- Description:
- The purpose of this study is to identify the attitudes most closely related to client cooperation in the referral process. It is expected that this information will be of value in preparation of clients for referral. Knowledge of areas which are of particular concern to such clients will aid practitioners in exploring the client's feelings, and this should increase the chances that clients will follow through with the suggested action.

- Description:
- A search for a massive W' gauge boson decaying to a top quark and a bottom quark is performed with the ATLAS detector in pp collisions at the LHC. The datasetwas taken at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV and corresponds to 20.3 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity. This analysis is done in the hadronic decay mode of the top quark, where novel jet substructure techniques are used to identify jets from high-momentum top quarks. This allows for a search for high-mass W' bosons in the range 1.5-3.0 TeV. b-tagging is used to identify jets originating from b-quarks. The data are consistent with Standard Model background-only expectations, and upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the W' -> tb cross section times branching ratio ranging from 0.16 pb to 0.33 pb for left-handed W' bosons, and ranging from 0.10 pb to 0.21 pb for W' bosons with purely righthanded couplings. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the W'-boson coupling to tb as a function of the W' mass using an effective field theory approach, which is independent of details of particular models predicting a W' boson.

- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of applying the principles of behavior momentum to teach non-echolalic responses to children with autism who frequently exhibit immediate echolalia. Behavioral momentum is the continuation and persistence of a behavior after a new or different condition has been introduced into the environment. Using a multiple baselines across behaviors and participants design, the researcher presented a series of verbal stimuli evoking high-probability echolalic responses before presenting a verbal stimulus evoking a low-probability non-echolalic response. Verbal stimuli presented to evoke the high-probability echolalic response were systematically faded until only the verbal stimulus evoking the low-probability non-echolalic response was presented. Results demonstrated that behavioral momentum can effectively teach non-echolalic responses and reduce the production of immediate echolalia.

- Description:
- In universities across the country, White student affairs professionals have the opportunity to engage students in conversations about Whiteness and White privilege, but are they doing so? National guiding documents for student affairs professionals specifically include social justice competencies, including engaging with students on topics such as race and privilege. Staff and faculty of color at universities often experience cultural taxation, wherein they are expected and often appointed to serve on committees or give presentations and workshops on diversity issues, even when that is not their area of expertise. Two important concepts that are frequently omitted from diversity workshops, but that are crucial for student affairs professionals and students to understand, are Whiteness and White privilege.

- Description:
- A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results.

- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Kickin� Asthma (KA) program in Fresno Unified Schools. The participants represented a convenience sample of 53 students from eight Fresno Unified School District middle schools. Only intact groups�meaning that all participants who completed a pretest, a posttest, and a 1-year follow-up test�were represented and included in the analysis. The theoretical model used in this study was the social cognitive theory. This study involved an analysis of secondary data using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The intact groups tested the nine research hypotheses using the Pearson Chi-squared test. The study revealed that overall missed school days and number of emergency room visits decreased. However, the study had several limitations, including the use of a convenience sample, as well as a small sample size. School settings can provide easy access for students to learn life-saving knowledge about their asthma and improve overall health and well-being.

- Description:
- A search for a high-mass Higgs boson H is performed in the H -> WW -> l nu l nu and H -> WW -> l nu qq decay channels using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) collected at root s = 8TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No evidence of a high-mass Higgs boson is found. Limits on sigma(H) x BR(H -> WW) as a function of the Higgs boson mass m(H) are determined in three different scenarios: one in which the heavy Higgs boson has a narrow width compared to the experimental resolution, one for a width increasing with the boson mass and modeled by the complex-pole scheme following the same behavior as in the Standard Model, and one for intermediate widths. The upper range of the search is m(H) = 1500 GeV for the narrow-width scenario and m(H) = 1000 GeV for the other two scenarios. The lower edge of the search range is 200{300 GeV and depends on the analysis channel and search scenario. For each signal interpretation, individual and combined limits from the two WW decay channels are presented. At m(H) = 1500 GeV, the highest-mass point tested, sigma(H) x BR(H -> WW) for a narrow-width Higgs boson is constrained to be less than 22 fb and 6.6 fb at 95% CL for the gluon fusion and vector-boson fusion production modes, respectively.
