High-context and low-context cultures: value system variations for American and Japanese university students and their resultant communication patterns

Creator:: Yamaguchi, Shinobu Yume
Abstract:: This exploratory investigation focused on the validity of the concepts of high-context and low-context as a meaningful and powerful construct for examining cultural differences. Specifically, American and Japanese value differences and communication patterns were examined. The study tested the hypotheses that Japanese students would rank high-context group orientation values higher...

Exploring the structural dynamics of human understanding : an historico-philosophical analysis of the problem of meaning in Heidegger and Bohr

Creator:: Tattersall, Mason
Abstract:: This dissertation explores the structural dynamics of human understanding and particularly the concept of meaning and its connections to concepts of ultimate ground, necessity and contingency, language, and perception. It focuses on the history of the concept of meaning in early twentieth-century European physics and philosophy, through an analysis of...

Characterization, epidemiology, and ecology of a virus associated with black raspberry decline

Creator:: Halgren, Anne B.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to characterize an unknown agent associated with decline in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis) in Oregon. A virus was found consistently associated with decline symptoms of black raspberries and was named Black raspberry decline associated virus (BRDaV). Double stranded RNA extraction from BRDaV-infected black raspberry...

Worldminded Attitudes of Japanese College Students in Japan and in the United States

Creator:: Ishida, Etsuko
Abstract:: This study focused on the worldminded attitudes of Japanese college students in Japan and in the United States. The effects of studying abroad and the change in attitudes between Japanese college male students and female students were examined in terms of worldmindedness, which is defined as a frame of reference,...

Linguistic, Personological Features, and Collocations of the Doka & Martin Grieving Style Continuum

Creator:: Geisler, James G.
Abstract:: Research on grief has been studied for nearly a century to understand its many facets, expressiveness, and timing. In the field of counseling, many changes in theories, models, and the lenses through which loss is responded to have been accomplished. However, one constant in the U.S. culture is that definitions...

Bacterial community analysis, new exoelectrogen isolation and enhanced performance of microbial electrochemical systems using nano-decorated anodes

Creator:: Xu, Shoutao
Abstract:: Microbial electrochemical systems (MESs) have attracted much research attention in recent years due to their promising applications in renewable energy generation, bioremediation, and wastewater treatment. In a MES, microorganisms interact with electrodes via electrons, catalyzing oxidation and reduction reactions at the anode and the cathode. The bacterial community of a...

Customizable Visual Traces for Program Explanations

Creator:: Bajaj, Divya
Abstract:: Correctness and efficiency are important properties of programs. However, to support maintenance and debugging, the programs should also be understandable. Program explanations also play a vital role in educational settings, enhancing the understanding of programs among students. Proof trees provide a sound basis for generating dynamic explanations of programs. But...

Update programming -- a safe approach to software maintenance

Creator:: Ren, Deling
Abstract:: Software maintenance accounts for a large portion of the software development cost, particularly the process of updating programs either to adapt for requirement change or to enhance design or efficiency. Currently, program updates are generally performed manually by programmers using text editors. This is an unreliable method because syntax and...

Executable semantics for PLEXIL : simulating a task-scheduling language in Haskell

Creator:: Strauss, Paul J.
Abstract:: An interdisciplinary study into the theory of design decisions has yielded a model for tracking design changes in hardware/software systems, but it still needs to be applied to a larger system to test its efficiency at tracking important data. This thesis creates an implementation of PLEXIL, a language in development...

The Fitness Costs and Regulatory Strategies of Cooperative Siderophore Production in Pseudomonas

Creator:: Sexton, David
Abstract:: Cooperative behaviors in bacteria are increasingly appreciated for their relevance to microbial ecology and utility as model systems for social evolution. One example is the secretion of siderophores, a structurally diverse group of compounds that chelate extracellular iron. Siderophore production is considered cooperative because the benefits can be shared with...
