surrounding tissue in post-implant CT images. Research has shown that adequately delineate the prostate from surrounding tissue in CT images is difficult, resulting in significant variation between the dose received by the prostate and the dose prescribed by the physician. This research compared prostate volumes delineated from pre-implant US, post-implant CT, and pre and post-implant MR …

Amnesty As A Tool Of Conflict Resolution: A Comparative Assessment, Nabil Ouassini

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Drawing upon various theoretical approaches and the analysis of case studies, the current study explores the use of amnesty as a way of dealing with civil strife in national and international conflicts. Conflicts in different regions in the world are examined to illustrate the use of amnesty for restorative purposes, but primary attention will focus on how Arab countries are using amnesty in the current war on terror. By examining amnesty in both general and specific cases, the present study hopes to shed light on the effectiveness of amnesty as a restorative principle in addition to the manifest and latent …
