Symptoms and quality of life assessment in ambulatory oncology: the evaluation of a clinical assessment tool
DownloadFall 2009
This study addressed gaps in the literature regarding the lack of information about the degree and extent of the relationships among symptom burden, specific symptoms, and health-related quality of life (HRQL). The sample included 89 adults receiving care for colorectal cancer in an outpatient...

Fall 2009
Thirty-eight clinicians were surveyed regarding their current clinical practices in assessing, tracking treatment and determining discharge criteria for clients with resonance disorders. When these results were compared with recommendations from the literature for best practices, it was found...

Tooth length measurement accuracy and reliability with cone-beam CT and panoramic radiography
DownloadSpring 2010
This study assessed the accuracy and reliability of tooth length measurements through axial, coronal and sagittal serial slices of CBCT volumes; conventional panoramic radiographs; and CBCT panoramic reconstructions to that of a digital caliper gold standard. Samples consisted of maxillary...

An evaluation of the stated student outcomes of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program
DownloadFall 2010
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stated student outcomes of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program including decreases in positive attitudes toward the use of abusable psychotropics and decreases in the self-reported use of the abusable psychotropics. A multivariate...

Adolescent Emotion Regulation Questionnaire: Development and Validation of a Measure of Emotion Regulation for Adolescents
DownloadFall 2011
The development of the Adolescent Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (AERQ) involved the creation of instrument items that were designed to measure emotion regulation strategies in cognitive, behavioral, physiological, and social response domains; intensity or duration emotional features; and...

Most current models for the deposition of aerosol particles in the human lung are based on a Lagrangian reference frame, which is ill-suited for modeling transient eects. Deposition models based on an Eulerian reference frame are much better at capturing instantaneous time-dependent eects, though...

This research challenges the notion of evaluation as being necessarily reductive, judgmental and often leading to ill-fated results by using creative methods to evaluate a nonprofit arts-based children's program. Using photography as an ethnographic approach to form the basis of in-depth...

Study of Enhanced Deposition due to Magnetic Field Alignment of Ellipsoid Particles Using Direct Numerical Simulations
DownloadFall 2012
A recent in vitro study demonstrated a non invasive method to enhance local deposition in a small airway by controlling the angular position of magnetic high aspect ratio particles. This technique could mitigate the challenge of providing sufficient therapeutic effects when using aerosolized...

Development of Empirical Models to Predict Deposition of Aerosols in the Extrathoracic Airways of Children
DownloadSpring 2012
The experimental studies described in this thesis were performed with the goal of measuring deposition of aerosols, inhaled either nasally or orally, in the extrathoracic airways of children in different age groups. We pursued in vitro methods and characterized the deposition of aerosols in the...
