Applicability of the Theory of Planned Behavior to explain clinicians’ intention to screen men who have sex with men for syphilis infection
… demonstrates the relative advantage of greater testing frequency in at-risk populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM) using both cost-effectiveness analyses and mathematical modeling. Despite this, frequency of screening for syphilis among MSM remains sub-optimal, and failure to screen …

Durability of Polymer /Metal Interfaces Under Cyclic Loading
… the results from the conventional mechanical testing technique. Large differences were found between these two methods. Using this newly developed technique, effects of loading mode and frequency were studied. The fatigue resistance was found to increase with the mode II component and was …

Memory Matters II: Predictors of Self-care Behaviors in Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes
… for 12% of the variance in blood glucose testing frequency (p p p p = .06. Single-trial verbal memory uniquely predicted 10% of the variance in metabolic control (p p < .05. Importantly, memory was the only significant predictor in each model, which indicates memory, rather than overall …

CHARACTERIZATION OF CRUSHED PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE RUBBLE AGGREGATE FOR URBAN ROADS
… City of Saskatoon stockpiles. Conventional testing completed on the samples included physical properties as required by COS aggregate specifications. Micro-Deval testing was also completed to compare the mechanical breakdown of the aggregates tested. Based on the results of the conventional …

Modelling and optimization of Safety Instrumented Systems based on dependability and cost measures
… The optimization strategies include design and testing policies. This encompasses optimization of design by redundancy and reliability allocation, use of diverse redundancy, inclusion of MooN voting systems and optimization of testing frequency and strategies. The project implements truly …

Trends and health economic aspects of service delivery of glaucoma
… than in younger eyes (<60 years). Furthermore, testing frequency was found not to vary by visual impairment risk factors. The constructed health economic model was subsequently updated to incorporate the more narrowly defined parameter distributions whilst also being re-specified to incorporate …

The effects of non-repeated single-unit, non-repeated cumulative, and repeated single-unit testing procedures on comprehensive final examination performance
… this study was to compare the effects of three testing procedures on comprehensive final examination performance. The 64 undergraduates used as subjects were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: a non-repeated single-unit, a non-repeated cumulative, or a repeated single-unit testing …

What It Means to Be a Man: Masculinity, Sexual Risk-Taking, and HIV Testing Behavior among Heterosexual African American Males
… as African American women 53% (CDC, 2007). HIV testing is important to the prevention of HIV/AIDS and can result in substantial reductions in risk behaviors (Marks, Crepaz, & Janssen, 2006; Weinhardt, Carey, Johnson, & Bickham, 1999). Masculinity, a man’s concept of what it means to be man, …

The relationship between gay community, other social networks, and HIV among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
… engagement with gay men is associated with HIV testing, PrEP uptake, and sexual behaviour. Chapter 3 is an analysis of self-reported HIV/STI testing frequency among GBMSM that shows gay social engagement is associated with more frequent STI testing. Chapter 4 uses survey data from the Asian …

Evaluating mode of loading effect and laboratory fatigue performance of asphalt concrete using viscoelastic continuum damage mechanics
… proposed methodology involves dynamic modulus testing to obtain viscoelastic properties and subsequent fatigue testing. Several asphalt concrete beams were tested according to the proposed methodology. The analysis of data indicates that there exists a unique relationship between the flexural …
