The Role Of Acetylcholine In Attention And Lapses In Attention In Rats Using The Mode And Deviation From Mode Of Reaction Time Latency, Scott Lee Mitchell
The Role Of Acetylcholine In Attention And Lapses In Attention In Rats Using The Mode And Deviation From Mode Of Reaction Time Latency, Scott Lee Mitchell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is currently the neurodevelopmental disorder most commonly diagnosed in children in the United States, and one of the defining characteristics of ADHD is inattention. Inattention is marked by increased lapses in attention, and when assessed clinically, it has been highly correlated with reaction-time variability (RTV). Evidence from the human/clinical literature has shown an inherently higher RTV to be the primary quantitative indicator of an ADHD diagnosis. Reaction-time distributions are characterized by an asymmetrical rightward skew, and because of the prevalence of this presentation, it has been theorized that the distribution peak and skew represent separate phenomena, …

Forecasting Geotechnical Parameters From Electrical Resistivity And Seismic Wave Velocities Using Artificial Neural Network Models, Fatema Tuz Johora
Forecasting Geotechnical Parameters From Electrical Resistivity And Seismic Wave Velocities Using Artificial Neural Network Models, Fatema Tuz Johora
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Geotechnical measurements of soil parameters used in the design of infrastructure provide information at a specific point of the ground. The use of limited point data may result in greater uncertainty and less reliability in design. Geophysical methods are non-invasive, less time-consuming, and provide continuous spatial information about the soil. However, geophysical information is not in terms of engineering parameters. Correlations between geotechnical parameters and geophysical parameters are needed to facilitate the use of geophysical information in geotechnical designs. The current research is focused on two geophysical methods; electrical resistivity (ER) and seismic wave velocity (S-wave and P-wave). Artificial neural …
Effects Of Acute Exercise Intensity On Source Episodic Memory: Considerations By Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Brandon Thomas Rigdon
Effects Of Acute Exercise Intensity On Source Episodic Memory: Considerations By Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Brandon Thomas Rigdon
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Prior research suggests that behavioral (e.g., acute exercise) and psychological factors (e.g., metamemory; monitoring and control of one’s memory processes) may influence memory function. However, there is conflicting results on the optimal intensity of acute exercise to enhance memory and whether acute exercise can also enhance metamemory. Further, very limited research has evaluated whether acute exercise can influence source episodic memory. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate whether there is an intensity-specific effect of acute aerobic exercise on source episodic memory and metamemory accuracy. A secondary objective was to evaluate if cardiorespiratory fitness moderates this potential relationship. …
Absurdity Is A Distinct Aesthetic Category, Sarah Jean Szopinski
Absurdity Is A Distinct Aesthetic Category, Sarah Jean Szopinski
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Absurdity is the sudden discomfort caused by direct awareness of your being consciousand your relation to reality. Camus’ absurdist philosophy refers to the conflict between the human desire for inherent meaning in reality and the incomprehensible and irrational nature of the universe. Facing absurdity requires confronting the absurd feeling through introspective awareness of this tension. Otherwise, you are overcome by it, succumbing to a lack of mindfulness and avoidance of the confrontation. Absurdity, especially in its aesthetic dimension, has not received the sustained attention it deserves. In this paper, I argue that due to the sustained relevance of the absurd …
A Novel Approach Toward High Accuracy Indoor Localization}{Masters Of Science, Yunshu Wang
A Novel Approach Toward High Accuracy Indoor Localization}{Masters Of Science, Yunshu Wang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents a novel approach towards high accuracy indoor localization with smartphones. Better than all the existing indoor localization methods, our approach has the advantage of being infrastructural-free, robust, and it does not require any pre-installation in a new environment. To make this goal come true, we built a testbed that only uses the Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) of the smartphones to access the smartphones' raw acceleration and orientation data, then use these data to calculate the user's location by coordinate transformation and interactions. We conducted extensive experiments and evaluations for testbed validation as well as to carefully examine …
The Impact Of Market Fragmentation On Stock Exchange Events And Thinly Traded Securities, Donovan Woods
The Impact Of Market Fragmentation On Stock Exchange Events And Thinly Traded Securities, Donovan Woods
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In Part 1, I analyze independent technological malfunctions that forced trading halts at various equity exchanges over the past decade. During each halt, all other exchanges remained open. The primary purpose of this study is to examine intraday trading activity before, during, and after a technological malfunction, which are events that are neither driven by an informational event nor an order imbalance. Of the events I record in this study (8 technological malfunctions), a majority document a reduction in liquidity and an increase in short term volatility during and immediately after a technological malfunction. Furthermore, these affects appear to be …
Computational Modeling Of Non-Active Functional States Of The Cannabinoid Receptor 1 And Its Ligands, Ayooluwa Olufunmi Aderibigbe
Computational Modeling Of Non-Active Functional States Of The Cannabinoid Receptor 1 And Its Ligands, Ayooluwa Olufunmi Aderibigbe
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is a class A G-protein coupled receptor that is implicated in a variety of physiological processes, such as energy homeostasis, appetite regulation, cognition and motor control, and mood regulation. CB1 is widely distributed throughout the body, but is mainly expressed in the brain. Molecules that reduce CB1 signaling exhibit anti-obesity properties due to their effect in reducing appetite and body weight gain. However, the consequence of reducing CB1 signaling in the CNS includes adverse neuropsychiatric effects such as depression and suicidal ideation. Two methods of scientific interest for developing CB1 antagonists as anti-obesity drugs are …

