Abstract:

The research reported in this thesis examines the impact of the Corrective Reading program on a national standardised reading comprehension test of ‘at risk’ students in Year 7 to Year 9 enrolled in a secondary school in Brisbane, Queensland. Previous studies focussing on Corrective Reading have established the positive impact on reading sub-skills, however, only a few studies have attempted to measure the effect of the program on reading comprehension assessed via standardised testing. Effective reading comprehension skills are critical for success at school and in the workforce. Yet, there a

Abstract:

In this thesis artwork is defined, through analogy with quantum mechanics, as the conjoining of the nonsimultaneously measurable momentum (waves) of artwork-text (words within the primary sources and exhibition catalogues) with the position (particles) of artwork-objects (artist- productivity/exhibition-quantities). Such a proposition allows for the changes within the artwork of the Russian avant-garde to be charted, as such artwork-objects are juxtaposed with different artwork-texts from 1902 to 2009. The artwork of an initial period from 1902 to 1934 is examined using primary-source artwork-

Abstract:

<p>Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) is a sensory analysis method that measures the order and time that few key attributes are dominant throughout consumption of a product. Dominant attributes are those that catch the attention at a given moment, and are not necessarily related to intensity. A panel of 15 judges was trained first in Generic Descriptive Analysis (GDA) and then in TDS. This panel assessed 8 Guittard chocolates varying in amounts of cocoa solids, sugar, and fat. Both methods produced similar results. Samples were predominantly separated as milk chocolates and non-milk choco

Pharmacoepidemiological analyses are needed as a background for evaluation of drug use and for making cost-effective priorities. Drug sales and prescription databases provide useful tools for analysis of drug consumption and expenditures. In this essay, an analysis of the sales and prescribing of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), drugs used for acid related gastric disorders, are presented. Since 1996, the consumption of PPIs in Norway has increased by approximately 10 % per year, with esomeprazole as the most commonly used drug.

As gerontologists may know, there are a great deal of studies and a variety of academic literature on the misuse of alcohol and prescription medication amongst the elderly population. While there is a plethora of information on alcohol and prescription misuse, there is little reported data about the prevalence of other substance misuse experienced by this population. This study aims to help to fill that gap in the data by using quantitative methods to describe the scope of substance abuse of individuals 55-years or older. This study utilizes data from the Treatment Data Set Admission (TEDS-A).

Because of the strong optical nonlinearity, a high-intensity pump pulse launched with a simple, e.g. Gaussian, temporal profile develops a highly complex structure during propagation. We show how such complex propagating ultrashort infrared pulses can be decomposed and subdivided to provide more in-depth analysis of each of their intense regions, leading to

Abstract:

Injury now surpasses disease as the leading global cause of premature death and disability, claiming over 5.8 millions lives each year. However, unlike disease, which has been subjected to a rigorous epidemiologic approach, the field of injury prevention and control has been a relative newcomer to scientific investigation. With the distribution of injury now well described (i.e. ???who???, ???what???, ???where??? and ???when???), the underlying hypothesis is that progress in understanding ???how??? and ???why??? lies in classifying injury occurrences aetiologically. The advancement of a means

Abstract:

The quality and the defectiveness of production are important factors in all sectors of engineering industry. On their improve there are a lot of effective tools, descriptive statistics is one of them. Descriptive statistic has many applicable tools but this work primarily focuses on desription of production using time series plot, testing of statistical hypothesis, testing of mutual dependencies of particular defects and control diagrams drawing. It is about a project that connects practice with theory.

Abstract:

A unifying framework for all signals belonging to the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo system is presented and applied to assess the potential code tracking performance of modernized satellite radionavigation signals. The framework reconciles, under a single analytical formulation, subcarrier signaling schemes, including the Binary Offset Carrier (BOC), Multiplexed Binary Offset Carrier (MBOC), and Alternative Binary Offset Carrier (ALTBOC). The new formulation allows for the derivation of closed form equations for the Auto-Correlation Function (ACF) and Power Spectral Density (PSD)

Abstract:

Organizations constantly face the challenge of identifying, adopting and implementing necessary changes in order to stay competitive. An option for executing these changes is to contract an external management consultant with experience and expertise in organizational development. Our aim is to find if and how certain demographic variables of management consultants’ background affect how they identify an organizational development problem. This thesis is focused on management consultants within organizational development, and their responses when presented with a laboratory business simulation

Abstract:

<p> Social networking sites are expanding the horizons of awareness campaigns by creating avenues for mass diffusion. The Ice Bucket Challenge, an ALS awareness campaign, diffused globally on social media platforms. The purpose of this research is to investigate the public perception of the Ice Bucket Challenge and its name calling strategy. The name calling strategy identified individuals by name and publicly nominated them on social media to participate in the campaign. This study investigates psychological reactance in the unique context of an interactive social media-based campaign. It see

Abstract:

ABSTRACT It may be of no surprise that water quality data is right-skewed, but what appears to be overlooked by some is that the arithmetic mean and standard deviation most often fail as measures of central tendency in skewed data. When using the arithmetic mean and arithmetic standard deviation with nutrient data, one standard deviation about the arithmetic mean can capture nearly all of the data and extend into negative values. Representing nutrient data this way can be misleading to viewers who are using the statistics, and making assumptions, to understand the characteristics of those wate

Abstract:

The aim of the present thesis is to provide new insights into fault growth processes and the evolution of earthquake activity in one of the most seismically active area in Europe, the Corinth Rift (central Greece). The collective properties of fault and earthquake populations are studied in terms of statistical mechanics and the generalized framework termed as Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics (NESM). By compiling a comprehensive dataset for the fault network in the Rift, the scaling properties of fault trace-lengths are studied by applying the NESM framework. In the debate of power-law vers
