Theses and Dissertations
The objectives of this thesis are
1. to provide a comprehensive guide to using Pocock's group sequential method for clinical trials and
2. to show by computer simulations that the group sequential method is appropriate when using the logistic regression model.
In section 1.2, clinical trials are defined with an emphasis on Phase III clinical trials. The primary intent of sections 1.2 and 1.3 is to describe clinical trial characteristics which suggest that interim analyses are desirable. In section 1.4, it is shown that interim analyses should not consist of performing the usual significance tests. Chapter 1, then, describes the …
Influence Of Hospital Communication On Health Supervision Of High-Risk Infants, Alda L. Forte
Influence Of Hospital Communication On Health Supervision Of High-Risk Infants, Alda L. Forte
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The study was conducted to explore the extent to which communication about high-risk infants identified prior to hospital discharge, influences the public health nursing supervision to these infants during the neonatal period. A high-risk infant was defined as one that stands a greater than average chance of developing neonatal, life threatening disease or sequellae (physical, intellectual, or social handicap) due usually to maternal health or social factors, infant factors such as length of gestation, birth trauma, or complications at birth. The hypothesis tested was that when high-risk infants are identified prior to hospital discharge and this information communicated on the …

An Easy Access Interactive Statistical System For Use And Training In Biometry, Amos Addison Slaymaker Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
One of the most important tools of the applied statistician is the digital computer. It is natural, therefore, for the instructor in applied statistics to want his students to become familiar with the use of computers. If his students are going to get actual experience in using a computer for statistical analysis, he often has only two alternatives. The students can be required to write their own statistical programs or they can use programs already available through a computer facility.
If the course is to be taught such that each student is responsible for his own programs, the instructor must …
Depression And Uncooperativeness In Public Health Patients, P. Sherrill Baugher, Nancy Lynn Swan
Depression And Uncooperativeness In Public Health Patients, P. Sherrill Baugher, Nancy Lynn Swan
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to determine whether uncooperative behavior and a quantitative measurement of depression exist in the same patient in a public health nurse's caseload. Seven full-time public health nurses were randomly selected from the San Bernardino Public Health Department staff. They reviewed their caseloads and selected all the patients who met the general criteria.
Patients were then classified as cooperative or uncooperative based on the following specific criteria: (1) gives unreliable information, (2) uses the nurse as a "buffer" between helping agencies, (3) demands immediate gratification of requests in a stressful situation, (4) makes only token …

I. Existence Of Eigenvalues For Integral Equations; Ii. A Collocation Method For Boundary Value Problems, Robert Dodd Russell
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
I. The existence of eigenvalues is shown for certain classes of integral equations with continuous kernels. A number of interesting and useful results are thereby treated in a unified and relatively elementary way. The simplicity of these new proofs make the results accessible to introductory courses on the theory of integral equations.
II. Collocation with piecewise polynomial functions is developed as a method for solving two-point bour:rlary value problems. Convergence is shown for a general class of linear problems and a rather broad class of nonlinear problems. Some computational examples are presented to illustrate the wide applicability and efficiency of …

The Psychological Needs Of Hospital Dietary Supportive Personnel, Ralph Morales Jr.
The Psychological Needs Of Hospital Dietary Supportive Personnel, Ralph Morales Jr.
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
Achieving objectives in hospital food service systems is made more critical by the increasing rate of labor turnover. One of the major emphases that seems to offer promise for solving certain current manpower problems is a better understanding of the factors which may contribute to turnover. A quantitative approach to the identification of human needs in the work environment should provide information relevant to more effective planning and utilization of human resources.
The purpose of this research was to determine if by examining the psychological needs of hospital dietary supportive personnel, information could be derived for more objective management of …

