Fostering Change In Organizational Culture Using A Critical Ethnographic Approach, Rosemary A. Brander, Margo Patterson, Yolande E. Chan Nov 2012

Fostering Change In Organizational Culture Using A Critical Ethnographic Approach, Rosemary A. Brander, Margo Patterson, Yolande E. Chan

The Qualitative Report

Healthcare organizations are striving to meet legislated and public expectations to include patients as equal partners in their care, and research is needed to guide successful implementation and outcomes. The current research examined the meaning of customer service as related to the culture of care relationships within a Canadian hospital in southeastern Ontario. The goals were to better understand these expectations, develop shared meanings and influence cultural change from the perspective of the organization’s employees about their interactions with patients, families and work colleagues, and to generate ideas and groundswell for change. An ethnographic approach within the critical research paradigm …


Hispid Pocket Mice In Tallgrass Prairie: Abundance, Seasonal Activity, Habitat Association, And Individual Attributes, Glennis A. Kaufman, Dawn M. Kaufman, Donald W. Kaufman Nov 2012

Hispid Pocket Mice In Tallgrass Prairie: Abundance, Seasonal Activity, Habitat Association, And Individual Attributes, Glennis A. Kaufman, Dawn M. Kaufman, Donald W. Kaufman

Western North American Naturalist

Hispid pocket mice (Chaetodipus hispidus) are found from the grasslands of the Great Plains to the deserts of the southwestern United States, but the natural history and ecology of this species have not been described in native tallgrass prairie at the eastern edge of its range. We initiated an ongoing long-term study of small mammals on Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas (a Long-Term Ecological Research [LTER] site), in autumn 1981. Our sampling scheme for 14 LTER sites was a 20-station trapline; small mammals were sampled in autumn and spring for 30 years and in summer for a shorter …


Taxonomic Clarification Of Lupinus Oreganus And Lupinus Biddlei In The Pacific Northwest, Usa, Paul M. Severns, Stephen C. Meyers, Tri Tran Nov 2012

Taxonomic Clarification Of Lupinus Oreganus And Lupinus Biddlei In The Pacific Northwest, Usa, Paul M. Severns, Stephen C. Meyers, Tri Tran

Western North American Naturalist

Through a phylogenetic study using LEGCYC1A nucleotide sequences and a survey of historical botanical literature, we propose clarifications in the nomenclature of Lupinus oreganus and Lupinus biddlei. The former taxon has been incorrectly classified asLupinus sulphureus ssp. kincaidii and recently as L. oreganus var. kincaidii. The latter has recently been incorrectly delimited as L. oreganus var. oreganus.


Se proponen aclaraciones en la nomenclatura de Lupinus oreganus y Lupinus biddlei a través de un estudio filogenético que utiliza secuencias nucleótidas de LEGCYC1A y una revisión de literatura botánica histórica. El primer taxón mencionado se ha clasificado incorrectamente como Lupinus sulphureus …

The Economics Of Health And Vitamin Consumption, Christiane Schroeter, Sven Anders, Andrea Carlson Nov 2012

The Economics Of Health And Vitamin Consumption, Christiane Schroeter, Sven Anders, Andrea Carlson

Agribusiness

We estimate the impact of vitamin supplement intake, lifestyle, health indicators, food culture, and demographics on diet quality outcomes as measured by the Healthy Eating Index–2005 (HEI). Our data consists of U.S. adults who participated in the 2003–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Alternative instrumental variable estimators explicitly address issues of endogeneity and complex sample design. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that diet quality is strongly interrelated with food culture. We suggest that vitamin consumption serves as another marker for healthy eating. This finding emphasizes the need to employ economic modeling when developing public policy to reduce obesity.

Molecular Evolution And Phylogenetics Of Rodent Malaria Parasites, Ricardo S. Ramiro, Sarah E. Reece, Darren J. Obbard Nov 2012

Molecular Evolution And Phylogenetics Of Rodent Malaria Parasites, Ricardo S. Ramiro, Sarah E. Reece, Darren J. Obbard

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Library Materials

Background: Over the last 6 decades, rodent Plasmodium species have become key model systems for understanding the basic biology of malaria parasites. Cell and molecular parasitology have made much progress in identifying genes underpinning interactions between malaria parasites, hosts, and vectors. However, little attention has been paid to the evolutionary genetics of parasites, which provides context for identifying potential therapeutic targets and for understanding the selective forces shaping parasites in natural populations. Additionally, understanding the relationships between species, subspecies, and strains, is necessary to maximize the utility of rodent malaria parasites as medically important infectious disease models, and for …


