The Genoa Indian School: A Mixed Legacy; 50 Years Of Transformation, Survival, And Hope In A United States Government Indian Boarding School On The Nebraska Plains, Shelley R. Frear Nov 2012

The Genoa Indian School: A Mixed Legacy; 50 Years Of Transformation, Survival, And Hope In A United States Government Indian Boarding School On The Nebraska Plains, Shelley R. Frear

History Theses, Dissertations, and Student Creative Activity

In 1884, the Genoa Industrial Indian School became part of the government's off-reservation Indian boarding school system. The students who attended Genoa throughout the course of her fifty years came from many different tribes and brought with them a variety of backgrounds. Each student experienced Genoa in his or her own way. Individual experiences were influenced by their time of arrival; the policies and procedures in place in Washington and locally, as well as the administration in charge. For some students, their years at Genoa were positive; but for many others, loneliness, sorrow, abuse, or anger left a resounding negative …

Site-Specific Metallization Of Multiple Metals On A Single Dna Origami Template, Bibek Uprety Nov 2012

Site-Specific Metallization Of Multiple Metals On A Single Dna Origami Template, Bibek Uprety

Theses and Dissertations

This work examines the selective deposition of two different metals on the same DNA origami template for nanofabrication. DNA, with adjustable size and shape serves as a suitable template for fabricating metal junctions in the nanometer domain via bottom-up assembly. Bottom-up assembly utilizes the recognition capability of molecules like DNA to self-assemble and form structures. In this regard, DNA origami provides a useful means for forming nanostructures by folding single-stranded DNA into different two and three dimensional shapes. Selective deposition of metal on specific locations of a DNA template is essential for making DNA-templated electronic circuits.Site-specific metallization of DNA origami …


The Relationship Between Sleep Deprivation, Food Motivation, And Energy Intake In Normal-Weight And Obese Females, Lora Light Romney Nov 2012

The Relationship Between Sleep Deprivation, Food Motivation, And Energy Intake In Normal-Weight And Obese Females, Lora Light Romney

Theses and Dissertations

Objective: Sleep deprivation has been proposed as a potential correlate of obesity, particularly influencing energy intake. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare neural indices of attention related to food motivation and energy intake in normal-weight and obese women under two separate sleep conditions: 1) sleep-restricted (<5 hours) and 2) recommended sleep (~8 hours). This study used a combined cross-over and ex post facto design with condition order counter-balanced. Methods: Twenty-two normal-weight (age=30.9±9.5y, BMI=22.0±1.6 kg/m2) and 18 obese (age=29.7±10.7 y, BMI=36.4±5.3 kg/m2) women completed both sleep conditions. To confirm sleep levels, participants recorded sleep quality and quantity via sleep logs and wore a wrist actigraph. Following each condition, participants reported to the laboratory under the same fed state (energy shake ~10% of total daily needs) to verify they followed the sleep protocol. Subsequently, motivation for food was tested using electroencephalogram (EEG); participants completed a computerized passive-viewing task of food and flowers, while event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were recorded. After EEG testing, participants continued their normal routine but recorded all energy intake using weighed food scales. There were no instructions or limitations on dietary intake. Analyses included P300 and LPP amplitudes in response to picture type, total next day energy intake, and energy intake by several periods of the day. Results: Participants averaged 4.7±0.4 hours of sleep during the sleep-restricted condition and 7.7±0.3 hours during the recommended sleep condition (F=1057.02; P<0.0001). There was no group*condition interaction for next day food motivation (P300: F<2.896, P>0.09; LPP: F<2.967, P>0.093). Next day total energy intake also did not differ by group*condition (F=1.81; P=0.187). When participants were pooled, there was no difference in energy intake by sleep condition (F=0.00; P=0.953). However, when participants’ energy intake was analyzed during the lunch period (following testing to 1:30pm) there was a …

An Optimization-Based Method Of Traversing Dynamic S-Pareto Frontiers, Patrick K. Lewis Nov 2012

An Optimization-Based Method Of Traversing Dynamic S-Pareto Frontiers, Patrick K. Lewis

Theses and Dissertations

The use of multiobjective optimization in identifying systems that account for changes in customer needs, operating environments, system design concepts, and analysis models over time is generally not explored. Providing solutions that anticipate, account for, and allow for these changes over time is a significant challenge to manufacturers and design engineers. Products that adapt to these changes through the addition and/or subtraction of modules can reduce production costs through product commonality, and cater to customization and adaptation. In terms of identifying sets of non-dominated designs, these changes result in the concept of dynamic Pareto frontiers, or dynamic s-Pareto frontiers …

The Psychometric Evaluation Of The Memphis Gambling Inventory: A Problem Gambling Brief Screen For Primary Care Settings, George B. Mitzner Nov 2012

The Psychometric Evaluation Of The Memphis Gambling Inventory: A Problem Gambling Brief Screen For Primary Care Settings, George B. Mitzner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Central to a public health approach to gambling problems is early detection. Drawbacks of traditional screening efforts have reinforced the need for brief problem gambling screens particularly in time sensitive settings such as primary care. The only, existing primary care brief instrument is limited by its psychometric development and is not informed by contemporary gambling research. The Memphis Gambling Inventory (MGI) is a new problem gambling brief screen that assesses several dimensions of gambling behavior, cognition, motivation, and consequences. The current study evaluated the screening performance of the MGI's original 15-item pool. ROC analysis revealed a 3-item MGI that correctly …

The Hook: Stories, Jenny Miranda Lederer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The nine pieces of short fiction in this collection feature a group ofcharacters in transition: some caught between the easy magic of youth and the often painful discovery of complexity, others between deliberate stasis and queasy action. Their decisions in these moments will prove pivotal, with ramifications that echo for the remainder of their lives. The settings of these stories range the length of the East Coast from New Hampshire to Florida, often visiting places where the border between the wild and the tame becomes blurred: a campground, a rural farmhouse, a stretch of moonlit beach with the boundless ocean …

Examining The Effects Of Instructions And Overt Timing On Curriculum-Based Measures Of Reading, Colby Duncan Taylor

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

The purpose of this research was to examine whether variation in directions and timer visibility affected oral reading fluency on R-CBM probes. A sample of third-grade students (N = 72) was randomly assigned to four experimental directions conditions which emphasized participants doing their best, fastest, most accurate, or most expressive reading. Results from the 4 (experimental directions) X 2 (timer visibility) factorial ANOVAs revealed no significant differences across groups in the number of reading errors made (i.e., miscues), the number of words read correctly per minute, or in how expressively the participants read. Further, experimental conditions were not found to …
