Using MATLAB(c) to design a program that analyze and compare zero correlation zone codes with various orthogonal and pseudo noise seeds
No full textUnder the direction of Dr. Ernest L. Walker, professor of electrical engineering at Southern University and A & M College, Baton Rouge, LA, the author conducted research under the DOE-NNSA Dr. Samuel P. Massie Chair of Excellence grant, and the AFRL grant. Under these grants the author research information on Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) sequence for Ad hoc Wireless Sensing Networks (AWSN). The focus of this research was to simulate and analyzing CDMA code sets known as the zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) coding, and how its usage reduces multiple access interference (MAI), and the effects of the near far problem. ZCZ coding is a fairly new coding method and not a lot of analysis tools were available for the research. This presented a problem; without the proper analysis tools it was difficult to perform the desired analysis on the code. Using MATLAB and its Graphic User Interface Development Environment (GUIDE) the author designed a program that simulated and analyzed ZCZ codes with various seeds, and this is what this thesis will cover

The impact of different dietary patterns on nutritional status and metabolic integrity in asymptomatic people living with HIV infection in South Africa
No full textAdequate nutritional status promotes optimal structure and function. In PLWH, few studies
on the impact of dietary intake on nutritional and metabolic status have been undertaken.
This cross-sectional secondary data analysis examined how different dietary patterns
influenced nutritional and metabolic integrity in asymptomatic PLWH in the North-West
Province of South Africa. Dietary data were collected using validated QFFQ. Data analysis
was by SPSS version 14. Dietary and nutrient patterns were generated using Principal
Component Analysis. Though asymptomatic, marked biochemical differences depicting
altered metabolism and inflammation were observed in PLWH compared to the uninfected.
PLWH also showed an anthropometric profile that depicted altered body composition and
abnormal fat distribution. Four dietary patterns: animal-based, ‘recommended’, staple, and
the Carbohydrate, Vegetable and Legumes (CVL) based were observed in both PLWH
and the uninfected with slight differences. In PLWH, the animal-based similar to the CVL
pattern was associated with better overall nutrient intake (r=0.5, p<0.001) and selected
nutrients, including energy (r=0.3, p<0.001), protein (r=0.6, p<0.001), iron (r=0.5, p<0.001),
zinc (r=0.6, p<0.001) and vitamin A (r=0.5, p<0.001), compared to the other dietary
patterns. The animal based dietary pattern also predicted higher BMI (OR=2.2, 95%
CI=0.9-5.0), LBM (3.6, 1.3-10.4), serum albumin (1.5, 0.9-2.4) and lower liver enzymes
AST (0.5, 0.3-0.8) and ALT (0.6, 0.4-0.9). Using Graphical Chain Modelling, higher intake
of the animal-based but lower staple-based dietary patterns were associated with better
overall nutrient intake, serum vitamins A, E, lipid score, albumin, BMI and LBM suggesting
that intake of this diet may provide better nutrient quality, enhancing nutritional status and
metabolic proficiency, which may ultimately influence disease progression. The findings
have implications for dietary guidelines for this population but further research is required.
However, if these findings are true, then a predominantly animal-based diet may be
‘recommended’ for this population. Moreover, the longer term implications of high fat
intake associated with the animal based dietary pattern on obesity and associated risks
should be considered. This poses a challenge to imperatively weigh up the longer term
risks of the overall population profile crucial for public health

The Effects of Visits by Authors of Children's Books in Selected Elementary Schools
No full textGuest author visits are popular events in schools across the United States. Little has been written, however, on a single author doing a single presentation in a school. This study addressed that situation. The study utilized two authors visiting four schools in a large North Central Texas school district

Revised estimates and projections of international migration : 1980-2000
No full textThis report reviews the World Bank's latest international migration statistics for every country in the world for each five year period from 1980 - 2000. The estimates and projections of net international migration during this period will be used as input statistics for the forthcoming edition of the World Population Projections. In the early 1980s, net international migration to all receiving countries totaled more than 1.2 million persons a year. The author assumes this figure to gradually decrease to fewer than 900,000 persons a year in the period 1995 - 2000. The current male dominance of international migration flows is also expected to decrease. He also assumes that the importance of the United States as a prime destination of immigrants will increase substantially in the 1990s. Mexico is by far the largest net exporter of international migrants.Human Migrations&Resettlements,Voluntary and Involuntary Resettlement,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,International Migration,Gender and Social Development
