  • An Investigation of Age-Related Differences in Value-Driven Attentional Capture

    Creator:
    Naylor, Jamie
    Abstract:
    Previous research on age-related differences in attentional capture has indicated that older adults are more susceptible to distraction than younger adults and this has been interpreted as a reduced capacity to inhibit distraction in late life.

  • Longitudinal Effects in GafChromic® Film

    Creator:
    Durham, Shannon
    Abstract:
    Radiochromic film dosimetry offers many advantages over standard film that requires wet chemical processing. Radiochromic film offers: a permanent color change upon irradiation; high spatial resolution; a response that is independent of energy, particle type, and angle of incidence; near tissue equivalence; and a wide dosimetric range. However, there are...

  • 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...

  • Temperature effects on growth and nutrient concentration in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, Schreb.) selections differing in forage yield

    Creator:
    Rizzio, Rioh
    Abstract:
    This study was undertaken to better understand plant characteristics related to high and low forage yield in tall fescue selections as affected by temperature. Dry matter distribution into yield components in three different temperature regimes was evaluated. Root growth, dark respiration and nutrient concentration were also examined. The four diverse...
