This study examined the effectiveness of expressive writing in increasing general mental health and specifically PTSD symptomology for women residing in a domestic violence shelter. Two experimental expressive writing ...
Fusion in lesbian relationships: The relationship between differentiation of self and gay stressors
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between differentiation of self and gay stressors in a lesbian population. The sample of lesbian women, over the age of 25, and currently ...
Characterization of internalization, recycling and downregulation of muscarinic receptors
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Muscarinic receptors mediate the responses elicited to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Specifically, muscarinic receptors mediate exocrine glandular secretion, smooth muscle ...
Effects of ion irradiation on the mechanical properties and structural evolution of sol-gel derived hybrid silicate thin films
(2015-07)
A study of the effects of ion irradiation on the surface mechanical properties and structural evolution of sol-gel derived hybrid silicate thin films has been conducted. Green films were synthesized through a sol-gel process ...
Season of birth and stimulant based disorders
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship between an individual's season of birth and the diagnosis of a stimulant substance disorder. Additionally, this investigation ...
Fabrication of fine grained SiC and SiC-exfoliated graphene nanocomposites using spark plasma sintering of polymer derived SiC
(2014-07)
In spite of excellent thermo-mechanical properties of silicon carbide (SiC), its application is limited due to its inherent brittle nature. Inclusion of a high strength and high modulus second phase can potentially improve ...
Effects of Extended Water Restriction on Performance, Behavior, Health, and Welfare of Feedlot Steers
(2019-07)
Climate change and a growing human population are expected to impact water availability globally, which could limit water resources for animal agriculture. As water resources become scarcer, methods to efficiently utilize ...
Diversity, relative abundance, movement, and fitness of insect predators in winter canola agricultural landscapes in the United States Southern Plains
(2017-05)
In general, landscape diversification in agricultural production systems is possibly correlated with increased biological pest suppression services. In the Southern Great Plains, continuous winter wheat systems are being ...
Comparing the Efficiency of Reprimands and Noncontingent Reinforcement in Reducing Disruptive Behavior in the Classroom
(2019-07-01)
The present study evaluated the effects of reprimands and noncontingent reinforcement as reducing disruptive behavior but increasing time on-task in the general education classroom. Three, second grade, student-teacher ...
Latent effects of larval experience: The pervasive effects of tadpole predation risk on frog phenotype
(2017-05)
Predation risk influences prey phenotype. Predator-induced changes in prey behavior and morphology are hypothesized to be adaptive, as long as predation risk is constant. This restriction does not hold for organisms like ...
