A New Approach To Safety Assessment At Gated Highway–Rail Grade Crossings, Zheng Luo

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

A significant number of pedestrians and bicyclists (i.e., non-motorists) use the roadway system in the U.S. Research pertaining to the safety of them, especially their safety at highway-rail grade crossings (HRGCs), has drawn much attention in the past decade, and remains an important issue of safety research. Yet, the majority of existing research has examined non-motorist safety at intersections or motorist safety at HRGCs separately. Such research has related primarily to exploring relationships between safety countermeasures (e.g., engineering devices, education, enforcement, etc.) and crash frequency/severity, using different quantitative analysis approaches. A primary limitation of these studies is that few have …

Additionally, data were collected reflecting the vocational education instructors' thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on their programs as well as on the the inmate students enrolled in their programs. Additionally, detailed vocational program descriptions were obtained from the facility. These documents provided information about the kinds of jobs available for each …

The Role Of Academic Help-Seeking Attitudes, Achievement Goal Orientations, And Dissertation Self-Efficacy In Dissertation Progress, Tisha Stoll Colvin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The current study explored socialization variables (academic discipline, part-time versus full-time enrollment status, and student involvement with research and teaching assistantships) and educational psychological variables (academic help-seeking attitudes, achievement goal orientations, and dissertation self-efficacy) in relation to dissertation progress. The primary research questions were 1) What is the unique relationship between the educational psychological variables of academic help-seeking attitudes, achievement goal orientations, dissertation self-efficacy, and dissertation progress over and above the socialization variables of academic discipline, enrollment status, and student involvement in research and teaching assistantships? 2) Is there a significant difference between the academic help-seeking attitudes of PhD candidates …

Factors Affecting Infectivity And Pathogenicity Of Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis In Amphibians., Forrest Michael Brem

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Wildlife diseases are a current threat to biodiversity, and amphibians have suffered the greatest disease-induced declines and extinctions in history. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has contributed to recent pandemic population declines and extinctions of amphibians. My dissertation focused on factors that affect infectivity and pathogenicity of Bd in amphibian hosts. I demonstrated variation in critical aspects of Bd biology between Bd isolates from different climates, Panama and the USA. Panamanian Bd had larger thalli, higher overall zoospore production, and longer duration of zoospore production than Bd from the USA. I also demonstrated time-dependent rates of …

Investor Disagreement On Corporate Spin-Offs News, Daewon Kim

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

This study analyzes temporal trading volume surge associated with a firm's public announcement of its spinoff divesture. Combining Miller's (1977) static difference-of-opinion (DO) model with Banerjee and Kremer's (2010) dynamic DO model, this study investigates the effects of investors' differential interpretations of spinoff announcements on price changes for 221 corporate spinoffs in the U.S from 1964 to 2005. We measure the ex-ante level of DO as the degree of DO about a firm's value in a typical trading day prior to a spinoff announcement, and the event level of DO as the changed level of DO triggered by investors' differential …

Portland's "Refugee From Occupied Hollywood": Andries Deinum, His Center For The Moving Image, And Film Education In The United States, Heather Oriana Petrocelli

Dissertations and Theses

Two years after Dutch émigré Andries Deinum was fired from the University of Southern California in 1955 for refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee, he moved to Portland, Oregon to teach film courses through the Portland Extension Center. By 1969 he had become integral to the local film community and had formed Portland State University's Center for the Moving Image (CMI), where he and Tom Taylor taught film history, criticism, and production for the next thirteen years. Although CMI was eliminated in 1981 as part of PSU's financial exigency, CMI's teachers and students have been a vital …
