Preparing Texts for Translation
(North Dakota State University, 2010)Tips on how to make your writing more understandable to translators, along with reasons why it's important to do so. -
Provision of Medication Therapy Management to University Faculty and Staff Members by Third-year Pharmacy Students
(2010)Objective. To develop and implement a medication therapy management (MTM) curriculum and assess students’ skills and attitudes after the provision of MTM services to faculty and staff members. -
Rolling-Stock Automatic In-Situ Line Deterioration and Operating Condition Sensing
(2013)Track and equipment failures dominate railroad accident causes. Railroads must visually inspect most tracks in service as often as twice weekly to comply with the Federal Track Safety Standards. They augment visual ... -
Comparison of Low- and Higher-Fidelity Simulation to Train and Assess Pharmacy Students' Injection Technique
(2013)Objective. To evaluate 2 forms of simulation used to train and assess third-year pharmacy students’ subcutaneous and intramuscular injection techniques. -
A Participatory Sensing Approach to Characterize Ride Quality
(2014)Rough roads increase vehicle operation and road maintenance costs. Consequently, transportation agencies spend a significant portion of their budgets on ride-quality characterization to forecast maintenance needs. The ... -
Inertial Sensor Sample Rate Selection for Ride Quality Measures
(2014)The Road Impact Factor is a measure of ride-quality. It is derived from the average inertial response of vehicles to road roughness. Unlike the International Roughness Index, the most common measure, the road impact ... -
Campus Parking Supply Impacts on Transportation Mode-Choice
(2014)Parking demand is a significant land-use problem in campus planning. The parking policies of universities and large corporations with facilities located in small urban areas shape the character of their campuses. These ... -
Precision Bounds of Pavement Deterioration Forecasts from Connected Vehicles
(2014)Transportation agencies rely on models to predict when pavements will deteriorate to a condition or ride-index threshold that triggers maintenance actions. The accuracy and precision of such forecasts are directly proportional ... -
A Connected Vehicle Approach for Pavement Roughness Evaluation
(2014)Connected vehicles present an opportunity to monitor pavement condition continuously by analyzing data from vehicle-integrated position sensors and accelerometers. The current practice of characterizing and reporting ... -
Precision Bounds of Pavement Distress Localization with Connected Vehicle Sensors
(2014)Continuous, network-wide monitoring of pavement performance will significantly reduce risks and provide an adequate volume of timely data to enable accurate maintenance forecasting. Unfortunately, transportation agencies ... -
Design and Evaluation of a Self-Care Educational Activity as a Student Learning Experience
(2014)Objective. To design an educational activity and evaluate its effectiveness on increasing third-year pharmacy students’ knowledge and confidence to recommend self-care products to patients. -
Hyperspectral Imaging Utility for Transportation Systems
(2015)The global transportation system is massive, open, and dynamic. Existing performance and condition assessments of the complex interacting networks of roadways, bridges, railroads, pipelines, waterways, airways, and ... -
Context Sensitive Solution: A Case Study of Northwest Highway White Rock Lake, Dallas in Texas
(2015)Loop 12 is the first ring around the city of Dallas. The project is a three-quarter mile section of Loop 12 on Northwest Highway. The project section of Northwest Highway is a set of six bridges that cross a 100-year ... -
Hyperspectral Applications in the Global Transportation Infrastructure
(2015)Hyperspectral remote sensing is an emerging field with potential applications in the observation, management, and maintenance of the global transportation infrastructure. This study introduces a general analytical framework ... -
Road Roughness Evaluation Using In-Pavement Strain Sensors
(2015)The international roughness index (IRI) is a characterization of road roughness or ride quality that transportation agencies most often report. The prevalent method of acquiring IRI data requires instrumented vehicles and ... -
Performance and Perceptions: Evaluation of Pharmacy Students' Consultation via Telepharmacy
(2015)Background: Pharmacy education standards highlight the importance of effective communication skills and the use of technology to provide patient care. As technology evolves, pharmacists have opportunities to communicate ... -
Accuracy Enhancement of Roadway Anomaly Localization Using Connected Vehicles
(2016)The timely identification and localization of roadway anomalies that pose hazards to the traveling public is currently a critical but very expensive task. Hence, transportation agencies are evaluating emerging alternatives ... -
Sourcing Strategy for Asphalt Production Feedstock Considering Multimodal Transport Options
(2016)This paper examines the logistics and distribution channels for importing heavy crude oil, which is a source of bitumen. The study conducts a sensitivity analysis to assess the suitability of existing or new distillery ... -
Pavement Performance Evaluations Using Connected Vehicles
(2016)The ability of any nation to support economic growth and commerce relies on their capacity to preserve and to sustain the performance of pavement assets. The ever-widening funding gap to maintain pavements challenges the ... -
Error Sensitivity of the Connected Vehicle Approach to Pavement Performance Evaluations
(2016)The international roughness index is the prevalent indicator used to assess and forecast road maintenance needs. The fixed parameters of its simulation model provide the advantage of requiring relatively few traversals ...