The Probability Distribution Of The Sum Of Several Dice: Slot Applications, Ashok K. Singh, Rohan J. Dalpatadu, Anthony F. Lucas Nov 2012

The Probability Distribution Of The Sum Of Several Dice: Slot Applications, Ashok K. Singh, Rohan J. Dalpatadu, Anthony F. Lucas

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

The probability distribution of the sum of two fair dice is used to calculate the house advantage of various bets in craps, and is readily available in probability and statistics books and gaming literature. The probability distribution of the sum of A: dice (for k >= 3) is derived in this paper using the method of moment generating function. A recursion formula for deriving the probability distribution of the sum of k dice (for k >= 3) from the probability distribution of the stun of k-1 dice is also given. There are no gaming books or journal articles that demonstrate …


Estimating The Indirect Effect Of Sports Books On Other In-House Gaming Volumes, Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh Nov 2012

Estimating The Indirect Effect Of Sports Books On Other In-House Gaming Volumes, Brett L.L. Abarbanel, Anthony F. Lucas, Ashok K. Singh

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Using data from a repeater market hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, the relationship between sports book and slot machine revenues is examined. Daily sports book write and daily slot handle are compared over a 250 day period. Though many industry leaders theorize that sports book gamblers also wager in slot banks, the results of this Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) analysis fail to demonstrate a statistically significant relationship between sports book write and slot coin-in at the 0.05 alpha cutoff. This study advances literature currently available by establishing the lack of such a relationship and disputing the generally accepted assumption …


Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam Nov 2012

Frontline Employees’ Informal Learning And Customer Relationship Skills In Macao Casinos: An Empirical Study, Carlos S. Lam

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This study uses qualitative methods to better understand how the informal learning of frontline employees influenced their customer relationship skills in dealing with patrons at gaming tables, in the hope of achieving positive customer experiences in a competitive environment in Macao. As casino operators need to get their employees to work after limited formal training, they might find that their emphasis on formal training might be insufficient to provide patrons with customized service in Macao. In this context, the concept of informal learning, which is determined and directed by learners themselves to further improve what they have learned from their …


The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander Nov 2012

The Effect Of Online Gaming On Commercial Casino Revenue, Kahlil S. Philander

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

This study estimates the effect of the online gaming industry on the commercial casino gaming industry. The findings from this study suggest that during the pre-UIGEA period, online gaming was a moderate substitute good for brick and mortar gaming in the U.S. During this early period in the online gaming market, which was characterized by loose regulation and relatively easy access, online gaming revenue is estimated to have cannibalized commercial casino revenue at a rate of 27 to 30 cents on the dollar. A discussion of this finding’s relevance to the current gaming market and the related policy considerations is …

The Evf Model: A Novel Framework For Understanding Gambling And, By Extension, Poker, Arthur S. Reber Nov 2012

The Evf Model: A Novel Framework For Understanding Gambling And, By Extension, Poker, Arthur S. Reber

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

There are several senses in which the term gambling is used. All have liabilities, problems that have muddied the waters in scientific research, generated conflicting legal decisions, compromised debates over ethical and moral issues, and have led to uneven legislation. Here, a novel framework for the term is offered, based on two continuous variables: a) the Expected Value (EV) of any arbitrary game and, b) the inherent Flexibility (F) of that game. This EVF model produces a classification system for all the enterprises that can or have been called gambling. It is one that allows for more measured decisions to …


Pennsylvania Casinos’ Cannibalization Of Regional Gambling Revenues, Simon Condliffe Nov 2012

Pennsylvania Casinos’ Cannibalization Of Regional Gambling Revenues, Simon Condliffe

UNLV Gaming Research & Review Journal

Gambling opportunities are expanding rapidly in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic area. Fifteen gambling venues have opened since 1996. The introduction of these venues has the potential to shift the balance of gambling activity away from New Jersey, which had enjoyed a monopoly position in the area for decades. Delaware and, more recently, Pennsylvania have entered the marketplace, raising the question of whether aggregate gambling activity has increased in the area, and whether all states have benefited. Contrary to previous research, a multivariate analysis reveals that aggregate gambling revenue among the three states has not increased with the introduction of Pennsylvania gambling …
