Rational emotive education : its effects on the locus of control and school behavior of hidden children of alcoholics

Creator:: Triperinas, Mary Lou Armstrong
Abstract:: This study examined the effects of an eight week Rational Emotive Education Program (REE) on the perception of locus of control and the reduction of the number of disciplinary referrals of self-revealing children of alcoholics (COA's) in a school setting. The sample included 74 randomly selected middle school students. The...

Laboratory investigations of the natural fluorescence of marine phytoplankton

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: The influence of nitrate availability and irradiance on phytoplankton natural fluorescence was investigated in laboratory cultures of the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Bacillariophyceae). Two cultures of phytoplankton, differing only in the nitrate-limited growth rate, were compared to learn how increases in irradiance influences natural fluorescence. Instrumentation was developed for these...

Breaking of spherical symmetry in electronic structure, free and immersed atoms in an electron gas

Creator:: Dorsett, Skye Forrest
Abstract:: Total electronic energies are calculated numerically for free and singly-ionized He, Li, C, and Ne atoms using density functional theory. Immersion energies are calculated for a single C impurity atom embedded or absorbed into a charge-neutral system composed of a free-electron gas with uniform positive background, also called 'jellium'.

Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.

The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

Abstract:: Using summertime housing transactions data of 3,309 parcels from multiple years in Eugene-Springfield, OR, we present a hedonic price model to estimate the influence of the urban heat island (UHI) effect on housing prices in this metropolitan area. By taking advantage of the inherent random nature of summertime weather observations,...

Acute bioactivation and hepatotoxicity of ketoconazole in rat and the determinant presence of flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) isoforms in human duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon microsomes and Caco-2 cell line

Creator:: Buckholz, Cheryl J.
Abstract:: Two specific goals were addressed for this dissertation. First to investigate and identify the mechanistic profile of ketoconazole (KT)-induced hepatotoxicity by utilizing in vivo and in vitro approaches determining the mechanism of action for the hepatotoxicity incurred. To date, there has not been a mechanistic determination of the hepatotoxicity associated...

The marine geomorphology of American Samoa : shapes and distributions of deep sea volcanics

Creator:: Roberts, Jed T.
Abstract:: The geologic processes at work in American Samoa have long been a point of scientific debate. Of its numerous volcanic formations, few breach sea level, leaving an enormous proportion of their mass unavailable to traditional observation. This study aims to describe the deep sea geomorphology of American Samoa through compilation,...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

Spatial structure of the physical and biological distributions across the Antarctic Polar Front in austral spring and summer

Creator:: Howard, Cidney
Abstract:: Mesoscale surveys to examine the relationship between the physical processes and biological response along the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) were conducted as part of the US JGOFS Southern Ocean Program during austral spring and summer 1997/98. Multiple crossings of the PF near 170° W, using a towed undulating instrument, provided...

Optimization of Pulsed Laser Deposited Piezoelectric Thin Films for Microelectromechanical Systems

Creator:: Kearney, Dylan R.
Abstract:: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is well known to exhibit some of the strongest piezoelectric responses, explaining why it is at the heart of piezoelectric-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) research. The use of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to synthesize PZT offers many advantages over alternative deposition techniques, mainly regarding its ability to...
