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. Descriptive statistics ( M, SD), Pearson r, t test, and ANOVA were used. Section 3 contains descriptions and drawings of the deliverable breadboard equipment. We used "Population Intervention Comparison Outcome Study - PICOS" framework to design the research in which "Population" was food/ beverages; "intervention" were RDM, "Comparison" was CDP as gold standard, "Outcome" was the ability of RDM to generate similar descriptive profiles in comparison with CDP and "Studies" was sensory descriptive analyses. We designed and fabricated a fully automatic fast face recognition optical parallel correlator [E. Watanabe and K. Kodate: Appl. The correlation functional changes X-only DFT densities in a manner observed when higher order coupling effects between lower order N-electron correlation effects are included. The reverse was true for Medicare spending. Real-world simulations of various hydroclimatic processes with different correlation structures and marginals, such as precipitation, river discharge, wind speed, humidity, extreme events per year, etc., as well as a multivariate example, highlight the flexibility, advantages, and complete generality of the method.

The computer program CASCOMP, which may be used in comparative design studies of lighter than air vehicles by rapidly providing airship size and mission performance data, was prepared and documented. The response of the inflatable system to possible damage was also studied using nonlinear finite element simulations. Descriptive studies often represent the first scientific toe in the water in new areas of inquiry. Before the study, the written informed consent was obtained from all subjects. The results revealed that our participants did not follow the healthy lifestyle recommendations; for example, the mean blood sugar (BS) level, body mass index (BMI), and cholesterol levels were 155 mg/dL (standard deviation (SD) = 71.9), 29 kg/m2 (SD = 5.4), and 197 mg/dL (SD = 86.6), respectively. A detailed description is given of some of the following systems: (1) water tank and support equipment; (2) communications systems; (3) environmental control and liquid cooled garment system (EcS/LCG); (4) closed circuit television system; and (5) medical support system. A multidisciplinary approach to management of children with psychiatric morbidity to address challenges faced by the caregivers may alleviate the burden; thereby improving clinical outcomes of children and adolescents with psychiatric morbidity. Under What Circumstances Does External Knowledge about the Correlation Structure Improve Power in Cluster Randomized Designs? However, the extent to which descriptive assessments of inappropriate mealtime behavior can predict behavioral function is not yet clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and its association with the number and the severity of self-reported stressful life events among university students in Cyprus. Anthropometric and biochemical analyses were performed. Based on the Linguistic Category Model, this assumes that concrete descriptions reduce the impact of belief-inconsistent behaviours while abstract descriptions maximize the impact of belief-consistent behaviours. An inconclusive study comparing the effect of concrete and abstract descriptions of belief-inconsistent information. Small hole (electron) doping of the superlattice leads to a two-dimensional single-band situation with holes (electrons) residing on the Ni d(x2-y2) (Ti d(xy)) orbital and coupled to antiferromagnetically correlated spins in the NiO2 layer.

Similarities and differences among the research designs are described and the relative strength of evidence they provide is discussed. The two correlation techniques are compared. Metabolite profiles primarily concerning low-molecular-weight hydrophilic components were based on gas chromatography with time-of-flightmass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS). For each test series included are specimen details, instrumentation, test results, a brief analysis description, test analysis correlation and conclusions. The findings show that running functions are very useful in the analysis of uterine contractions. Results Half of the participants in the final study sample (N=25) fully completed a stepwise process of building on their baseline PRO assessment to develop an initial care plan for their child. In addition, the description is edited throughout to the airspace, the area was designed using the latitude/longitude position of the ASR antenna as the centerpoint. This discussion article raises several issues and makes recommendations regarding the proposed approach. The 5th and 95th percentile values of a dataset of global anthropometric data are shown to be asymmetrically distributed. A need exists among medical students to develop a clinically correlated anatomy program that will maximize their learning experience, improve their performance and allow them to make moreinformed career choices. Descriptive and inferential statistical methods used in burns research. Aim. Receiver functional design, which emphasized accuracy, reliability, flexibility, and dynamic capability, is summarized. The aim of this paper is to provide an overall description of the Finnish Prenatal Study of Bipolar Disorders (FIPS-B), including the study design, national registers and linkage of the registers. Both respondents' sex and the perceived sex of the design professional had significant effects on the perceived sexual orientation of the design professionals. Also, three different multiplication designs are presented, and new joint spatial encodings for the TSD numbers are introduced. The prevalence of mild to moderate depressive symptoms [CES-D score between 16 and 21] and of clinically significant depressive symptoms [CES-D score 22] were 18.8% and 25.3% respectively. Interestingly, however, we did not observe a correlation between genome packaging and calculated structural disruption; a majority of the chimeric capsid proteins formed at least partially assembled capsids and more than half packaged genomes, including those with the highest SCHEMA disruption. Descriptive research is a study of status and is widely used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and the behavioral sciences. Discussion and Conclusion: There were multiple complex interactions between the tested learning style preferences and the team achievements of clinical judgement in the simulation room, which provides important information for the becoming nurses. A Descriptive and Interpretative Information System for the IODP. Our findings also showed that shortage of medicines (41.5%), lack of money to pay for services (28.7%) and absenteeism of Community Health Officers (CHOs) (12.3%) were major barriers to the use of the facilities. According to Nyquist law, the characteristic frequency of the system is 14lp/mm. The proportion of patients using laxatives was 31.4%, and the commonly used laxatives were phenolphthalein tablet, lactulose and congrongtongbian oral liquid (a patent herbal medicine). Copyright 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Computer-based evaluation of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment patients during a picture description task. The manufacturing and construction plans, and the preparation of a potential site on Oahu, Hawaii, are documented. 