  • Gender Implications of Small Scale Urban Trade in Ukraine

    Creator:
    Kirillova, Lyudmila A.
    Abstract:
    This research project examines the growing informal sector of Ukrainian economy and the way global economic changes affect women's lives. It has been noticed by many Western researchers that women have been among the hardest hit by economic restructuring in Eastern Europe. Marginalization from the official labor force led a...

  • Spatial distribution and the probability of occurrence of beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Alaskan Arctic

    Creator:
    Romeo, Lucy F.
    Abstract:
    The known distribution of beluga whales ranges from sub-Arctic to Arctic waters where they migrate in pods in response to environmental factors such as the presence of sea ice and prey. This study uses bivariate and multivariate analysis techniques to measure how environmental covariates are associated with the spatial-temporal distribution...

  • Low Power Radio : An Antidote for Coastal Visitors Looking but not Seeing!

    Creator:
    Williams, Erin M.
    Abstract:
    State parks in Oregon provide important sites for visitor recreation and natural resource education. With the increasing number of visitors to Oregon coastal parks, tide pools and beach areas, there is growing need for site-specific marine education to enhance stewardship, interpretation and safety knowledge. The Oregon Sea Grant Program and...

  • SSPM-based optical fiber radiation dosimeter

    Creator:
    Konnoff, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Current state-of-the-art environmental, clinical, and in-vivo radiation sensing systems utilizing various inorganic and tissue-equivalent plastic scintillators are not user friendly, suffer from electron-beam-generated noise, and are difficult to deploy successfully for real-time dosimetry. A robust, real-time detection system using different scintillating materials coupled to solid-state detectors by optical fibers is...

  • Evaluation of the stray load losses for a three-phase induction motor

    Creator:
    Nagornyy, Aleksandr S.
    Abstract:
    The evaluation of the stray-load losses in induction motors is an important part of the efficiency estimation process. However, stray-load losses have several components which are difficult to isolate and calculate. Consequently, they are more readily determined by test. IEEE Standard 112-1996 recommends the testing of electrical induction motors at...

  • Poverty and child neglect : subtypes of neglect and stress as a mediator

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Jennifer R.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the association between poverty and child neglect. The existence of a general association has been established for some time. However, there is much debate, and little detailed research, on the specific processes that create this association. This study focused on the form of neglect that involves the...

  • A Comparison and Analysis of Selected Holidays in Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States

    Creator:
    Matyeva, Alima
    Abstract:
    Through comparison and analysis of selected holidays in countries with significantly different features (Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States), this study aims to gauge the impact of holiday celebrations in influencing cultural values in those countries studied. K. Zygulski’s classification system for holidays was applied to divide the holidays of...

  • Efficient Comparative Sequence Analysis Algorithms for RNA Conserved Structure and Region Detection

    Creator:
    Li, Sizhen
    Abstract:
    RNAs play important roles in multiple cellular processes, and many of their functions rely on folding to specific structures. To maintain their functions, secondary structures of RNA homologs are conserved across evolution. These conserved structures provide critical targets for diagnostics and therapeutics. Thus, there is a need for developing fast...

  • Linear-time Algorithms for RNA Folding: Partition Function, Stochastic Sampling and RNA-RNA Interaction

    Creator:
    Zhang, He
    Abstract:
    RNAs play important roles in the central dogma of molecular biology, and are involved in multiple biology processes such as chromatin modification, transcriptional interference and translation initiation. The functions of RNAs, especially non-coding RNAs, are highly related to its secondary structures, therefore computational methods for RNA structure prediction are of...
