Understanding the decision to take the predictive test for Huntington disease
(John Wiley & Sons, 1991-06)The predictive test for Huntington disease (HD) has allowed those at risk to determine gene status prior to symptoms. The purpose of this research was to understand the motivation and the anticipated reactions of those ... -
Understanding the first Floridians
(Wichita State University. Department of Anthropology, 2018)Significant debate continues on the sources and timing of the peopling of the Americas as new materials are discovered and evaluated. Census seems to be Asian origin for early immigrants into the New World, arriving in ... -
Understanding the impact of improved hadron production measurements on accelerator neutrino particle beam flux uncertainties
(Wichita State University, 2019-12)One of the greatest challenges for neutrino experimentation is understanding the potential uncertainties in the collected data and models that are used for the Monte Carlo simulations. The neutrino-nucleus hadronic cross ... -
Understanding the prevalence of gestational diabetes in urban and rural communities in Kansas
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)INTRODUCTION: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common medical conditions women encounter during pregnancy and is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, perinatal and neonatal morbidity, and long-term ... -
Unequal equality: The impact of differing perspectives on race-based choices
(Wichita State University, 2013-05)The issue of race in the United States is complex at best. Ongoing racial disparities provide confirmation for the ongoing relevance of race in our communities. As racism has shifted from overt to less obvious forms, it ... -
Unexpected radial limit
(Wichita State University, 2017-04-28)Consider a bounded solution ƒ of the prescribed mean curvature equation over a bounded domain Ω ⊂ R² which has a corner at which has a corner at (0, 0) of size 2α and assume the mean curvature of the graph of ƒ is bounded. ... -

Unidirectional internuclear transfer of linked genes in heterokaryons of Candida albicans
(Wiley - V C H Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 1989)Nutritionally balanced heterokaryons of the naturally diploid, asexual yeast, Candida albicans are produced by fusing protoplasts of complementing auxotrophic strains. Spontaneous unidirectional internuclear transfers of ... -
Uniformity of limits in the calculation of the magnetization of the Heisenberg linear chain
(IEEE, 1971-03-01)By making use of the Bogliubov inequality, a formula is derived which gives an upper limit to the magnetization of a linear chain of arbitrary length and which is subject to the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. It is found that the ... -
The unique and interactive effects of parenting processes and child characteristics on the development of relational and physical aggression in early elementary school-aged boys and girls
(Wichita State University, 2012-07)The present study investigated convergent and divergent parenting antecedents and the unique and interactive effects of child verbal ability and impulsivity--‐inattention on the growth of relational and physical aggression. ... -
Uniqueness and stability in the Cauchy Problem
(Springer, 2017)In this chapter we formulate and in many cases prove results on the uniqueness and stability of solutions of the Cauchy problem for general partial differential equations. One of the basic tools is Carleman-type estimates. ... -
Uniqueness and stability of determining the residual stress by one measurement
(Taylor & Francis Group, LLC, 2007)In this paper we prove a Hölder and Lipschitz stability estimates of determining the residual stress by a single pair of observations from a part of the lateral boundary or from the whole boundary. These estimates imply ... -
Uniqueness in one inverse problem for the elasticity system
(Plenum Publishing Corporation, 2004-07)We consider an inverse problem for the stationary elasticity system with constant Lam´e coefficients and a variable matrix coefficient depending on the spatial variables and frequency. The right-hand side contains a ... -
Uniqueness of inverse source problems for some semilinear elliptic equations
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)Uniqueness of positive f is established in the inverse source problem − Δu + c(x,u) = f (x) under conditions on the known coefficient c. This inverse problem is significant in the areas of semiconductor manufacturing, and ... -
Uniqueness theorems for inverse boundary value problems in quasilinear anisotropic media
(Wichita State University, 2023-05)This study investigates the question of whether one can uniquely determine a scalar quasilinear conductivity in an anisotropic medium by making voltage and current measurements at the boundary whose quasilinear conductivity ... -
Unpacking hunger on campus: an analysis of the WSU Hunger Awareness Initiative
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)The present study reports phase 1 results of an on-going community-based, participatory initiative to enhance understanding of hunger issues on campus, the WSU Hunger Awareness Initiative. Data were collected through surveys ... -
Unreachable horizons: women's destiny in two short stories
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2012-04-18)I examine the oppressed role of women in two short stories by Spanish author Carmen Martín Gaite. The stories are set against the backdrop of a post-civil war Spain and therefore echo the desolation and angst felt by many ... -
Unspoken assumptions: a cross-cultural examination of sexual ambiguity

Untypical contrast normalization explains the “Weak Outnumber Strong” numerosity illusion
(Frontiers Media, 2022-07-19)Less salient, lower contrast disks appear to be more numerous than more salient, higher contrast disks when intermingled in equal numbers into the same display (Lei and Reeves, 2018), but they are equal in perceived ... -
