An assessment of plant community structure, herbivory, soils, and state-and-transition theory on a winterfat (Krascheninnikovia lanata [Pursh] A.D.J. Meeuse & Smit) ecological site

Creator:: Matney, Casey A.
Abstract:: State-and-transition models (STMs) have been successfully used to describe ecological dynamics in woodlands, shrublands, grasslands, and several other ecosystems. Changes in vegetation and soil are measured to gauge and predict plant community dynamics within ecological states and transitions between alternative ecological states. Ecological states and their boundaries are defined by...

Community leaders' perspectives of a rural community college's impact on community development

Creator:: Thomas, Reine M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this qualitative research study was to examine the role a rural community college plays in the development of its community, using a holistic, community-based lens that considered college and community context, interactions and results to answer the question: How does the rural community college impact the development...

Hydrophobicity, Anion Exchange, and Phytoaccumulation of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS): Retention and Remediation

Creator:: Parker, Bethany A.
Abstract:: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of contaminants of great concern due to their toxicity and ubiquity in the environment. Remediation efforts historically have focused on granular activated carbon (GAC) because of its low maintenance and relatively low cost. However, GAC is not PFAS selective and is especially...

Responsive pedagogies of practice : Researching an ambitious secondary mathematics teacher education design

Creator:: Campbell, Matthew Paul, 1983-
Abstract:: Design in secondary mathematics teacher education must prepare teacher candidates to do the work of ambitious and equitable mathematics teaching with skill by situating development in the work of teaching and incorporating opportunities to investigate and enact teaching. Teacher education designs must also be responsive to the work that mathematics...

Student leadership development within student government at Snow College

Creator:: Wilson, Gordon Ned
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to describe the leadership development process of former student leaders at Snow College. More specifically, the study focused on understanding how, when, and where leadership development took place in their "lived experience" within the student government at Snow College (Van Manen, 1998). Examining the...

Synthesis and characterization of aluminum oxide based materials - from molecule to device

Creator:: Wang, Wei
Abstract:: A scalable synthesis of the "flat" tridecameric inorganic cluster [Al₁₃(μ₃-OH)₆(μ-OH)₁₈(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁵⁺ has been realized by treating an aqueous aluminum nitrate solution with zinc-metal powder at room temperature. Single crystals and polycrystalline samples are readily obtained in yields exceeding 55% relative to the starting reagent Al(NO₃)₃. Products have been characterized by X-ray...

Animal Farming, Pollution, and Community Health

Creator:: Weinerman, Michael A.
Abstract:: Health effects stemming from animal feeding operations pollution in the contiguous United States are analyzed using a 20-year, county-level data set. Several quasi-experimental, potential outcome models are used to estimate the impact of high concentrations of animal units on mortality rates and other health and economic outcomes over a 20-year...

Polyoxoniobates: fundamental solubility trend and their application in solution and on the surface of thin films

Creator:: Rahman, Tasnim
Abstract:: Polyoxometalates (POMs) are anions consisting of three or more early transition metals ™ (Gr V and VI) oxoanions (in their highest oxidation state) linked together by a shared oxygen bond to form a 3D framework. Polyoxometalates (POMs) are a rapidly growing class of metal oxo clusters with a wide range...

Using Computational Studies to Characterize Aqueous Metal Clusters : From Spectroscopy to Stability

Creator:: Wills, Lindsay A.
Abstract:: In this dissertation, the spectroscopic properties and thermodynamic stability of a class of materials known as metal oxo and hydroxo clusters are studied. In aqueous solutions, many metals can aggregate into discrete clusters of metals bridged by oxo or hydroxo ligands. These clusters are of particular interest to us for...

Supporting children who struggle with self-regulation : the role of early family risk and child care quality

Creator:: Pratt, Megan E.
Abstract:: Children's early self-regulation skills have long-term implications for a variety of academic, social, and health outcomes. Unfortunately, children facing multiple family risk factors (e.g., harsh parenting, economic disadvantage) are more likely to struggle with early self-regulation. Despite early disparities in self-regulation, promising intervention evidence suggests that high quality prekindergarten experiences...
