African American Caregivers Of Children Affected By Hiv/Aids, Doris Cooper Wilbon Dec 2007

African American Caregivers Of Children Affected By Hiv/Aids, Doris Cooper Wilbon

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

The Human Immunodeficiency Disease (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) have reached an epidemic proportion in many African American communities. There is a significant amount of stigma and denial associated with HIV/AIDS in these communities, leaving people with minimal knowledge about this disease. Caretakers such as grandparents, other relatives, and foster parents take on the role of surrogate parents to these children who have lost one or both of their parents to HIV/AIDS. When family members, especially women, die from this disease leaving their offspring behind these children often experience various emotional and behavioral problems. A few of the children …


Phylogenetic Relationships Within Coleeae (Bignoniaceae Juss.), Andreina Carvajal Dec 2007

Phylogenetic Relationships Within Coleeae (Bignoniaceae Juss.), Andreina Carvajal

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

On Madagascar, Bignoniaceae is represented by tribes Coleeae (4 genera/58 species) and Tecomeae (4 genera/15 species). Species of Coleeae occur in assemblages of sympatric, locally endemic species. The purpose of this study was to explore the phylogenetic relationships within Coleeae. In order to do so, techniques such as PCR by using universal primers for waxy nuclear gene, agarose electrophoresis, cloning and sequencing were performed. A total of 26 taxa were successfully amplified. Sequences were analyzed using three different phylogenetic programs (Maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian analysis) resulting in various phylogenetic trees. Main conclusions drawn from this work are: 1. …


Characterization Of Na+/H+Exchanger-3 (Nhe3) In The Gills Of Longhorn Sculpin (Myoxocephalus Octodecemspinosus), Curtis Eugene Lanier Dec 2007

Characterization Of Na+/H+Exchanger-3 (Nhe3) In The Gills Of Longhorn Sculpin (Myoxocephalus Octodecemspinosus), Curtis Eugene Lanier

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

Acid-base regulation is a vital mechanism in homeostasis. Fish must maintain optimal physiological acid-base parameters during changes in an aquatic habitat. Environmental factors such as changes in salinity affect fish ability to maintain optimal blood plasma ion concentrations. Ion regulation influences the fish ability to maintain optimal acid-base balance. The Na+/H+ Exchanger-3 (NHE-3) has been shown to be the primary membrane ion transporter responsible for acid-base balance in the mammalian kidney. The objective of this study is to characterize NHE-3 in the gills of longhorn sculpin (Myoxocephalus octodecimspinosus).


Reproductive Success Of Southeastern American Kestrels (Falco Sparverius Paulus) Nesting In 230kv Transmission Towers And Alternative Nest Structures In South-Central Georgia, Hope Alyce Beasley Dec 2007

Reproductive Success Of Southeastern American Kestrels (Falco Sparverius Paulus) Nesting In 230kv Transmission Towers And Alternative Nest Structures In South-Central Georgia, Hope Alyce Beasley

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This research involved a survey of the distribution and reproductive biology of the threatened southeastern subspecies of the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius paulus). Numbers of Southeastern American Kestrels are estimated to have declined by more than 80% over the last fifty years in the southeastern United States. In Georgia, populations have nearly disappeared below the Fall Line. The paucity of adequate nest sites is the major factor contributing to the decline of this obligate secondary cavity nester. The largest breeding population of this subspecies in Georgia is located in the south-central part of the state in the hollow cross-arms of …


Leadership Behaviors That Contribute To Teacher Morale, Vickie Tantee Randolph-Robinson Dec 2007

Leadership Behaviors That Contribute To Teacher Morale, Vickie Tantee Randolph-Robinson

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

In this era of increased accountability and increased pressure to improve our public schools, elementary school leaders, working to meet the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, are focusing on developing effective leadership behaviors as they face the complex challenges of meeting organizational goals within their elementary schools and maintaining or increasing staff satisfaction. Leadership behavior has long been of interest in industry, business, military, and the government; on the whole, research shows that focusing on social factors such as morale, group interaction, and supportive relationships has a strong effect on productivity and success. The …


A Closed Form Solution For Multiple-Input Spike Based Adaptive Filters, Il Park, António R.C. Paiva, José C. Príncipe, John G. Harris Dec 2007

A Closed Form Solution For Multiple-Input Spike Based Adaptive Filters, Il Park, António R.C. Paiva, José C. Príncipe, John G. Harris

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Neurons are point process systems, in the sense that the inputs and output which are spike trains can be treated as point processes. System identification of a point process system has been studied mostly with single input. However, multiple input is required in many applications such as liquid state machines or neural prosthetics. We propose a simple multiple-input spike based adaptive filter which is based on an integrate-and-fire neuron model. The optimal closed solution is derived, and the performance is analyzed with respect to noise in various parameters and measurement. ©2007 IEEE.

Gender, Citizenship, And Dress In Modernizing Japan, Barbara Molony Dec 2007

Gender, Citizenship, And Dress In Modernizing Japan, Barbara Molony

History

Between the 1870s and 1945, dress was one of the signifiers ofJapan's transition from being objectified as an "Oriental" country subordinate to the West to playing a dominant role as the bearer of "universal" (Western) modernity to East Asia. 1 In the late nineteenth century, Western dress indicated a yearning for international respect for Japan's modernity; by the early twentieth century, when Japan had largely achieved diplomatic equality with the West and colonial dominion over parts of Asia, Western dress had come to be taken for granted by "modern" Japanese men. In some cases, colonial subjects could be distinguished by …


Creating Micro- And Nanostructures On Tubular And Spherical Surfaces, O. Lima, L. Tan, A. Goel, Lmehrdad Negahban, Z. Li Dec 2007

Creating Micro- And Nanostructures On Tubular And Spherical Surfaces, O. Lima, L. Tan, A. Goel, Lmehrdad Negahban, Z. Li

Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience: Faculty Publications

The authors developed a new technique to create micro- and nanometer scale structures on curved free-standing objects by combining embossing/imprinting lithography approaches with mechanical loadings on elastic films. Embossing/imprinting generates small structures and mechanical loading determines shape or geometry of the final object. As a result, a portion of the tubes with a radius between 0.5 and 3.5 mm and a portion of the spheres with a radius between 2.4 and 7.0 mm were fabricated with grating line features (period of 700 nm) and microlens array features (lens radius of 2.5 µm) atop, respectively. It was found that both static …
