Feast And Famine: A Statewide Science Serial Collection Assessment Inillinois, Tina E. Chrzastowski, Chew Chiat Naun, Michael Norman, Karen Schmidt

Staff publications, research, and presentations

In 2004, a group of Illinois librarians was awarded a research grant to assess the state of Illinois’ science serial collection. This collection assessment focused on academic libraries in the state, specifically those participating in the Consortium of Academic Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI), but also including another 10 academic libraries in the state that do not belong to the consortium. Current serial subscription data were collected through both automated and manual means and the analysis was conducted in conjunction with Ulrich’s Serials Analysis System. Due to cataloging limitations and issues surrounding different ISSNs for print and electronic formats, the …

Effects Of Voluntary Breathing On Force Responses To Electrical Stimulation (Es) Of Finger Extensors : A Pilot Study, Shang Li, W. H. Park, Elizabeth Ikeda, Charles Leonard

Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science Faculty Publications

Voluntary breathing can influence motor functions of non-respiratory skeletal muscles, e.g., finger muscles. The influence was proposed to be mediated by the ventilation-associated enhancement on corticospinal excitability of the finger muscles, possibly including spinal mechanisms. Force responses to electrical stimulation include spinal mechanisms. The purpose was to investigate the potential spinal mechanism mediating the voluntary breathing effects on responses of finger extension forces to electrical stimulation. A single-pulse electrical stimulation of the same intensity was delivered to the extensor digitorum communis (EDC) during voluntary breathing (forced inspiration, IN and force expiration, OUT) and normal breathing (Norm) across various submaximal levels …

The Commandeerer In Chief, Jason Mazzone

Notre Dame Law Review

As Hurricane Katrina demonstrated, federalism can impede the government's ability to plan for and respond to emergencies. Many emergencies transcend federalist divisions of power and responsibility, rendering unclear which level of government should respond. In addition, while emergencies may require a coordinated response by heal, state, and national government, getting different levels of government to work together in times of crises is difficult. Further, even when states and localities call for outside assistance, they tend to resist undue federal interference in their affairs;a national government that lacks experience working with local actors on the ground can find it difficult to …

A Comparison Of Procedures For The Analysis Of Multivariate Repeated Measurements, Lisa M. Lix, Anita M. Lloyd

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Three procedures for analyzing within-subjects effects in multivariate repeated measures designs are compared when group covariances are heterogeneous: the multiple regression model (MRM) with a structured covariance, Johansen’s (1980) procedure, and the multivariate Brown and Forsythe (1974) procedure. A preliminary likelihood ratio test of a Kronecker product covariance structure is sensitive to sample size and derivational assumption violations. Error rates of the procedures are generally well-controlled except when the distribution is skewed. The MRM procedure displayed few power advantages over the other procedures.

The Non-Parametric Difference Score: A Workable Solution For Analyzing Two-Wave Change When The Measures Themselves Change Across Waves, Jennifer E. V. Lloyd, Bruno D. Zumbo

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The non-parametric difference score is introduced. It is a workable solution to the problem of analyzing change over two waves (i.e., a pretest-posttest design) when the measures themselves vary over time. An example highlighting the solution’s implementation is provided, as is a discussion of the solution’s assumptions, strengths, and limitations.

Performance Of Some Correlation Coefficients When Applied To Zero-Clustered Data, L. W. Huson

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Zero-clustered data occur widely in medical research and are characterised by the presence of a group of observations of value zero in a distribution of otherwise continuous non-negative responses. A simulation study was conducted to investigate the properties of a number of correlation coefficients applied to samples of zero-clustered data.

Covariate Dependent Markov Models For Analysis Of Repeated Binary Outcomes, M.A. Islam, R.I. Chowdhury, K.P. Singh

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

The covariate dependence in a higher order Markov models is examined. First order Markov models with covariate dependence are discussed and are generalized for higher order. A simple alternative is also proposed. The estimation procedure is discussed for higher order with a number of covariates. The proposed model takes into account the past transitions. Transitions are fitted and are tested in order to examine their influence on the most recent transitions. Applications are illustrated using maternal morbidity during pregnancy. The binary outcome at each visit during pregnancy is observed for each subject and then the covariate dependent Markov models are …

Is The Right "Right" About God? An Examination Of The Theology Of The Religious Right In Modern Day Politics, Kiku Huckle

Seminary Masters Theses

This study examines the Evangelical critique of the Religious Right for veracity, and the position of the Right is then tested for theological soundness. The Evangelical Left is represented by Sojourners Magazine and associates due to its long-lasting position as one of (if not the) main liberal Christian organizations during the two decades reviewed here. The Christian Coalition was chosen to represent the Religious Right during the 1990's as that was its time of great visibility and influence. The Family Research Council stands for the Right in this decade due to its current prominence. The Theological assessment is based upon …

Family Affairs Newsletter 2007-11-01, Jean Vermette

Family Affairs newsletter (2004-2016)

FAMILY AFFAIRS was a free, twice-a-month, social activities newsletter for the GLBTQI (gay/lesbian/bisexual/trans/queer/intersex) community, sent out around the 1st and 15th of each month. It covered the State of Maine only. The list was begun and maintained for many years by Jean Vermette in Bangor, and later operated by Zack Paakkonen of Portland. Over the years it evolved from a social activities newsletter into a business directory, classified ad service, and community bulletin board.
