Use of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services among American Indians and Alaska Natives including the Role of the Great Recession : Evidence from the National Survey of Family Growth

Creator:: Cahn, Megan A.
Abstract:: American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) have more negative sexual and reproductive health outcomes than non-Hispanic whites. Little is known, however, about the factors that lead to sexual and reproductive health disparities for AIANs, including the role of sexual and reproductive health services (SRHS). Logistic regression analyses were performed on...

The Role of Domestic Institutions in Making Policy Entrepreneurs Successful: An Analysis of the Transposition of the EU Late Payment Directive into French national law.

Creator:: Murzeau, Claire
Abstract:: Though research on EU law compliance is extensive, the question as to why some policy entrepreneurs are more successful than others, and why some countries comply better than others, remains largely disputed. Using a case study design of France, this thesis focuses on the type of domestic institutions that make...

The Response to Sulforaphane in Metastatic Prostate Cancer Cells

Creator:: Watson, Gregory
Abstract:: Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables and has been under investigation as a cancer chemopreventive agent for over two decades. The compound is well tolerated and has been shown to slow cancer progression in several different pre-clinical models of carcinogenesis, such as of the lung, breast and colon....

Public Participation in the Siting of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Facility on the Columbia River

Creator:: Tran, Trang C.
Abstract:: Since 2004, a number of interrelated controversies have surrounded proposals to site a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal near Astoria, Oregon. While public participation has impacted the decision-making process surrounding these proposals, we do not know how such public participation processes has been perceived by those who participated. Using content...

Posttraumatic Growth, the Physically Active Body, and Self-Compassion

Creator:: Mitchell, Erin E.
Abstract:: Individuals who have been traumatized have the opportunity to experience posttraumatic growth, conceptualized as positive changes that result from navigating highly challenging life circumstances (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). The current model of posttraumatic growth (Calhoun, Cann, & Tedeschi, 2010) is based solely on cognitive-emotional processing yet by examining the role...

Pathways to Well-Being : A Mixed Methods Study on Purpose in Life in Middle Adulthood

Creator:: Ko, Han-Jung
Abstract:: An ability to meet the changing demands associated with development promotes purpose in life, a defining feature of psychological well-being. Midlife adults consistently report higher purpose in life compared to older adults. However, less is known about the dynamics of purpose in life in the transition from middle to older...

OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

Creator:: Wingo, Patrick C.
Abstract:: The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...

Nucleation of Iron Dust From Type II Supernovae

Creator:: Fletcher, Lisa
Abstract:: When a star dies in a supernova, its constituent particles are torn apart and a gaseous cloud of atoms remains. These atoms may eventually condense again into large bodies such as planets and stars. There are three main theories as to how this happens: classical, kinetic, and non-local thermodynamic equilibrium...

Linking Pore-scale Fluid-Fluid Interfacial Curvature in Porous Media to Capillary Pressure and Local Morphology with A Novel Method for Curvature Measurement

Creator:: Li, Tianyi
Abstract:: Systems that contain multi-phase flow in porous media are of interest in diverse fields including environmental engineering, hydrogeology, and petroleum engineering etc. One of the main descriptors of multi-phase flow in porous media is the relationship between capillary pressure and fluid saturation. Capillary pressure is inherently a pore-scale variable and...

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Embedded Rebar, Cracks, Chloride Ingress and Corrosion on Electrical Resistivity Measurements of Reinforced Concrete

Creator:: Morales, Monica
Abstract:: The effects of steel reinforcement, chloride-induced corrosion initiation, cracking and delamination on the electrical resistivity measurements using the Wenner probe technique were studied experimentally on custom-designed reinforced concrete slabs. Investigation parameters included (1) probe configurations with respect to rebar mesh, (2) rebar density, (3) epoxy coating on the rebar, (4)...
