Background: Since its inception, Medicare Part D requires beneficiaries to choose from a myriad of insurance plans in order to receive prescription drug coverage. Moreover, each year beneficiaries are confronted with plan cancellations, new plan offerings, changes in existing plan formularies and cost-sharing structure. Objective: This study prospectively examined the relationship between stand-alone prescription drug plan (PDP) costs, subsidy status, and the number of plans offered in California from 2009-2012. Methods: Forty-one community outreach events were held throughout Central/Northern California during the Medicare Part D annual election periods from 2008-2011. In total, 1,578 beneficiaries were assisted, 983 (62.2%) of whom …

Functionalization Of In-Plane Photonic Microcantilever Arrays For Biosensing Applications, Stanley J. Ness Oct 2012

Functionalization Of In-Plane Photonic Microcantilever Arrays For Biosensing Applications, Stanley J. Ness

Theses and Dissertations

Microcantilevers have been investigated as high sensitivity, label free biosensors for approximately 15 years. In nearly all cases, a thin gold film deposited on the microcantilevers is used as an intermediate attachment layer because of the convenience of thiol-gold chemistry. Unfortunately, this attachment chemistry can be unstable when used with complex sample media such as blood plasma. The Nordin group at BYU has recently developed an all-silicon in-plane photonic microcantilever (PMCL) technology to serve as a platform for label-free biosensing. It has the advantage of being readily scalable to simultaneous readout of many PMCLs in array format, and allows integration …

Understanding The Culture Of Ahiska Turks In Wheaton, Illinois: A Case Study, Omer Avci Oct 2012

Understanding The Culture Of Ahiska Turks In Wheaton, Illinois: A Case Study, Omer Avci

The Qualitative Report

This study focuses on the cultural characteristics of Ahiska Turks in Wheaton, Illinois in the United States. By trying to understand the culture of the participants, I sought to shed light on how the Ahiska Turks managed to cope with the hardship they experienced and yet preserved their ethnic identities. In this multicase study, I interviewed six male Ahiska Turks. As a result of my analyses, eight themes emerged: family, religion (i.e., Islam), language (i.e., Turkish), communal life, endogamy, authoritarianism, oppression against the preservation of culture and identity, and education for upward mobility. The Ahiska Turks’ agrarian way of life, …

Reliable Power Delivery System Design For Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuits (3d Ics), Pei Wen Luo, Tao Wang, Chin Long Wey, Liang Chia Cheng, Bih Lan Sheu, Yiyu Shi Oct 2012

Reliable Power Delivery System Design For Three-Dimensional Integrated Circuits (3d Ics), Pei Wen Luo, Tao Wang, Chin Long Wey, Liang Chia Cheng, Bih Lan Sheu, Yiyu Shi

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) have drawn groundswell of interest in both academia and industry in recent years. However, the power integrity of 3D ICs is threatened by the increased current density brought by vertical integration. to enhance reliability, the locations of power/ground through-silicon-vias (P/G TSVs), which are used to deliver power/ground signals to different layers, must be carefully placed to minimize IR-drop. However, the currents in 3D ICs are not deterministic and exhibit both spatial and temporal correlations. in view of this, we propose a correlation based heuristic algorithm for P/G TSV placement. Unlike most existing works, the proposed …

A Key Challenge In Global Hrm: Adding New Insights To Existing Expatriate Spouse Adjustment Models, Ritu Gupta, Pratyush Banerjee, Jighyasu Gaur Oct 2012

A Key Challenge In Global Hrm: Adding New Insights To Existing Expatriate Spouse Adjustment Models, Ritu Gupta, Pratyush Banerjee, Jighyasu Gaur

The Qualitative Report

This study is an attempt to strengthen the existing knowledge about factors affecting the adjustment process of the trailing expatriate spouse and the subsequent impact of any maladjustment or expatriate failure. We conducted a qualitative enquiry using grounded theory methodology with 26 Indian spouses who had to deal with their partner’s expatriate assignment relocation. The open and axial coding techniques and the process of theoretical sampling are discussed at length. Our investigation reveals the recurrence of several factors earlier studied in previous models such as cultural novelty, family and peer support, the organization’s support and the spouse’s personality. Additionally, we …

The Oxidation Of Hydrogen Peroxide On Nanostructured Rhodium Microelectrodes, N. Bartlett Philip, F. Esterle Thomas Oct 2012

The Oxidation Of Hydrogen Peroxide On Nanostructured Rhodium Microelectrodes, N. Bartlett Philip, F. Esterle Thomas

Journal of Electrochemistry

Mesoporous Rh films were deposited onto platinum microelectrodes from the H1 lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of C12EO8 (octaethyleneglycol monododecyl ether). The electrodes show well defined voltammetry for the oxidation and the reduction of hydrogen peroxide at low concentrations (<10 mmol•L-1) with excellent stability for operation at neutral pH. Based on the hysteresis in the current and the potential dependence the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide occurs through a CEE mechanism involving Rh(OH)3 on the mesoporous Rh electrode surface. At higher hydrogen peroxide concentrations the current reaches a plateau that is due to either saturation of the binding sites for hydrogen peroxide or limitation of the reaction due to acidification of the solution within the pores. For the thin films (below 200 nm) the hydrogen peroxide calibration curves we …

Leverage And Alcohol Addiction, Tom Gallagher Oct 2012

Leverage And Alcohol Addiction, Tom Gallagher

Northeast Popular Culture Association

This paper confronts the question of whether messages can be diluted or even contradicted by the format in which they are delivered through a textual analysis of the TNT procedural drama Leverage, examining the portrayal of alcoholism in the program. The procedural drama, which often focuses on figures in law and order occupations, is characterized by close-ended episodes that often feature happy endings. Alcohol addiction has been a staple of many television programs, but these programs were mostly comedies or serial dramas. Leverage, a procedural drama with a light touch, is a modern day Robin Hood tale focused on five …


Captivity Narratives And The Positions Of Female Captives In Soldier Blue And Dances With Wolves, Zehui Dai Oct 2012

Captivity Narratives And The Positions Of Female Captives In Soldier Blue And Dances With Wolves, Zehui Dai

Northeast Popular Culture Association

From the beginning of European exploration and settlement in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through the end of the nineteenth century, Native American captivity was very much a historical reality for countless explorers and settlers living on the edge of the American frontier. It also touched the imaginations and fears of virtually everyone for whom it was a possibility. Conservative estimates place the number of captives taken by Indians in the tens of thousands. Some scholars share a central captivity image of a victimized woman in a genre of captivity literature. Even though women were not the only image in …


Children’S Television And Emotional Literacy, Diane Williamson Oct 2012

Children’S Television And Emotional Literacy, Diane Williamson

Northeast Popular Culture Association

Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood both promote the social and emotional learning of preschoolers, leading to lifelong positive effects. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood has recently been created to replace Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood, to an unknown degree of effectiveness. Despite the success of these two shows, we still have a lot to learn about the teaching of socio-emotional skills, but perhaps what is even more unsettling is that the majority of children’s programs simply ignore the proven methods of socio-emotional learning that these shows have established, possibly to the detriment of their own goals of cognitive education.
