Abstract:
This study is aimed to explore the relationships among elementary students&rsquo
epistemological beliefs of science, perceptions of learning environments, learning approaches and science achievement. For this purpose, a model of the associations among these variables was proposed and tested by structural equation modeling. In this model, it was hypothesized that a) students&rsquo
perceptions of their learning environments would directly influence their epistemological beliefs of science and learning approaches, b) students&rsquo
epistemological beliefs of science would directly influence their learning approaches and science achievement, c) students&rsquo
learning approaches would directly influence their science achievement. A total of 2702 students from 139 public elementary schools from istanbul, Ankara, izmir, Diyarbakir, Van, Antalya, Afyon, EskiSehir, and Samsun were administered three instruments to assess their epistemological beliefs of science, perceptions of learning environments, and learning approaches. Students&rsquo
previous year final report card grades were used as the indicator of their science achievement. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to determine the structure of students&rsquo
epistemological beliefs of science, perceptions of learning environments, and learning approaches. Although multidimensionality of epistemological beliefs of science was supported, a different factor structure was obtained for Turkish elementary school students compared to the theoretically proposed structure for the instrument. The results of the structural equation modeling generally supported the proposed hypotheses. The final model obtained in the study revealed that students&rsquo
perceptions of the classroom environments directly predicted students&rsquo
epistemological beliefs and learning approaches. Students&rsquo
epistemological beliefs predicted their learning approaches and science achievement, and students&rsquo
learning approaches influenced their science achievement.

Full text
Abstract:
Tristichopterids (Sarcopterygii, Tetrapodomorpha) form a monophyletic group of exclusively Devonian fishes. This thesis consists of descriptions of new material of tristichopterids and closely related taxa, as well as new interpretations and descriptions of previously figured material. Redescribed specimens were originally figured as far back as 1861, and publications as old as this are almost always of limited use as anatomical and systematical references, in addition to being difficult to acquire. The possibility of using new techniques and new theoretical frameworks also provides good justification for taking a second look at such specimens. In the case of this thesis, this includes the use of computed tomography scanning methods, and the cladistic approach to describing the interrelationships of taxa. The thesis includes a complete taxonomy of valid tristichopterid taxa, in addition to two new phylogenetic analyses incorporating the taxa that were described or redescribed. One of the analyses deals with the interrelationships of taxa along the entire tetrapod stem, and establishes the monophyly of the Tristichopteridae. The other analysis focuses on tristichopterid interrelationships. An account is given of evolutionary trends within Tristichopteridae, and instances of parallel evolution between tristichopterids and other tetrapodomorph groups are discussed. The biogeographical implications of tristichopterid occurences world-wide seem to corroborate the picture provided by other vertebrate groups, and give further support to one of two main hypotheses concerning the relative positions of Gondwana and Laurussia, the two major palaeocontinents during the Late Devonian. The supported hypothesis proposes a close proximity between southern Laurussia and northwestern Gondwana, as evidenced by the wide dispersal of derived tristichopterids by the Late Devonian. A Laurussian origin of tristichopterids is proposed.

Abstract:
La rápida adaptación de la computación Cloud, ha llevado a un incremento veloz en la tasa de amenazas de las tecnologías de la información. El objetivo de estas nuevas amenazas cubren desde sistemas distribuidos a gran escala, tal como el Gran Colisionador de Partículas del CERN, hasta sistemas industriales (plantas nucleares, de electricidad, petróleo, etc.) distribuidos, es decir sistemas interconectados SCADA El uso de herramientas automáticas para el análisis de vulnerabilidades es realmente atractivo, pero mientras que estas herramientas pueden encontrar problemas comunes en el código fuente de un programa, estas no detectan un número significativo de vulnerabilidades críticas y complejas. Además, los sistemas middleware de los sistemas distribuidos basan su seguridad en mecanismos como son la autenticación, la autorización y la delegación. A pesar que estos mecanismos han sido ampliamente estudiados en profundidad, y deberían tener control sobre los recursos, estos no son suficientes para asegurar que todos los recursos de la aplicación están protegidos. Por lo tanto, la seguridad de los sistemas distribuidos ha sido puesta bajo la mirada vigilante de profesionales de la seguridad de la academia, industria y gobierno. Para abordar el problema de evaluar la seguridad de sistemas middleware críticos, proponemos una nueva metodología automatizada de análisis de vulnerabilidades, llamada “Análisis de Vectores de Ataque para Complejas Interrelaciones Middleware” (AvA4cmi), la cual es capaz de indicar cuales componentes middleware deben ser analizados y por qué. AvA4cmi está basada en la automatización de una parte de la novedosa metodología de análisis manual “Primeros Principios de Análisis de Vulnerabilidades” (FPVA), la cual ha sido usada satisfactoriamente para evaluar sistemas middleware reconocidos. Los resultados de AvA4cmi son independientes del lenguaje de programación, proveen una evaluación completa de cada vector de ataque en el middleware, y está basada en la taxonomía “Enumeración Común de Debilidades” (CWE), un catálogo formal para describir fallos de seguridad. Nuestros resultados se contrastaron contra el análisis manual de vulnerabilidades realizado al middleware CrossBroker, y nuestros resultados indicaron las debilidades más notables de los vectores de ataque del middleware gLite WMS, corroborando cuales componentes middleware deben ser analizados y por qué.
The fast adaptation of Cloud computing has led to an increased speedy rate of novel information technology threats. The targets of these new threats involve from large scale distributed system, such as the Large Hadron Collider by the CERN, up to industrial (nuclear, electricity, oil, etc.) distributed systems, i.e. SCADA networked systems. The use of automated tools for vulnerability assessment is quite attractive, but while these tools can find common problems in a program's source code, they miss a significant number of critical and complex vulnerabilities. In addition, frequently middleware systems base their security on mechanisms such as authentication, authorization, and delegation. While these mechanisms have been studied in depth and can control key resources, they are not enough to assure that all application's resources are safe. Therefore, security of distributed systems has been placed under the watchful eye of security practitioners in government, academia, and industry. To tackle the problem of assessing the security of critical middleware systems, we propose a new automated vulnerability assessment methodology, called Attack Vector Analyzer for Complex Middleware Interrelationships(AvA4cmi), which is able to automatically hint which middleware components should be assessed and why. AvA4cmi is based on automatizing part of the First Principles Vulnerability Assessment, an innovative analystic-centric (manual) methodology, which has been used successfully to evaluate several known middleware systems. AvA4cmi's results are language-independent, provide a comprehensive assessment of every possible attack vector in the middleware, and it is based on the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) system, a formal list for describing security weaknesses. Our results are contrasted against previous manual vulnerability assessment of the CrossBroker, and hint the most remarkable weaknesses for gLite WMS middleware, and corroborate which middleware components should be assessed and why.

