Fraternity And Sorority Member Perceptions Of Homophily, Supportive Communication, And Group Behavior As A Function Of Control Expectancies, Andrew D. Dohanos
Fraternity And Sorority Member Perceptions Of Homophily, Supportive Communication, And Group Behavior As A Function Of Control Expectancies, Andrew D. Dohanos
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of control expectancies on fraternity and sorority member's perceptions of their group. Based on a review of the literature pertinent to this investigation nine hypotheses were forwarded. Generally speaking, the hypotheses suggest that fraternity and sorority members perceptions will differ based on their control expectancies. One hundred ninety-five fraternity and sorority members completed a questionnaire that included the Three Factor Locus of Control Scale (Levenson, 1973), the Perceived Homophily Measure (McCroskey et al., 1975), the Quality of Relationship Inventory (Pierce et al., 1991), dimensions of the Group Behavior Inventory (Friedlander, …
Seismic Interpretation And Structural Evaluation Of The Hope Basin, Alaska, Virginia L. Elswick
Seismic Interpretation And Structural Evaluation Of The Hope Basin, Alaska, Virginia L. Elswick
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The Hope Basin is a Cenozoic basin located off the coast of Alaska, in the Bering Sea. Its initial formation was theorized to have occurred from right-lateral movement on the Kobuk fault, a strike-slip fault located in northwestern Alaska. However, from an interpretation of newly reprocessed seismic lines that are located in the southeastern portion of the basin, it is evident that distinct characteristics of strike-slip basins, as evaluated by past authors, are not present within the study area. Furthermore, a study of the tectonic history of the region lends itself to an alternate theory of orogenic collapse of the …

In Constant Flux, Christian Bernard Kuharik
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
In this thesis, I will discuss most of the aspects of salt firing. I will give a quick overview of the history of salt glazing and talk about some of the clay and glazes that I have adapted and work well for me in the salt kiln. I have also, developed an injection system to better introduce sodium compounds into the kiln. My goal was to find a method of introducing these materials into the kiln more efficiently and effectively. My system proves to be more effective in getting the best result, while using less of the material. By using …
Elite And Non-Elite Sourcing In Civic And Traditional Journalism News Projects, Jennifer M. Roush
Elite And Non-Elite Sourcing In Civic And Traditional Journalism News Projects, Jennifer M. Roush
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
This project consists of two studies used to analyze "elite," media-savvy, and "non-elite," non-media savvy, sources in civic and traditional journalism. For the first study, four newspaper series about mining and aging, 22 articles total, examined source use in the practice of civic journalism. The results for the mining comparison were significant; however, the results for the aging comparison were not significant. For the second study, the writers and editors of the news projects, and other journalism professionals were interviewed to determine the cause of the mixed significance. The interviews revealed the intentions of the civic writers were not the …
Feedback Control Of Wave Propagation Patterns In Excitable Media, Florin Chirila
Feedback Control Of Wave Propagation Patterns In Excitable Media, Florin Chirila
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Numerical and theoretical studies of the excitability boundaries for spiral waves in 2D and scroll waves in 3D are presented. The boundaries are defined by unstable wave segments, which are stabilized by using a negative feedback control algorithm. A kinematic description of the constant-size, constant-shape wave segments is presented for 2D waves. Intricate patterns of wave propagation are exhibited in a chemical reaction-diffusion system with spatiotemporal feedback. Wave behavior is controlled by feedback-regulated excitability gradients that guide propagation in specified directions. Waves reflecting or refracting are observed when interacting with a discontinuity in excitability. Wave trajectories in fixed excitability gradients …
