Design And Optimization Of Nanostructured Optical Filters, Jeremiah Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Optical filters encompass a vast array of devices and structures for a wide variety of applications. Generally speaking, an optical filter is some structure that applies a designed amplitude and phase transform to an incident signal. Different classes of filters have vastly divergent characteristics, and one of the challenges in the optical design process is identifying the ideal filter for a given application and optimizing it to obtain a specific response.

The Influence Of Medical Education On The Frequency And Type Of Medical Board Discipline Received By Licensed Florida Physicians, Richard Bonnell Iii

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It has been estimated that in the United States, between 44,000 to 98,000 patients succumb to medical errors each year. Due to a shortage of graduates of domestic medical schools, many graduates of foreign medical schools are practicing in the United States.

Differences due to the educational backgrounds of the foreign-schooled physicians may contribute to an increase in medical board disciplining. Furthermore, graduates of medical schools where …

Leadership Skills Development In Theological Seminary: Crucial Factors In Creating Effective Local Church Leadership, Nghia Van Nguyen Jan 2008

Leadership Skills Development In Theological Seminary: Crucial Factors In Creating Effective Local Church Leadership, Nghia Van Nguyen

Theses and Dissertations

Leadership is a challenge for almost every organization. Like everyone else, the church is faced with similar challenges. Being leaders of the local congregation, pastors are the key element in church leadership. Church members are demanding more of their pastors than ever. Many pastors feel ill-prepared for these tasks. The theological seminary has been the primary place to prepare church leaders to do ministry. Previous researchers have stated that there is compelling evidence that many theological seminaries were not appropriately preparing men and women for the job the local congregation expects them to do for the church. The purpose of …

Client Perceptions Of The Most And Least Helpful Aspects Of Couple Therapy, Jessica Nelson Jan 2008

Client Perceptions Of The Most And Least Helpful Aspects Of Couple Therapy, Jessica Nelson

Theses and Dissertations

Couple therapy research has traditionally utilized either quantitative or qualitative methods to examine the mechanisms of change and outcomes in couple therapy. Also, while studies have examined couples' experiences in therapy, few have specifically examined the most and least helpful aspects of therapy according to the couple. The purpose of the present study was to utilize a mixed-methods design to examine couples' written responses about their experiences in therapy. Two hundred ten individual responses were obtained from a sample of 134 couples who sought Traditional Behavioral Couple Therapy (TBCT) or Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) for marital distress as part …

Of specific interest in this dissertation is the Iranian-American population, which has grown substantially in the United States over the last two decades. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-2) is one of the most commonly used assessment tools …
