Post-Implant Dosimetry Analysis Of Brachytherapy Patients Using Pre And Post-Implant Mri, Deana Lee Tuttle Jan 2006

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 Jan 2006

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 …


Improved Techniques For Estimation Of Paved Road Pm(10) Emissions, Geisa Bittencourt Rodrigues Jan 2006

Improved Techniques For Estimation Of Paved Road Pm(10) Emissions, Geisa Bittencourt Rodrigues

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

AP-42 Emission Factors were analyzed for trends over time and dependence on roadway classification and improvements. Local roads presented a significant decrease in Emission Factor over time for pooled data. Local road Emission Factors were significantly higher than Collector and Minor Arterial Emission Factors for pooled data. Differences in AP-42 Emission Factor between the Collectors and Minor arterials were not statistically significant; however the differences between Local and either Collector or Minor arterials were statistically significant. Individual analysis of each road show that two Locals and two Minor arterials (among 30 different sites) presented a significant decrease with time. Year …


Volcanology And Petrogenesis Of The Navajo Lake Volcanic Field, Shara L Stowell Jan 2006

Volcanology And Petrogenesis Of The Navajo Lake Volcanic Field, Shara L Stowell

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The Navajo Lake volcanic field is an ideal natural laboratory for volcanological and geochemical studies. This field extends from Navajo Lake, east of Cedar City, Utah to Panguitch Lake, Utah and lies in the Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range Transition Zone between the Hurricane and Sevier faults. The volcanic field is characterized by numerous basalt flows that erupted from more than 28 cinder cones. Many of the cones are aligned in a SE-NW direction. Three stages of basalt flows are recognized by mineralogy and morphology. Additionally, trachy-andesite occurs in the Panguitch Lake area. Many of the flows appear to …


A Decision Support Tool To Identify Countermeasures For Pedestrian Safety, Madhuri Uddaraju Jan 2006

A Decision Support Tool To Identify Countermeasures For Pedestrian Safety, Madhuri Uddaraju

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Enhancing pedestrian safety and providing a pedestrian-friendly environment are key goals for urban planning and public works organizations. The primary tasks to be accomplished in enhancing pedestrian safety include identifying high pedestrian risk locations and implementing appropriate countermeasures to minimize the risks. The selection of such countermeasures to address specific pedestrian safety concerns should be done based on factors that influence the risks. A methodology to identify suitable countermeasures for various scenarios is developed in this research. The factors considered for selection are crash contributing factors, roadway functional class, posted speed limits, type of location (intersection/non-intersection), vulnerable age groups of …

Character Strengths And Psychological Well-Being As Predictors Of Life Satisfaction Among Multicultural Populations, Alejandro Patricio Yanez

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to examine if facets of character strengths and psychological well being differentially predicted life satisfaction among four racial groups in a sample of 572 university students. Participants completed assessment instruments measuring character strengths, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction. Regarding character strengths, the following were predictive of life satisfaction: Caucasians, intellectual strengths and emotional strengths; African Americans and Hispanic Americans, theological strengths; and Asian Americans, theological strengths, emotional strengths, and intellectual strengths. Regarding psychological well-being, the following were predictive of life satisfaction: Caucasians, self-acceptance and environmental mastery; African Americans, none of the domains; Hispanic Americans, …


Becoming Phonemically Aware: A Study On The Role Of Assistance In Language Learning, Carey W Roybal-Benson Jan 2006

Becoming Phonemically Aware: A Study On The Role Of Assistance In Language Learning, Carey W Roybal-Benson

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This was a Sociocultural study of second language learning involving Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (Vygotsky, 1978; & Newman and Holzman, 1993), phonemic awareness (Adams, 1990, Lieberman & Shankweiler, 1985), and dynamic assessment (Campione and Brown, 1987; Feuerstein, 1979; and Budoff, 1987). This inquiry was aimed at understanding how assistance functions in second language learning, uncovering student abilities in collaboration through an L2 dynamic assessment of phonemic awareness, and determining what information is available with an L2 dynamic assessment of phonemic awareness. This investigation illuminated teacher-to-student and student-to-student assistance in assessing/learning a second language during a Dynamic Assessment of L2 …
