Scalp hair was the most common pulling site, followed by eyelashes and eyebrows. In 2012, the ASR antenna was moved to another location on the airport. Especially, it was indicated that sugars are important components of the tastes of soy sauces. The main outcome measure was a 29-item seven-response Likert scale questionnaire, the Positive Presence Index (PPI), administered to women cared for during labor and birth by nurse-midwives to measure the concept of being with woman. Caregivers of children and adolescents with psychiatric morbidity suffer high levels of caregiver burden. Few studies have explored the impact of symptom distress and social support on quality of life in this population. We also tested whether this effect would be stronger in the context of several theory-based moderators: female gender, higher injunctive norms (i.e., perceptions of others' attitudes toward a particular behavior), a more positive attitude toward pregaming, a stronger sense of identification with the drinking habits of other students, and stronger social comparison tendencies. Methods and rigor issues underpinning qualitative description research are also appraised to provide the researcher with a systematic approach to conduct research utilizing this approach. A PRECIS-based scale was used to designate studies on the pragmatic-explanatory continuum. Throughout several AAL projects we have found repeated difficulties in this collaboration and have learned lessons by the experience of solving real situations. This report summarizes the existing statistical engines in VTK/Titan and presents the parallel versions thereof which have already been implemented. Optical/Digital pattern recognition and tracking based on optical/digital correlation are a well-known techniques to detect, identify and localize a target object in a scene. The high frequency of occurrence of depressive symptoms among Cypriot university students, as well as the strong association with stressful life events, highlights. The DIUs are located forward and aft of the avionics bay and provide signal conditioning, health monitoring, low level subsystem control and data interface functions.

Levels of both the diagnostic tissue destruction biologic markers ALP and AST are significantly higher in cylindric MSIs compared with hybrid MSIs, indicating a correlation to the type and method of placement of the MSI. Descriptive research is used to uncover new facts and meaning of a research. It is worth to examine the job satisfaction of nurses and its correlates in such a specific hospital context in Hong Kong, by which the findings can be compared with those in public hospitals, and across countries. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 159 people participated in 3 groups. We investigate the N c dependence of v 2{2} and v 2{4}. Parents displayed moderate levels of knowledge, attitudes and use of pain relief methods in relation to their children's postoperative pain and pain management. This research was designed to implement and extend a previously defined design automation system for the design of small digital structures. and a sixth: so what? Both situations are unfavourable as the first one decreases the power and the latter one leads to a waste of resources. Nevertheless, an Engineering Qualification Model was rapidly manufactured and now undergoing a qualification test campaign. Here, particular mathematical features of pCCD and CCD0 are exploited to avoid these problems in an efficient manner. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with Swedish university nursing students in 2012-2013. In accordance with one form of the present invention, the content description framework is a description scheme (DS) for describing streams or aggregations of multimedia objects, which may comprise audio, images, video, text, time series, and various other modalities.

