Impact Of Pregnancy, Delivery, And Infancy Complications On Attention -Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Lindsay T. Fazio Jan 2008

Impact Of Pregnancy, Delivery, And Infancy Complications On Attention -Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Lindsay T. Fazio

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study evaluated whether a history of pregnancy, delivery, and infancy complications (PDICs) predicts the presence or type of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in children. Children with a history of PDICs are thought to be at risk because of the potential damage caused by these complications during critical periods of fetal neurological development. Existing research also suggests that PDICs potentially affects the child's ability to maintain attention and behavior. This study examined archival data from children ( N = 588) between the ages of 5 and 12 seen for evaluation at a university-based ADHD Clinic. Multiple instruments were used …

Mediation Analyses Of Culture, Alexithymia, Masculine Ideology, And Help-Seeking, Ying-Ying Yeh Jan 2008

Mediation Analyses Of Culture, Alexithymia, Masculine Ideology, And Help-Seeking, Ying-Ying Yeh

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study was an examination of whether alexithymia and masculine ideology mediate separately the relationship between culture and help-seeking. To investigate this mediation, I analyzed pre-collected data gathered from a much bigger research project. One hundred and fifty Taiwanese college students and another 150 American college students were recruited for the prior study. Participants were given a demographic questionnaire, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Male Role Norms Inventory, and Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Revised to examine their endorsement of alexithymia, masculine ideology, and attitudes toward help-seeking. Mediation analyses were used to examine the mediation effect of alexithymia and masculine ideology on …

Cognitive Dimensions Usability Assessment Of Textual And Visual Vhdl Environments, George Kontos Jan 2008

Cognitive Dimensions Usability Assessment Of Textual And Visual Vhdl Environments, George Kontos

Theses

Visual programming languages promise to make programming easier with simpler graphical methods, broadening access to computing by lessening the need for would-be users to become proficient with textual programming languages, with their somewhat arcane grammars and methods removed from the problem space of the user. However, after more than forty years of research in the field, visual methods remain in the margins of use and programming remains the bailiwick of people devoted to the endeavor. VPL designers need to understand the mechanisms of usability that pertain to complex systems like programming language environments. Effective research tools for studying usability, and …

A Distributed Public Key Creation System For Ad-Hoc Groups, Brian Padalino Jan 2008

A Distributed Public Key Creation System For Ad-Hoc Groups, Brian Padalino

Theses

Ad-hoc networks are on the forefront of technological advances as more embedded devices allow for wireless communications without necessarily requiring a network infrastructure to connect to. One of the larger problems associated with such ad-hoc networks is the lack of being able to access a PKI to create individual secure sessions for these groups being created. For this project, an implementation generating the public and private keys for an RSA public-key protocol has been created on top of the M2MI middleware developed at RIT. In this implementation, as originally described by Dan Boneh, all parties help contribute to the generation …

Interactive Television: Advancing Television Through Integrated Technology, Stephen Gallo Jan 2008

Interactive Television: Advancing Television Through Integrated Technology, Stephen Gallo

Theses

Television has been struggling to find its position in the evolving world of media. It remains mostly one directional output of content and it needs to fit into a world where people are growing to expect more and more interactivity in their experience. Adding a dense component of interactive options into the television experience could cater to revitalizing this centerpiece of entertainment and sustain its dominant place in our households’ entertainment center. There is a vast array of technology that has arisen that television could easily play off of and integrate into the main experience to revitalize itself. The goal …

The Relationship Between The Cahsee And Quality Of Education For Raza Students, Jessica M. Rodriguez Jan 2008

The Relationship Between The Cahsee And Quality Of Education For Raza Students, Jessica M. Rodriguez

Master's Theses

This thesis addresses the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) and its effects on Raza students. The objective is to understand the relationship between the preparation for the CAHSEE and the preparation of students to become complete learners. This study finds that the emphasis placed on the CAHSEE forced teachers to change their curriculum to focus on the exam, taking away from students' overall quality of education. Intervention courses created to ensure passage of the exam, limit students' exposure to classes as well as on higher order and critical thinking skills. This study also finds that the CAHSEE negatively affects …

English Language & Third Generation Programming Language Pedagogical Practice Analysis, Vincent Falbo Jan 2008

English Language & Third Generation Programming Language Pedagogical Practice Analysis, Vincent Falbo

Theses

In an effort to provide better computer programming instruction to more students at an introductory level, pedagogical methods could be improved using a paradigm of instruction based on the same strategies used to teach students spoken languages. Although many different methodologies of instruction have been explored in the past, this document identifies relationships between spoken languages and computer languages that encourage the exploration of the best practices of teaching English Language Arts so that they could be applied to computer programming instruction. Those with backgrounds in mathematics and science initially completed programming tasks. Much literature about the problem solving aspects …

The Roles Of Standardization, Certification And Assurance Services In Global Commerce, Margaret M. Blair, Cynthia A. Williams, Li-Wen Lin Jan 2008

The Roles Of Standardization, Certification And Assurance Services In Global Commerce, Margaret M. Blair, Cynthia A. Williams, Li-Wen Lin

All Faculty Publications

In this article we examine the rapid emergence and expansion of standardized product and process frameworks and a private-sector compliance and enforcement infrastructure that we believe may increasingly be providing a substitute for public and legal regulatory infrastructure in global commerce. This infrastructure is provided by a proliferation of performance codes and standards, many of which define acceptable social and environmental behavior, and a rapidly-growing number of privately-trained and authorized inspectors and certifiers that we call the third-party assurance industry. We offer reasons for this development, evidence of its scope and scale, and then describe the phenomenon in more detail …

Proportionate Securities Regulation: The Potential For Scaled Treatment Of Junior Issuers, Janis P. Sarra Jan 2008

Proportionate Securities Regulation: The Potential For Scaled Treatment Of Junior Issuers, Janis P. Sarra

All Faculty Publications

Particular features of Canada’s capital market inform our consideration of moving towards a more proportionate regulatory system. Specifically, Canada has a large number of small public companies; its market cap is concentrated largely in four provinces; it has a particular focus on mining, resources and technology; and a significant number of issuers are cross-listed on US exchanges. Canadian securities regulators have already recognized some measure of proportionate regulation in their national instruments, based on the type of listing. The paper suggests that a number of overriding principles or considerations should be taken into account in respect of a further move …
