Women In White Coats: Female Physician Role Enactment In Medical Clinic Interactions, Katie Lynn Bohannon Jul 2009

Women In White Coats: Female Physician Role Enactment In Medical Clinic Interactions, Katie Lynn Bohannon

Boise State University Theses and Dissertations

Roles are a fundamental part of our lives. We constantly play a variety of roles within different relationships. In turn, these roles are embedded into social networks, such as organizations. It is through our interactions within such networks that we enact particular roles.


Gene-Environment Interactions In Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Holly Donovan Barnard Jun 2009

Gene-Environment Interactions In Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Holly Donovan Barnard

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The overall goal of this project is to advance our understanding of the multifactorial etiology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by testing a diathesis-stress model of gene x environment (g x e) interactions. Although the literature increasingly supports g x e interactions in the manifestation of ADHD, few studies have investigated multiple genetic and environmental risk factors, included direct tests of gene - environment correlations (rG-Es), explored the specificity of interactions to symptom dimensions, or attempted to minimize comparisons. Therefore, utilizing both within-family (FBAT/PBAT) and case-control methodology, this study sought to (1) explore main effects of polymorphisms in the …


Bourriaud And The Aesthetics Of Electronic Interaction, Brogan S. Bunt Jan 2009

Bourriaud And The Aesthetics Of Electronic Interaction, Brogan S. Bunt

Faculty of Creative Arts - Papers (Archive)

Nicolas Bourriaud’s Relational Aesthetics (2002) provides a sophisticated critique of interactive aesthetics. His focus, however, is not literally interactive electronic art, but rather Conceptual Art of the 90s that deliberately reduces technical means and prompts human dialogic interaction. Bourriaud celebrates work that shifts the status of the art object from self-contained aesthetic thing to socially relational model (or field). In his view, technological art, in its very obvious claims to interaction reveals its association and complicity with broader regimes of simulated conviviality and interaction that characterize modern democratic society. It seems that interaction becomes all important in the instant that …


A Novel Zinc-Binding Fold In The Helicase Interaction Domain Of The Bacillus Subtilis Dnal Helicase Loader, Karin V. Loscha, Kristaps Jaudzems, Charikleia Ioannou, Xun-Cheng Su, Flynn R. Hill, Gottfried Otting, Nicholas E. Dixon, Edvards Liepinsh Jan 2009

A Novel Zinc-Binding Fold In The Helicase Interaction Domain Of The Bacillus Subtilis Dnal Helicase Loader, Karin V. Loscha, Kristaps Jaudzems, Charikleia Ioannou, Xun-Cheng Su, Flynn R. Hill, Gottfried Otting, Nicholas E. Dixon, Edvards Liepinsh

The helicase loader protein DnaI (the Bacillus subtilis homologue of Escherichia coli DnaC) is required to load the hexameric helicase DnaC (the B. subtilis homologue of E. coli DnaB) onto DNA at the start of replication. While the C-terminal domain of DnaI belongs to the structurally well-characterized AAA+ family of ATPases, the structure of the N-terminal domain, DnaI-N, has no homology to a known structure. Three-dimensional structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy shows that DnaI presents a novel fold containing a structurally important zinc ion. Surface plasmon resonance experiments indicate that DnaI-N is largely responsible for binding of …


Understanding Masculinity: The Role Of Father-Son Interaction, Clyde J. Remmo Jan 2009

Understanding Masculinity: The Role Of Father-Son Interaction, Clyde J. Remmo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although a significant amount of research has accounted for gender from a social constructionist perspective, research specifically examining the construction of masculinity is still a relatively new endeavor. Additionally, although gender is accounted for in various family communication theories, no theory specifically accounts for gender formation within the context of family interaction. The purpose of this study is to examine sons' narratives of their recollections of father-son interactions. Studying the father-son dyad in this way may help us to better understand how men constitute masculinity in particular familial relationships. Although the purpose was to examine the themes of father-son interactions, …


The Interaction Of Word Frequency And Concreteness In Immediate Serial Recall, Leonie M. Miller, Steven J. Roodenrys Jan 2009

The Interaction Of Word Frequency And Concreteness In Immediate Serial Recall, Leonie M. Miller, Steven J. Roodenrys

Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)

Word frequency and word concreteness arc language attributes that have been shown to independently int1uence the recall of items in verbal short-term memory (STM), It has been argued that such effects arc evidence for the action of long-term memory knowledge on STM traces. However, research to date has not investigated whether these variables interact in serial recall. In two experiments, we examined the behavior of these variables under factorial manipulation and demonstrated that the effect of word frequency is dependent on the level of concreteness of items, Serial recall performance is examined with reference to two explanatory approaches: Walker and …
