We investigated habitat attributes related to the occupancy of the globally rare and endangered
epiphytic lichen, Erioderma pedicellatum, in a newly discovered (2009) population center in Denali National
Park and Preserve (DNPP), Alaska. We measured forest, tree and epiphytic lichen community
characteristics on eighty-five systematically selected plots in four study...
Introduction: The health benefits of physical activity are well established in older adults with arthritis. Despite these benefits, many older adults with arthritis are not active enough to maintain health; therefore, increasing physical activity in adults with arthritis is a public health priority. The purpose of this study was to...
Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...
Background/Purpose: US public health, criminal justice, and many other social and scientific processes are affected by the quality of data obtained about death. Yet, little research has focused on how death investigations are conducted. The overall goal of this research was to examine the process by which information was obtained...

Designation of areas as marine wilderness has been proposed as a strategy for managing the increasing threats facing the world’s oceans. Although social factors influence marine protected area success, the human dimensions of marine wilderness remain minimally explored. This thesis examines views of marine wilderness expressed by a representative sample...
The sudden and unexpected death of a seemingly healthy infant sets in motion a number of linked processes with potentially complex and far-reaching ramifications. While individuals, families and communities grapple with the shock and heartbreak associated with the loss of a young life, a chain of multidisciplinary investigative responsibilities is...

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...
