Physics in Screening Environments
In the current study, we investigated atoms in screening environments likeplasmas.It is common practice to extract physical data, such as temperature andelectron densities, from plasma experiments. We present results that addressinherent computational difficulties that arise when the screening …

Screening the Safety Net
… lack of resources to tackle the needs presented. Screening programs set up for children and elderly have proven to be effective in triaging need, prioritizing care, and maximizing resources. These programs do not currently exist for working uninsured adults. Research was initiated to answer the …

The Limits of Screening
This thesis is about screening for cancer—about testing healthy individuals for disease. The traditional way to approach this subject is to begin by considering whether screening is effective. So, for example, there is a hearty debate about whether cancer screening reduces mortality to a meaningful …

Newborn Pulse Oximetry Screening
… Zealand to introduce nationwide pulse oximetry screening for the detection of these anomalies in newborns. Data from national databases were merged to compile a dataset of infants and fetuses with critical cardiac disease in New Zealand between 2006 and 2015, which was interrogated to determine …

Multiple-Element Contingency Screening
… and line flow information. The output of the screening algorithms is compared to the full set of results for the double-outage contingency analysis, solved using the dc power flow. The results show that, even using a very limited amount of information about the system, it is possible to …

Civilian Aviation Screening: A Time-Series Analysis of Confiscated Firearms at Screening Checkpoints
<p>This study investigated the aviation screening process and sought to determine if the federalization of the screening process had any effect on the number of firearm confiscations at civilian aviation screening checkpoints. The hypothesis of the study was that airport screening firearms …

Stability of Universal Screening Over Time: An Examination of the Student Risk Screening Scale
<p>Universal screening is a proactive method to identify students that are at risk for social-emotional and behavior (SEB) problems and provide information to schools to support early intervention for at risk children. Current recommendations for practice indicate screening should be conducted at …

Optimal Screening for Preclinical Diseases
… during which they can be identified only by a screening test. In many such cases, early detection translates into benefits of more treatment options and potentially better prognosis. In this dissertation, we consider the optimal policy to screen for a preclinical disease while under limited …

High Throughput Screening of Aptamers
… discovery method we are calling High Throughput Screening of Aptamers (HTSA), which incorporates two additional elements that eliminate the cyclic evolution bottleneck in traditional aptamer discovery methods, and expedite the discovery process with no complex automation required. We designed a …

Perinatal depression screening program evaluation
… Scale (EPDS) is an effective and well-accepted screening method for identifying PMADs. The findings from a literature review emphasized the clinical importance of screening as well as the value of a quality improvement approach. The objective of this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project was …

Statistical methods for spatial screening
<p>Military bases that have been used for weapon-testing and training usually are contaminated with unexploded ordnance (UXO). These sites can be returned to public use only after UXO remediation. The cleaning-up procedure is usually very expensive and time-consuming. This demands statistical tools …

A better FIT: Risk stratification of screening intervals and FIT thresholds in bowel cancer screening
… with a higher risk gain substantially more from screening than those at low risk. Risk stratification has therefore been suggested to improve the balance of screening harms and benefits, and to accommodate resource limitations. Within the bowel cancer screening pathway, risk stratification could …
