The Relationship Between Sleep And Nutrition In Message Framing Among College Students, Abbey G. White
The Relationship Between Sleep And Nutrition In Message Framing Among College Students, Abbey G. White
Doctoral Dissertations
The college years are often depicted as a time of immense change, specifically in relation to college students' level of nutrition and sleep quality. However, these health concerns not only impact college students' health but also their academic performance, mood, and as a result their future. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether technologically enhanced health messages are more effective than the traditional text format for creating healthy behavioral changes amongst college students. Secondly, the study provides the opportunity to examine previous research involving message framing, specifically, regulatory focus theory and self-efficacy, in order to provide further …
Nanoformulation For Anticancer Drug Delivery: Enhanced Pharmacokinetics And Circulation, Gaurav Parekh
Nanoformulation For Anticancer Drug Delivery: Enhanced Pharmacokinetics And Circulation, Gaurav Parekh
Doctoral Dissertations
In this study, we have explored the application of the Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly technique for improving injectable drug delivery systems of low soluble anticancer drugs (e.g. Camptothecin (CPT), Paclitaxel (PTX) or Doxorubicin (DOX)). For this study, a polyelectrolyte shell encapsulates different types of drug nanocores (e.g. soft core, nanomicelle or solid lipid nanocores).The low soluble drugs tend to crystallize and precipitate in an aqueous medium. This is the reason they cannot be injected and may have low concentrations and low circulation time in the blood. Even though these drugs when present in the cancer microenvironment have high anti-tumor inhibition, the …
Ear Specific Anl Measurements In Individuals With Unilateral And Asymmetrical Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Rebecca Howard
Ear Specific Anl Measurements In Individuals With Unilateral And Asymmetrical Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Rebecca Howard
Doctoral Dissertations
The present study sought to determine if ANLs differ between ears within subjects with unilateral or asymmetrical SNHL. ANL was measured in four conditions (i.e., binaural, better ear, poorer ear unmasked, and poorer ear masked) in fifteen adults, nine with unilateral SNHL and six with bilateral asymmetrical SNHL. A significant difference between ANL in the four conditions (i.e., binaural, better ear, poorer ear unmasked, and poorer ear masked) was identified; however, the subjects with unilateral and asymmetrical SNHL behaved similarly throughout the testing. When comparing the four conditions, the results showed a significant difference between both the binaural ANL and …
Grant Proposal: Effects Of Sound Field Amplification On Standardized Test Scores, Jessica Ivey Coker
Grant Proposal: Effects Of Sound Field Amplification On Standardized Test Scores, Jessica Ivey Coker
Doctoral Dissertations
Research has shown that the majority of classroom environments lack appropriate acoustical standards to ensure optimal learning conditions. During the early school grades, it is especially crucial that students overcome poor listening environments to obtain the fundamental educational skills necessary for academic success. Furthermore, the State of Louisiana conducts standardized test assessments (LEAP and iLEAP) to measure the students' knowledge and skills gained. These standardized test scores not only determine if the student progresses to the next grade, but also influences the amount of federal revenue and how the revenue is allocated to the schools. A proposed remedy to …
The Effect Of Auditory Processing Abilities On Acceptable Noise Levels, Brandee E. Richardson
The Effect Of Auditory Processing Abilities On Acceptable Noise Levels, Brandee E. Richardson
Doctoral Dissertations
The purpose of the present study was to determine typical acceptable noise levels (ANLs) in children diagnosed with auditory processing disorder (APD) and compare those to ANLs in children without APD. Sixteen participants, eight children with APD and eight children without APD, were administered a complete audiological evaluation and a series of APD tests [Filtered Words, Competing Sentences, and Auditory Figure Ground (0) subtests of the SCAN– 3C; Staggered Spondaic Word test; and Pitch Pattern test] to determine normal or abnormal auditory processing ability. Conventional ANLs were measured on each participant to determine acceptance of background noise. The results …
