Beyond high hopes : educational attainment among children of immigrants

Creator:: Feeney, Sarah L.
Abstract:: In light of broadening racial/ethnic educational attainment gaps, growing diversity within young populations, and the increasingly critical relationship between higher education and outcomes in adulthood, understanding the factors that shape educational attainment is an especially important task for research. With this goal in mind, the current study examined how national...

Generalized linear mixed models with censored covariates

Creator:: Giovanini, John
Abstract:: This dissertation is about statistical methods for data analysis using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) with censored covariates. Special attention in given to the particular problem of inference about age-specific reproductive success in wild animal populations using some animals with known ages and some animals with ages only known to...

Understanding chlamydial biology through genome sequencing and comparative genomics

Creator:: Jeffrey, Brendan
Abstract:: The human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis displays different phenotypes between serovars both in vivo and in vitro. The study of chlamydial biology has been hampered by the lack of a tractable genetic system. Here, chlamydial isolates with known phenotypes as well as strains generated though recombination were fully sequenced to address...

Who's in place, who's out of place : examining the politics of natural resource collaboration

Creator:: Cheng, Antony S.
Abstract:: A qualitative research approach composed of three strategies was employed to systematically examine the politics of natural resource collaboration. First, using the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds as a case study, the behavioral assumptions of natural resource policy instruments enabling collaboration were uncovered and analyzed. Three key assumptions emerge:...

Initial and boundary value problems via topological methods

Creator:: O'Regan, Daniel J.
Abstract:: In this thesis a relatively new topological technique, due to A. Granas, called Topological Transversality is used to obtain existence theorems for initial and boundary value problems in a variety of settings. This fixed point result is based on the notions of an essential map and on a priori bounds...

The impact of child-centered play therapy on anxiety levels in pre-neurosurgical pediatric patients

Creator:: Lerwick, Julie L.
Abstract:: The prevalence of childhood illness requiring hospitalization establishes the need for implementation of an applied intervention to decrease levels of hospitalization-induced anxiety in pediatric patients. In addition to anxiety, levels of perceived trauma have also been linked to pre-operative pediatric patients. Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT) within the medical setting has...

The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

A study of the photolysis of the aqueous thymine system at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm

Creator:: Satcher, Robert Lee
Abstract:: The photolysis of the aqueous thymine system has been investigated at 214 nm, 229 nm and 254 nm at room temperature. Products of photolysis have been identified as hydrogen peroxide, 6-hydroxy-5- hydroperoxy thymine and tentatively 5-hydroxy-6-hydroperoxy thymine. These together with thymine loss, were determined quantitatively under a variety of conditions....
