  • Detailed volcanostratigraphy of an accreted seamount: Implications for intraplate seamount formation

    Creator:
    Schnur, Susan R. and Gilbert, Lisa A.
    Abstract:
    Seamounts are a ubiquitous feature of the seafloor but relatively little is known about their internal structure. A seamount preserved in the Franciscan mélange of California suggests a sequence of formation common to all seamounts. Field mapping, geophysical measurements, and geochemical analyses are combined to interpret three stages of seamount...

  • Shifting Rural Quantification Towards Study of Health Disparities: Applications in Statistical and Spatial Analysis of Rural Colorectal Cancer

    Creator:
    Buchalter, Robert Blake
    Abstract:
    Quantitative measurement of the urban-rural continuum for examination of U.S. rural health disparities is a relatively new research area, where only a handful of studies have investigated health disparities using quantitative rural measures and even fewer have attempted to integrate health variables within said measures. Most U.S. rural health disparity...

  • “My Whole World”: Teen Moms Navigating Identity and Social Discourse

    Creator:
    Tanner, Laura C.
    Abstract:
    Social discourse presents teenage childbearing as a “serious problem” that results in significant harm and expense to teenage mothers, their children, and society. Although the discourse of teenage childbearing has been multiple, overlapping, and contested, it has resulted in negative stereotyping and stigmatization of teenage mothers. Much of these stereotypes...

  • Sex Disparities in Adult and Childhood Cancer Incidence

    Creator:
    Fisher, Stephanie A.
    Abstract:
    Studies indicate that many cancers occur more frequently in adult males than females. This male predominance must either be due to disparate environmental exposures or innate, biologic mechanisms, or a combination of the two. Using data and statistical software from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, male:female incidence...

    Creator:
    Martin, Charles T.
    Abstract:
    Price premiums and discounts are currently paid for various classes of wheat in the US marketplace. These premiums and the known heterogeneity of grain protein across landscapes beg the question of whether grain could be separated on the farm to maximize revenues. Theoretically, the concavity or convexity of a price...

    Creator:
    Wilson, Suzanne M.
    Abstract:
    This study will show that polygamy is not a religious freedom protected under the U.S. Constitution, but a power system in which men use economic, political, social and physical force to control the behavior of others.
