Reporting And Interpretation In Genome-Wide Association Studies, Jon Wakefield Jul 2007

Reporting And Interpretation In Genome-Wide Association Studies, Jon Wakefield

UW Biostatistics Working Paper Series

In the context of genome-wide association studies we critique a number of methods that have been suggested for flagging associations for further investigation. The p-value is by far the most commonly used measure, but requires careful calibration when the a priori probability of an association is small, and discards information by not considering the power associated with each test. The q-value is a frequentist method by which the false discovery rate (FDR) may be controlled. We advocate the use of the Bayes factor as a summary of the information in the data with respect to the comparison of the null …

The Development Of A Literacy Curriculum For Adult Liberian Refugees, Kristen Marie Kohler Jul 2007

The Development Of A Literacy Curriculum For Adult Liberian Refugees, Kristen Marie Kohler

Theses and Dissertations

From 2003 to 2006, Tucson, Arizona became the new home of many Liberian refugees. Because of civil war in their homeland and ensuing years spent in refugee camps, these refugees had not had many opportunities for literacy development. Tucson had several literacy and ESL programs available; however, none of these programs was meeting the Liberians' particular needs. For my project, I designed and implemented a literacy curriculum for the Liberian refugees in Tucson. In preparation for developing my curriculum, I not only took coursework but also thoroughly reviewed the literature on literacy learning and instruction for first language learners, second …


The Media Production Experience: A Phenomenological Study Of Student Media Production In A Secondary Education Environment, Brian N. Saxton Jul 2007

The Media Production Experience: A Phenomenological Study Of Student Media Production In A Secondary Education Environment, Brian N. Saxton

Theses and Dissertations

Many media education researchers have pointed out the benefits of incorporating a production element into a media literacy program. In fact, the simple use of the word “literacy" alludes to both critical analysis of (“reading") media and creative expression through (“writing") media. However, many of those same researchers have found that there are serious difficulties with student media production from a practical standpoint. The lack of equipment, the lack of class time, poor educator training, and the possibility that students may produce school-inappropriate or offensive texts create doubts about whether or not the effort is worth the reward. This qualitative, …

Nation Building: Bede’S Historia Ecclesiastica And The Use Of Old Testament Tradition, Greg Laing Jul 2007

Nation Building: Bede’S Historia Ecclesiastica And The Use Of Old Testament Tradition, Greg Laing

Faculty Research and Publications

The paper addresses how Bede's history regarding the use of Roman walls is influenced by his work as a biblical exegete. The major contention is that Bede uses the Old Testament religious tradition of Nehemiah and Ezra, regarding the rebuilding of Jerusalem's fortifications, as a template for his comments regarding British and Anglo-Saxon defences in the Historia Ecclesiastica. Through an examination of Bede's exegetical work In Esdram et Nehemiam the military passages of the Historia Ecclesiastica are given even greater religious significance. This understanding of the history links Bede's comments regarding the decline of British military strength more closely …

Sixty-two preschool children and his or her parent or guardian participated in this study of: 1) The relationship between parenting style and pre-literacy readiness of Black children enrolled in Head Start programs; 2) The relationship between parents’ educational expectations of Black children enrolled in Head Start programs and preliteracy readiness; 3) The relationship between home-based involvement of Black parents and levels of pre-literacy readiness of their children enrolled in Head Start programs; and 4) The relationship between the predictor …


The Impact Of Vocal Function Exercises On Normal Voice Production, Karen Hart Thomas Jul 2007

The Impact Of Vocal Function Exercises On Normal Voice Production, Karen Hart Thomas

Theses and Dissertations

This study attempted to replicate and expand previously published research in order to increase our understanding of how Vocal Function Exercises (VFE) might improve vocal function in normal voices. Measures were made to reflect potential post-treatment changes in acoustic and aerodynamic variables, including a measure of vocal efficiency. The participants of the study included 35 adults with normal voices. Each completed a series of speech tasks (sustained vowels, maximum phonation time, reading of a standardized passage, and repetition of syllable strings) before and after a four-week treatment period. Testing of pre- and post-treatment data revealed no clear improvement in acoustic …

Structure And Mechanism Of The Genomically Encoded Fosfomycin Resistance Protein, Fosx, From Listeria Monocytogenes, Kerry L. Fillgrove, Svetlana Pakhomova, Matthew R. Schaab, Marcia E. Newcomer, Richard N. Armstrong Jul 2007

Structure And Mechanism Of The Genomically Encoded Fosfomycin Resistance Protein, Fosx, From Listeria Monocytogenes, Kerry L. Fillgrove, Svetlana Pakhomova, Matthew R. Schaab, Marcia E. Newcomer, Richard N. Armstrong

Faculty Publications

The fosfomycin resistance protein, FosX, catalyzes the hydration of the antibiotic fosfomycin, (1R,25)-epoxypropylphosphonic acid. Genes encoding the enzyme are found in several pathogenic microorganisms. The structure and mechanism of action of the genomically encoded FosX enzyme from Listeria monocytogenes (FosXLMATCC) obtained from the American Type Culture Collection are reported. The gene harbors 31 point mutations, and as a consequence, the protein differs in 10 amino acid residues from the previously reported FosX encoded in the genome of the EGD strain of L. monocytogenes (FosXLMEGD). The FosXLMATCC enzyme is shown to catalyze the addition of water to the C1 position of …

Narrative Skills In Children With Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus, Melissa Ann Halliday Jul 2007

Narrative Skills In Children With Spina Bifida And Hydrocephalus, Melissa Ann Halliday

Theses and Dissertations

This study examined how 22 children with spina bifida and hydrocephalus (SBH) and 22 matched control children with the same vocabulary age (VA) performed on story retelling and story generation tasks. The children were asked to retell two stories of different lengths (Stein and Glenn's Melvin, the Skinny Mouse and The Tiger's Whisker) and generate two stories from different stimuli (wordless picture book and verbal story starter). Analyses were conducted in terms of global narrative organization (story structure), local connection of ideas (cohesion), and productivity (number of words and utterances). Two-way ANOVAs were conducted to analyze how the stories and …

Comparison Of Eight Prosthetic Aortic Valves In A Cadaver Model, Benjamin A. Youdelman, Hitoshi Hirose, Harsh Jain, J. Yasha Kresh, John W.C. Entwhistle Iii, Andrew S. Wechsler

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

OBJECTIVES: Proper valve selection is critical to ensure appropriate valve replacement for patients, because implantation of a small valve might place the patient at risk for persistent gradients. Labeled valve size is not the same as millimeter measure of prosthetic valve diameters or the annulus into which it will fit. Studies that use the labeled valve size in lieu of actual measured diameter in millimeters to compare different valves might be misleading. Using human cadaver hearts, we sized the aortic annulus with 8 commonly used prosthetic aortic valve sizers and compared the valves using geometric orifice area. This novel method …


A Methodology For The Assessment Of The Behavior And Performance Of Artificial Agents, Jessica Ryan Jul 2007

A Methodology For The Assessment Of The Behavior And Performance Of Artificial Agents, Jessica Ryan

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Computer games are becoming more popular for both entertainment and educational applications. The growth of this technology and its realm of use creates a new demand for artificial intelligence (AI) systems: as AI becomes more prevalent, it becomes crucial for it to have a natural, human feel to it in order to best support its application. Consequently, the need for a reliable means of testing and comparing the behavioral development of the artificial intelligence used within game applications becomes important. Turings test has been the staple in evaluating the 'intelligence' of artificial agents in applications ranging from testing chatterbots to …
