  • Finding techknowledgey : students' navigations of an institution's technological landscape

    Creator:
    Dean, Allyson S.
    Abstract:
    This study explored how students navigate the technological landscape of a public, land-grant institution. Through online surveys and semi-structured, one-on-one interviews, the study operated through an anticipatory/participatory lens to research with the intent of understanding students' experiences with technology at a research institution. Using this methodology and Triandis and Triandis'...

  • An analysis of the impacts extractive industries have on African ape conservation and community development - trends towards community involvement in conservation

    Creator:
    Vise, Ruby S.
    Abstract:
    Primate populations are declining in number, with an estimated “60% of primate species threatened with extinction from hunting and trapping” (Estrada et al., 2017). The largest threat to mammals in West and Central Africa is commercial hunting (Jost Robinson, Daspit, & Remis, 2011). Hunting these large mammals was once practiced...

  • Imaging fluorescent determination of energetics of chloroplast division and related matters

    Creator:
    Zheng, Ping
    Abstract:
    During exploration of imaging photosynthetic fluorimetry of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, we discovered a novel phenomenon wherein photosynthetic efficiency (defined in Ning et al., 1995) is shown to plot in discrete groups. This exploration resulted first in the development of a spectrofluorometric method that apparently allows for in vivo observation of...

  • Degradation kinetics of taxol using mass spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jun
    Abstract:
    Paclitaxel is a very important anticancer drug commonly called Taxol®. We know from previous work (Hoffman, et al., 1998) that Taxol exists in filbert, Corylus avellana L. material. Quantification of Taxol in filbert plant material is painstaking and hitherto was accomplished by rapidly processing single batches in a complicated procedure...

  • Model of student understanding of probability in modern physics

    Creator:
    Wattanakasiwich, Pornrat
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to investigate students' models of probability in a modern physics context. The study was divided into three phases. The first phase explored student pre-knowledge about probability before modem physics instruction. The second phase investigated student understanding of concepts related to probability such as wave-particle behavior, the uncertainty...

  • International Student Perceptions of Campus Services

    Creator:
    Kuan, Jennifer S.
    Abstract:
    International students are a growing population at many institutions of higher education in the United States, and they face unique challenges in navigating both higher education and the United States as a whole. Though there is significant research about international students, few studies have examined how international students perceive student...

  • Cultivating Connection: Successful Relationship Building Strategies for Peer Mentors

    Creator:
    Eng, Kayleen S.
    Abstract:
    While it can be said that peer mentor-mentee relationships in college can lead to meaningful connections and interpersonal support, there is a lack of literature about how exactly mentor-relationship connections are made. This study examines the relationship building strategies that peer mentors used to connect with their mentees in the...

  • Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and their Sense of Belonging on U.S College Campuses

    Creator:
    Elsheikh, Weam R.
    Abstract:
    Third Culture Kids (TCKs) are a rapidly emerging student population within colleges and universities. TCKs must balance the myriad of experiences of growing up among worlds with the amplified implications that it entails as college students (Van Reken & Pollock, 2010). This study attempts to fill the gap between the...

  • Women, poverty, and educational success : a critical exploration of low-income women's experience in community colleges

    Creator:
    Barry, Kate R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to critically explore low-income women's experience as they negotiate post secondary education in community colleges. Three research questions explore the context through which low-income women have entered the college experience, what that experience is like for them, and how the community college experience has...

  • Numerical inversion of laplace transforms by the trapezoidal-type methods

    Creator:
    Lin, FuSen F.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...
