Knowing Me, Knowing You: The Role Of Personal Intelligence In Romantic Relationship Conflict Communication, Victoria Bryan Sep 2023

Knowing Me, Knowing You: The Role Of Personal Intelligence In Romantic Relationship Conflict Communication, Victoria Bryan

Doctoral Dissertations

People bring to their relationships a variety of personality traits that guide their interactions with others. However, an individual’s unique set of needs, preferences and skills can make conflict a near-inevitable part of most relationships. Personal intelligence is a promising new construct with implications for how couples communicate during conflict. Named in parallel with spatial, social, and similar intelligences, personal intelligence involves the ability to reason about the personality of oneself and others. People high in personal intelligence show an increased capacity to recognize the motives that guide other’s behavior, which they use to adjust how they approach their interpersonal …


Affecting Martensitic Transformation And Residual Stress Development Through Stress Superposition And Incremental Forming, Elizabeth Marie Mamros Sep 2023

Affecting Martensitic Transformation And Residual Stress Development Through Stress Superposition And Incremental Forming, Elizabeth Marie Mamros

Doctoral Dissertations

Stress superposition is defined as the incorporation of additional stresses into an existing manufacturing process during a single operation. In this thesis, experiments, simulations, and modeling of stress superposition in sheet metal deformation were investigated. Stress superposition can be used in manufacturing to reduce forming forces, increase material formability, and tailor the final part properties of products according to their intended applications, creating so-called functionally graded materials. Austenitic stainless steels (SS) were the focus due to their susceptibility to strain-induced phase transformation from austenite to martensite based on the stress state applied. In the first chapter, a novel cruciform specimen …


Homesteading In Maine: Motivations And Current Trends, Alexandrea Merchant Sep 2023

Homesteading In Maine: Motivations And Current Trends, Alexandrea Merchant

Master's Theses and Capstones

People in the United States who practice the alternative lifestyle of “homesteading” seek to live self-sufficient lives by growing food, building dwellings, and living with resolute autonomy. Great variation exists in the degree of self-sufficiency attained and desired by individuals engaged in homesteading. It was the purpose of this study to illuminate the motivations underlying adopting and engagement in this lifestyle in Maine homesteaders. Through interviews with 10 homesteaders in Maine and participant observation, I documented the narratives and elucidated the motivations of this under researched group. Common themes emerged. Participants expressed concerns about personal health, the environment, and institutions. …


Changing Long-Term Spatial Climate Patterns Of The Northeastern U.S., Emily Landry Sep 2023

Changing Long-Term Spatial Climate Patterns Of The Northeastern U.S., Emily Landry

Master's Theses and Capstones

Climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and dewpoint are dynamic and important drivers of many ecosystem processes. In the northeastern United States, climate change, including increasing temperatures and changing precipitation regimes, is well documented, yet changes in regional climate patterns have been largely overlooked. A previous study completed a regional climate analysis of the northeastern US using multiple linear regressions that produced coefficients that describe broad-scale spatial climate patterns using monthly climate normals from 1951-1980. Here, we complete a reanalysis of the previous study using the newest monthly climate normals from 1991-2020 to assess how the spatial climate patterns have …


Investigation Of Temperature And Deformation Path Effects On Induced Martensite Transformation Of Ss304l During Double-Sided Incremental Forming, Matthew Dana Adams Sep 2023

Investigation Of Temperature And Deformation Path Effects On Induced Martensite Transformation Of Ss304l During Double-Sided Incremental Forming, Matthew Dana Adams

Master's Theses and Capstones

Incremental sheet forming (ISF) was invented to make sheet metal manufacturing more flexible, enabling rapid prototyping. However, it was initially plagued with inaccurate tolerances. With the advent of double-sided incremental forming (DSIF) more accurate sheet metal parts are capable and thus has received more interest from industry in recent years. In this thesis, the effects of both temperature control, using a vortex tube with compressed shop air, and deformation path, utilizing a reverse, reforming sequence, have on the strain induced γ-austenite to a’-martensite phase transformation in stainless steel 304L (SS304L) during double sided incremental forming were studied on a pyramidal …


The Under-Appreciated Roles Of Spatial Scale, Individual Variation, And Nonlinearity In Spatial Ecology, David Heit Sep 2023

The Under-Appreciated Roles Of Spatial Scale, Individual Variation, And Nonlinearity In Spatial Ecology, David Heit

Master's Theses and Capstones

Spatial ecology is a central component of ecological inquiry. In an ever-changing world facing threats including climate change, human sprawl, and novel zoonotic diseases, understanding how animals use space and make habitat decisions can be invaluable to research, management, and conservation of animal species. The techniques and technology used in spatial ecology have advanced continuously over time to provide increasingly detailed data and analyses and mitigate potential statistical biases. However, there remain many potential biases that warrant further attention in the discipline of spatial ecology. This is especially true for conceptual biases, or biases inherent to the ways in which …


“An Alarming State Of Evil Among Our Juveniles” A Case Study Of Public Education In Manchester, New Hampshire From 1845-1915, Amy Cummings Sherr Sep 2023

“An Alarming State Of Evil Among Our Juveniles” A Case Study Of Public Education In Manchester, New Hampshire From 1845-1915, Amy Cummings Sherr

