Abstract:

In Chapters 1 and 2, we examined two key components of heathy dietary patterns, specific types of dietary fat and consumption of fruit and vegetables, in relation to total and cause-specific mortality in two prospective cohort studies, the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Dietary intake was assessed using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires at baseline and updated every 2 to 4 years. In Chapter 1, we found that higher saturated and trans fat intakes were associated with higher mortality, whereas polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat intakes were

Abstract:

In Saudi Arabia the need is recognised significantly to move towards the concept of an Information Society, particularly for the benefit of the healthcare community. There have been some individual efforts, in this direction but they do not address the problem and related root issues. The problem is that the body and soul are not joined as one to formulate a single entity. The health professional is the body and the soul is the health information professional (health librarians). Health professionals spend a great deal of time in information searching, while the health information professional

Abstract:

Statistical analysis and modeling are useful for understanding the behavior of different phenomena. In this study we will focus on two areas of applications: Global warming and cancer research. Global Warming is one of the major environmental challenge people face nowadays and cancer is one of the major health problem that people need to solve. For Global Warming, we are interest to do research on two major contributable variables: Carbon dioxide (CO2) and atmosphere temperature. We will model carbon dioxide in the atmosphere data with a system of differential equations. We will develop a diff

Studies report that health related quality of life (HRQL) in HF adds prognostic information beyond that of traditional demographic and clinical risk factors, however findings vary.

This is the first study to expansively investigate students’ and co-teachers’ perceptions and experiences of co-teaching in a higher education environment. The instrument developed, Co-teaching Perception and Experience Survey (CPES), provides a tool to allow evaluation and analysis of co-teaching settings in other higher education institutes. The outcomes identified in this research study will help administrators and policy makers make informed decisions before implementing co-teaching and thus provide students and co-teachers better learning and teaching experiences.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Personal health records (PHRs) are tools that allow individuals to access, share and manage their health information online. PHRs have received considerable interest and investment in recent years, because they are thought to have the potential to promote patient self-management and greater involvement in their own care. Despite apparent public interest and a proliferation of available options, adoption rates remain low. There is a gap in our understanding as to why people are choosing to use or not use PHRs, and what different populations of users might want from such a tool. In p

Abstract:

<p> Obesity often arises from poor diet and lack of exercise. Food deserts, in particular, cause people to develop poor eating habits because of the limited healthy food options and availability to cheap fast food chains. People affected by food deserts are usually found in communities of color and low-income areas. The purpose of the study was to identify whether Fontana residents are willing to adopt healthier lifestyles based on the perceptions about their own health and the health of the community. Mixed method research was utilized for the study. The participants in the study included adu

Abstract:

Metal structures are susceptible to various types of damages, including corrosion, stress damage, pillowing deformation, cracks etc. These kinds of damages in the metal structures occur mainly due to operational conditions and exposure to the environment. Our research involves a portable integrated wireless sensor system with video camera and ultrasound capabilities which is being developed to investigate corrosion damage on real structures in real time. This system uses images of the metal surfaces, which are captured from an integrated wireless sensor and then quantified and analyzed using c

Abstract:

Undernutrition in early life increases children’s risk of mortality, morbidity, and impaired growth and development. This thesis analyzes data from two randomized controlled trials in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The first trial assessed the effect of daily multivitamin (vitamins B-complex, C and E) supplementation on mortality and morbidity in infants born to HIV-infected mothers. 2387 infants were randomized to multivitamins or placebo at 6 weeks and followed-up for two years. The second trial assessed the effect of zinc and/or multivitamins (vitamins B-complex, C and E) on morbidity in infants

Abstract:

Eastern Mediterranean (EM) region experience poor air quality because it is highly influenced by local and transported pollution. For this reason, we examined the particulate pollution in Cyprus, an EU-member country located in the EM region. First, we analyzed daily PM10 (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10 μm) data collected in an urban and background site for sixteen years (1993-2008). We investigated long term trends using a Generalized Additive Model (GAM) after controlling for day of week, month, temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity. Annual PM10 (50.4-63.

Abstract:

Traditional information-processing accounts of the reasoning process in radiology assume that humans process the details of the input image in order to compute judgments. In these accounts, the development of expertise involves the acquisition of increasingly precise and complex internal problem representations that are based on a normal anatomy prototype. Fuzzy-trace theory predicts that accurate judgments rely on the reasoners ability to ignore irrelevant detail, to retrieve relevant gist memories and to accurately instantiate the image information with respect to the internal representation

Abstract:

Fried products such as chips and French fries are very popular for their appealing golden colour, crispy texture and distinct flavour. However, the significant amount of oil absorbed during frying negatively affects the nutritional value of food. In addition, oil degradation due to repeated use during frying poses a negative health impact. The general aim of this thesis is to reduce the adverse health impact of fried snacks, such as potato chips and French fries. Chapter three studies the effect of high pressure as pre- treatment before frying. High pressure was found to reduce frying time but