An American Pilgrimage: The 1968 Poor People's Campaign Mule Train As Prophetic Social Performance, Cheston M. Bush
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In late spring of 1968, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) launched a nationwide demonstration known as the Poor People’s Campaign in an effort to overcome poverty. Nine caravans representing people from around the country converged in the Capitol to petition Congress for programs that would broaden opportunities for poor Americans. This work examines the Mississippi contingent of the campaign, the Mule Train caravan, that consisted of roughly 150 people who traveled in 15 covered wagons pulled by about 40 mules. The Mule Train left Marks, Mississippi on May 13 and arrived in Washington, D.C. in time for a June …
How Do Prey Capture And Simulated Fire Affect Growth And Nutrient Limitation In A Carnivorous Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia Alata?, Jalen Christopher Holloway
How Do Prey Capture And Simulated Fire Affect Growth And Nutrient Limitation In A Carnivorous Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia Alata?, Jalen Christopher Holloway
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Carnivorous plants are defined as being able to benefit from the nutrients of prey in the environment, and have at least one trait that either retrieves, ingests, or lures a prey to its traps. The association of carnivorous plants with fire-prone habitats was initially described as a paradox, considering that carnivorous plants are often associated with nutrient-poor soils and fires can increase soil nutrient availability. This apparent paradox assumes, however, that the nutrients that increase in availability following fire are those also provided by prey, which might not be true. In habitats with nitrogen-poor soils, fire has been shown to …
"Between The Two Great Battlefields:" Scottish Medical Women's Encounters With The Eastern Front, Fiona Gale Holter
"Between The Two Great Battlefields:" Scottish Medical Women's Encounters With The Eastern Front, Fiona Gale Holter
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation discusses the role of medical women on the battlefront during the First World War. Using the Scottish Women’s Hospitals as a case study, it argues that frontline medical women occupied a liminal space on the fronts. As both witnesses and participants, they confronted wounds, trauma, and violence wrought by total war. Since this was typically reserved for the combatant, contemporary notions of gender refused to acknowledge medical women’s authority within the war story. This dissertation employs medical women’s wartime experiences to argue that their war story redefines our understandings of combatancy, allowing us to see it as a …
Do Bears Prefer The Weak And The Downtrodden? The Effects Of The 52-Week Low And Financial Strength On Short-Seller Behavior, Christopher Alan Miller
Do Bears Prefer The Weak And The Downtrodden? The Effects Of The 52-Week Low And Financial Strength On Short-Seller Behavior, Christopher Alan Miller
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation investigates the effects of a company’s financial strength on short-seller behavior around a non-information-producing event. The distance of a stock price to its 52-week high or low does not provide fundamental information, but the price extremes serve as salient price points upon which investors anchor their expectations of future stock performance. Using a large sample of daily short sales data, I investigated the effects of both the proximity to the 52-week low and the financial strength of the underlying company on short-seller behavior. I found that short-selling volume increases as the price nears its 52-week low and that …

Towards A New Method Of Determining Protein Structure, Niloofar Abolhasani Khaje
Towards A New Method Of Determining Protein Structure, Niloofar Abolhasani Khaje
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Hydroxyl radical protein footprinting (HRPF) by fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP) is a mass spectrometry-based technique that measures the apparent protein oxidation rate by freely diffusing hydroxyl radicals at different regions in a protein, and correlates changes in this apparent rate with changes in the solvent accessibility of the protein target based on quantifying the amount of oxidation of different regions of a protein. While there have been many advancements in HRPF-FPOP, oxidation measurement still suffers from high variability between measurements. High variability reduces the power statistical power this technique even in the presence of radical dosimetry measurements and …
Opinions, Attitudes, And Self-Efficacy Of Secondary School Counselors In Ramp And Non-Ramp Designated Schools And Their Work With Students With Disabilities, Christine Denise Lewis Pugh
Opinions, Attitudes, And Self-Efficacy Of Secondary School Counselors In Ramp And Non-Ramp Designated Schools And Their Work With Students With Disabilities, Christine Denise Lewis Pugh
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The American School Counseling Association (ASCA) implemented standards that aid the professional school counselor via a comprehensive program to serve all students (ASCA, 2019). This study examines secondary school counselors working in RAMP and non-RAMP designated schools. The designation of recognized ASCA model programs (RAMP), which awards schools when they successfully implement comprehensive programs, leads one to believe that RAMP programs exhibit effectiveness, while understanding that lacking RAMP certification does not mean a comprehensive school counseling program does not exist. The current study surveyed secondary school counselors’ attitude, self-efficacy, and opinions toward work with students with disabilities. An independent samples …
Prototypically American: The Influence Of Accent And Race On Hiring Evaluations, Tuong-Vy Cac Nguyen
Prototypically American: The Influence Of Accent And Race On Hiring Evaluations, Tuong-Vy Cac Nguyen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In a globalized world, individuals are more likely to travel or migrate between countries; thus, we may encounter more individuals who speak with an accent that is unfamiliar. Accents can serve as a social cue that conveys information about the speakers’ background and national origin. It is a particularly important perceptual cue in the workplace because accented individuals are perceived to be lower in status and competence. The current study attempted to replicate prior findings on accents; disentangle race and accent; and extend the literature on accent by examining the target’s perceived prototypicality of Americanness. Across three studies (N = …

