Bayesian Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Trajectories and Health Outcome: A Broad Evaluation of Mean and Variation Features in Risk Profiles and Model Assessments.
(2014)
This dissertation consists of methodology developments and applications for joint modeling of repeated measurements of health risk factors (i.e., longitudinal trajectories) and health outcome data. In the first chapter, ...
Laser‐driven hydrodynamic perturbation in an overdense Z‐pinch plasma
(The American Institute of Physics, 1979-04)
Holographic interferometry of the interaction of a radially incident intense CO2 laser beam (1011 W/cm2, 38‐nsec FWHM pulse) with an overdense helium Z‐pinch plasma (ne≳1019 e/cm3, Te∼20 eV, L=100 μm) has indicated the ...
Direct measurements bearing on the question of the nighttime heating mechanism in the ionosphere
(Elsevier, 1967-01)
Langmuir probe measurements of electron temperature and density were made in the upper F-region on two different occasions near local midnight. The experiments were carried out at Fort Churchill, Canada, and at Wallops ...
Diagnosis and prevalence of uterine leiomyomata in female chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes )
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2011-07)
Uterine leiomyomata are common, affecting 70–80% of women between 30 and 50 years of age. Leiomyomata have been reported for a variety of primate species, although prevalence rates and treatments have not been widely ...
Substrate preferences of Campeloma decisum and Elimia livescens: influence of species interaction and substrate tenacity.
(2001)
This investigation sought to examine if substrate choice among the freshwater operculate snails Campeloma decisum and Elimia livescens in Douglas Lake, Cheboygan County, Michigan could be explained by species interaction ...
Does schooling reduce fast-start response latencies in teleosts?
(Elsevier, 1980)
1. 1. Response latencies, denned as the time between a d.c. electric shock and initiation of a fast-start (startle response) were measured for eight species of teleosts.2. 2. Fast-start response latencies varied from 10 ...
Differential operators commuting with invariant functions
(Birkhäuser Verlag; Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel, ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-10)
Let be a reductive, complex Lie algebra, with adjoint group G , let G act on the ring of differential operators via the adjoint action and write for the differential of this action. We prove that the commutant, in , of is ...
Influence of Mn dopants on InAs/GaAs quantum dot electronic states

Social interactions between captive adult male and infant lowland gorillas: Implications regarding kin selection and zoo management
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999)
Interactions between unrelated and related silverback-infant dyads are compared in an attempt to assess the influence that kinship may have on male parental behavior. Observational data were collected on each member of two ...
Environmental influences on mountain gorilla time budgets
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988)
Data on the time budgets of mountain gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla beringei ) were collected during field studies in the Virunga Volcanoes region of Rwanda and Zaire. Focal sampling was used to determine the proportion of ...
