"Pretty and patriotic" : women's consumption of apparel during World War II

Creator:: Mower, Jennifer M.
Abstract:: The War Production Board issued limitation order 85 in April 1942 in order to conserve fabric and manpower needed for the war effort. The L-85 order froze the silhouette so no major style changes in women's wear would occur during the war. It is clear that on the one hand...

Factors contributing to preservice teachers' choice of strategies to manage problem behaviors

Creator:: Cunningham, Bruce
Abstract:: Managing children with problem behaviors is a challenging task for new teachers. Preservice training offers one means of better preparing new teachers to meet this challenge. Before suggesting alterations in preservice training programs, it is necessary to understand how preservice teachers perceive and respond to problem behaviors. Of particular interest...

Going somewhere or getting stuck : transitions to adulthood in rural Oregon

Creator:: Cunningham, Sarah E.
Abstract:: This dissertation explores the real world problem of rural youth out-migration and finds that the central problem is one of persistent class difference in this rural Oregon town. The research that informs this dissertation was conducted in a rural community of approximately 2300 residents in Eastern Oregon, here called Talltown....

“We’ll Be That Kid That You Think We Are” : The Influences of Stigma and Interactions with Important Adults on Youth Identity Development in a Rural Context

Creator:: Lile, Joy R.
Abstract:: Adolescence is a developmental stage marked by crystallization in individuals’ sense of identity (Erikson, 1994; Harter, 1999). Research on positive youth development stresses the ways in which thriving trajectories during adolescence contribute to positive lifelong outcomes (Lerner & Overton, 2008; Scales, Benson, & Roehlkepartain, 2011) A symbolic interactionism perspective (Mead,...

Exploratory Study to Uncover Student Mental Models of Singly Linked Lists in the C Programming Language

Creator:: Almadhoun, Eman
Abstract:: In computer science, learning abstract fundamental programming concepts requiring students to understand memory management can be very difficult and lead to misunderstandings that carry on into advanced topics. This is especially true in data structures with abstract data types. Understanding how novice students think and reason about data structures is...

Analytical method development for the identification, detection, and quantification of emerging environmental contaminants in complex matrices

Creator:: Place, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...

Poly- and perfluorinated alkyl substance release from landfills and landfill model reactors

Creator:: Allred, Brent McKay
Abstract:: Research and public concern of poly and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) as environmental contaminants has increased significantly due to the increasing number of reports of their detection in humans and wildlife. PFASs have a number of commercial applications including surfactants, coatings, polymers, and levelers, which are used on consumer products like...

A Framework for Evaluating the Comprehensiveness of Continuous Improvement in Academic Computing Programs. A 360-Degree View of the Continuous Improvement Efforts in a Large School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Creator:: Azzouni, Abdullah
Abstract:: Continuous Improvement (CI) of academic computing programs is a main requirement of accreditation. Academic computing programs must have a well-documented CI plan in order to be granted accreditation. Based on the existing literature, we developed a comprehensive CI (or 360-CI) model consisting of 8 components: course, curriculum, administration, faculty, research,...

Addressing wastewater epidemiology limitations with the use of dynamic population surrogates, complementary urinalyses and in-situ experiments

Creator:: Brewer, Alex J.
Abstract:: Wastewater epidemiology is an emerging discipline that requires collaborative research involving analytical chemists, drug epidemiologists, and wastewater engineers. Wastewater epidemiology involves the sampling and quantitative analysis of raw wastewaters from communities for illicit drugs and their metabolites. Mass loads (mass per day) and per capita (mg per day per person)...

Assessing Chemical Dispersants Used During the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill : Method Innovation and Application

Creator:: Perkins, Matt J.
Abstract:: Large quantities of the chemical oil dispersant Corexit were applied in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Large data gaps regarding the potential transport, persistence and impact of Corexit in the Gulf existed at the time of the emergency response. Analytical methods for...
