  • The relationship between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables among Oregon public school teacher-coaches : identifying coping strategies

    Creator:
    Kosa, Boonsong
    Abstract:
    The purposes of this study were to determine relationships between burnout and selected demographic and job-related variables and to identify burnout coping strategies commonly used by teacher-coaches in public secondary schools. A volunteer sample of 193 teacher-coaches responded to a three-section questionnaire composed of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Jaloweic...

  • The application of item response theory in the cross-cultural validation of the physical estimation and attraction scale

    Creator:
    Charoenruk, Kongsak
    Abstract:
    The purposes of this study were to (a) outline a three-stage methodology combining functional/conceptual equivalence, item equivalence, and equivalence in construct operationalization to investigate the cross-cultural validity of psychological test instruments, and (b) to examine the cross-cultural equivalence of the Physical Estimation and Attraction Scale (Sonstroem, 1978) for English-speaking and...

  • Dogs, Death, and Dietary Breadth: Insights into the Macroecology and Macroevolution of Canidae

    Creator:
    Tanis, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    The size, shape, and stability of a species’ dietary niche can both influence and reflect a variety of biological patterns, including species interactions, extinction risk, and ecosystem function. This is particularly apparent when dietary changes manifest at ecosystem and clade scales to profoundly affect macroecological and macroevolutionary trajectories. However, many...

  • Linking Space, Time, and Elevation through Diet: Stable Isotope Analysis of Functionally Diverse Rodents in the Great Basin

    Creator:
    Taylor, David S.
    Abstract:
    Ecology is focused on understanding how organisms interact with each other and their environments, across ecological, spatial, and temporal scales. Thus, understanding how processes and patterns of ecological systems change across space and time is a principle goal for conservation biologist globally. While many approaches exist for investigating the changing...

  • The exercise motivation scale : its multifaceted structure and construct validity

    Creator:
    Li, Fuzhong
    Abstract:
    Building upon Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991) self-determination theory as well as previous empirical work on motivation, the present study was designed to develop a multifaceted 31-item Exercise Motivation Scale (EMS). A series of pilot studies were first conducted in order to generate the 31 scale items. The EMS was...

  • Context and Scale Mediate the Impact of Climate on a Widespread Avian Predator

    Creator:
    Brawner, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic climate change is threatening biodiversity as I currently understand it. There is now a large body of work highlighting species responses, globally, to this threat. Importantly, responses at the species level emerge from responses at lower levels of biological organization (individuals and populations) across a species’ geographic range. For...

  • The quantitative evaluation of radiological workplace indicators

    Creator:
    Brock, Terry A.
    Abstract:
    Two research studies at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site and Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) explore the quantitative relationship between surface contamination, airborne radioactivity, worker intakes, and subsequent dose. In the first study, resuspension factors are developed and evaluated at the U.S. Department of Energy's (U.S. DOE)...

  • 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...

  • Physical and chemical properties of ribonuclease T₁

    Creator:
    Miller, Terry L.
    Abstract:
    The spectrophotometric titration of the tyrosine residues, their reaction with N-acetylimidazole, and the effect of pH on the thermally induced conformational transition of ribonuclease T₁ have been investigated. The results of spectrophotometric titration in 0.20 M KCl/0.001 M sodium phosphate suggest that titration of the tyrosine residues occurs in two...

  • The effects of high-impact exercise on bone mass in adolescent girls

    Creator:
    Witzke, Kara A.
    Abstract:
    We evaluated anthropometric and performance measures which best predict bone mineral density (BMD) in 54 adolescent girls (14.6±0.5y; 22.7±14.0 months past menarche). BMD for the whole body, femoral neck, greater trochanter, lumbar spine (L2-L4), and mid-femoral shaft was assessed using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (Hologic QDR 1000/W). Whole body lean...
