Early periderm development in the shoots of Ulmus alata michx.

Fowler, Tiffany B.

Periderm is a protective tissue that replaces the epidermis in woody plants and consists of three layers: phellogen, phellem, and phelloderm with cells in discrete radial files. Lenticels and cork wings deviate from this ...

Earthly & Heavenly Adoption: Exploring Adoption Research, Policies, & Trends through the Lens of God's Adoption of Humanity

Sanders, Katie

"Pure and faultless religion is this: to look after orphans" (James 1:27). The Bible explicitly references the call for Christians to look after and care for orphans. Some take this command as a call from the Lord to ...

The ecological validity of priming religiousness : context and culture.

LaBouff, Jordan. (, )

Across four studies, the paradox of religiousness and prejudice was examined through self-report and priming methods in both a laboratory setting in an evangelical culture and a culturally agnostic field setting. Across ...

Economic Attitudes and Religion: The Relationship of Islam and Other Religions With Attitudes of Trust, Confidence in Government, Thrift and Competition

Dratz, Elizabeth

The economic attitudes of each religion’s adherents provide a glimpse into the reasons behind economic development and persistent poverty. This research demonstrates that individual Muslims’ views are more conducive to ...

Ecstatic Utterances explained : a companion to Ecstatic Utterances.

Simmons, Jim (James D.) (, )

This paper provides technical and philosophical insight into the composition Ecstatic Utterances. Three distinguishing approaches feature in this thesis: strands, and their accompanying theory; harmonic crescendo and ...

Education and cultural memory in American fiction post-Brown v. Board : Ernest Gaines, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Eudora Welty.

Akins, Adrienne V.

This dissertation examines a number of historical novels composed and published during a time period when questions pertaining to education, equal opportunity, and expanding national memory were central to American ...

Education for Advanced Nursing Practice: Teaching Culturally Relevant Hygiene

Martin, Rebecca Diane

The purpose of this project is to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a series of modules created to prepare family nurse practitioner students to teach basic hygiene principles in a culturally ...

The Effect of Annotation on Metacomprehension of Text

Cliburn, Rachel

Metacomprehension refers to a person’s ability to monitor what information has been learned through reading. Good metacomprehension is important for efficient studying. Prior research shows that most readers demonstrate ...

Effect of a smaller learning community on students in a large high school.

Cox, Herbert Carleton.

This study is an investigation into the impact that Smaller Learning Communities might have on students in a large high school. It is a single site study that occurred over the course of three years. Three separate ...

The effect of dietary folate deficiency and age on methylation metabolites, neurotransmitters, and behavior in mice.

Wasek, Brandi Lynn.

Severe folate deficiency caused by inborn errors of metabolism has profound deleterious effects in the CNS such as mental retardation, psychiatric disorders, seizures and myelopathy. Mild folate deficiency, due to dietary ...

Effect of Dipole-Dipole Charge Interactions on Dust Coagulation

Matthews, Lorin; Hyde, Truell (New Journal of Physics, )

This study examines the effect that dipole–dipole charge interactions between fractal aggregates have on the growth of dust grains. Aggregates in a plasma or radiative environment will have charge distributed over their ...

The effect of dust charge variation, due to ion flow and electron depletion, on dust levitation

Land, Victor; Douglass, Angela; Qiao, Ke; Matthews, Lorin; Hyd, Truell (AIP Conference Proceedings, )

Using a fluid model, the plasma densities, electron temperature and ion Mach number in front of a powered electrode in different plasma discharges is computed. The dust charge is computed using OML theory for Maxwellian ...

The effect of electrode heating on the discharge parameters in complex plasma experiments

Land, Victor; Carmona Reyes, Jorge; Creel, James; Schmoke, Jimmy; Cook, Mike; Matthews, Lorin; Hyde, Truell (IOP Publishing, )

Thermophoresis is a tool often applied in complex plasma experiments. One of the usual stated benefits over other experimental tools is that electrode temperature changes required to induce thermophoresis do not directly ...

The Effect of Hippotherapy on Balance Ability in Subjects with Balance Disorders

Kelley, Lauren

Hippotherapy is a type of therapy that utilizes the motion of a horse to facilitate the stimulation and stretching of muscles in people with disabilities in order to increase strength, balance ability and coordination. ...

The Effect of Hippotherapy on Balance Ability in Subjects with Balance Disorders

Kelley, Lauren Patricia

Hippotherapy is a type of therapy that utilizes the motion of a horse to facilitate the stimulation and stretching of muscles in people with disabilities in order to increase strength, balance ability and coordination. ...

The Effect of Maternal Fat Specialization on Infant Birthweight

Frensley, Alexandra

In order to maximize the number of infants weighing in the birthweight range associated with the lowest amount of morbidity and mortality (2,500-4,000 grams) the complex interactions between the anthropometric, social, and ...

Effect of Multi-Sized Dust Distribution on Local Plasma Sheath Potentials

Sun, Meihong; Matthews, Lorin; Hyde, Truell (Advances in Space Research, )

This work investigates the modification of a plasma sheath in a complex plasma due to the presence of dust particles with a specified size distribution. A self-consistent model for the plasma sheath is combined with a ...

The effect of roughness element thermal conductivity on turbulent convection.

Mart, Steven Robert.

Many flows of engineering interest occur over surfaces that exhibit roughness with thermal conductivities much lower than common metals and alloys. This is especially true of in-service gas turbine blades with surface ...

The effect of small versus large group learning on music reading accuracy in the choral classroom.

Braucht, Melanie J.

The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of two different modes of instruction (large group and small group learning) on the music reading accuracy of high school choir singers. Participants (n = 63) included ...

The effect of suspended bentonite and kaolinite clay on phosphorus uptake and release by lotic periphyton.

Wolfe, June Elmer, 1961- (Springer.Springer.American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers., )

Lotic systems act as nutrient buffers to receiving lentic systems. As streams transport allochthonous phosphorus through a watershed, the loads are modified in quantity and quality through biotic and abiotic mechanisms. ...
