Enhancing social-emotional and character development for youths' success : a theoretical orientation and an evaluation using a cluster-randomized design

Creator:: Snyder, Frank J.
Abstract:: Interest in social-emotional and character development (SECD) programming has intensified in recent years. SECD-related programs often seek to enhance a variety of health-related outcomes by addressing multiple influences and embracing a comprehensive approach that includes youth, school personnel, families, and communities. Alongside a comprehensive approach arises the need for a...

Developing Models for the Forage Ratios of Culiseta melanura and Culex erraticus using Species Characteristics for Avian Hosts

Creator:: Estep, Laura K., McClure, Christopher J. W., Burkett-Cadena, Nathan D., Hassan, Hassan K., Unnasch, Thomas R., and Hill, Geoffrey E.
Abstract:: Studies of mosquito preferences for avian hosts have found that some bird species are at greater risk than others of being fed upon by mosquitoes. The ecological factors that determine this interspecific variation in avian host use by mosquitoes have been little studied, despite the possibility that such variation may...

Cell Biology of Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis

Creator:: Davy, Simon K., Allemand, Denis, and Weis, Virginia M.
Abstract:: The symbiosis between cnidarians (e.g., corals or sea anemones) and intracellular dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In particular, this symbiosis promotes the growth and survival of reef corals in nutrient-poor tropical waters; indeed, coral reefs could not exist without this symbiosis. However, our fundamental...

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...

Ecohydrological mediation of water budget partitioning and time scales of subsurface flow in a seasonally semi-arid grassland

Creator:: Pangle, Luke A.
Abstract:: Understanding how the interactions and feedbacks between plant function, climate, and soils ultimately affects the terrestrial water balance and subsurface flow processes is major challenge in scientific hydrology. This dissertation summarizes the findings of a manipulative climate warming experiment, an observational field study that utilized stable-isotope tracers, and associated modeling...

The ecology of wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) foraging in Pacific Northwest ecosystems

Creator:: Evans-Peters, Sara Tondee
Abstract:: Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were first successfully introduced into Oregon and Washington in the 1960s; the population has grown in size and expanded in distribution to a point where it provides an important recreational hunting opportunity in both states that generates significant funds for habitat conservation and contributes financially to...

The importance of hydraulic groundwater theory in catchment hydrology: The legacy of Wilfried Brutsaert and Jean-Yves Parlange

Creator:: Troch, Peter A., Berne, Alexis, Bogaart, Patrick, Harman, Ciaran, Hilberts, Arno G. J., Lyon, Steve W., Paniconi, Claudio, Pauwels, Valentijn R. N., Rupp, David E., Selker, John S., Teuling, Adriaan J., Uijlenhoet, Remko, and Verhoest, Niko E. C.
Abstract:: Based on a literature overview, this paper summarizes the impact and legacy of the contributions of Wilfried Brutsaert and Jean-Yves Parlange (Cornell University) with respect to the current state-of-the-art understanding in hydraulic groundwater theory. Forming the basis of many applications in catchment hydrology, ranging from drought flow analysis to surface...

Reinforcement Learning for P2P Backup Applications

Creator:: Mall, Shikhar
Abstract:: A five year study of file-system metadata shows that the number of files increases by 200% and only a select few file-types contribute for over 35% of the files that exist on a file-system. It is difficult to point out a permanent selection of files that a user really cares...

Late-time drainage from a sloping Boussinesq aquifer

Creator:: Bogaart, Patrick W., Rupp, David E., Selker, John S., and van der Velde, Ype
Abstract:: Numerical solutions to the nonlinear Boussinesq equation, applied to a steeply sloping aquifer and assuming uniform hydraulic conductivity, indicate that late-time recession discharge decreases nearly linearly in time. When recession discharge is characterized by -dQ/dt=aQ[superscript b], this is equivalent to constant dQ/dt or b=0. This result suggests that a previously...

State of the Art in Large-Scale Soil Moisture Monitoring

Creator:: Ochsner, Tyson E., Cosh, Michael H., Cuenca, Richard H., Dorigo, Wouter A., Draper, Clara S., Hagimoto, Yutaka, Kerr, Yann H., Larson, Kristine M., Njoku, Eni G., Small, Eric E., and Zreda, Marek
Abstract:: Soil moisture is an essential climate variable influencing land–atmosphere interactions, an essential hydrologic variable impacting rainfall–runoff processes, an essential ecological variable regulating net ecosystem exchange, and an essential agricultural variable constraining food security. Large-scale soil moisture monitoring has advanced in recent years, creating opportunities to transform scientific understanding of soil...
