Examination of Driver Lane Change Behavior and the Potential Effectiveness of Warning Onset Rules for Lane Change or "Side" Crash Avoidance Systems
Lane change or "Side" Crash Avoidance Systems (SCAS) technologies are becoming available to help alleviate the lane change crash problem. They detect lane change crash hazards and warn the driver of the presence of such hazards. This thesis examines driver lane change behavior and evaluates the …

Current Genetic Counseling Practice Following Positive Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing For Sex Chromosome Abnormalities
… extremely comfortable counseling patients about SCAs. However, prenatal respondents in the field for45,X (p88%) and anatomy ultrasound (~90%), but the percent consistently offering maternal karyotype (22-52%) and postnatal evaluation (28-87%) varied. Maternal karyotype was offered more often when …

The Speaking Cognitions and Attention Scale: An Empirically-Derived Measure of Public Speaking Anxiety
… 30-item Speaking Cognitions and Attention Scale (SCAS). Data indicated that in the current sample the SCAS displayed a three-factor solution, with factors composed of items reflecting positive self-statements, negative self-statements, and catastrophic self-statements. The scale also demonstrated …

MONITORING OF NORTH AMERICAN SNOW COVER AND ENSO EFFECTS
… analyzed using MATLAB HDF import tool to measure SCAs and to create Climate Model Grid (CMG) maps. The largest SCA in individual month (21.16 M.Km2) and in individual year (11.39 M.Km2) were reported in January, 2001 and 2001, respectively. The maximum effect of El Nino occurred in April, where …

An evaluation of the environmental fate of reactive dyes
… consortia (semi-continuous activated sludge, SCAS) aerobic degradation of azo and anthraquinone reactive dyes was studied. Two azo dyes were degraded by pure cultures of A docunhae and A 9046, suggesting that azo dyes can be aerobically degraded given favourable conditions. The antraquinone …

Defining a Neuroprotective Pathway for the Treatment of Ataxias
Spinocerebellar Ataxias (SCAs) are a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive ataxia caused by neurodegeneration of specific cell types, namely Purkinje Cells (PCs) of the cerebellum. Mouse models of SCA Type 1 (SCA1) can be used to study the molecular mechanisms underlying PC …

Patient Understanding of Fetal Sex Versus Gender in the Context of Routine Cell-Free DNA Screening
… NIPT screens for sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs) and in doing so, can predict fetal chromosomal sex. Despite sex and gender being distinct concepts, many patients refer to NIPT as “the gender test” and elect testing in order to find out predicted fetal sex and assume gender. Our study aimed …

SCA-Resistant and High-Performance Embedded Cryptography Using Instruction Set Extensions and Multi-Core Processors
… cryptography enable Side-Channel Attacks (SCAs), which can break cryptographic implementations in a very short time with a quite low cost. In this dissertation, we propose solutions to efficient implementation of SCA-resistant and high-performance cryptographic software on embedded systems. …

Meaning-Making in Student Conduct Administration: A Developmental Perspective
… and action logic expression for nine SCAs. In stage one, an analysis of narrative was constructed, coded for meaning-making characteristics, and an action logic hypothesis was formed. In stage two, three methods of triangulation generated additional insights. These included member …

A genetic study of resistance to kernel infection by Aspergillus flavus in maize (Zea mays L.)
… potential performance with desired GCAs and SCAs could be exploited to develop resistant lines in breeding programs and to produce resistant hybrids. The reciprocal effects in the crosses across years reflected the presence of maternal effects in the maize kernel. These effects were partly …
