Application of biomarker compounds as tracers for sources and fates of natural and anthropogenic organic matter in the environment

Creator:: Oros, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Determination of the source and fate of natural (higher plant lipids, marine lipids, etc.) and anthropogenically (e.g., petroleum, coal emissions) derived hydrocarbons and oxygenated compounds in the environment was accomplished using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to characterize or identify molecular biomarkers to be utilized as tracers....

An assessment of the relationship between culturally specific coping methods and occupational stress for black male counselor educators : Implications for increased diversity in CACREP accredited programs

Creator:: Dempsey, Keith
Abstract:: The absence of Black male counselor educators in CACREP accredited programs is astounding. Out of a pool of 130 CACREP programs, only 31 have at least one Black male full time counselor educator. Although these programs are comprised of approximately 2,000 counselor educators, only 58 of them are Black men....

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...

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...

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...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

Comparative foraging ecology of five species of Pacific seabirds : multi-scale analyses of marine habitat use

Creator:: Suryan, Robert
Abstract:: Seabirds are an integral component of marine ecosystems, however, because humans typically observe only snapshots of their lives at sea, our understanding of seabird foraging ecology is often limited. A more complete understanding of the ecological roles of seabirds and identification of critical foraging habitats requires the ability to follow...

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...

Essays on behavioral economics

Creator:: Cao, Zheng
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of two essays that address behavioral economics issues. In first chapter we analyze the effects of psychological pressure on performance using National Basketball Association (NBA) free throw data from the 2002-2003 through 2009-2010 seasons. We find evidence that players choke under pressure – they shoot on average...

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....
