  • Predicting Help-Seeking Attitudes and Intentions and Life Satisfaction of First-Generation South Asian Americans Based on Acculturation Levels, Select Demographics, and Forms of Racial Stereotyping

    Creator:
    Michaels, Krupali S.
    Abstract:
    The literature on first-generation South Asian American (SAA) mental health is limited despite the increased focus of studies on help-seeking behaviors and subjective well-being over the past decade. Therefore, we designed a web-based survey seeking to address two research questions. Research Question 1 informed Study 1 of this dissertation project:...

  • Counseling Sex Trafficking Survivors: Considerations for the Mental Health Profession

    Creator:
    Mays, Cheri N.
    Abstract:
    As more awareness of the global issue of sex trafficking comes to light, counselors must prepare to provide therapeutic services to this specific client population (Litam & Lam, 2021). Individuals who have survived sex trafficking are entering mental health counseling practices and community agencies regularly (Ide & Mather, 2019); yet,...

  • Micro total analysis system for in-situ and autonomous spectrophotometric monitoring of iron in groundwater

    Creator:
    Koch, Corey R.
    Abstract:
    We have developed a compact micro total analysis system (μTAS) to serve as a platform for in-situ spectrophotometric water quality monitoring. Individual fluidic, optical, and electrical components were designed, developed, and characterized. These components were combined in both an integrated (single lithographic “chip-based” platform) and a modular manner. The microfluidic...

  • A Corpus Linguistic Study of Grief

    Creator:
    Ramakrishna, Nandini J.
    Abstract:
    The counseling profession has historically adopted a one-size-fits-all approach toward addressing bereavement. However, there is an emerging paradigm-shift in grief therapy that has been enabled by recent research that differentiates, for example, between types of grief and styles of grieving. This research project contributes to this nuanced approach to grief...

  • New methods for finite field arithmetic

    Creator:
    Yanik, Tuğrul
    Abstract:
    We describe novel methods for obtaining fast software implementations of the arithmetic operations in the finite field GF(p) and GF(p[superscript k]). In GF(p) we realize an extensive speedup in modular addition and subtraction routines and some small speedup in the modular multiplication routine with an arbitrary prime modulus p which...

  • An Empirical Study of Work-zone Safety and Mobility Using Surveys and Anonymous User Generated Trip Information

    Creator:
    Fiawoyife, Kenneth K.
    Abstract:
    The two primary considerations for highway work-zones are its effect on commuter mobility and worker safety which are often spoken of together. However, it must be noted that they often conflict with each other. For example, traffic control plans that reduce travel speed in work-zones improve both commuter and worker...

  • Linguistic Characteristics of Health Anxiety from Online Discourse

    Creator:
    McBride, Christopher G.
    Abstract:
    Health anxiety prevalence is increasing (Tyrer et al., 2019). Health anxiety is a preoccupation or overestimation of the serious physiological symptoms that cause significant distress (Salkovskis & Warwick, 2001). Those with health anxiety may endure significant suffering, intense misery, and for some health anxiety leads to suicide (Tyrer & Tyrer...

  • Cross-Validation of Two Supervision Instruments with Counseling Trainees from CACREP-accredited Programs

    Creator:
    Litherland, Gideon R.
    Abstract:
    Supervision is considered a pivotal professional intervention for counselors-in-training as they develop during graduate education and beyond. But, research on clinical supervision suffers from a lack of common instruments that can be utilized across disciplines, including counseling, and national boundaries. While a complex phenomenon to empirically address through research, supervision...

  • New Insights on the Southern Ocean Carbon Cycle from Biogeochemical Argo Floats

    Creator:
    Williams, Nancy L.
    Abstract:
    The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the ocean’s uptake of heat and carbon yet the processes controlling this uptake are not well understood. To date, more than 100 biogeochemical profiling floats that measure water column pH, oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and backscattering at 10-day intervals have been deployed throughout...

    Creator:
    Cressman, Luke R.
    Abstract:
    The finite element software framework, OpenSees, has been used by researchers to simulate the response of structural and geotechnical systems to earthquake loading. Implementation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has made it possible to simulate hydrodynamic forces through fluid-structure interaction (FSI) in OpenSees. To validate the FSI implementation...
