Identification Of Chlorinated Solvent Sources In The Indoor Air Of Private Residences Around Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Andrew Jensen Hall Dec 2008

Identification Of Chlorinated Solvent Sources In The Indoor Air Of Private Residences Around Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Andrew Jensen Hall

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Volatile chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,2 dichloroethane (1,2 DCA), and perchloroethylene (PCE) have been identified in the indoor air of residences located near Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah. These vapors can originate from either volatilization of contaminates from shallow contaminated groundwater and transport into residences or from sources within the residence. The focus of the thesis was the development of a testing strategy for determining sources of TCE, 1,2 DCA, and PCE in the indoor air of residences near Hill AFB.

Eight residences were selected for this study by Hill AFB based on prior detections of TCE, …


藉由線上網路與Phs系統提昇臨床醫學教育教與學雙向回饋, 嘉德 林, 錫金 吳, 戊忠 沈, 世傑 廖, 崇豪 蔡, 正介 林 Dec 2008

藉由線上網路與Phs系統提昇臨床醫學教育教與學雙向回饋, 嘉德 林, 錫金 吳, 戊忠 沈, 世傑 廖, 崇豪 蔡, 正介 林

Journal of Medical Education

目的:回饋是醫學教育的核心,也是臨床教師的必備技能。除了自我評量外,學生也必須向其帶領學習的師長反應其學習狀況。因此不論實習醫學生或住院醫師都期待能夠自教師獲得學習的回饋以改進其臨床表現,這也是臨床教師的基本責任。然而傳統回饋方式可能相當耗時,而且在臨床訓練計劃的安排上並不適當。根據2004年台灣醫學教育報告,部份醫學中心每學期只以問卷進行一次回饋調查,這樣回饋次數不足的現象,可能會造成訓練過程或結果出現缺陷,若能提昇教與學回饋的機制,將有助於國內醫學教育的改革與進步。方法:中國醫藥大學附設醫院嘗試使用線上網路系統結合目前醫院廣泛使用的個人手持式電話系統(Personal Handy-phone System, PHS),來對實習醫學生及住院醫師的學習歷程進行即時線上回饋,藉以改善臨床醫學教育的雙向回饋。負責醫學教育的行政人員也可以透過此系統即時掌握學生的學習狀況及科部的教學情形。結論:整合網際網路及無線傳呼系統,可以促進臨床教師進行回饋教學,使臨床醫學教育得以持續品質改善。

On The Many Flavors Of Capitalism Or Reflections On Schumpeter's Ghost, John Henry Schlegel Dec 2008

On The Many Flavors Of Capitalism Or Reflections On Schumpeter's Ghost, John Henry Schlegel

Buffalo Law Review

Most legal scholars treat capitalism as a genus with one species. The appearance of several books that argue to the contrary suggests that it is sensible to revisit this assumption. Discussion begins by considering the constructed nature of markets, the importance of market systems, and the role of financings as the factor distinguishing capitalism from other forms of a market economy. Thereafter, four articulations of the varieties of capitalism are reviewed: the classic Marxist one, one by a political economist, another by a pair of comparative political scientists, and third by a trio of economists. This review leads to a …

Factors That Influence The Association Between Adult Attachment And Marital Satisfaction, Daniel Leroy Hatch Dec 2008

Factors That Influence The Association Between Adult Attachment And Marital Satisfaction, Daniel Leroy Hatch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Adult attachment theory offers a promising conceptual framework for understanding the psychological and contextual factors that contribute to marital satisfaction. A consistent association has been found between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. The current study examined several mediating mechanisms that may explain the relationship between adult attachment dimensions and marital satisfaction. Specifically, relationship expectations, four types of responses to accommodative dilemmas (exit, neglect, voice, and loyalty), and three forms of empathy (empathic concern, perspective taking, empathic personal distress) were hypothesized to mediate the relationship between adult attachment and marital satisfaction.

Self-report data were collected from both partners of 193 …


A Novel Authentication And Validation Mechanism For Analyzing Syslogs Forensically, Steena D.S. Monteiro Dec 2008

A Novel Authentication And Validation Mechanism For Analyzing Syslogs Forensically, Steena D.S. Monteiro

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This research proposes a novel technique for authenticating and validating syslogs for forensic analysis. This technique uses a modification of the Needham Schroeder protocol, which uses nonces (numbers used only once) and public keys. Syslogs, which were developed from an event-logging perspective and not from an evidence-sustaining one, are system treasure maps that chart out and pinpoint attacks and attack attempts. Over the past few years, research on securing syslogs has yielded enhanced syslog protocols that focus on tamper prevention and detection. However, many of these protocols, though efficient from a security perspective, are inadequate when forensics comes into play. …
