Quantitative Approaches for the Student-Managed Investment Fund
(2017-02-15)We examined the performance of a total of six quantitative strategies over three, five, and ten years horizons. We are presenting the two strategies with the best results. To begin, we first define what Student Managed ... -
A Quantitative Assessment of Spawning Habitat for Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu dolomieu) in Northern Wisconsin Lakes
(University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, College of Natural Resources, 2001-08)Anthropogenic disturbances in near-shore littoral zones of lakes may affect spawning habitat and recruitment of smallmouth bass. However, the degree to which habitat models describe the critical spawning habitat that ... -
Quantitative Evaluation of Geared Manual Wheelchair Mobility in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury: An Integrative Approach
(2019-05-01)The purpose of this dissertation is to quantify the effects of using geared wheelchair wheels on upper extremity biomechanics and energy expenditure during functional mobility tasks in individuals with spinal cord injury ... -
A quantitative needs analysis of participants in team sports, individual sports, and adventure education
(2001-05)A questionnaire was administered to 323 physical education students at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. -
Quantitative Optical Imaging of Metabolic and Structural Biomarkers in Rodent Injury Models
(2020-05-01)The assessment of organ metabolic function using optical imaging techniques is an overgrowing field of disease diagnosis. The broad research objective of my PhD thesis is to detect quantitative biomarkers by developing and ... -
Quantitative Optical Studies of Oxidative Stress in Rodent Models of Eye and Lung Injuries
(2016-12-01)Optical imaging techniques have emerged as essential tools for reliable assessment of organ structure, biochemistry, and metabolic function. The recognition of metabolic markers for disease diagnosis has rekindled significant ... -
Quantitative peel test for thin films/layers based on a coupled parametric and statistical study
(2019-12-24)The adhesion strength of thin films is critical to the durability of micro and nanofabricated devices. However, current testing methods are imprecise and do not produce quantitative results necessary for design specifications. ... -
Quantitative Phenotype Analysis to Identify, Validate and Compare Rat Disease Models
(2018-05-01)Introduction The laboratory rat has been widely used as an animal model in biomedical research. There are many strains exhibiting a wide variety of phenotypes. Capturing these phenotypes in a centralized database provides ... -
Quantitative Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy of Electronic and Nanostructured Materials
(2015-05-07)This thesis reports studies of electronic and nanostructured materials by advanced electron microscopy (EM) techniques, including scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), position averaged convergent beam electron ... -
Quantitative study of leadership self-efficacy and peer mentorship at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
(2010-05-13)This quantitative study was conducted to examine peer mentoring, gender, and leadership self-efficacy of students at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UW-La Crosse). Using the 2009 Multi-Institutional Study of Leadership ... -
A quantitative survey of the phytoplankton and water quality of the La Crosse, "Black" and Mississippi Rivers
(1972)A seven-month study of the phytoplankton populations and water quality of the La Crosse and Mississippi Rivers and the back water slough of the old Black River channel below navigation pool #7, hereafter referred to as ... -
Quantitative trait loci and global expression patterns offer insight into phenotypic plasticity
(2011-12)Phenotypic plasticity, i.e. changes in phenotype with environment, may allow organisms to produce optimal phenotypes in all environments (adaptive plasticity). There is considerable discussion about the genetic mechanisms ... -
The quantity and nutritive quality of Vallisneria americana biomass, in navigation pool no. 9 of the Upper Mississippi River
(1982-08)Vallisneria americana Michx. (wild celery) was studied to determine biomass, productivity, and the nutritive potential of all morphological structures. The study area was located in the southern portion of Navigation Pool ... -