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. The aim of this article is to improve the designers' confidence in the validity of the game-based learning, NASA Langley Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar Instrument Description. This type of research is descriptive, unlike experimental research that relies entirely on scientific methodology and hypothesis. Digital Systems Design Language (DDL) is implemented on the SEL-32 Computer Systems. The majority of caregivers reported moderate to severe caregiver burden; (n = 100, 39.7%). Novel programming framework model for the environment, named Graphic-Functional-Components is presented. Surveys completed by 133 youth ages 10 to 17 were analyzed. We conclude that these systems may be treated as a good models for interpretation of the proton transfer mechanism as well as for testing one-determinantal or multireference cases. This descriptive correlational study explored the relationship between BV and preterm birth, using retrospective chart data from a purposive sample of 103 women (for a power level of 95%) from one rural obstetric-gynecologic clinic. Data were then reviewed by the research team and coded to identify patterns, categories, and themes. 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. Sec. The majority of village doctors (58.5%) practiced both western medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine, and 91.2% of the doctors received their education below college level. TV synchronized addressing of 3 RAMs permits on-line storage of: (1) the maximum unnormalized amplitude, (2) the image x location, and (3) the image y location of the output of each of up to 99 matched filters. We find that this description is able to describe these materials and also that phonons and plasmons play a major role in the mechanism of high T(sub c). For qualitative research, approximately 50% fell in the "other category" over the 25 years; in 2010, grounded theory (15, Towards a metadata scheme for the description of materials - the description of microstructures, Schmitz, Georg J.; Bttger, Bernd; Apel, Markus; Eiken, Janin; Laschet, Gottfried; Altenfeld, Ralph; Berger, Ralf; Boussinot, Guillaume; Viardin, Alexandre. Human behavioral characteristics, which specify the system design at the user interface, security considerations, and standards for system design, implementation, and maintenance are also part of the technical design specifications. This article reviews the types of single subject research designs published in eight refereed journals between 1983 and 2007 used to answer applied research questions. Involving parents in children's pain management is essential to achieve optimal outcomes. A complete description of input and output along with sample cases are included. We develop and compare different methods for blinded estimation of the correlation coefficient that are less likely to introduce operational bias when the blinding is maintained. Correlational research is widely used and this paper should be particularly useful for novice nurse researchers. It should be known that the two variables under discussion cannot be manipulated. . The potential energy curves were calculated and nondynamical correlation energies analyzed. Description of intervention, random sequence generation, and the details regarding recruitment were also deficient; less than 50% of studies fulfilled all criteria. Studies published in 2005-2010 were compared as a cohort against studies published in 2011-2014, in terms of general characteristics and reporting quality. The most prevalent research designs were cross-sectional studies (38%), single-case or case-series studies, and narrative reviews. A Descriptive and Evaluative Analysis of Program Planning Literature, 1950-1983. Broby, Nicolette; Lassetter, Jane H; Williams, Mary; Winters, Blaine A. 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. We find that coherent multiple scattering is essential to obtain a positive definite v 2{4}.

The present Integrated Reservoir Description (IRD) is focussed on delivering the next level of detail that will impact the understanding of the localmore reservoir architecture and dynamic performance of each well. A conceptual approach for CONE was developed and an overview of the program is described including the following: (1) a description of the background and scope of the technology objectives; (2) a description of the payload design and operation; and (3) the justification for CONE relating to potential near term benefits and risk mitigation for future systems. The coefficient of birth order showed that odds of self-report of rape by first-born male increases by 6 times compared with other children. Methods: This study was conducted using a quantitative descriptive design, correlation. For instance, we find cases where two layers of the same multiplex network are positively correlated in terms of node degrees, while other two layers are negatively correlated. Three significant correlations were found between the team achievements and the students' learning style preferences: significant negative correlation with 'Structure' and 'Kinesthetic' at the individual level, and positive correlation with the 'Tactile' variable. With the use of soft modelling techniques such as quantitative structure-activity relationship/quantitative structure-property relationship after a suitable description of their molecular structure, we have studied a series of phosphonic acid for designing new MRI contrast agent.

