Results showed that renal transplant recipients had a moderate quality of life. It has been suggested that reading and English aptitudes are related to formal writing ability, yet neither the reading nor the English aptitudes of undergraduate nursing students have been described in the literature, and the relationships that reading and English aptitude have with formal writing ability have not been explored. Legumes and fish were negatively correlated with CPK. Nguyen, Manh Cuong; Yao, Yongxin; Wang, Cai-Zhuang. At a different level, we demonstrate that temporal correlations are a signature of a 'multitasking' behavior of network agents, characterized by a higher level of switching between different social activities than expected in a uncorrelated pattern. Discussion Qualitative description is a useful qualitative method in much medical research if you keep the limitations of the approach in mind. Poor intertester reliability of traditional foot measures might contribute to the inconsistency. The comparison of performance on the posttests and final exam suggests that using simulation as an adjunctive pedagogy can lead to excellent short-term knowledge retention. It would appear that little progress has been made in 40 years in this area and potential reasons are discussed. This paper discusses the design and analysis of randomized clinical trials that allow arbitrary correlation among all randomized volunteers. Overall 68 RCTs were identified. Participants (n = 31) with a mean age of 65 11.9 were on the ventilator a median of 5 days. Hydroclimatic processes come in all "shapes and sizes". One interesting feature of the proposed scheme is its ability to stream image processing in order to perform correlation for video sequences. The system structure is expressed in the following forms: the control-flow hierarchy of the system, the data-flow structure of the system, the task hierarchy, the memory structure, and the software to hardware configuration mapping. We collected data from 171 household heads or their representatives, selected through a multistage sampling technique. To formulate the problem, we construct two criteria to measure the correlation and stopband properties and then establish an unconstrained problem in the frequency domain. An automated assessment of a picture description task could assist clinicians in the detection of early signs of cognitive impairment and AD. Lai, Jianbo; Zhou, Weihua; Lu, Qiaoqiao; Huang, Tingting; Xu, Yi; Hu, Shaohua. Waveform sets with good correlation and/or stopband properties have received extensive attention and been widely used in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar. Description of intervention, random sequence generation, and the details regarding recruitment were also deficient; less than 50% of studies fulfilled all criteria. Section 2 contains diagrams relating to the simulation test configuration of the 2-view system. These methods usually focus on estimating the variance. It is shown that the equation of motion of the Wigner function corresponds to a fermionic analog of Liouville's equation. The meeting is intended to enhance interactions between theory, applications, instrument design, and participants. Digital systems design language. However, no moderators of the association between descriptive norms and pregaming frequency were observed. Nine per cent of websites demonstrated full compliance with current guidelines on ethical advertising. One can distinguish two interrelated, but nevertheless, different directions in the physics of high T(sub c): one involving the problem of carrier doping and the transition to the metallic state, and the second being the description of the metallic state. The input to the program primarily consists of a series of single point values such as hull overall fineness ratio, number of engines, airship hull and empennage drag coefficients, description of the mission profile, and weights of fixed equipment, fixed useful load and payload. Regression analysis was used to assess associations. The generation of ultrashort XUV radiation has triggered the development and application of spectroscopy techniques that can achieve time resolution well into the attosecond domain, thereby offering information on the correlated electronic motion and on the correlation between electron and nuclear motion. Constipation is a common clinical problem with insufficient attention. Descriptive statistics ( M, SD), Pearson r, t test, and ANOVA were used. To assist researchers in reducing mistakes, important issues are singled out for discussion and several options put forward for analysing data. 30, pp. AUTHOR(.) Yet, tasks are a multi-faceted concept and it is thus not surprising that the many existing task taxonomies and models all describe different aspects of tasks, depending on what these task descriptions aim to capture. The graphical description of the potential depicts the significance of the exchange and correlation effects arising through spin and other variables on the wake potential. The overall structure for a quantitative design is based in the scientific method. However, writing apprehension is a common phenomenon among nursing students. SR present a well-defined protocol to summarize research evidence and to evaluate the quality of the studies with determined criteria. Surveys completed by 133 youth ages 10 to 17 were analyzed. The purpose of this methodology paper is to describe an approach to qualitative design known as qualitative descriptive that is well suited to junior health sciences researchers because it can be used with a variety of theoretical approaches, sampling techniques, and data collection strategies. Third generation of correlators for six antennas. It requires a sufficiently accurate description of the atomistic structure (in particular bond distances and angles), which is usually obtained from first-principles Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT), which due to the approximate nature of the exchange-correlation functional may provide an unreliable description of strongly correlated systems. For example, it finds an application in the assessment of small-worldness of brain