Examination of Athletic Identity and Exercise Regulation Motivation After Sport Retirement
(2017-08-01)
This study sought to fill several gaps in the current exercise motivation literature by utilizing self-determination theory and identity theory in exploration of the relationship between athletic identity, exercise identity, ...
The use of simulation for project planning in biomedical device product and process development
(2001)
The rapidly changing biomedical device industry and the associated pace of the advancement of technology requires that biomedical device companies release products into the marketplace as fast as possible to recoup the ...
Comparison of Cliinician-Directed and Student-Self-Directed Physical Therapy Interventions for Youth with Severe and Multiple Developmental Disabilities
(2011)
I investigated two physical therapy intervention approaches, one clinician-directed (CD) and one participant self-directed (SD) for helping five young adults with severe and multiple developmental disabilities (SMDD) gain, ...
REAL TIME MONITORING OF SLOPE STABILITY IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA
(2014-1)
There were three primary objectives of the proposed research. The first was to establish a comprehensive landslide database, the second was to create a first- cut regional landslide map and the third was to relate safe and ...
Elucidating the catalytic mechanism of malic enzyme via site-directed mutagenesis studies.
(2001)
Based on homology search results and the three-dimensional structures of malic enzymes, 12 highly conserved ionizable residues were selected as potential general acid/base in the malic enzyme reaction. Site-directed ...
The Role of Gender Expectations and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors on Teaching Evaluations
(2010)
Organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are a much-discussed and debated construct in the literature. When examining behaviors not explicitly detailed in job descriptions, ambiguity and subjective expectations about ...
Photoassociation and Rovibrational Cooling of Sodium Cesium Using Chirped Laser Pulses and Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage
(2015-04)
This dissertation presents the study of how two laser pulses can bind sodium and cesium atoms at ultracold temperature ($T=200\mu K$) into an ultracold, polar, diatomic molecule with a definite quantum state.
A single-channel ...
Freshwater zooplankton: ecology, cryptic species, and global change
(2016-08)
Modern threats to freshwater biota include anthropogenic eutrophication and invasive species, both of which may impact biodiversity. My four chapters focus on different aspects of these global changes. In Chapters 1 and ...
Epizoic Diatom Assemblages on Freshwater Turtles
(2016-05)
Although freshwater turtles and their epibiotic hosts are a good model for studying epibiotic interactions (including basking, the effects of turtle species, and geographic variation), information on diatom-turtle relationships ...
Hysteresis and dynamic effects in the relationship between capillary pressure, saturation, and air-water interfacial area in porous media.
(2006)
Air-water interfacial areas (A) were measured for multiple drainages (primary, secondary, and scanning) using a newly developed method, along hysteretic Pc-S curves representing natural drying/wetting processes. The ...
