Evaluating the implementation of Smile4life: a theoretically driven exploration
My thesis is a theoretically informed evaluation of the implementation of an ongoing national policy intervention: Smile4life, Scotland’s national oral health improvement programme for people experiencing homelessness. This work was initially conceived following a process evaluation of Smile4life …

Theoretically-efficient and practical parallel in-place radix sorting
Radix sort stands out for having a better worse case theoretical bound than any comparison-based sort, for fixed length integers. Despite the fact that radix sort can be implemented either in-place or in parallel, there exists no parallel in-place implementation for radix sort that guarantees a …

Unification -Based Paradigmatic Morphology: A Theoretically -Motivated Approach to Computational Morphology
This approach has been implemented in Prolog, a language particularly suited for applications based on unification. The contribution of this thesis to the field of computational morphology is discussed and contrasted with other approaches such as the finite-state and the inheritance network …

A modern econometric approach to estimating theoretically consistent demand systems of retail brands
This paper conducts an empirical investigation of the cake mix and frosting demand system using daily data on sales figures, prices and marketing mix variables. SUR maximum likelihood is used to estimate static and dynamic (error correction) linear almost ideal demand systems. Results compare …

Validation of FWD Testing Results at the Virginia Smart Road: Theoretically and by Instrument Responses
… sensors. To validate the backcalculated moduli theoretically and through instrument response, this research was conducted with following objectives: 1) to determine the resilient moduli of the unbound granular materials on the Virginia Smart Road using small and large plates of the FWD; 2) to …

Theoretically Valid Aggregates in the Absence of Homothetic Preferences, Separable Utility, and Complete Price Data
The improper aggregation of commodities can have important consequences when estimating a system of group demand equations. Generally, aggregates are created under the assumptions that intra-group preferences are homothetic and the consumer's utility function is weakly separable over some …

Method for theoretically determining the locus and location of the transmission zeros in microwave filter networks
This dissertation presents a theoretical investigation of a practical method to determine quantitatively the locations and loci of complex transmission zeros (TZ's) of positively and negatively cross-coupled RF or microwave bandpass filter networks. Bandpass filters can be effectively designed by …

A theoretically-based curriculum incorporating reading to learn and writing to learn in sixth-grade social studies
The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretically-based social studies curriculum that incorporated research related to schema theory, reading to learn theory, and writing to learn theory. Learning principles and instructional principles were derived from each theory to serve as guidelines …

The development of a theoretically-informed intervention to improve the antibiotic prescribing behaviour of dentists in primary care in Scotland
<b>Background</b>: Despite the publication of national dental guidance recommending the minimal use of antibiotics, evidence suggests that antibiotics continue to be prescribed when there is no clinical indication. <br/><br/><b>Aim</b>: The aim of this thesis was to apply the Theoretical Domains …

The Longitudinal Association of Neighborhood Stress and Sexual Risk Behaviors and Outcomes among Black Adolescents: Main Effects and Theoretically-Informed Mediation
<p>Neighborhood stress stemming from exposure to physical and social decay, as well as violence and crime may be a critical risk factor for risky sexual behaviors among adolescents. The present study sought to: 1) characterize the prospective association of neighborhood stress with adolescent …

Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP): An Examination of the Impact of Response Options Theoretically Deemed as Contextual Relations versus Relational Coherence Indicators
The aims of the current research programme were to investigate the use of different response options (e.g., contextually cued relational responding (Crels) or relational coherence indicators (RCIs)) in the implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP). In each of the four studies, participants …

The Theoretical Usefulness of Pluralistic Constitution Theory
… of constitution can be non-identical) is a theoretically useful notion. First, I propose a principle whose denial is sufficient and, to my knowledge, necessary for pluralism to be true. Then I formulate three metaphysical antinomies (the problem of material constitution, the problem of …

Network goods, piracy, and firm strategies in the global economy
… the strategic reaction of software producers are theoretically and empirically investigated. Five independent but interrelated research topics are included. First, income effect on critical mass and sustainable prices in the presence of network effects is studied theoretically. Second, how piracy …

A study of modal-space control of a beam-cable structure: experiment and theory
… and to simulate study were to implement theoretically a method of active vibration control, known as modal-space control, on a relatively simple beam-cable structure. The control was implemented in analog form and provided modal viscous damping in each of the three modes of the structure. …

Sequential Designs with Application in Software Engineering
… using partition testing. We have shown both theoretically and through simulation that the proposed scheme always performs at least as well as fixed sampling approaches where test case allocation is predetermined, and in all but the most unlikely circumstances, outperform them. Based on the …

Stable Spatial Solitons In Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
… solitons. In this dissertation it is shown theoretically and experimentally that it is possible to observe stable spatial solitons in a periodically patterned semiconductor optical amplifier (PPSOA). The solitons have unique beam profiles that change only with system parameters, like pumping …

Quantum Crystallography of Hydronium Cations
… In a second investigation we reported the first theoretically confirmed transition state of a H7O3+conformer captured within a crystal. A third product from our efforts was the theoretically viable, cubic arrangement of 3[H3O+]3[H2O]2[OH-] derived from the observed behavior of hydronium cationic …