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 140 Vietnamese female immigrants from November 2012 to October 2013. Our results bring out the paramount importance of the occupancy of the highest occupied natural spin-orbital in such quantification. In this paper, the authors present some of the early accounts of acromegaly and gigantism, and describe its historical evolution as a medical and surgical entity. After deducing the phase gradient and the step size, an efficient gradient-based algorithm with monotonicity is proposed to minimize the objective function directly. Digital Systems Design Language (DDL) is implemented on the SEL-32 Computer Systems. The instruments used are descriptive essay text and focus group interview questions. This separation of scales stands at the heart of the nuclear shell model and effective field theories that describe the long-range structure of the nucleus using a mean-field approximation. Nonlinear batch simulation analysis shows the control law exhibits good performance and meets most of the design guidelines over the entire range of angle-of-attack. 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. Oral secretions were suctioned hourly and tracheal secretions every 2 to 3 hours for 12-hour periods over 1 to 2 days in 15 patients. We have found that the restricted Hartree-Fock wavefunction leads to the improper dissociation limit and, in the three latest cases requires multireference description. Descriptive studies: what they can and cannot do. Design package includes drawings, description of automatic control logic, evaluation measurements, possible design variations, list of materials and installation tools, and trouble-shooting guide and manual. It has been shown that the fermionic correlation functions are marked by a characteristic upper bound due to Fermi statistics, which can be verified in the matter wave counterpart of photon down-conversion experiments. By independently naming the descriptions composed of sets of observational features, as well as maintaining connections to scientific names, it preserves the observational data used to identify organisms. The first 100 UK-based dental practice websites were pooled and saved following duplicate removal. The subjects consisted of 46 consecutive patients who participated in group cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for panic disorder. If they are not administered effectively, they quickly diminish. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SAS/PC. The strongest correlations between panic symptoms and safety behaviors were found between symptoms of derealization and listening to music with headphones, paresthesia and pushing a cart while shopping, and nausea and squatting down. 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. A correlational research design investigates relationships between variables without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. We designed and recently implemented this program for first-year medical students. DESIGN A questionnaire about the role functions identified from the literature was mailed or e-mailed to randomly selected medical directors, directors of care or nursing (DOCs), and administrators in LTC facilities. Thermal-equilibrated finite classical lattices are considered as a minimal model of the systems showing an interplay between low-energy collective fluctuations and single-site degrees of freedom. We designed the Aragon Workers Health Study (AWHS) to characterize the factors associated with metabolic abnormalities and subclinical atherosclerosis in a middle aged population in Spain free of clinical cardiovascular disease. Many applications of these ultra-lightweight systems are designed to precisely control internal or external surfaces, or both, to achieve desired performance. This section reviews three types of descriptive research: case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation (Figure 3.3). Descriptive and correlational research methods are the major types of quantitative research used to collect data and if need be, determine its relationship to a certain phenomenon. A purposive random sampling technique was employed to choose 90 workers to participate in the study. Their performance with respect to bias and standard error is compared to the unblinded estimator.

TITLE (end Subtitle) S. TYPE OF REPORT & PERIOD COVERED OPTICAL CORRELATION SEEKER 6. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy of diffusion probed with a Gaussian Lorentzian spatial distribution. The MSIs were immediately loaded, and PMICF was collected on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42 and evaluated using a standard laboratory protocol. Self-interaction corrected (SIC) DFT exchange gives, similar to exact exchange, for the bonding region a delocalized exchange hole, and does not cover any correlation effects. Furthermore, this report justifies the design of these engines with parallel scalability in mind; then, this theoretical property is verified with test runs that demonstrate optimal parallel speed-up with up to 200 processors. In the past 15 years, a dozen or so designs have been proposed for compact optical correlators. Figure 7.1 shows how experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational research vary in terms of internal validity. 67.7% of study participants had at least one plaque in the carotid or femoral arteries. View this answer. A total of 5788 childhood leukemia cases and 3308 childhood central nervous system cancer cases (included for comparison) and matched controls were available for analysis. Wang, Q.; Elbouz, M.; Alfalou, A.; Brosseau, C. We present a novel method to optimize the discrimination ability and noise robustness of composite filters. Participants were recruited from a medical-surgical intensive care unit in the Midwest United States. Data were then reviewed by the research team and coded to identify patterns, categories, and themes. Descriptive norm was assessed as the average score for each behavior and status norm was assessed using the correlation between each behavior and social status within each classroom. Higher scores on the LESS scale were associated with more frequent reports of clinical depressive symptoms (x(2) = 70.63, df = 4, p < 0.001). Correlational research is carried out to measure two variables. The four studies reported here sought to explore the nature of the construct of mind-mindedness. A pilot study: a descriptive correlational study of factors associated with weight in college nursing students.

