Nest-To-Surf Mortality Of Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) Sea Turtle Hatchlings On Florida’S East Coast In 2016, Victoria Erb Jan 2017

Nest-To-Surf Mortality Of Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) Sea Turtle Hatchlings On Florida’S East Coast In 2016, Victoria Erb

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Worldwide, sea turtles are especially vulnerable immediately after emerging from nests. Many monitoring programs measure hatchling production from nest inventories. These inventories rarely account for mortality occurring post-emergence, leaving an incomplete estimate of hatchling production. This study addresses the nest-to-surf data gap for Florida’s east coast nesting assemblages of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Five locations were surveyed during the 2016 nesting season by using infrared time-lapse imagery, night vision optics, and track maps. Over all beaches, 7.6% of the observed hatchlings did not survive to reach the water. Mortality sources varied by location. Observed predators included: foxes, bobcats, yellow-crowned …


Narcissism Admiration And Rivalry Using Situation Research, Jamie Zahava Ramos Jan 2017

Narcissism Admiration And Rivalry Using Situation Research, Jamie Zahava Ramos

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Narcissism is a multidimensional construct consisting of many components and a variety of conceptualizations. One such example is the NARC conceptualization of grandiose narcissism and its two subcomponents admiration and rivalry. This research aims to answer three questions about the NARC conceptualization: (1) what is the relationship between narcissism and Big Six Personality dimensions?; (2) what is the relationship between narcissism and observable behavior?; and (3) how does narcissism relate to situational experiences in daily life? Results showed that, consistent with previous research, narcissism was related to Big Six personality. Additionally, narcissism was related to observable behavior. Finally, the results …


No Surrender: Bruce Springsteen, Neoliberalism And Rock And Roll’S Melancholic Fantasy Of Sovereign Rebellion, Kaitlin N. Graves Jan 2017

No Surrender: Bruce Springsteen, Neoliberalism And Rock And Roll’S Melancholic Fantasy Of Sovereign Rebellion, Kaitlin N. Graves

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis builds from press accounts of Bruce Springsteen’s South by Southwest keynote address, taken by many to be a renewed call to arms of the classic mantras of the rock ethos in the age of a declining recording industry. In tracing the ways the speech circulated I argue that its discourse was rearticulated toward quite different (and concerning) ends. Throughout, I aim to show the apparatuses of power that sustains the rock liberation fantasy. I read the coverage of Springsteen’s address as a therapeutic discourse meant to soothe the anxiety over the closure of agency in the age of …


Olfaction And Exhibition: Assessing The Impact Of Scent In Museums On Exhibit Engagement, Learning And Empathy, Cory C. Mills Jan 2017

Olfaction And Exhibition: Assessing The Impact Of Scent In Museums On Exhibit Engagement, Learning And Empathy, Cory C. Mills

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The aim of this investigation is to analyze the effects of incorporating scent-based elements in ethnographic exhibits. Specifically, it attempts to identify changes in patron response to a visual display, with and without a scent element. Groups of patrons were observed throughout their engagement with the exhibit, and interviewed post-engagement to generate data on information retention, opinion on content and empathetic response in relation to the exhibit. Findings suggest that the inclusion of scent did increase memorization of the limited facts reinforced through the scent element. However, there was no detectable difference between the groups on measures of overall comprehension …


Points Of Intersection Finding Connections Between Design, Science And Math, Christopher Kohlhagen Jan 2017

Points Of Intersection Finding Connections Between Design, Science And Math, Christopher Kohlhagen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Contemporary educational trends have created a false dichotomy between the arts and science. The will to make STEM subjects the focus of K-12 education, ignores both a shared history and the potential for greater learning in a shared future.The intention of Points of Intersection is to demonstrate that design, science and math intersect in their concepts, practices and history. In the past, these disciplines were explored and studied together and benefited from each other. By exploring what design and science have in common and the points where they intersect, we can see the relevance and importance of art and design …


Principal Leader Actions And Their Influence On School Culture And School Performance, Ginger L. Featherstone Jan 2017

Principal Leader Actions And Their Influence On School Culture And School Performance, Ginger L. Featherstone

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This quantitative, non-experimental study was conducted to determine whether there is a link between the principal’s behavioral agility, the organization’s culture, and school performance as defined by the state’s Value Added Measure (VAM). Additionally, this study examined if there was a moderator influence of contextual factors to behavioral agility and school culture and school culture and school performance. Data collection was obtained through the use of two validated scales, the Strategic Leadership Questionnaire (SLQ) and the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). Multiple regression was conducted to determine the extent each independent variable predicts school performance. Hayes’s (2012) PROCESS macro for …


Reclaiming Wonder, Ingrid M. Barreneche Jan 2017

Reclaiming Wonder, Ingrid M. Barreneche

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

I believe art can offer an antidote to our numbness and rekindle a sense of childlike wonder. Reclaiming Wonder is an installation in which I aim to explore the possibility of evoking the curiosity of childhood in the viewer’s mind and transporting him or her into a dreamlike atmosphere to wander about in wonder through the use of the senses of sight, touch, and hearing.


