Homeownership : still the American Dream? Perceptions of homeownership in the post crisis era

Creator:: Micek, Thomas P.
Abstract:: "The American Dream" is an expression familiar to all Americans and the realization of the American Dream is tied closely to homeownership (Clinton, 1995). The recent financial crisis, with the housing and financial markets at levels not seen since the Great Depression, has resulted in widespread unemployment, continually dropping home...

Environmental contaminants and breeding biology of great blue herons in the Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Thomas, Carmen M.
Abstract:: Great blue heron (Ardea herodias) eggs and prey items were collected from six colonies on the Columbia and Willamette rivers and Puget Sound during 1994-95. Contaminant concentrations, reproductive success, and biomagnification factors (BMFs) were determined and effects of residue levels were measured by H4IIE rat hepatoma and ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) bioassays....

Interactive video communication technology and successful aging in place : applying the selective optimization with compensation model

Creator:: Yamamoto, Toshiko
Abstract:: This study utilized the theoretical framework of selective optimization with compensation (SOC) (Baltes, 1987; Baltes & Baltes, 1990) to interpret older adults' definitions about successful aging in place. Factors contributing to successful aging in place, including the importance of social interaction and perceptions of the usefulness of interactive video communication...

Photochemistry of 6-alkenyl-2-cyclohexenones : synthetic studies towards precursors of ryanodol

Creator:: Wang, Bingbing
Abstract:: Regiochemistry of intramolecular [2+2] photocycloadditions of oxygenated 6-alkenyl-3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones is studied. Application of this methodology to construct a key intermediate [3.3.2] bicyclic skeleton of ryanodol is described as well. Irradiation of (3-butenyl)compounds 3, 11, 14 and of (4-pentenyl)compound 6 afforded exclusively the linear photoadducts 4, 12, 15 and 7 respectively. Irradiation...

Synthetic studies toward a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin

Creator:: Hong, Zhenqiu
Abstract:: A new approach towards a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin is discussed. The approach involves the application of regio- and stereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition for the preparation of a key intermediate, cyclobutanone 86, and model studies on diiodosamarium (Sm12) mediated pinacol coupling of a diketone. Intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a,13unsaturated lactam 33...

Aging in place : a contemporary social phenomenon

Creator:: Lee, Megan
Abstract:: Most aging individuals prefer to remain in a self-determined home environment, and generally aging adults want to remain in the same home or same community. The benefits of remaining in a self-determined private home environment while aging have been established. Because individuals present a diversity of needs, it takes interdisciplinary...

Illustrative Document of the Colony Collapse Disorder

Creator:: Woods, Portia A.
Abstract:: The Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is an issue that is plaguing the globe, not only in the environment, but in the economy as well. Pollinators are essential to maintaining biodiversity and regulating livestock and human crop production. Yet, as time progresses, more pollinators are falling ill to agricultural chemicals, land...

The effects of paralysis and oligohydramnios on morphological and behavioral characteristics of the rat fetus in utero

Creator:: Del Real, Carmen
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to assess the effects of paralysis and oligohydramnios on the development of the rat fetus. Behavior was suppressed in utero by subcutaneous injections of curare or puncture of the amniotic membrane leading to oligohydramnios. In Experiment 1, fetuses were treated with curare, oligohydramnios, both, or a...

Some microbiological and sensory characteristics of Cheddar cheese manufactured from conventional and ultrafiltered-concentrated milk

Creator:: Betancur, Carmen L.
Abstract:: Cheddar cheese making from ultrafiltered (UF) concentrated milk potentially increases yield, saves raw materials, cuts transportation costs, minimizes waste pollution, and stream-lines production. However, the resulting UF-cheese has been found to differ from conventionally made cheese (CM-cheese) in its casein matrix and ripening process. UF and CM Cheddar cheeses were...

Alternative approaches to psychosis : qualitative interviews of practitioner opinions and observations

Creator:: Donnerberg, Carmen
Abstract:: The present essay discusses themes of dehumanization and reliance on a biomedical model of care within U.S. psychiatric systems in treating individuals diagnosed with psychosis. This model is contrasted with alternative treatment approaches that are person-centered rather than disease-centered. These include Open Dialogue, Soteria, and Hearing Voices Movement. In the...