networks, which is affected by attentional and cognitive conditions, age, psychiatric disorders and so forth. Copyright 2013, SLACK Incorporated. Avionics systems provide guidance information that allows the flight crew to conform to the PTM clearance issued by the controller. Both situations are unfavourable as the first one decreases the power and the latter one leads to a waste of resources. Further, within the context of complex Bell networks, we show that entropic nonlocal correlations can be activated. This study aimed to describe spatiotemporal correlates of pediatric violent injury in an urban community. Intraclass Correlation Coefficients in Hierarchical Designs: Evaluation Using Latent Variable Modeling, Interval estimation of intraclass correlation coefficients in hierarchical designs is discussed within a latent variable modeling framework. This work is based primarily on barium strontium titanate (BSTO) ferroelectric thin film based tunable microstrip filters for room temperature applications. After adjusting the radius to surface templates, setting tolerances and giving element drawings, this system has been fabricated successfully. Nurse and patient factors that influence nursing time in chest tube management early after open heart surgery: A descriptive, correlational study. A total of 976 studies were identified; 50% were randomly selected for each year analyzed. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on the development and integration of communication strategies into critical care nursing practice. Andreev, A V; Kivelson, Steven A; Spivak, B. The programs were designed to stimulate the improvement and development of programs for secondary special education and to strengthen and coordinate education, training, and related services. The two-fold objective of this dissertation work has been to address both these shortcomings. This approach is valid when the electron-electron scattering length is sufficiently short. 43. This paper introduces an extension of previous work on decision-theoretic designs for a series of phase II trials. The Greek-Cypriot version of the CDI is a reliable. Both respondents' sex and the perceived sex of the design professional had significant effects on the perceived sexual orientation of the design professionals. The design description, drawings, available analysis, and safety analysis were reviewed by a peer group. Corpus-Based Approaches to Language Description for Specialized Academic Writing, Language description is a fundamental requirement for second language (L2) syllabus design. Fluorescence imaging may be an effective tool for predicting response to treatment. Bradshaw, Carmel; Atkinson, Sandra; Doody, Owen. Dental appointments were video-recorded; five calibrated observers assessed 1,209 minutes of video recording to score the children's behavior, following the instructions of the investigated scales. Thus enabled, this thesis work proceeds to present quantitative applications of infrared near-field spectroscopy to investigate nano-resolved chemical compositions in a diverse host of samples, including technologically relevant lithium ion battery materials, astrophysical planetary materials, and invaluable returned extraterrestrial samples. The overall median CONSORT and Jadad scores were 34.5 (maximum 44) and 2 (maximum 5), respectively; these scores were similar in radiation and chemotherapy-based trials. Oceanogr. They were generally satisfied with the management of their child's postoperative pain. Designing Waveform Sets with Good Correlation and Stopband Properties for MIMO Radar via the Gradient-Based Method. Proper selection of the phase of the output response was shown to reduce the correlation energy. Temperature, humidity, and precipitation summaries include data from SRL's standard meteorological instrument shelter and the Augusta National Weather Service office at Bush Field through 1986. Rev. Tip: If you are done with your academic work, we can help you with dissertation printing! However, the sample size quite often depends on parameters that might not be known in advance of the study. The most computational intensive treatment required by the correlation is the transformation from spatial to spectral domain and then from spectral to spatial domain. Totally 4657 titles and abstracts were screened; 260 of them were found to be reporting on a descriptive study. Descriptive/Correlational Research Any scientific process begins with description, based on observation, of an event or events, from which theories may later be developed to explain the observations. The child and adolescent trichotillomania impact project: descriptive psychopathology, comorbidity, functional impairment, and treatment utilization. For theoretical work, we focus on the test of no treatment effect 1 0 = 0 when the n dimensional vector of outcomes follows a Gaussian distribution with known n n covariance matrix , where the half randomized to treatment (placebo) have mean response 1 (0). Descriptive and inferential statistical methods used in burns research. 14 CFR 1-3 - General description of system of accounts and reports. In the present HDL-based design of SFQ circuits, a structure-level HDL description has been used, where circuits are made up of basic gate cells. Mansouri, Alireza; Shin, Samuel; Cooper, Benjamin; Srivastava, Archita; Bhandari, Mohit; Kondziolka, Douglas, Deficiencies in design and reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) hinders interpretability and critical appraisal. The use of multivariate statistics increased over time. A range of parameters suitable for the satisfactory description of key magnetic properties is determined. Sixteen reported smoking cigarettes (mean = 1.2 packs per day; SD = 0.8; range = 0.25 to 3.0) for a mean of 27.4 years (SD = 16.3 years, range = 1 to 46 years). Pair correlation function and nonlinear kinetic equation for a spatially uniform polarizable nonideal plasma. The report of a study to investigate migration of IPAD software between the two candidate 3rd generation host computing systems and from these systems to a 4th generation system is included. The correlator controller assumes the role of bus master and keeps track of data and properly interrupts the computer at the end of the observation. Correlates of Stress and Coping among Jordanian Nursing Students during Clinical Practice in Psychiatric/Mental Health Course. Shoemaker, Lorie K; Kazley, Abby Swanson; White, Andrea, The aim of this study was to describe the organizational decision-making process used in the selection of evidence-based design (EBD) concepts, the criteria used to make these decisions, and the extent to which leadership style may have influenced the decision-making process. This study was to identify the relationship between perceived stress, anger expression, and level of depression in cancer patients. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U tests, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used for data analyses. No significant correlations with students Motivation, Persistence, Wish to learn alone and Wish for an authoritative person present were seen. We show that for a large variation of SO interaction the MAE in these materials can be well described by the traditional second order perturbation theory. Here we develop a general framework for identifying the free theory that is closest to a given interacting model in terms of their ground-state correlations. Furthermore, the results also indicated that if the design professional was perceived to be male, there was a higher tendency that he would be perceived as homosexual, especially by a male respondent. The equilibrium density operator for fermionic fields developed by Cahill and Glauber is thus extended to a dynamical context to show that the mathematical structures of both the correlation functions and the weight factors closely resemble their bosonic counterpart. Participants were informed about the objectives and the voluntary nature of the study. Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. Social support and symptom distress, age, employment status, and household income significantly explained 28.8% of the variance in quality of life. As a result, it has been difficult to arrive at any generalized correlations. The course was designed using a sample curriculum as. PMID:27729875, Attitudes of Design Students toward Computer Usage in Design, The success of efforts to integrate technology with design education is largely affected by the attitudes of students toward technology. However, research examining the correlates of pregaming behavior is limited. Descriptive Research: Assessing the Current State of Affairs Descriptive research is designed to create a snapshot of the current thoughts, feelings, or behavior of individuals. To develop quantitative design principles for guiding site-directed recombination of AAV capsids, we have examined how capsid structural perturbations predicted by the SCHEMA algorithm correlate with experimental measurements of disruption in seventeen chimeric capsid proteins. A cross-sectional quantitative descriptive design with qualitative, narrative-type components was used for this study. A hierarchical description of a process and its components has been defined through a flat XML file with a grammar of proper metadata tags. Background Pregaming is highly prevalent on college campuses and associated with heightened levels of intoxication and risk of alcohol consequences. Psychosocial correlates of internet use among Italian students. mean, median, SD, range, etc.) The other, the loss parameter, is defined as the incremental or decremental change in insertion loss of the filter with incremental change in maximum applied electric field. Household heads earning between GH 200.00 and GH 300.00 were about nine times more likely to use the facilities than those who earned below GH 100.00 (adjusted OR=8.88, 95% CI 1.94, 40.6, P=0.05). Our design space consists of five design dimensions that characterize the main aspects of tasks and that have so far been distributed across different task descriptions. Preparing Tomorrow's Administrators: A Quantitative Correlation Study of the Relationship between Emotional Intelligence and Effective Leadership Practices, Purpose: The purpose of this quantitative correlation study was to identify whether there is a relationship between emotional intelligence and effective leadership practices, specifically with school administrators in Southern California K-12 public schools. To show the changes of the propagation% parameter along scales, a wavelet running cross-correlation was used. Advantages of analog IF processing are presented. The key attributes and value of qualitative description research in the health care professions will be highlighted with the aim of extending its usage. Given a vast search space of training templates, an iterative algorithm is used to synthesize a filter with an optimized performance in terms of several competing criteria. Time and day of injury were used to evaluate temporal trends. Possible model implementation in FPGA chips and its management by object oriented software in Java is described. Most nurses provided various types of cognitive information to parents related to their children's surgery, whereas information about children's feelings was less often provided. Sec. The traditional intracluster correlation is the correlation among individuals within the same community at a specific time point. The design and experimental performance of an implementation of the direct time correlator utilizing two analog CCDs and MOS multipliers on a single IC were evaluated. We tested the hypothesis that higher descriptive norms for pregaming frequency would be associated with personal pregaming frequency. In contrast, the conventional local clustering coefficients were strongly, Clustering Coefficients for Correlation Networks, Quantitative Near-field Microscopy of Heterogeneous and Correlated Electron Oxides, Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is a novel scanning probe microscopy technique capable of circumventing the conventional diffraction limit of light, affording unparalleled optical resolution (down to 10 nanometers) even for radiation in the infrared and terahertz energy regimes, with light wavelengths exceeding 10 micrometers. The FTI, with its broad systems and non-pathologic factors complements existing personality questionnaires. Trinary signed-digit (TSD) symbolic-substitution-based (SS-based) optical adders, which were recently proposed, are used as the basic modules for designing highly parallel optical multiplications by use of cascaded optical correlators. 