An In Vivo Perfusion Apparatus For Studies On Gingival Disease In The Albino Rat : Assessment By A Perfusion Of The Enzymes Collagenase And Hyaluronidase, James A. Smith
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This thesis describes an in vivo perfusion apparatus which can continuously deliver controlled quantities of solutions to localized, contralateral intraoral areas in albino rats. Three animals were per fused on the experimental area (the mesial sulcular area of the maxillary first molar) on one side with tap water and Trypan blue. Localization of the solution delivered and minimal histological changes due to the presence of the apparatus was demonstrated on these animals. Solutions of .5%, 1%, and 2% hyaluronidase and collagenase were perfused on the experimental areas of nine animals. When both enzymes were used, hyaluronidase always preceded collagenase in …
Solutions Of The Problem Of Finding Confidence Intervals For The Two Normal Population With Unequal Variances, Ing-Haur Liu
Solutions Of The Problem Of Finding Confidence Intervals For The Two Normal Population With Unequal Variances, Ing-Haur Liu
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Comparison of the means of two normal populations is a simpler problem when the variance (if unknown) are assumed to be equal than it is when they are not equal. The main concern of this report is the latter case also called the Behrens [4] - Fisher [5] problem.
In this report the solutions proposed by Behrens-Fisher, Scheffe [10], Welch [12], Banerjee [3] and Hajek [8], will be described and compared. To this problem Scheffe proposed a solution which has the advantage that no special table is necessary for its use, since the variate has an exact "Student's t" distribution. …
Nonparametric Test Of Fit, Frena Nawabi
Nonparametric Test Of Fit, Frena Nawabi
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
Most statistical methods require assumptions about the populations from which samples are taken. Usually these methods measure the parameters, such as variance, standard deviations, means, etc., of the respective populations. One example is the assumption that a given population can be approximated closely with a normal curve. Since these assumptions are not always valid, statisticians have developed several alternate techniques known as nonparametric tests. The models of such tests do not specify conditions about population parameters.
Certain assumptions, such as (1) observations are independent and (2) the variable being studied has underlying continuity, are associated with most nonparametric tests. However, …

A Fortran List Processor (Flip), Karl A. Fugal
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A series of Basic Assembler Language subroutines were developed and made available to the FORTRAN IV language processor which makes list processing possible in a flexible and easily understood way.
The subroutine will create and maintain list structures in the computer's core storage. The subroutines are sufficiently general to permit FORTRAN programmers to tailor list processing routines to their own individual requirements. List structure sizes are limited only by the amount of core storage available.
Bayesian Estimate Of System Reliability, Naresh Shah
Bayesian Estimate Of System Reliability, Naresh Shah
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
A Bayesian estimate of reliability for each component in the system of n-components, each exponentially distributed, is developed which utilizes the basic notion of loss in estimation theory. Here we assume that each component is independently distributed. In reliability estimation, the loss associated with overestimation is usually greater than the loss associated with underestimation; and hence loss function can be a very useful tool. The prior distribution and loss function of reliability considered in this paper are flexible to be compatible with other situations in which reliability estimates are required. When the loss function is symmetric and no prior information …
Periodontal Pocket Reduction Following Gingival Curettage, Robert B. Tandy
Periodontal Pocket Reduction Following Gingival Curettage, Robert B. Tandy
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purpose of this study was to evaluate pocket reduction following gingival curettage. The effects of temporary pressure packing, inflammation, oral hygiene, pocket depth, age and sex of the patient were evaluated.
Three hundred twenty-eight periodontal pockets were studied in forty-one adult patients selected with interdental lesions ranging from 3.0 - 7.5 mm. in depth. Pocket depth and gingival height were measured preoperatively, one month postoperatively and two months postoperatively. The mean change in pocket depth and gingival height was calculated and statistical significance was determined for all measurements.
The results show that after a two-month postoperative evaluation following gingival …
A Report On The Statistical Properties Of The Coefficient Of Variation And Some Applications, Howard P. Irvin
A Report On The Statistical Properties Of The Coefficient Of Variation And Some Applications, Howard P. Irvin
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Examples from four disciplines were used to introduce the coefficient of variation which was considered to have considerable usage and application in solving Quality Control and Reliability problems.
The statistical properties were found in the statistical literature and are presented, namely, the mean and the variance of the coefficient of variation. The cumulative probability function was determined by two approximate methods and by using the noncentral t distribution. A graphical method to determine approximate confidence intervals and a method to determine if the coefficients of variation from two samples were significantly different from each other are also provided (with examples). …
Model For Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate: Monte Carlo Study, Glen S. Leithead
Model For Bathtub-Shaped Hazard Rate: Monte Carlo Study, Glen S. Leithead
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A new model developed for the entire bathtub-shaped hazard rate curve has been evaluated as to its usefulness as a method of reliability estimation. The model is of the form:
F(t) = 1 - exp - (ϴ1tL + ϴ2t + ϴ3tM)
where "L" and "M" were assumed known.
The estimate of reliability obtained from the new model was compared with the traditional restricted sample estimate for four different time intervals and was found to have less bias and variance for all time points.
This was a monte carlo study and the …

A Study To Demonstrate The Immediate Destination Of An Embolus Formed In The Lumen Of A Peripheral Venous Catheter, Rosemarie Morikone Emori
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This study was designed to show the immediate destination of an embolus formed in the lumen of an intravenous catheter placed in a peripheral vessel. The hypothesis stated that clots injected into a peripheral vessel will lodge in the lungs. A subhypothesis was that the clot may lodge anywhere along the circulatory pathway.
Indications of need for the study as shown by the review of literature were the following: (1) the complications resulting from the frequent use of intravenous polyethylene catheters, (2) experimental studies that showed that clots were formed around intravenous catheters, (3) the evidence that intravenous catheters predispose …