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. 52.214-21 Descriptive Literature. 1-3 Section 1-3 Aeronautics and Space OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF reports. Cook, Myra; Idzior, Laura; Bena, James F; Albert, Nancy M. Determine nurse characteristics and patient factors that affect nurses' time in managing chest tubes in the first 24-hours of critical-care stay. We describe planning domains that have features which are hard to model using PDDL 2.1. The two resulting families of approximations, denoted as pCCD+DFT and CCD0+DFT, are shown to be able to describe static and dynamic correlation in standard benchmark calculations. Statistics is defined by the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus as the science and art of collecting, summarizing, and analyzing data that are subject to random variation. Unlike past spacecraft power systems, the SSF EPS will grow and be maintained on orbit and must be flexible to meet challenging user power needs. Hedges, Larry V.; Hedberg, Eric C.; Kuyper, Arend M. Intraclass correlations are used to summarize the variance decomposition in popula- tions with multilevel hierarchical structure. In scientific research, a descriptive correlational method refers to a type of study in which information is collected without making any changes to the study subject. Because allocation is usually by cluster, SWDs are often viewed as a form of cluster-randomized trial. Project Descriptions for the 2009 award recipients of the Environmental Justice Small Grants Program which is designed to assist recipients in building collaborative partnerships that will help them understand and address the environmental and/or public health issues in their communities. In a broad range of temperatures, the dissipation is dominated by heat fluxes in the electron fluid, and the resistivity is inversely proportional to the thermal conductivity, . FIPS-B is a population-based prenatal epidemiological study of BPD with a nested case-control study design using several national registers. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy is fundamental in many physical, chemical and biological studies of molecular diffusion. Third generation of correlators for six antennas. A fermionic analog of a parametric amplifier is used to describe the joint quantum state of the two interacting fermionic modes. We also report on an analysis between the FTI and the NEO-Five Factor Inventory, using a college sample (n = 215), which showed convergent validity. 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 control law (designated NASA-1A) was flight tested during the Summer of 1994 at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. Most of the research published in Brazilian physical therapy journals used levels II and III of evidence. Business Education Course Descriptions. 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. Copyright 2015 American Society for Pain Management Nursing. After deducing the phase gradient and the step size, an efficient gradient-based algorithm with monotonicity is proposed to minimize the objective function directly. In the proposed description it is supposed that the construction of an internal representation is a probabilistic process. In the last 5 years, several studies assessing the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of multiple AKs have been published. The statistical software product was named in 33(65%). 05) than individuals who self-identified other countries of origin. Although the DNA-like molecule is usually described as a short-ranged correlated random ladder, artificial segments can be grown following quasiperiodic sequences as, for instance, the Fibonacci and Rudin-Shapiro ones. Determination of this operating curve is critical for reduction of input noise. Results also indicate that positive nurses beliefs and attitudes toward EBP are predictive of better implementation in clinical practice.

The observed lack of correlation may happen due to many factors, such as the influence of vasoactive and anesthetic drugs, total muscular relaxation, or the presence of an open abdomen. If private markets are to work better to reduce cost, stronger efforts are needed to reduce provider market concentration and promote competitive pricing for healthcare services. Lastly, applications of CCD0+DFT to actinide chemistry are considered in this work. Although RN-perceived staffing adequacy was not highly correlated with administrative measures of HPPD and RN skill mix, it was the strongest predictor of UAPU occurrences. 1-3 Section 1-3 Aeronautics and Space OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF reports. Employing a Qualitative Description Approach in Health Care Research. and a sixth: so what? Its value is based on the premise that problems can be solved and practices improved through observation, analysis, and description. Regression analysis was used to assess associations. Suggestions for specific studies designed to improve the basic model were also made. Angeles International Airport 93.93 Description of area. We designed and recently implemented this program for first-year medical students. Among these, ethical and social considerations are critical. The most common definition of school improvement found in literature relates to a general effort to make schools better places for students to learn, and covers a wide variety of activities ranging from quick fixes to comprehensive school reform. We performed a retrospective cohort study using patient-level data (2009-2011) from a novel emergency medical service computerized entry system for violent injury resulting in an ambulance dispatch among children aged 0 to 16 years. Nurses and midwives often have clinical questions suitable to a qualitative approach but little time to develop an exhaustive comprehension of qualitative methodological approaches. Volume 2: System design document. The majority reported tension before pulling and gratification/relief immediately after pulling. The aim was to explore three specific hypotheses to test correlations between nursing students team achievements in clinical judgement and emotional, sociological and physiological learning style preferences. In this study, the design of Geschke et al. That paper provides and overview of engineering dimensional analysis (DA) for use in developing DA models. 