High speed motion neutron radiography

Creator:: Bossi, Richard Henry
Abstract:: A system to perform neutron radiographic analysis of dynamic events taking place over the order of several milliseconds has been developed at Oregon State University. The design consists of a TRIGA reactor capable of pulsing to 3000 MW peak power, a neutron beam collimator with an L/D of about 30:1,...

Profiles of Children’s Cognitive Self-Regulation Around the Transition to School

Creator:: Miao, Alicia J.
Abstract:: Cognitive self-regulation and the behavioral manifestations of cognitive self-regulation are important aspects of school readiness, yet less is known about the variation in measurement modalities within children. In this dissertation, two studies examined the makeup, antecedents, and consequents of constellations of cognitive self-regulation (CSR) measures around the transition to formal...

"We are not all one puzzle piece" : youth voice, homelessness, and positive youth development

Creator:: Nott, Brooke Dolenc
Abstract:: Positive youth development posits that all youth possess the capacity to change and grow as they interact with their contexts. That capacity is activated and nurtured by a beneficial ecological environment often unavailable for homeless youth. Only a limited number of studies focus on the positive development and strengths of...

An analysis of Maria Montessori’s theory of normalization in light of emerging research in self-regulation

Creator:: Lloyd, Kathleen M.
Abstract:: The regulation of behavior is a major issue in early childhood development, with important implications for children’s adaptive and maladaptive developmental outcomes. Emerging research suggests that the degree of successful self-regulation depends upon the efficiency of the child’s attentional system and that the ability to focus and sustain attention supports...

Examining the Contribution of Self-Regulation and Executive Function Skills to School Readiness and Longer-Term Achievement Gaps: A Replication and Extension in Statewide and National Datasets

Creator:: Finders, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: Self-regulation in early childhood encompasses higher-order executive function processes and lower-order emotional responses that enable children to navigate the classroom environment. Although self-regulation and executive functions are overlapping constructs, self-regulation represents a broad assessment of children’s ability to call upon executive function processes in order to meet contextual demands. Prior...

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...

Monte Carlo Radiation Transfer Simulations of Gamma Ray Burst Prompt Emission

Creator:: Parsotan, Tyler M.
Abstract:: Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe, producing up to $\sim10^{53}$ ergs of energy in the first few seconds of their emission -- the so-called prompt phase that is dominated by high energy X-ray and $\gamma$-ray photons. The very large luminosities released in these events...

Promoting Executive Function in Children from American Indian, Alaska Native, and Other Underserved Races/Ethnicities: Examining Risk and Resilience Factors in the Environment

Creator:: Merculief, Alexis
Abstract:: In the United States, children from underserved racial/ethnic backgrounds encounter greater environmental risk both in terms of the physical environment (e.g., housing quality, access to resources like health services and jobs, and exposure to environmental toxins) and the social environment (e.g., social support, neighborhood crime, racism, and discrimination), due to...
