Factors associated with the implementation fidelity of a school-based social and character development program : findings from the Positive Action program, Hawai’i

Creator:: Beets, Michael W.
Abstract:: Implementation fidelity (dosage, adherence, quality of delivery, responsiveness, program differentiation) is the degree to which a program was carried out to its original intent. The following three studies examined the implementation fidelity of a school-based health promotion social and character development (SACD) program. The, Positive Action (PA) program was a...

The aging endoplasmic reticulum

Creator:: Dixon, Brian M.
Abstract:: Hallmarks of aging include the accumulation of aberrant proteins and a lower resistance to stresses. Because the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) functions to fold proteins and possesses unique stress sensing pathways, the central hypothesis of this dissertation is that the ER is a target of cellular aging and significantly underlies these...

Biomechanics of dependent transfers on an aircraft

Creator:: Higginson, Brian Keith
Abstract:: The dependent transfer of a traveler with disabilities on board an aircraft places the transferors, as well as the traveler, at risk of disabling lower back injury. This risk is increased on board an aircraft due to the confined space in which the transfer takes place. The purpose of the...

Development and characterization of novel hydrogels for nucleus pulposus replacement

Creator:: Bader, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: Hydrogels have been proposed as candidates for nucleus pulposus replacement due to their similarity in mechanical behavior to the native tissue when subjected to transient or static loading; however, given the viscoelastic nature of soft biological tissues, the lack of dynamic testing is a significant inadequacy in the studies performed...

Numerical study of droplet formation with nozzle dynamics and multiple droplet impingement

Creator:: Sangplung, Saangrut
Abstract:: Droplet formation from a flexible nozzle plate driven by a prescribed-waveform excitation of a piezoelectric is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the VOF method. The droplet generator with a flexible nozzle plate, which is free to vibrate due to the pressure acting on the plate,...

Uranium and technetium bio-immobilization in intermediate-scale physical models of an in situ bio-barrier

Creator:: Michalsen, Mandy M.
Abstract:: Metal and hydrogen ion acidity and extreme nitrate concentrations typical of Department of Energy (DOE) legacy waste sites pose formidable challenges to successful implementation of in situ bio-immobilization. Intermediate-scale (~ 2.5 m), flow through models of an in situ bio-barrier were constructed to investigate U and Tc removal from groundwater...

From electrophoresis to dielectrophoresis: designing, fabricating, and evaluating an electroformed ratchet type microfluidic dielectrophoresis device

Creator:: Gonzalez, Carlos F.
Abstract:: Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a separation method in which a non-uniform electric field is used to induce a dipole moment in a suspended particle. If the polarization of the particle is greater than that of the suspending medium, the particle will move towards the region of higher field strength (positive DEP);...

Effect of PZT driving waveform and frequency on meniscus shape and dropon-demand droplet formation parameters

Creator:: Yang, Guozhong
Abstract:: For piezoelectric stack (PZT) driven droplet generator, the driving waveform and driving frequency effect on liquid filament shape and droplet characteristics have been experimentally studied. The experimental study was based on a PZT driven droplet generator with known geometric design parameters and working fluid properties. A lumped-element-model (LEM) constructed to...

Fatigue and fracture of bulk metallic glasses : role of free volume

Creator:: Launey, Maximilien E.
Abstract:: Deformation of metallic glasses requires the existence of free volume to allow atomic movement under mechanical loading. Accordingly, the present research seeks to understand how free volume variations in alloys of identical compositions affect the fatigue and fracture behavior. By annealing below the glass transition temperature, the free volume of...

Phosphorus physiology and environmental forcing of oceanic cyanobacteria, primarily Trichodesmium spp.

Creator:: White, Angelicque E.
Abstract:: The biological transformation of dinitrogen gas (N2) into combined forms(termed N2 fixation) by certain genera of oceanic cyanobacteria represents the largest incoming flux of nitrogen to the global ocean. As such, biological nitrogen fixation plays a significant role in the regulation of oceanic productivity and the export of carbon and...