Functional description of signal processing in the Rogue GPS receiver. Family functioning was 3.12 ( SD = 0.46), indicating more healthy families. A convenience sample of 240 community-dwelling adults aged 60 was recruited in May-July in 2012 in Hong Kong. It was first generated in the MonAMI project to promote understanding among different workgroups, proven useful there, and further tested later in some other smaller AAL projects. PMID:17879427, Thermal Design Overview of the Mars Exploration Rover Project. Studies were often chemotherapy-based (n=41 studies) focusing upon high grade gliomas (46%) and metastases (41%) as the top pathologies. Adsorbed transition metal atoms can have partially filled d or f shells due to strong on-site Coulomb interaction. Descriptive research design helps in gathering information that will display relationships between variables without changing the environment (U.S Department of Health and Human Services: The Office of Research Integrity, n.d.). The World Wide Web was searched from a UK-based computer using the Google search engine combined with the term 'orthodontic braces'. Quantitative structure-property relationship studies with multiple linear regression analysis were applied to find correlation between different calculated molecular descriptors of the phosphonic acid-based chelating agent and their stability constants. To validly publish a name, a description is required to separate the described group of organisms from those described by other names at the same level of the taxonomic hierarchy. Findings From a Nursing Care Audit Based on the Nursing Process: A Descriptive Study, Background: Although using the nursing process improves nursing care quality, few studies have evaluated nursing performance in accordance with nursing process steps either nationally or internationally. A hybrid exchange-correlation functional is optimized in order to accurately describe the nature of silicon carbides (SiC) in the framework of ab-initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT), especially with an aim toward future applications in defect studies. There were 1,507 (76.0%) male and 475 (24.0%) female doctors, with an average age of 51.3 years. Intra-cluster correlation coefficients were estimated for patient demographics, morbidity managed and treatments received. It has been recently shown that the amplitude of the N170 component monotonically decreases as gaussian noise is added to a picture of a face [Jemel et al., 2003]. This study included 27 children, 46 years old with early childhood caries that participated in a clinical trial (NCT02284204) that investigated two sedative regimes using oral midazolam/ketamine. However, since the treatment within a cluster changes during the course of the study, they can also be viewed as a form of crossover design. This was a prospective cohort study of an evaluation instrument for 4(th)-year medical students completing an EM rotation. The design is reported of a dual mode multispectral scanner, capable of satisfying both overland and oceanographic requirements. The STS extravehicular mobility unit, orbiter EVA provisions, EVA equipment, factors affecting employment of EVA, EVA mission integration, baselined extravehicular activity are discussed. A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used.

This increase is achieved by reduction of the numbers of pixels in the joint spatial encodings for the input TSD operands as well as reduction of the number of pixels used in the proposed matched spatial filters for the optical multipliers. Of 29 nurses, 86.2% were very comfortable managing chest tubes and oozing/non-secure dressings, but only 41.4% were very comfortable managing clogged chest tubes. 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. Qualitative description research is sometimes considered a less sophisticated approach for epistemological reasons. This facility was designed to provide realistic environments and times for testing thermal protection systems proposed for use on high speed vehicles such as the space shuttle. Alzayyat, Abdulkarim; Al-Gamal, Ekhlas; Ahmad, Muayyad M. Internet addiction is a significant international mental health problem among university students.

MM-DCCA may provide new ways of measuring the nonlinearity of two signals, and it helps to present much richer information than multifractal detrended cross-correlation analysis (MF-DCCA) by sweeping all the range of scale at which the multifractal structures of complex system are discussed. Excellent performance is also confirmed for other fundamental material properties including elastic constants and phonon frequency. Borrero, Carrie S W; England, Jennie D; Sarcia, Ben; Woods, Julia N. In recent years, rather than being used to assess the potential function of a response, descriptive assessment methods have been applied to evaluate potential consequences or contingencies for problem behavior (Borrero, Woods, Borrero, Masler, & Lesser in Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 43 , 71-88. doi: 10.1901/jaba.2010.43-71, 2010) or to assist with designing baseline conditions to approximate caregiver behavior (Casey et al.
