  • Effect of Audible Static on Blood Pressure Measurement by Doppler Ultrasound Sphygmomanometry in Cats

    Creator:
    Uematsu, Sayaka
    Abstract:
    Systemic hypertension, a persistent elevation in systemic arterial blood pressure (BP), is a well-recognized disorder in cats. Failing to diagnose it accurately could lead to organ damage or unnecessary lifelong therapy. Doppler ultrasonic flow detectors are commonly used for indirect BP measurements in cats. However, whether the audible static from...

  • Parameter estimation of Gaussian hierarchical model using Gibbs sampling

    Creator:
    Mbuthia, Juliana
    Abstract:
    Gibbs sampling method is an important tool used in parameter estimation for many probabilistic models. Specifically, for many scenarios, it is difficult to generate high-dimensional data samples from its joint distribution. The Gibbs sampling provides a way to draw high-dimensional data via the conditional distributions which are typically easier to...

  • Abrupt deglacial climate changes in the North Pacific and implications for climate tipping points

    Creator:
    Praetorius, Summer Kate
    Abstract:
    Paleoclimate archives have revealed abrupt climate events that are superimposed on more gradual climate changes throughout the last glacial and deglacial periods. The underlying causes of such rapid climate changes are still poorly understood, but the strong expression of these events in northern hemisphere records likely points to climatic mechanisms...

  • More than a term : a consideration of how to support generation 1.5 students at colleges and universities

    Creator:
    Wimberly, Elizabeth Summer
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, Elizabeth Summer Wimberly details the profile of generation 1.5 students as a group of students who can need extra support in higher education. Generation 1.5 students stand distinct from both international students and native, monolingual students. As such, placing generation 1.5 students in either a mainstream or...

  • The dynamic shear moduli of blubber for selected large whale species

    Creator:
    Summers, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Whale blubber is the insular tissue layer located between the dermis and the superficial fascia layer which sheathes the whale's musculature. It is made up of a lipid matrix ramified with strong, structural collagen and elastic fiber bundles, but little is known of its mechanical properties. Knowing these properties adds...

  • The Ecological Recovery of Saguaro National Park after Removal of Cattle Grazing and Associated Succession

    Creator:
    Summers, Ryan J.
    Abstract:
    In the area that is now Saguaro National Park East, grazing began in the 1880's. Because of the impact to the iconic saguaro cactus as well as all palatable plant species in the area, ecological damage in the park were determined to be so great that anti-grazing conservationists challenged the...

  • Under the Shadow of this Red Rock: Reading T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land for its Places, Persons, and Poetics

    Creator:
    Summers, Stephen James
    Abstract:
    Thomas Stearns Eliot’s 1922 modernist poem The Waste Land presents itself as an alternative to the decaying society Eliot found himself inhabiting. It begins as a personal means of pulling together one’s fragmented consciousness, but in doing so Eliot manages to present a solution to a world of selfishness—looking beyond...

  • Stags of the Sea or Hedgehogs of the Harbor? Inferring the Point of Sculpin Cranial Weaponry

    Creator:
    Buser, Thaddaeus J.
    Abstract:
    Animal weapons are thought to have evolved to compete for reproductive opportunities within a species. Across the diverse weapon-bearing taxa, several evolutionary trends have emerged: (1) increasing complexity and relative size across ontogeny, (2) sexual dimorphism, and (3) higher levels of random deviations from symmetry (i.e., fluctuating asymmetry) than non-weaponized...