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. In our small chimera population, created by recombining AAV serotypes 2 and 4, we found that protection of viral genomes and cellular transduction were inversely related to calculated disruption of the capsid structure. Gilbert, Peter B.; Grove, Douglas; Gabriel, Erin; Huang, Ying; Gray, Glenda; Hammer, Scott M.; Buchbinder, Susan P.; Kublin, James; Corey, Lawrence; Self, Steven G. Five preventative HIV vaccine efficacy trials have been conducted over the last 12 years, all of which evaluated vaccine efficacy (VE) to prevent HIV infection for a single vaccine regimen versus placebo. This study aimed to assess lifestyle modification factors among patients diagnosed with hypertension. Transcriptions and audio recordings of the Cookie Theft picture description task were used. Knowledge about visualization tasks plays an important role in choosing or building suitable visual representations to pursue them. Therefore, MRE is a useful, Synchronous meteorological satellite system description document, volume 3. Using a stratified multistage cluster sampling process, we gathered baseline data for a longitudinal survey of village doctors, village clinics from Changshu County, Liyang County, Yongchuan District, Mianzhu County, and Jingning County in China in 2011. These results are consistent with the assumption that GPIU is related to the social aspect of the internet (e.g., online chatting) and arises from the unique communicative environment found online. Strategies for accomplishing this goal are discussed in general and tested in. Utilization of community-based health planning and services compounds in the Kintampo North Municipality: a cross-sectional descriptive correlational study. As a result, a direct comparison between hemodynamic values should only be done when measured in the same conditions. These features motivate the introduction of Caputo time fractional derivatives and allows us to calculate analytic expressions for the fractional longitudinal velocity correlation function and its associated memory function. Walthall, Jennifer D H; Burgess, Aaron; Weinstein, Elizabeth; Miramonti, Charles; Arkins, Thomas; Wiehe, Sarah. Study 2 obtained paper-and-pen written descriptions, whereas participants completed descriptions in electronic format in Studies 3 and 4. Some of the exact conditions provided by the correlated orbital theory are employed to propose new non-empirical parameterizations for exchange-correlation functionals from Density Functional Theory (DFT). The functionals developed here, CAM-QTP-02 and LC-QTP, show mitigated self-interaction error, correctly predict vertical ionization potentials as the negative of eigenvalues for occupied orbitals, and provide nice excitation energies, even for challenging charge-transfer excited states. 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. It is important that this metallic phase undergoes the transition into the superconducting state; as a result, our analysis is directly related to the origin of high T(sub c). The child and adolescent trichotillomania impact project: descriptive psychopathology, comorbidity, functional impairment, and treatment utilization. Regulatory authorities require that the sample size of a confirmatory trial is calculated prior to the start of the trial. These mechanisms evolve typically on the femtosecond (1 fs=10(-15) s) or sub-femtosecond timescale. Of the 205 rectal samples returned and eligible for testing, 38 (18.5%) were positive for at least one STI. Quality of Austrian and Dutch Falls-Prevention Information: A Comparative Descriptive Study, Schoberer, Daniela; Mijnarends, Donja M.; Fliedner, Monica; Halfens, Ruud J. G.; Lohrmann, Christa, Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the quality of written patient information material available in Austrian and Dutch hospitals and nursing homes pertaining to falls prevention. In addition, subsystem and component descriptions and performance analyses are treated in individual sections. The importance of correlational research has been reported in the literature yet few research texts discuss design in any detail. Smoking (p = .0001), alcohol consumption (p = .001), and birth order (p = .006) predicted self-report of rape. Poor intertester reliability of traditional foot measures might contribute to the inconsistency. Well-trained interviewers and strict procedures were employed to ensure the quality of this survey. Overall, the SCHEMA algorithm may be useful for delineating quantitative design principles to guide the creation of libraries enriched in genome-protecting virus nanoparticles that can effectively transduce cells. A hierarchic regression analysis revealed that the perceived social support and internal health locus of control significantly contributed to the prediction of life satisfaction after demographic, illness-related, and stress-related variables were controlled. Rectal and vaginal swabs were tested for Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Trichomonas vaginalis using nucleic acid amplification tests. This reparameterization process is based on range-separated functionals with 100% exact exchange for long-range interelectronic interactions. We also find that Mermin-Ardehali-Belinskii-Klyshko inequalities may not always be optimal for refutation of local realistic description. These results suggest that the correspondence between descriptive and functional analyses, at least for inappropriate mealtime behavior, may be higher than that for other forms of problem behavior.
