Assessing water governance capacity in MENA : applying an institutional document analysis to Jordan

Creator:: Brown, Bridget N.
Abstract:: Water governance has been identified as a crucial component to improving conditions and balancing supply and demand of water resources in the water-scarce Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Finding a method for, and commencing the process of, evaluating water governance is thus imperative. This study analyzes the potential to...

Factors affecting contraceptive use among women of reproductive age in northern Jordan : a framework for health policy action

Creator:: Hijazi, Heba Hesham
Abstract:: Jordan has a higher fertility rate (3.8) than the averages of countries similar in income to Jordan (2.2) and compared to the Middle East and North Africa region as a whole (2.8) (WHO, WB, UNICEF, & DHS, 2011). The findings of the 2009 Jordanian Population and Family Health Survey demonstrated...

Investigations into the Mechanism of Action of Dengue Virus Inhibitor Compounds

Creator:: Schneider, Christine A.
Abstract:: Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...

Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

Creator:: Johnson, Kristin Renee
Abstract:: Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

An investigation of Oregon weight-in-motion data for bridge rating implementation and evaluation

Creator:: Pelphrey, Jordan Michael
Abstract:: The LRFR Manual, within commentary Article C6.4.4.2.3, contains provisions for development of site-specific live load factors. In Oregon, truck Weigh-in-Motion (WIM) data were used to develop live load factors for use on state-owned bridges. The factors were calibrated using the same statistical methods that were used in the original development...

Effect of Active Trailing Edge Motion Upon Airfoil Energy Harvester

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The application of a flapping foil with prescribed trailing edge motion to energy harvesting in a low reduced frequency (k = fc/U∞) regime was experimentally studied. The effects of the phase and amplitude of the applied trailing edge motion upon time-variant power extraction capability have been measured and are interpreted....

Understanding Aquifer Water Retention Dynamics Using Groundwater Head Relaxation Time

Creator:: Jimmie, Jordan A.
Abstract:: Diking and channelizing in the Toppenish Creek basin, associated with irrigated agricultural development, has altered its natural ecosystem function and hydraulic processes. We seek to answer two research questions: if surface waters are diverted for aquifer recharge in the winter, will this water be available for ecosystem function in the...

Assessing mental workload and situation awareness in the evaluation of real-time, critical user interfaces

Creator:: Strawn, Jordan J.
Abstract:: While there are many ways to evaluate a user interface design, the user's mental workload and situation awareness (SA) are particularly important considerations in the supervisory control of safety-critical systems. Typically, operators of these systems must monitor high-volume, time-sensitive status information. Interface design for this domain can be challenging and...

Plant Species Diversity and Pasture Productivity of a High-input Dairy Pastureland System and a Low-input Sheep Pastureland System in Western Oregon, USA

Creator:: Anderson, Jordan D.
Abstract:: The sustainable use of natural resources, including the goods and services provided by pasturelands and rangelands, is of growing importance due to climatic uncertainty and population growth. Maintaining high productivity in livestock operations is necessary as land availability diminishes and global populations rise. The potential negative impacts to the environment...

Public Perception of Police Responses to Homelessness: Results from a Factorial Survey

Creator:: Monyhan, Jordan
Abstract:: Visible homelessness is a complex and enduring issue that remains salient in policymaking and political realms. In response to homeless individuals living their lives in public spaces, many cities have enacted civility codes or laws that address quality of life concerns in an attempt to remove visible signs of homelessness...
