  • Pull-Oriented Faculty Development: A Multiple, Descriptive-Explanatory Case Study

    Creator:
    Barner, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Traditional faculty development programs aimed at disseminating research-based pedagogy and innovations at potential adopters have helped increase awareness of these innovations; however, their adoption into engineering classrooms has been limited. This paper aims to present an alternative, pull-oriented approach to faculty development where faculty participants co-develop curricular innovations with engineering...

  • Processes of orientation to the informal caregiving role among Mexican-origin women : a qualitative analysis

    Creator:
    McDermott, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the steps that were taken to develop thematic findings using data from a qualitative study. Using a grounded approach, the study focused on qualitatively exploring Mexican origin caregivers' conceptualizations of elder caregiving in terms of role functioning, social norms, cultural beliefs, and familial obligations. Data collected from...

  • Who Drops Out of DSME Programs? An Intersectional Analysis

    Creator:
    Julyan, Esmeralda Janeth
    Abstract:
    A critical component in diabetes management is diabetes self-management education (DSME). Additionally, poor self-management behavior and negative health outcomes are associated with participants that do not complete diabetes education (Gurdiacci et al., 2007). Despite the widespread use of DSME, many do not obtain the wide range of benefits these programs...

  • Reversible Covalent Immobilization of Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) on Aminated Polystyrene Beads for Citrate-Bound Fe(III) Chelation

    Creator:
    Touma, Jad G.
    Abstract:
    The immobilization of chelators to solid supports has recently gained renewed interest due to the increasing biomedical and environmental applications made possible by these molecules’ ability to bind Fe(III) and other metal ions. The uses of immobilized chelators have expanded to include the treatment of metal overload in serum, the...

  • African American/Black Upward Mobility through Sports : A Critical Analysis

    Creator:
    Smith, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Research has shown that African Americans/Blacks, especially those with low socioeconomic status, acknowledge athletics as an avenue for upward mobility (Coakley, 2011). Although the chances of becoming a professional athlete might seem unachievable through sports, athletes develop tangible and intangible abilities that transfer and are useful in the years following...

  • Effectual Entrepreneurship and its Application to a Microfluidics R&D Startup

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew E.
    Abstract:
    An inventor seeks to leverage his unique means in order to create and commercially exploit new technologies. Until new technologies are sufficiently developed, they have the theoretical potential for commercial exploitation in a wide range of markets. Those opportunities are limited by physical bounds that are often only discovered through...

  • Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

    Creator:
    Dawes, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

  • Overstory Growth, Structural Development, and Regeneration Success Following Uneven-Aged Conversion Treatments in Douglas-fir Plantation of the Cascade Range in Oregon

    Creator:
    Marcum, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Uneven-aged management has been suggested as a method for balancing biodiversity conservation and wood production goals from managed forests in a variety of regions. In coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest, implementation of uneven-aged management is hindered by a lack of experience with uneven-aged silvicultural systems, including...
