Linguistic Choices as a Feature of Engineering Identity

Creator:: Capehart, Ron L.
Abstract:: Engineering practice is aptly described as a unique culture, shaped by a long history of social learning, norms and values. As these systems and values have been constructed to the benefit of white men, it is unsurprising that the study of engineering culture has revealed many structures working against the...

Epistemic Practices in Civil and Environmental Engineering Among Students, Faculty, and Practicing Engineers

Creator:: Babikoff, Travis J.
Abstract:: The epistemic practices that make up engineering are poorly understood and there is a lack of empirical research on this topic. Characterizing the epistemic practices of engineering students, faculty, and professionals is critical to creating effective curriculum that aids in developing student’s epistemic practices. Doing so allows us to better...

Social regulatory processes in adulthood : responding to change and variability in proximal and distal social forces

Creator:: Mejía, Shannon T.
Abstract:: Adult development and social experiences are intertwined, which has implications for social policy, health, and well-being across the lifespan. This dissertation explores the benefit and risk that close social partners bring to adults' lives, and the efficacy and consequences of engaging social resources to maintain well-being in the face of...

Structural effects on enzymatic activity of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme upon adsorption to colloidal silica

Creator:: Xu, Qiurong, 1964-
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Structural stability effects on adsorption of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme to colloidal silica

Creator:: Tian, Minghua
Abstract:: Circular dichroism (CD) spectra were obtained for bacteriophage T4 lysozyme and three of its mutants in the presence and absence of colloidal silica nanoparticles. Mutant lysozymes were produced by substitution of the isoleucine at position 3 with tryptophan, cysteine and leucine. Each substitution resulted in an altered structural stability, quantified...

Modeling and optimization of the dilute-sulfuric acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic

Creator:: Esteghlalian, Alireza
Abstract:: Environmental concerns about urban air quality, global climate change, energy security and economic considerations motivate a growing interest in alternative fuels for the transportation sector. Ethanol, a fermentation-derived fuel, can be produced by bioconversion of renewable materials, such as wood, grass, and waste. Combustion of ethanol fuel, in both neat...

Adsorption of the wild type and a synthetic structural stability variant of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme

Creator:: Podhipleux, Nilobon
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Molecular origins of surfactant-mediated stabilization of protein

Creator:: Lee, Hyo Jin
Abstract:: Nonionic surfactants are commonly used to stabilize proteins during upstream and downstream processing and drug formulation. Surfactants stabilize the proteins through two major mechanisms: (i) their preferential location at nearby interfaces, in this way precluding protein adsorption; and/or (ii) their association with protein into "complexes" that prevent proteins from interacting...

Supporting families through collaboration : an analysis of Oregon Even Start partnerships

Creator:: Brinkman, Dane A.
Abstract:: In recent years interorganizational collaboration has increasingly been emphasized as an important step for addressing inefficiencies in the delivery of human services. Among the many benefits of collaboration described by human service authors are the creation of a more consumer-friendly service system, more efficient use of available resources, and avoiding...

Ecology of adult day care for family caregivers

Creator:: Patterson, Susan L.
Abstract:: The purpose of the study was to learn more about the ways in which caregivers perceive the effects of adult day services. The goal was to help inform adult day providers about services family caregivers find useful. An ecological model was used as a framework. Data were collected from focus...
