Comparing lifespan and life course perspectives on combat exposure and PTSD symptoms in later life : findings from the normative aging study

Creator:: Kang, Sungrok
Abstract:: We examined how the experiences of World War II and Korean War veterans, including prewar, warzone, and postwar factors, affected PTSD symptoms in later life. This dissertation consists of two studies. In Study 1, four different hypotheses from a lifespan approach were examined (King et al., 1996): stress evaporation (only...

Visualization and characterization of biofilm spatial distribution in porous media using x-ray computed microtomography

Creator:: Iltis, Gabriel C.
Abstract:: This work focuses primarily the development of methods for imaging microbial biofilms in opaque porous media using x-ray computed microtomography (CT). Two methods for evaluating biofilms in porous media are presented. The first focuses on the addition of silver-coated, hollow glass microspheres to a biofilm-containing micro-model. The silver-coated microspheres affix...

Application of buckling behavior to evaluate and control shape variation in high-temperature microlamination

Creator:: Wattanutchariya, Wassanai
Abstract:: The miniaturization of energy, chemical and biological systems for distributed and portable applications, known as process intensification, is realized by the enhancement in heat and mass transfer performance within high surface-to-volume ratio microchannels. Fabrication of devices for process intensification is achieved in part by microlamination techniques. These techniques consist of...

Marine Low Clouds : Radiation, Turbulence, and Forecasting

Creator:: Verlinden, Kathryn L.
Abstract:: High-resolution ship-based observations of a nearly uniform stratocumulus deck in the southeast Pacific during 17 days of the 2008 VOCALS regional experiment elucidate radiation and turbulence in the marine boundary layer (MBL). A new method for prescribing observations-based cloud properties to the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model is presented and applied...

Timelines for English language acquisition : a study of the rates of second language acquisition among Hispanic English language learners including exceptionalities

Creator:: Dixon, Jennifer J.
Abstract:: This study explores No Child Left Behind's required timetable for English language learners (ELLs) to reach English language proficiency within five years, as outlined in the Annual Measurable Achievement Outcomes (AMAOs), despite the lack of research evidence to support this as a reasonable expectation. Analysis was conducted on the archived...

From Micro to Macro: Insights into Biogeochemical Mechanisms that Shape Marine Systems

Creator:: Seabrook, Sarah
Abstract:: Biogeochemical mechanisms employed by key organisms, or symbiotic associations of organisms, transform the function and structure of their environment through processes recognized as ecosystem engineering. This dissertation seeks to investigate organism-ecosystem interactions that serve globally significant ecological functions in marine systems and impact how systems respond to environmental change. Using...

Unraveling the Diagenetic Cycling and Sequestration of Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in Marine Sediments to Understand REE Accumulation in Ancient Shales

Creator:: Yang, Jon
Abstract:: The rare earth elements (REEs) have been established as powerful tracers for a range of physiochemical processes occurring in the natural environment. They also hold significant economic importance as many technological advancements are reliant upon the REEs for their unique magnetic, luminescent, and electrochemical characteristics. In sedimentary settings, understanding the...

Single-Cell Genomics of Uncultivated Marine Bacteria

Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...
