"Land of War and Blood" : spectacular violence, conflicting medievalisms, and chivalric legacies in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones

Creator:: Horton, Kaely
Abstract:: This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...

Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Broad-scale Predictive Models : Influences of Scale

Creator:: Hooper, Samuel
Abstract:: Developing accurate predictive distribution models requires adequately representing relevant spatial and temporal scales, as these scales are ultimately reflective of the relationships between distributions and influential environmental conditions. In this research, we considered both spatial and temporal scale and the influence each has on predicting broad-scale distributions of two disparate...

Forest Decentralization in Ghana: Examining Empowerment of Local Institutions

Creator:: Mawutor, Samuel M.
Abstract:: Decentralizing resource control for community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) is a widely promoted scheme for natural resource governance worldwide. Researchers and policymakers have suggested that this approach has the potential to achieve positive social outcomes and succeed where centralized resource conservation has been inadequate. In reality, the powers transferred are...

Transcriptomic analysis using high-throughput sequencing and DNA microarrays

Creator:: Fox, Samuel E.
Abstract:: Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...

Coming of age in rural America : sense of purpose, coping, and perceived progress toward adulthood

Creator:: Dolenc, Brooke J.
Abstract:: Individuals in their 20s today have more diverse experiences with school, work, and family transitions than previous cohorts. Contemporary young adults take longer to finish school, settle into marriages or partnerships, and begin parenting; they frequently change jobs or hold multiple part-time positions. Little is known about how young adults...

The Association Between Motor Skills and Challenging Behaviours in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

Creator:: Stinson, Jodi D.
Abstract:: Children with developmental disabilities (DDs) have been observed to have delays in motor skills compared to their age-matched peers without disabilities. Empirical research suggests that children with motor skill delays experience more internalizing and externalizing behaviours and that early motor skill difficulties may be an important indicator of future increases...

Enhancing social-emotional and character development for youths' success : a theoretical orientation and an evaluation using a cluster-randomized design

Creator:: Snyder, Frank J.
Abstract:: Interest in social-emotional and character development (SECD) programming has intensified in recent years. SECD-related programs often seek to enhance a variety of health-related outcomes by addressing multiple influences and embracing a comprehensive approach that includes youth, school personnel, families, and communities. Alongside a comprehensive approach arises the need for a...

A Deterministic Photon and Electron Dosimetry Model for the Lens of the Eye

Creator:: Boozer, David L.
Abstract:: The lens dose equivalent (LDE) is a regulatory limit set to protect radiation workers. Current methods for estimating the LDE are specific to beam sources in a vacuum and require interpolating data from tables. A new set of deterministic equations for photon and electron point sources has been developed. These...

Epidemiology, Etiology, Genetics and Predictive Surveillance Modeling of the Deer Chewing Louse Damalinia (Cervicola) Species

Creator:: Mortenson, Jack A.
Abstract:: A seasonal hair-loss syndrome of native deer began to occur in the Pacific Northwest United States in the mid-1990s. Clinical manifestations of the disease typically include large numbers of chewing lice on Columbia Black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) and Columbia White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus leucurus).
