Studies of molecular architecture within solid polymer electrolytes and teichoic acid biopolymers from solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
(2007)
The unsuccessful collection of a 31P CP-MAS spectrum in frozen D2O suggests the presence of liquid water around LTA. 2H SSNMR were used to study the phase of the water environments for LTA dissolved in D2O at -25 and ...
"Betting" on vanilla: Rural producers and development in Papantla, Veracruz, Mexico.
(2007)
This dissertation focuses on small-scale vanilla producers in the Mexican state of Veracruz, and their experience with development projects aimed at reviving the cultivation of the crop after decades of decline. It begins ...
Pre-service teachers and statistics: Interrelationships between content confidence, knowledge, and attitudes; Pedagogical content knowledge; and teacher interest in professional development in statistics.
(2007)
Instruments were used to gather data about the defined variables. Two preexisting statistics knowledge instruments were used as well as three pre-existing attitudes scales. One of the three attitudes scales measured two ...
Examining possible interaction effects between self-control theory and general strain theory.
(2007)
Abstract not available.
Evaluating theories of sexual violence using rape offenses in the National Crime Victimization Survey and the National Incident Based Reporting System.
(2007)
Indiscriminate selection suggests, as some feminist theorists have posited, that the young age distribution is due to routine activities and offenders will select victims only in accordance with convenience and opportunity, ...
Relative effectiveness of bolstering and inoculation approaches in crisis communication.
(2007)
The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of communicating to the public before a crisis occurs. Previous research on crisis communication has employed primarily atheoretical approaches that focus on ...
Network epistemic rhetoric: Composition in the digital age.
(2007)
This project will begin with an examination of social epistemic rhetoric in relation to the scholarship of computers and composition, complexity theory and the post-process movement. Next, the critical methodology suggested ...
Improved nonlinear filtering for target tracking.
(2007)
The objective of this research is to develop robust and accurate tracking algorithms for various tracking applications. These tracking problems can be formulated as nonlinear filtering problems. The tracking algorithms ...
The 2.3A crystal structure of the antibody Fab HPC-4 in complex with calcium and the epitope peptide.
(2007)
The murine monoclonal antibody HPC-4, directed against the activation region of the human anticoagulant zymogen protein C (PC), is one of the few immunoglobulins known to display calcium-dependent antigen binding. Unlike ...
Design and synthesis of bistable and tristable [2]catenanes as probes for non-covalent molecular interactions.
(2007)
With wider bis(p-benzyl)methyl spacers in 4,4'-dipyridinium macrocycles interlocked with the BPP34C10, four symmetric [2]catenanes have been studied. Symmetric blocking groups on tethers enabled either pathway for ...
