On The Spectral Theory For Ordinary Differential Equations With Distributional Coefficients With And Emphasis On The Periodic Case, Kevin Campbell
On The Spectral Theory For Ordinary Differential Equations With Distributional Coefficients With And Emphasis On The Periodic Case, Kevin Campbell
All ETDs from UAB
In this thesis, we consider differential equations with distributional matrix coefficients giving particular care to periodic distributions. In pursuit of this, we first examine some cases in which there is no existence and uniqueness theorem for a given initial value problem, and then verify some properties of the minimal and maximal operators. We then focus on periodic systems and establish a Floquet Theory for such systems as well as extend several fundamental properties which are well known for periodic functions to periodic distributions. We also examine stability sets for differential equations with periodic distributional coefficients in one and two dimensions, …
Cognition And The Brain Of The Healthy Oldest-Old, Sara A. Sims
Cognition And The Brain Of The Healthy Oldest-Old, Sara A. Sims
All ETDs from UAB
There is an increasing number of people aged 65 and older, particularly in the oldest old cohort (aged 85 and older). Aging is characterized by significant changes in the brain including disruptions to white matter and functional connectivity. While cognition is impacted in many age related diseases, like Alzheimer’s Disease or Parkinson’s Disease, an understanding of the healthy aging brain is important for informing research on successful aging. My dissertation consists of three aims: (1) For the first aim, my overall objective was to determine the validity of the NIH toolbox in the oldest old cohort. I used other standard …
Preventing Unintentional Childhood Injuries In Rural Uganda: Caregiver Perceptions And Promotion Of Personal Safety Skills Through Classroom-Based Instruction, Marissa H. Swanson
Preventing Unintentional Childhood Injuries In Rural Uganda: Caregiver Perceptions And Promotion Of Personal Safety Skills Through Classroom-Based Instruction, Marissa H. Swanson
All ETDs from UAB
Objective: Unintentional childhood injuries present a substantial public health burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) including Uganda. Interventions to reduce this risk should be responsive to children’s unique developmental, environmental, and sociocultural context. This project had three primary objectives: 1) Analyzing caregiver reports of child injury events in rural Uganda to identify perceived causal and preventative factors; 2) Identifying Ugandan first and sixth graders’ developmental safety needs by comparing hazard recognition and past-year injuries among these students; and 3) Evaluating the impact of the Careful Cubs intervention on Ugandan first graders’ personal safety knowledge, skills, and beliefs. Methods: 1) …
Neural Outcomes Of Adolescent Substance Use, Juliann B. Purcell
Neural Outcomes Of Adolescent Substance Use, Juliann B. Purcell
All ETDs from UAB
Adolescent substance use is common and may disrupt structural and functional brain development given that adolescence is a period of substantial neural maturation. Neurodevelopmental disruptions may be most pronounced within brain regions that undergo substantial development during adolescence (e.g., prefrontal cortex [PFC]) and regions that are integral to reward networks (e.g., nucleus accumbens [NAcc]). This project used latent growth curve models (LGCM) coupled with neuroimaging techniques to investigate relationships between adolescent substance use and young adult brain structure and functional connectivity. Substance use was assessed at 4 timepoints (ages 11, 13, 16, 19) in 1,594 participants. A subset of participants …
The Evolutionary Ecology Of The Antarctic Red Macroalga Plocamium Sp. In Relation To Its Defensive Secondary Metabolite Diversity, Sabrina Heiser
The Evolutionary Ecology Of The Antarctic Red Macroalga Plocamium Sp. In Relation To Its Defensive Secondary Metabolite Diversity, Sabrina Heiser
All ETDs from UAB
Organisms produce chemical defenses to gain a competitive advantage, and to protect themselves from pathogens and predators. There is high inter- and, sometimes, intraspecific diversity in the types and quantities of defensive secondary metabolites. Yet, we do not know much about the mechanisms driving the diversity and its distribution. Macroalgae are important members of ecosystems since they provide living space and are primary producers. To prevent predation, macroalgae make structural or chemical defenses. Chemical defenses in the Antarctic red macroalga Plocamium sp. have extensively been studied. It is widespread along the western Antarctic Peninsula and abundant at sites where it …
Characterization Of Exercise-Associated Skeletal Muscle Secreted Factors Through Aging, Dalton Chase Patterson
Characterization Of Exercise-Associated Skeletal Muscle Secreted Factors Through Aging, Dalton Chase Patterson
All ETDs from UAB
Exercise is a powerful behavioral intervention against Central Nervous System (CNS) aging1–3 and plays an essential role in maintaining healthy neurocognitive function and immune metabolism in the aging brain3. We have developed a new transgenic mouse model that moderately over-expresses transcription factor master regulator of proteostasis, Transcription Factor E-B (TFEB), in skeletal muscle (cTFEB;HSACre mice). Despite living sedentary lifestyles, our model of enhanced skeletal muscle proteostasis shows significantly ameliorated proteotoxicity, increased BDNF levels and neurogenesis while improving neurocognitive function and decreasing neuroinflammation in the aging CNS4,5. These neuroprotective effects are markedly reminiscent of those observed in the aging CNS post-exercise6,7, …
Labor Union Membership Tenure And Midlife Health: A Gendered Perspective, Clifford Ross
Labor Union Membership Tenure And Midlife Health: A Gendered Perspective, Clifford Ross
All ETDs from UAB
The benefits of labor unions have not gone unstudied. Individuals in labor unions have better access to lower cost/more substantial health insurance plans, higher quality pension plans, and better wages leading to increased lifetime earnings. Even though many of these benefits create important pathways that could lead to better health, unions have been paid little attention in health literature. Additionally, in the modern workplace Mothers are offered lower starting salaries, are perceived as less competent, and face a penalty regarding hiring, promotion, and workplace educational opportunities. Compared to men, women with children see an income gap 20 cents wider than …
The Shifting Nature Of Empire: Vandalia And Other Plans For New Colonies West Of The Allegheny Mountains Before The American Revolution, Michael Davis
The Shifting Nature Of Empire: Vandalia And Other Plans For New Colonies West Of The Allegheny Mountains Before The American Revolution, Michael Davis
All ETDs from UAB
North American westward expansion following the end of the Seven Years’ War is a subject that has been dealt with by many historians from both sides of the Atlantic. The American push west of the Allegheny Mountains facilitated political divisions and divergent visions that would advance the push for independence from the British Empire and contribute to the creation of a new authority and a new kind of empire. This paper focuses on one aspect of this significant area of late-colonial and early republican American history. New western colonial schemes emerged from the ashes of the global war with France …
Low-Dose Dextromethorphan For The Treatment Of Pain In Fibromyalgia: A Single-Blind Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial, Stephanie Christina Mueller
Low-Dose Dextromethorphan For The Treatment Of Pain In Fibromyalgia: A Single-Blind Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial, Stephanie Christina Mueller
All ETDs from UAB
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a debilitating chronic pain condition. Its pathophysiology is largely unknown, which has hindered the development of effective treatments. Central sensitization and neuroinflammation have been forwarded as models of FM pathophysiology, both of which indicate the antitussive drug dextromethorphan (DXM) as a potentially effective treatment. DXM is an N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA)-receptor antagonist and microglial modulator with anti-neuroinflammatory properties at low doses. It is currently available for clinical use, but has not been tested as a treatment for FM at low dosages. The current study evaluated the effectiveness of DXM in treating FM-associated symptoms of pain, fatigue, cognitive problems, …