Solace: Intimately Remembered Places, Michele Francoeur Jan 2017

Solace: Intimately Remembered Places, Michele Francoeur

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The culmination of my graduate research and investigations is my thesis exhibition Solace; Intimately Remembered Places. This body of paintings is a visual representation of land, water and flora that focuses on my abstraction of nature to extract essential elements that expresses my deep connection to a specific time and place, layered with associated memories. By revisiting a landscape over a sustained period of time, I developed a personal visual vocabulary to communicate the essential abstract forms of nature and record the subtle nuances of color, light, shape, texture, positive and negative space to evoke a particular time and place. …


Surrealism 2.0/Contemporary Games Analyzing Contemporary Games As A Re-Emergence Of Surrealism, Demetrius Dukes Jan 2017

Surrealism 2.0/Contemporary Games Analyzing Contemporary Games As A Re-Emergence Of Surrealism, Demetrius Dukes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Historically, Surrealism is defined as a literary and artistic movement which developed from Dadaism in the early twentieth century. Many artistic and literary historians assess that the lifespan of Surrealism did not persist beyond the 1960’s – that in fact, after notable surrealist such as René Magritte, Man Ray, Max Ernst and Salvador Dali challenged the limited cultural assumption of rationalism, the pursuit to explore and visualize the subconscious faded from artistic ambition. However, the purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative notion that suggests that digital interactive mediums – such as contemporary games and virtual technologies – …


Survival By Any Means: Race And Gender, Passing And Performance In Octavia Butler’S Parable Of The Sower And Parable Of The Talents, Micah R. Moreno Jan 2017

Survival By Any Means: Race And Gender, Passing And Performance In Octavia Butler’S Parable Of The Sower And Parable Of The Talents, Micah R. Moreno

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This project focuses on race and gender in the works of author Octavia Butler. The primary texts analyzed are Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents. In these novels, Butler alludes to slavery in antebellum America by drawing strong parallels between the roles race and gender played in the survival of the escaped slaves of America’s past and the role they play in the survival of the main character of Butler’s apocalyptic future. The themes of race and gender frequently intersect and maintain an important role throughout the novels. I argue that, by reading Butler’s novels within this …

Further, this study examined the relationship between teachers and their administrators during implementation. The researcher’s goal was to examine how teachers changed their behavior as the result of the first year following the implementation of The Marzano Teacher Evaluation Model.


The Comparison Of High-Intensity Interval Exercise Vs. Continuous Moderate Exercise On C1q/Tnf-Related Protein-9 Expression And Flow-Mediated Vasodilation, Brandon G. Fico Jan 2017

The Comparison Of High-Intensity Interval Exercise Vs. Continuous Moderate Exercise On C1q/Tnf-Related Protein-9 Expression And Flow-Mediated Vasodilation, Brandon G. Fico

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acute high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) vs. continuous moderate-intensity exercise (CME) on serum CTRP9 and brachial FMD responses in obese and normal-weight subjects. Sixteen participants (9 obese and 7 normal-weight) completed HIIE and CME in a randomized fashion. Our results showed a significant time effect for CTRP9 immediately following acute HIIE and CME in both groups. Furthermore, both significant treatment by time and group by time interactions for FMD were observed following both exercise protocols, with greater CME-induced FMD response in obese subjects than normal-weight subjects. Additionally, a positive …


The Effect Of Fluid Flow On Human Sperm Fertility, Kari Rappa Jan 2017

The Effect Of Fluid Flow On Human Sperm Fertility, Kari Rappa

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Current sperm processing methods used in assisted reproductive technologies can cause damage to the sperm cell. New ways that mimic the natural guidance mechanisms present in the female genital tract may offer ways to sort sperm with better fertility parameters. Sperm that respond to these cues may have better over sperm health. Human sperm exhibit positive rheotaxis by orienting and swimming against the fluid released by the female genital tract. At certain flow rates sperm can actively orient and swim against the flow. Sperm retrieved that exhibit positive rheotaxis have higher motility and better morphology than the original semen sample.


The Effect Of Stereoscopic Cues On Multiple Object Tracking In A 3d Virtual Environment, Steven Milanez Oliveira Jan 2017

The Effect Of Stereoscopic Cues On Multiple Object Tracking In A 3d Virtual Environment, Steven Milanez Oliveira

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Research on Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) has typically involved 2D displays where stimuli move in a single depth plane. However, under natural conditions, objects move in 3D which adds complexity to tracking. According to the spatial interference model, tracked objects have an inhibitory surround that when crossed causes tracking errors. How do these inhibitory fields translate to 3D space? Does multiple object tracking operate on a 2D planar projection, or is it in fact 3D? To investigate this, we used a fully immersive virtual-reality environment where participants were required to track 1 to 4 moving objects. We compared performance to …
