Characterization of hydrologic parameters and processes in shrink-swell clay soils

Creator:: Stewart, Ryan D.
Abstract:: Vertisols and other vertic-intergrade soils are found all over the globe, including many agricultural and urban areas. These soils are characterized by their cyclical shrinking and swelling behaviors, where bulk density and porosity distribution both vary as functions of time and/or soil moisture. In turn, alterations in physical soil parameters...

A General Purpose Agent-Based Blackboard Optimization Method Applied to Sodium Fast Reactor Design and Analysis

Creator:: Stewart, Ryan H.
Abstract:: We present a novel multi-objective optimization methodology built upon a multi-agent blackboard framework. This multi-agent blackboard system (MABS) synthesizes blackboard architectures, multi-agent environments, and optimization theory. The blackboard architecture creates the framework for initializing, storing, and solving a multi-objective optimization problem. Multiple agents allow for an optimization problem to be...

That’s Not in My Position Description: A Discourse Analysis Study of SBAE Teacher Migratory Context

Creator:: Haddad, Becky
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to unfold positions of migrating SBAE teachers to understand support and challenge to retain teachers in migratory contexts. Previous literature discusses problems related to teacher mobility as functions of teacher-student matching, teacher skill and effort, school environments, and advancing student learning. In an effort...

Linking phylogenetic identity and biogeochemical function of uncultivated marine microbes with novel mass spectrometry techniques

Creator:: Bryson, Samuel J.
Abstract:: The combined activities of diverse heterotrophic marine microorganisms significantly shape global biogeochemical cycles, but models of these activities are currently limited to aggregate microbial community processes, and it remains unclear how community structure and the functional roles of specific microbial taxa should be integrated into these models. Therefore, understanding the...

A systematic review and phenomenological analysis of university supervisors’ feedback processes with school based agricultural education teacher candidates through a framework of positive psychology

Creator:: Schmidt, Kirby
Abstract:: University supervisors are critical to improvement in K-12 teaching and learning due to their roles in designing field experiences, managing relationships, mentoring, and supervising teacher candidates. The encouragement, support, and feedback shared by university supervisors in respect to the teaching performance of teacher candidates is especially powerful, and is a...

Exploring How Alternatively Certified Agriculture Teachers Acquire Practices and Participate in a Community of Practice: A Hermeneutic Phenomenology

Creator:: Claflin, Kellie
Abstract:: The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to explore the lived experience of alternatively certified agriculture teachers, acquire the practices of agriculture teachers, and participate in the agriculture teacher community of practice. The study was grounded in an interpretivist approach, which provided an alterantive perspective to the positistic-like research...

Exploring the Limits of Ligation Rate and Specificity in Protein Immobilization Using the Genetically Encoded Tetrazine Ligation

Creator:: Bednar, Riley M.
Abstract:: Immobilized proteins are integral components of a number of important technologies, including the principal component of many biosensors, as functional coatings in various implants, as catalysts is industrial biosynthesis, and as the building blocks of next-generation nanotechnologies. Despite their ubiquity, relatively little is known about the processes that shape immobilized...

Defining the Role of Tyrosine Nitration in Biology with Genetic Code Expansion

Creator:: Porter, Joseph J.
Abstract:: The buildup of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNS) is known as oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results in a wide variety of modification to biological macromolecules including nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins. For at least 30 years it has been known that high levels of...

Exploring the System-Based Influences on Professional Goals of Early Career Agriculture Teachers in California: A Phenomenological Approach

Creator:: Ermis, Grant L.
Abstract:: Agriculture teachers, in comparison to other high school teachers, work in more varied and demanding work environments (Terry & Briers, 2010; Torres, Ulmer, & Aschenbrener, 2008). The body of literature studying the impacts of more varied and demanding work environment on early career agriculture teachers (ECATs) is commonly limited to...

Physical activity in children attending family child care homes

Creator:: Rice, Kelly Rae
Abstract:: Family Child Care Homes (FCCHs) are the second largest provider of non-relative care in the U.S. However, despite providing care for nearly 1.9 million children under the age of 5, little is known about the physical activity levels of children attending FCCHs. This dissertation sought to provide new information with...