Analysis Of Bundle Protocol With Turbo Code, Babita Pradhan
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Bundle protocol is one of the main protocols for data transfer in delay/disruption networking characterized by the long delay, frequent disruption, intermittent connectivity, andhigh error rates. Using a store and forward technique, bundle protocol stores the application data by dividing it into smaller bundles locally at each node and then forwards it to the next node when access is available. Usually, it operates as an overlay network by staying on top of any other networking architecture. As one of the main protocols for delay/disruption networking, many studies have analyzed its performance. This thesis analyzes the bundle protocol’s performance in terms …
Reclaiming Apologetics As Serious Scholarship: A Methodology For An Open–Ended Exploration Of Christian Inclusivism, Lonnie Marvin Vining
Reclaiming Apologetics As Serious Scholarship: A Methodology For An Open–Ended Exploration Of Christian Inclusivism, Lonnie Marvin Vining
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is a methodology for a writing project I have undertaken on Christian inclusivism. My approach to Christian inclusivism is drawn from Paul Tillich, but it is updated and improved by postmodernism and Derrida’s “religion without religion.” To wit: Whatever relief from suffering there is to be found in comparative religion, Jesus must have in principle taught it or something comparable, else by definition he was not the Christ. This type inquiry is unavoidably a form of Christian apologetics, but one that is designed to restore and renew Christian theology in light of the truths of comparative religion rather …

Advancements Toward Sustainable Solar Fuel Production Utilizing Reductive Homogeneous Electro- And Photocatalysis, Hunter Pratt Shirley
Advancements Toward Sustainable Solar Fuel Production Utilizing Reductive Homogeneous Electro- And Photocatalysis, Hunter Pratt Shirley
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Molecular CO2 and H+ reductive catalysts, whether they be electro- or photocatalytic, have been shown to be possible routes of harnessing solar energy in a clean, renewable manner. There are few electrocatalysts operating at reasonable overpotentials to prove useful in artificial photosynthetic systems, and there are a number of environmental factors within these systems that have yet to be evaluated. Photo-driven catalysis is rare, difficult to control, and rarely provides high-value CO2 reduction products. I report herein an exceptionally low overpotential H+ reduction catalyst, a method of modulating electrocatalysts in-situ to improve performance, a first-of-its-kind mononuclear proton reduction photocatalyst, a …

Acceptability, Anticipated Adherence, And Willingness To Begin Interoceptive Exposure: Examination Of The Influence Of A Values Rationale, Gina Quebedeaux Boullion
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Interoceptive exposure (IE) is a treatment entailing induction of feared physiological sensations that has emerged as the most efficacious component of cognitive behavioral treatments for panic disorder. However, small-to-moderate effect sizes, wide variability in response rates, and dropout rates indicate that panic disorder treatments may benefit from modifications to improve upon retention, response rates, and symptom reduction. Patient motivation and lack of engagement have been identified as factors to intervene upon. One specific direction that has gained increasing empirical interest is the inclusion of values identification; however, research has not yet examined the influence of values on motivation to engage …
Visual Tracking Speed And Soccer Performance Metrics, Julia Paige Phillips
Visual Tracking Speed And Soccer Performance Metrics, Julia Paige Phillips
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Visual training has previously been shown to correlate to sport specific level of training and sport specific performance measures in controlled conditions. However, it remains unclear if these relationships exist between visual tracking thresholds and in competition decision making metrics over the duration of a soccer season. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between visual tracking speed (VTS) baseline scores and soccer-specific performance measures. In total, 19 NCAA Division I soccer players were tested before the 2021 spring soccer season, after exclusionary criteria only 13 were utilized for analysis. VTS was measured from 1-core session …

Midwifery And Medicine In Britain: A Comparative View Of Midwifery And Childbearing In Scotland And England, 1650-1780, Summer Smith
Midwifery And Medicine In Britain: A Comparative View Of Midwifery And Childbearing In Scotland And England, 1650-1780, Summer Smith
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation I contend the female midwives and childbearing women did not passively accept the alteration of the experience of birth and the ideology surrounding it in eighteenth-century Britain. While the imposition of the man-midwife and the reframing of birth as a disease to be cured in some ways forced childbearing to shift to a medicalized event, many practices persisted from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries, illustrating a vein of consistency in a seemingly tumultuous period. Furthermore, the changes that did take root were not solely the purview of the male medical community, but were influenced by women …
