Paternal Acceptance And Nurturance Received And Parents’ Acceptance And Nurturance Of Their Children, Michael Hansen Jan 1990

Paternal Acceptance And Nurturance Received And Parents’ Acceptance And Nurturance Of Their Children, Michael Hansen

Open Access Dissertations

The relationship of perceived paternal nurturance and acceptance and parents' nurturance and acceptance of their children was investigated. Two-hundred and fifty (250) undergraduate students and their parents participated in the study. Each subject completed an abbreviated version of the Family Data Form (FDF), which was used to obtain individual and family demographic information. The Family Relations Inventory (FRI) was utilized to measure subjects' perceptions of the degree of parental nurturance and acceptance received. In addition, students completed the Comrey Personality Scales (CPS). Interrelationships between students' and parents' perceived nurturance and acceptance were examined through the utilization of a structural equation …

The Development Of Hope And Hopelessness: Structural And Functional Aspects, Anthony Scioli Jan 1990

The Development Of Hope And Hopelessness: Structural And Functional Aspects, Anthony Scioli

Open Access Dissertations

Hopelessness was explored from a developmental perspective. The investigation focused primarily on the relative importance of structural vs. functional variables in determining levels of hopelessness in children and adolescents. The two secondary aims of this study were to further clarify the concept of hopelessness, and to assess the construct validity of the Hopelessness Scale for Children (HSC: Kazdin et al., 1983).

Sixty-four children and adolescents scoring either "high" or "low" on the HSC were interviewed. Thirty-two of the subjects were children, 6-10 years of age. One half of these subjects were clinically involved. The adolescent sample also consisted of thirty-two …

Seasonal Activity Of Ixodes Dammini In Relation To Lyme Disease-Infected White-Footed Mice, Peromyscus Leucopus, Zuhair S. Amr Jan 1990

Seasonal Activity Of Ixodes Dammini In Relation To Lyme Disease-Infected White-Footed Mice, Peromyscus Leucopus, Zuhair S. Amr

Open Access Dissertations

This study evaluates the seasonal infestation rates of white-footed mice, Peromyscus leucopus, harboring immature stages of the deer tick, Ixodes dammini, at three sites on Prudence Island, Rhode Island, USA, a Lyme disease endemic area. Larval infestation rates varied from 46.0 larvae per mouse in August to none at all sites during November, while nymphal infestations ranged from 11.0 per mouse in June to none at all three sites in September through November. At all three study sites, the white-footed mouse appeared to be the most common host species in the wooded areas where larvae and nymphs of …

Rates Of Nitrification And Their Importance To The Nitrogen Cycle Of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, Veronica Marie Berounsky Jan 1990

Rates Of Nitrification And Their Importance To The Nitrogen Cycle Of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, Veronica Marie Berounsky

Open Access Dissertations

I could simplify this section by thanking anyone who knows me and has heard the phrase "Nitrification is the bacterially-mediated oxidation of ammonium to nitrite and then nitrate" often enough to almost have memorized it. But those people deserve more recognition.

First, I would like to thank my major professor, Dr. Scott W. Nixon, for directing my attention towards estuarine nitrification, for advice, guidance and laboratory space during the years, for reminding me to put my work into a larger perspective, and for always urging me to make my science and my writing as rigorous and as complete as possible. …


Assessing Beliefs About Depression And Its Treatment, Eliezer Tzvi Margolis Jan 1990

Assessing Beliefs About Depression And Its Treatment, Eliezer Tzvi Margolis

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation is motivated by the clinical problem of determining which of two comparably effective modes of treatment (pharrnacotherapy and psychotherapy) a depressed individual would be most likely to benefit from. A cognitive variable, illness beliefs about depression, is proposed as a promising guide for making such patient-treatment mode matches.

A broad area of literature is reviewed in order to learn how beliefs about depression are and have been conceptualized, and to learn what methods, if any, have been previously used to measure them. The review begins with an examination of the prevailing cognitive paradigm and it's failure to consider …

A Biosurfactant Of Bacterial Origin And Its Characterization, Mohammed I. Al-Hazmi Jan 1990

A Biosurfactant Of Bacterial Origin And Its Characterization, Mohammed I. Al-Hazmi

Open Access Dissertations

A microorganism capable of synthesizing biosurfactant from cheap and renewable water-soluble substrate such as carbohydrate was isolated' from the environment in our laboratory. It was selected from other isolates by screening for its ability to reduce the tensiometric properties of the culture broth. The isolated organism (JIZAN-1) produced significant extracellular surfactant activity during growth in batch culture on modified mineral salts medium (MMSM) containing 0.2% glucose as a carbon source and 0.02% yeast extract as a growth cofactor. This was demonstrated by lowering of the whole broth surface tension to less than 27.0 dynes/cm and the interfacial tension to less …