2.2 Design Approach The stated objectives were met by: 1. distributing the processing load among multiple Z80 single-board computers (SBCs). The Langley turbo-prop commuter design: A complete project description, Buttram, Greg; Horton, Keith; Keeter, Tim; Millhouse, Paul; Newberry, Kelli; Obyrne, Brian. The website http://www.iwantthekit.org offers free STI testing via home self-sampling kits. Prospective, descriptive. In this paper, to further the behavioral validation and characterization of the four proposed temperament dimensions, we measured correlations with five variables: (1) gender; (2) level of education; (3) religious preference; (4) political orientation; (5) the degree to which an individual regards sex as essential to a successful relationship. These phenomena include tornadoes, thunderstorms, hurricanes, and ice/snow storms. The propagation% parameter assessed from this function allows quantitative description of synchronization in bivariate time series. RIME ratings correlated most strongly with patient management skills and least strongly with humanistic qualities. Scores on a picture naming task were associated with difficulties in word retrieval in connected speech in AD, while scores on a task of semantic verbal fluency were less useful in predicting measures of retrieval in context in this population. Design of a Question and Answer dialog system to handle student questions about Advanced Life Support (ALS) systems - students learn biology by applying it to ALS projects. Methods: By using stratified random sampling in terms of nature of wards/units and working ranks, 139 full-time nurses who were working in the 400-bed private hospital for at least 6 months and provided direct nursing care were recruited in this study. A functional description is presented of signal processing in the Rogue receiver, tracing the signal from RF input to the output values of group delay, phase, and data bits. The Cryogenic Orbital Nitrogen Experiment (CONE) is a LN2 cryogenic storage and supply system demonstration placed in orbit by the National Space Transportation System (NSTS) Orbiter and operated as an in-bay payload. New distinctions among three domains of concern for humans--description, action, and commitment--have revealed that the design process for programmable machines, such as expert systems, is based on descriptions of actions and induces blindness to nonanalytic action and commitment. Each description contains the following information: purpose, course objectives, outline of course content, list of optional topics, recommended types of evaluation, prerequisites, areas of interest, and curriculum sequence (grade level at which it should be, 78 FR 14649 - Amendment of Class B Airspace Description; Tampa, FL. The design engineers obtain the technical requirements from the SDDs and by reference from the SDDs to the PDD. For cars, the strongest correlations were observed in the parahippocampal region and in the STG (P < 0.005). Participants were asked to complete 4 questionnaires in Arabic. We also discuss distributions of statistics, for example the variance, as well as the use of transformations. [2007] was modified to address this possibility. A significant correlation was shown between age and BP (P = 0.000). Our three-tiered approach to exposure assessment allowed us to achieve high specificity, which is crucial for studies of rare diseases with low exposure prevalence. A frequent error in reports of descriptive studies is overstepping the data: studies without a comparison group allow no inferences to be drawn about associations, causal or otherwise. Intervention(s): The dimensions of 10 model rectangles and the 28 participants' feet were measured, and DPMM foot posture was measured in the 111 participants. To verify the calculation, 9 of 11 container ships' data were improved as data of Neuro-Fuzzy system and the others were improved as verification data. These results highlight the need for burn care professionals to have a sound understanding of basic statistics, which is crucial in interpreting and reporting data. Historic and regional examples of landscape description represent desirable insight for contemporary professional inventory work. Data collection included questionnaires of personal characteristics, learning style preferences, determined by the Dunn and Dunn Productivity Environmental Preference Survey, and videotaped complex nursing simulation scenarios. Traditionally, modelling schemes are case specific and typically attempt to preserve few statistical moments providing inadequate and potentially risky distribution approximations. Finally, such determined sets of parameters of Coulomb correlations can be used in much needed large scale atomistic simulations.less. Colorafi, Karen Jiggins; Evans, Bronwynne. A descriptive study of adherence to lifestyle modificationfactors among hypertensive patients. A fermionic analog of a parametric amplifier is used to describe the joint quantum state of the two interacting fermionic modes. This has implications for injury prevention programming to prioritize highest-risk areas. Objectives: To investigate the validity and reliability of a digital photographic measurement method (DPMM) technology, the reliability of DPMM-quantified foot measures, and the concurrent validity of the DPMM with clinical-measurement methods (CMMs) and to report descriptive data for DPMM measures with moderate to high intratester and intertester reliability. Two blinded MRI radiologists in consensus retrospectively evaluated MRE studies for multiple MRI features. Summary As a consequence of the growth in qualitative research in the health sciences, researchers sometimes feel obliged to designate their work as phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography or a narrative study when in fact it is not.
