The impact of social capital on well-being in rural communities

Creator:: Harrison, Jane L.
Abstract:: This study seeks to explore the relationship between social capital and well-being in the rural Western United States. Mixed methods were employed to understand the concepts from multiple angles, using both profile and process indicators. An econometric approach used profile indicators and relied on data from 414 counties in the...

A study of macro level complexity metrics

Creator:: Harrison, Warren A.
Abstract:: Controlling the "complexity" or "understandability" of computer software is important because of its impact on program testing and maintenance. Of the large number of complexity metrics that have been developed to measure the complexity of a computer program, most assess the "micro-complexity" of each subprogram and few assess the "macro-complexity"...

Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials of Uranyl Peroxide Clusters and Uranium Minerals

Creator:: Neal, Harrison A.
Abstract:: Frontier research of non-aqueous actinide clusters is discussed. Since the inception of the uranyl peroxide clusters over the last decade, they have only been synthesized and characterized as solid crystals and in aqueous solution. This thesis provides thorough characterization of aqueous uranyl clusters and the first demonstration of uranyl cluster...

Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Insulin Action and Fatty Acid Trafficking with Obesity and Exercise

Creator:: Stierwalt, Harrison D.
Abstract:: Altered skeletal muscle fat metabolism is linked to changes in skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. Whereby the accumulation of bioactive signaling lipids (i.e., diacylglycerols and ceramides) within skeletal muscle are negatively associated with insulin sensitivity and the exercise-induced changes to fatty acid trafficking are related to improved skeletal muscle insulin action....

Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

Creator:: Harrison, Matt
Abstract:: Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

Homicide, Deaths of Undetermined Intent, and Legal Intervention: A Comparison of American Indian and Alaska Native Violent Deaths by Multilevel Place of Death

Creator:: Harrison, Sydelle N.
Abstract:: Violent deaths are a leading cause of mortality in the United States and research suggests American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are disproportionately impacted compared to all other racial and ethnic groups. Little is known about the true magnitude of the serious threat of violence mortality in AI/AN communities across...

Elucidating the Patterns of Cooccurrence, Spatial Structuring, and Impact on Fermentation Metabolism in Kombucha Microbial Communities

Creator:: Harrison, Keisha Rose
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the microbial diversity and factors influencing the assembly of microbial communities in kombucha production, using a combination of 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, 16S and ITS rRNA metabarcoding, and traditional culture-based microbiological methods. It also explores the diversity of kombucha starter cultures through shotgun sequencing and metabarcoding...

Three Topics on Coastal Hazards : Propagation, Transformation, and Impact

Creator:: Ko, Harrison T.
Abstract:: An understanding of natural coastal hazards is essential for improving resilience of coastal communities. Effective management of coastal hazards relies on prediction tools and mitigation structures that have been designed to handle the dynamic coastal system. This dissertation is a collection of manuscripts that cover a diverse range of fundamental...

A National Five-Year Exploratory and Descriptive Analysis of Two-Year Public College Graduation Rates at Branch Compared to Non-Branch Campuses

Creator:: Harrison, Faimous J. L.
Abstract:: Branch campuses play an important part in postsecondary degree attainment by providing place-bound students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds in different geographical regions access to education that is convenient. Their heterogeneousness structures, including enrollment size, communities, and populations served, are not accurately reflected in the majority of the research. Currently, there...
