The Relationship Between Disengagement Strategies And Reconciliation Strategies, Sarah Holmes

Student Work

This thesis examined the relationship between relational disengagement and reconciliation strategies. The literature review focused on the reasons for disengagement, disengagement theories, disengagement trajectories, disengagement strategies, and reconciliation strategies. The first research question asked if a partner used a direct disengagement strategy, would (s)he use a direct reconciliation strategy? The second research question asked if a partner used an indirect disengagement strategy, would (s)he use an indirect reconciliation strategy? Two hundred undergraduate students were asked to complete a questionnaire containing a hypothetical disengagement scenario and a hypothetical reconciliation scenario. The results indicated a significant, yet, tenuous, relationship between direct/direct strategy …

Peer Versus Adult Models: Infants Immediate And Deferred Imitation Of Familiar And Novel Events, Robina Enayat Gul

Student Work

The present study examined the effects of different aged models (adult vs. peer) on infants' memory and imitative behaviors. Thirty infants between the age of 14- to 18-months were included in the study. Fifteen of the infants watched an adult model demonstrate two familiar three-step event sequences and two novel three-step event sequences on simple objects. The other fifteen infants observed a peer model perform the same event sequences on the same objects. Three questions were addressed: (a) Do infants learn to imitate three-step event sequences better from an adult or a peer model? (b) Do infants better recall familiar …

Data Assimilation Experiments In The Gulf Stream Region: How Useful Are Satellite-Derived Surface Data For Nowcasting The Subsurface Fields?, Tal Ezer, George L. Mellor

CCPO Publications

Satellite-derived surface data have become an important source of information for studies of the Gulf Stream system. The question of just how useful these datasets are for nowcasting the subsurface thermal fields, however, remains to be fully explored. Three types of surface data-sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height (SSH), and Gulf Stream position (GSP)-are used here in a series of data assimilation experiments to test their usefulness when assimilated into a realistic primitive equation model. The U.S. Navy's analysis fields from the Optimal Thermal Interpolation System are used to simulate the surface data and to evaluate nowcast errors. Correlation …

The Kinetic Assessment Of Sit-To-Stand In Stroke Patients And Its Relationship To Fall, Pao-Tsai Cheng, Shu-Hsia Wu, Mei-Yun Liaw, Pay-Shin Lin, May-Kuen Wong, Hsieh-Ching Chen, Fuk-Tan Tang

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

Fall has been reported as a major cause of morbidity, hospitalization and mortality of older people. Stroke patients are more prone to fall than non-stroke subjects, because of the pathological conditions inposing upon the physiological aging process. Since fall is so frequent, fall prevention strategies should therefore be developed and included in rehabilitation programs.Falls are associated with many physical and environmental factors. Excluding tripping, many of the falls in stroke patients occurred during the patients changing their positions, such as standing up, sitting down or initiation of steps. Therefore, the purpose of this study is focus on the kinetic analysis …

Evidence For A Shore-Normal Energy Gradient And Its Character In The Speiekeroog Back Barrier Tidal Flats, German North Sea Coast, N Nyandwi

Tanzania Journal of Science

Sediment distribution in the Spiekeroog backbarrier tidal flats has been studied with the aim of identifying the factors controlling their deposition. Form the mainland coast northwards three physiographic units are recognizable namely, the tidal flats adjacent to the coast, the tidal channels with the intervening flats and the dunes and tidal flats adjoining Spiekeroog island. The areal distribution of the sand fraction (˂4.0 phi) shows a shore normal energy gradient with increasing energy towards the sea. Very fine sands are found very close to the mainland coast, fine to very fine in the central part and fine sand on the …

Of Rectangles And Centuries. A History Of The Use Of A Garden Pattern From Romanesque Europe To Nineteenth-Century New Orleans, David Dwayne Lewis

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Settlers of New Orleans brought with them ideas of gardens that influenced the way they shaped gardens in the colony. Although the influence of those ideas has been acknowledged in studies of New Orleans gardens, specific connections between the ideas and gardens in New Orleans have not been made. To illuminate some of those connections, this study focuses on one garden pattern — a composition of long, rectangular planting beds -- that is common to at least fifty gardens in New Orleans and to European gardens dating from the ninth century. A developmental history that chronicles the use of the …

Application Of Geophysical And Geochemical Techniques For The Assessment Of Groundwater Recharge From Wadi Al Bih Dams, Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, Mohamed Sager Al Asam

Theses

Groundwater from Wadi AI Bih is still a major source of water required for irrigation, industry and domestic purposes in Ras AI Khaimah area, United Arab Emirates. Because of the continuous population growth, demand for pumping more water has created an imbalance in the groundwater resources of Wadi AI Bih basin, and the estimated discharge (11 million m³/year) has exceeded the calculated natural recharge (9 million m³/yr). To restore the balance between natural recharge and discharge and maintain a good-quality groundwater, the UAE government has built Wadi AI Bih dams in 1982.

Near-Field Measurements On Contrail Properties From Fuels With Different Sulfur Content, Andreas Petzold, Reinhold Busen, Franz Peter Schroder, Robert Baumann, Markus Kuhn, Johan Strom, Donald E. Hagen, Philip D. Whitefield, Darrel G. Baumgardner, Frank Arnold, Stephan Borrmann, Ulrich Schumann

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Microphysical properties of jet exhaust aerosol and contrails were studied in the near field of the emitting aircraft for different fuel sulfur contents. Measurements were performed behind two different aircraft (ATTAS test aircraft of type VFW 614 and Airbus A310-300) using fuels with sulfur contents of 6 ppm and 2700 ppm, respectively. At closest approach (plume age < 1 s), the total number concentrations exceeded the measuring range of the condensation particle counter, i.e., N > 10⁵ cm^-3. The concentration of the dry accumulation mode aerosol, i.e., predominantly soot particles, was not affected by the fuel sulfur content. At a plume age of 10 s, an increase in total number concentration (Dp > 0.01 μm) by a …
