Research shows that one in four migrant farmworkers experienced an episode of one or more mental health disorders such as stress, depression, or anxiety in their lifetime. The purpose of this mixed methods study was to explore experiences and perceptions related to stress and depression among Latino migrant and seasonal...
Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pools in mammalian mitochondria are highly
asymmetric, and this asymmetry probably contributes toward the elevated
mutation rate for the mitochondrial genome as compared with the nuclear
genome. To understand this asymmetry, we must identify pathways for synthesis
and accumulation of dNTPs within mitochondria. We have identified
ribonucleotide reductase...
A line of four garments was designed and developed using the various stages of the design process, based on the idea of translating music into fashion, the intangible into the tangible. The line was inspired by Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, guided by the composer’s music and symphonic...
A period of over forty years (1913-1954) of gold dredging dramatically changed

Ranch LLC used cattle feeding to increase top soil, vegetation, and habitat on the dredge
tailings. This thesis investigated the use of feeding cattle as...

For centuries wood has served as a primary structural building material in small
dwelling, large communal structures, bridges, and temporary structures. Even
today wood is the dominant material in residential construction. Despite this long
standing use of wood, non-residential multi-story construction in light of the green
building revolution has yet...
An open area of research in complex systems is to move reliability and failure assessments earlier in the engineering design process. When compared to later design, early decisions are cost effective and have a large impact on the system. Standard methods are limited by the availability of data and often...
As the demand for community mental health services grows, more and more counselors-in-training are being asked to face the challenge of working with high needs clients, including clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Counselors-in-training are entering therapeutic relationships with high-risk clients without training specifically covering BPD client's unique needs. This...