An Analysis Of Orthodontic Treatment Results Employing Class Ii Armstrong Adjustable Intermaxillary Springs, Michael E. Shumate
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
A study of orthodontic treatment results employing Class II Armstrong Adjustable Intermaxillary Springs was made on twenty-eight randomly selected patients which were treated by Dr. Maclay Armstrong.
The skeletal and dental changes observed during treatment with the Class II springs was compared with those results observed when comparable type malocclusions were treated with Class II elastics. A list of changes which were observed during treatment with Class II elastics was compiled from the literature using individual studies published by Ricketts, Creekmore and Hanes.
The study was based on the findings observed in the initial and final cephalometric radiographs. A statistical …
A Comparative Roentgenographic Cephalometric Study Of The Facial Profile Of Orthodontic Patients Treated At Loma Linda University With Winners Of The "Smiles Of The Year" Contest, Romeo I. Stoll
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The "Smiles of the Year" winners and patients treated at Loma Linda University by the extraction or non-extraction approach were compared by linear and angular variables of skeletal, dental and soft tissue components. These findings were analyzed statistically to determine significant differences in the profile and detect the relationship between the integument and hard structures.
The following conclusions were drawn from this investigation to reflect the trend of treatment at Loma Linda University.
- After treatment the patients had less skeletal convexity, but were more convexity than established standards.
- The incisors of the patients treated by the extraction approach were less …

Opset Program For Computerized Selection Of Watershed Parameter Values For The Stanford Watershed Model, Earnest Yuan-Shang Liou, L. Douglas James
Opset Program For Computerized Selection Of Watershed Parameter Values For The Stanford Watershed Model, Earnest Yuan-Shang Liou, L. Douglas James
KWRRI Research Reports
The advent of high-speed electronic computer made it possible to model complex hydrologic processes by mathematical expressions and thereby simulate streamflows from climatological data. The most widely used program is the Stanford Watershed Model, a digital parametric model of the land phase of the hydrologic cycle based on moisture accounting processes. It can be used to simulate annual or longer flow sequences at hourly time intervals. Due to its capability of simulating historical streamflows from recorded climatological data, it has a great potential in the planning and design of water resources systems. However, widespread use of the Stanford Watershed Model …
The Mean In Statistics, Rex E. Babcock
The Mean In Statistics, Rex E. Babcock
Honors Theses
When one speaks of how statistics have been utilized in decades past there is much to say. However, it is even more astonishing when one speaks of the utilization of statistics today. The use of statistics is widespread virtually over all of the world today, and is put to use in such fields as surveys, census, psychometrics, and almost every business, vocation, and employment that may come to one's mind. But I wish to confine myself to the mean in statistics; I will even make another boundary on myself by discussing only the arithmetic mean, geometric mean, harmonic mean, and …
Analysis Of Heat Transfer In A Two-Layer Circular Cylinder:Constant Flux On Outer Surface And Zero Flux On Inner Surface, Mary Elena Franklin
Analysis Of Heat Transfer In A Two-Layer Circular Cylinder:Constant Flux On Outer Surface And Zero Flux On Inner Surface, Mary Elena Franklin
Mathematics & Statistics ETDs
The one-dimensional time-dependent equation of heat conduction is solved analytically for an infinite two-layer circular cylinder whose core may be either hollow or solid. On the outer surface of the cylinder, which has no heat loss due to convection, a constant heat flux from an external source of heating is applied uniformly. The layers are in perfect thermal contact, and there is no heat loss at their interface. At the smaller radius of the inner layer is a perfect insulator so that the heat flux on the inner surface of the two-layer cylinder is zero. The temperature is uniform initially …

The Effect Of Removing The Crevicular Epithelium Upon Canine Tooth Replantation, Leon A. Leonard
The Effect Of Removing The Crevicular Epithelium Upon Canine Tooth Replantation, Leon A. Leonard
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The nature of epithelium and the remarkable facility with which it aggressively covers granulation tissue, suggests that removal of the sulcular epithelium surrounding the extraction wound of a tooth to be replanted could promote reattachment of the periodontal tissues at a more nearly ideal coronal level. To investigate this hypothesis twenty mature teeth in five mongrel dogs were experimentally replanted. One half of them were replanted in alveoli around which the crevicular epithelium had been removed, the remaining teeth without creviculoectomy acting as controls. Animals were euthanized at one, two, three, five, and sixteen weeks. After clinical evaluation of the …
