Understanding the multi-faceted patient experience after spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)
… Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) has emerged as an important cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). SCAD disproportionally affects younger to middle-aged women. There is a considerable burden of adverse psychosocial outcomes including anxiety, depression and …

An Investigation of Male Observation Cases That Had Been Charged With Murder to Compare Those Diagnosed With Schizophrenia to Those Diagnosed With Bipolar or Schizoaffective Disorders
… a diagnosis of bipolar/schizoaffective disorder (SCAD). The mean age of the sample was 32.54 years (range: 17-50). Most had a secondary school level of education and were unemployed. There were no sociodemographic differences between the two groups. Persecutory delusions were the most common …

Effect of helium injection on diffusion dominated air ingress accidents in pebble bed reactors
… to validate the sustained counter air diffusion (SCAD) method at preventing natural circulation onset in diffusion dominated air ingress accidents. The analysis presented in this thesis starts with a vertically oriented rupture of a coaxial pipe. Air enters into the reactor cavity at a rate …

Applications of multivariate analysis to understand the dynamics of African conflicts
… quantitative data from a secondary source named SCAD (Social Conflict Analysis Database). SCAD contains conflict events such as protests, riots, strikes, inter-communal conflict, government violence against civilians, and other forms of social conflicts reported on 48 African countries from 1990 …

Efeito dos ácidos etilmalônico e metilsucínico sobre alguns parâmetros do sistema glutamatérgico e de estresse oxidativo em cérebro de ratos
… desidrogenase de acil-CoA de cadeia curta (SCAD) é um erro inato do metabolismo potencialmente letal que afeta o último ciclo da oxidação de ácidos graxos. O bloqueio da rota na conversão de n-butiril-CoA a acetil-CoA resultante da deficiência enzimática leva ao acúmulo tecidual e aumento da …

Variable screening and model selection in censored quantile regression via sparse penalties and stepwise refinement
… with the penalized regression method: LASSO and SCAD, one can perform variable screening for the censored data at quantiles of interest. Furthermore, we establish the asymptotic property, and illustrate the methodology in the context of ultrasound safety study.

Efeito in vitro dos ácidos etilmalônico e metilsucínico sobre as atividades enzimáticas dos complexos da cadeia respiratória mitocondrial e da creatina quinase em córtex cerebral, músculo esquelético e músculo cardíaco de ratos jovens
… de desidrogenase das acil-CoA de cadeia curta (SCAD) é um erro inato do metabolismo devido a um defeito no último ciclo de β-oxidação, sendo específica para ácidos graxos de cadeia curta (4 a 6 carbonos), resultando no acúmulo de ácidos orgânicos de cadeia curta, principalmente dos ácidos …

Variable selection for high-dimensional complex data
… proposed method with the Lasso penalty and the SCAD penalty enjoys strong sign consistency in both finite-dimensional and high-dimensional settings under regularity conditions. Numerical studies and the ‘HapMap’ gene data application also confirm that the proposed method outperforms the …

Aspects of the Self and Psychological Outcomes
… and the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) via an online survey. Students completed the IFS Scale and the 10-item Center for Epidemiology Depression Scale (CES-D 10). A significant, inverse correlation was found between the Self variable and depression outcomes. In addition, a stepwise …

Population Ecology of Invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) in the South Atlantic Bight
… main conclusion of this chapter is that round scad (Decapterus punctatus), sand perch (Diplectrum formosum) and black sea bass (Centropristis striata) are the most important prey items in the lionfish diet. Black sea bass are an important fishery in the South Atlantic Bight, and lionfish could …

Regulation of Volatile Fatty Acid Synthesis in Megasphaera Elsdenii and Hexanoic Acid Utilisation by Pseudomonas Putida
… of the short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD) in ATCC 25940 and mutants ME5 and ME7 were obtained and compared. However, no changes were seen which could explain the altered end-products. Likewise a minor change in the sequence of the electron-transferring flavoprotein was unlikely to …

Cylindrical Decomposition Under Application-Oriented Paradigms
Quantifier elimination (QE) is a powerful tool for problem solving. Once a problem is expressed as a formula, such a method converts it to a simpler, quantifier-free equivalent, thus solving the problem. Particularly many problems live in the domain of real numbers, which makes real QE very …

Mixed Effects Modeling and Correlation Structure Selection for High Dimensional Correlated Data
Longitudinal data arise frequently in many studies where measurements are obtained from a subject repeatedly over time. Consequently, measurements within a subject are correlated. We address two rather important but challenging issues in this thesis: mixed-effect modeling with unspecified random …

Model selection for correlated data and moment selection from high-dimensional moment conditions
High-dimensional correlated data arise frequently in many studies. My primary research interests lie broadly in statistical methodology for correlated data such as longitudinal data and panel data. In this thesis, we address two important but challenging issues: model selection for correlated data …