Master's Theses and Capstones

This thesis investigates the effectiveness of compulsory public education laws in Manchester, New Hampshire from 1845-1915, drawing on detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of school attendance records, legislative proceedings, and media coverage. The thesis identifies shifting objectives in the campaigns for compulsory education laws and child labor laws in New Hampshire over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries which help to explain lackluster enforcement. Reformers re-defined the perceived problems over time which led to new legislation and changing priorities in enforcement. Initially, reformers focused on “idle children” causing trouble and disrupting society. Then with mass immigration to the …

Season, Not Long-Term Warming, Affects The Relationship Between Ecosystem Function And Microbial Diversity, Melissa S. Shinfuku, Luiz A. Domeignoz-Horta, Mallory J. Choudoir, Serita D. Frey, Kristen M. Deangelis

Faculty Publications

Across biomes, soil biodiversity promotes ecosystem functions. However, whether this relationship will be maintained under climate change is uncertain. Here, using two long-term warming experiments, we investigated how warming affects the relationship between ecosystem functions and microbial diversity across seasons, soil horizons, and warming duration. The soils in these warming experiments were heated +5 °C above ambient for 13 or 28 years. We measured seven different ecosystem functions representative of soil carbon cycling, soil nitrogen cycling, or nutrient pools. We also surveyed bacterial and fungal community diversity. We found that the relationship between ecosystem function and bacterial diversity and the …

Efforts To Streamline Bathymetry Compilation For Marine Navigation, Christos Kastrisios Aug 2023

Efforts To Streamline Bathymetry Compilation For Marine Navigation, Christos Kastrisios

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Maritime shipping is the backbone of international trade and the global economy, as it is the most economically and environmentally efficient mode of transport. To ensure the safe navigation of ships and timely delivery of goods to global ports, mariners rely on up-to-date nautical charts, which portray navigation related information of the coastal and marine environment. Updating nautical charts, and particularly the bathymetric information, is not only costly but also a challenging and time-consuming task. Specialized vessels collect high-resolution bathymetry that is subsequently generalized by cartographers to the scale of the product. Spot soundings and depth curves, complemented by features …

Deep Dives And High Tissue Density Increase Mean Dive Costs In California Sea Lions (Zalophus Californianus), Mason R. Cole, Colin Ware, Elizabeth A. Mchuron, Daniel P. Costa, Paul J. Ponganis, Birgitte I. Mcdonald

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Diving is central to the foraging strategies of many marine mammals and seabirds. Still, the effect of dive depth on foraging cost remains elusive because energy expenditure is difficult to measure at fine temporal scales in wild animals. We used depth and acceleration data from eight lactating California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) to model body density and investigate the effect of dive depth and tissue density on rates of energy expenditure. We calculated body density in 5 s intervals from the rate of gliding descent. We modeled body density across depth in each dive, revealing high tissue densities and diving …

Gender (In)Equity In Global Mental Health Research: A Call To Action, The Women In Global Mental Health Research Group, Kelly Rose-Clarke

Faculty Publications

In this commentary, we build on work by Gurung and colleagues which highlighted gender inequity in the global mental health research workforce in Nepal (Gurung et al., 2021). We seek to increase awareness of the under-representation of women in global mental health research and its consequences, and we call for change. By women, we refer to all people who identify as women, including trans people. The commentary is informed by conversations with women who are global mental health researchers in the Global North and South at various stages of their careers.

Short-Term Responses Of Soil Carbon, Nitrogen, And Microbial Biomass To Cover Crop Mixtures And Monocultures, Igor Alexandre De Souza, Amanda B. Daly, Jorg Schnecker, Nicholas D. Warren, Adalfredo Rocha Lobo Jr., Richard G. Smith, Andre Fonseca Brito, A. Stuart Grandy

Faculty Publications

Increasingly, cover crops are being adopted for the purpose of improving soil health, yet the timescale and magnitude by which living annual cover crops might modify soil chemical and biological aspects of soil health is not well understood. At the same time, there is growing interest among farmers in cover crop mixtures due to perceptions that species-rich cover crop communities will enhance soil health relative to monocultures. In a field experiment in southeast New Hampshire, we investigated how groups of cover crops grown as monocultures and mixtures for specific seasonal niches (winter/spring, summer, and fall) influenced levels of soil nitrogen …

Effects Of Atlantic Butterfish (Peprilus Triacanthus) In Diets Of Common Terns (Sterna Hirundo): A Case Study Of Climate Change Effects In The Gulf Of Maine, Olivia A. Smith, Elizabeth C. Craig

Faculty Publications

Climate change and associated shifts in marine prey communities can alter food availability for foraging seabirds. This issue is illustrated in the Gulf of Maine by the northward shift of Atlantic butterfish (Peprilus triacanthus; hereafter butterfish) and their subsequent increase in seabird diets. Here, we examine effects of butterfish in diets of the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo), a threatened species in this region. Our objectives were to evaluate butterfish suitability for tern chick diet through observing handling time and feeding success, to examine effects of butterfish on tern chick growth, and to explore signs of adaptive foraging in adults. The …