Abstract:
Outdoor recreation and eco-tourism are areas of increasing interest to land management agencies worldwide. As commodity extraction values decline, and the demand for nature based recreation rises, there is a commensurate shift in the goals and management of undeveloped environments. Paralleling this rapid expansion of recreation uses is a concern for managing its future growth and its environmental impacts. Due to the complexity of the relationship between recreational use and impacts on both environmental resources and the quality of visitor experience, researchers and recreation managers have employed a number of simplifying assumptions. Impacts are typically represented by average values over large areas and/or over widely differing recreation experiences. This geographic homogenization is both theoretically inadequate and impractical. Recreation experiences must be understood as the result of specific activities carried out in specific environmental settings, and effective recreation management, integrated with other environmental resource concerns, requires geo-spatial representation. This study investigates the effectiveness of coupling computer based Geographical Information System (GIS) approaches with traditional social sciences survey methods to improve assessments of nature-based recreation activities and experiences, and their environmental impacts. Secondary analyses of preexisting data collected in the East Huachuca Mountain recreation area in Coronado National Forest, Arizona provided measures of spatial distributions of the number of users, and of social, managerial and environmental detractors from the quality of recreation experiences. GIS analysis identified the most likely locations for specific activities (e.g. hiking, camping, hunting), for negative social encounters (e.g. hikers meeting with mountain bikers), for managerial and environmental detractors from recreation quality (e.g. inadequate trail signage, presence of litter and trash, soil erosion). Thus, although respondents in general reported they had overall positive experiences, spatial analysis revealed consistently negative experiences in some specific sites. GIS analysis methods provide new opportunities to improve upon recreation theory by better addressing the naturally spatial character of recreation experience. More precisely geo-referenced recreation survey and assessment methods enable more effective integration of recreation values and impacts into the inherently geo spatial ecosystem management framework.

Abstract:
Research and anecdote suggest that . the morale of doctors is low. Consequences of this in medicine include poor communication, faulty decision making, and poor interpersonal relationships. This works assesses the morale of pre-registration house officers (PRHOs), using the proxy measures of job satisfaction and mental and physical ill-health manifestations of stress, and follows one group over a period of eighteen months to determine whether morale improves over this time. Data collections was by modified postal questionnaire and consisted of self reported job satisfaction and mental and physical ill-health, life style data and career information. Data was obtained in three separate studies, comprising : 234 eligible PRHOs working within the West Midlands in 1993 (response rate of 83.6%) : A follow up study of the respondents to the original west Midlands survey (response rate 80.4%) : 828 eligible PRHOs working in the West Midlands, Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford and Sheffield (response rate of 58.9%) PRHOs and SHOs had significantly lower scores for job satisfaction and significantly higher scores for mental and physical ill-health than comparative groups. Female PRHOs and SHOs had significantly higher scores for ill-health than male PRHOs. Some improvement in job satisfaction was seen in the 18 month period from PRHO to SHO, but there was no significant change in well being during this time. As a result of this work, a stress counselling and management service has been made available in the West Midlands, an "Introduction to being a House Officer" course begun in the final year at Birmingham Medical School, and a "Stress Survival Guide" book published.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation was to explore the interrelationships of several important fitness characteristics in Division 1 athletes. Sport performance magnitude is the summation of an individual athlete’s technical, psychological, and fitness characteristics. Athletes who excel in any or all characteristics perform better in their chosen sports. General fitness characteristics that are important to almost all sports include strength, power, vertical jump height, shortdistance sprinting ability, muscularity, and body fat percentage. These variables have been shown in previous research to independently affect athletic performance outcomes, but their relationships to one another are less clear. Eighty Division I athletes from 4 sports were examined in a variety of fitness characteristics as part of a continuous athlete monitoring program. Data on strength, power, vertical jump height, short-distance sprinting speed, muscularity, and body fat percentage were collected and analyzed. Analysis revealed several important relationships. Firstly, strength is highly related to muscularity, with lean body mass as one of the most important determinants of strength. Secondly, athletes who can produce high relative (scaled per body mass) forces and powers tend to be considerably higher jumpers and much faster sprinters. Lastly, leaner athletes out-perform less lean athletes in almost every metric, especially relative strength and power, vertical jumping ability, and sprinting ability.

Anderson, Richard Michael. "Endocrine Interrelationships During Early Postpartum In St. Croix Sheep." DigitalCommons@USU, 1990. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/4140.

Full text
Abstract:
The relationships of estradiol-17-beta, progesterone, and LH in the early postpartum St. Croix ewe were monitored during the breeding season in 1988. A second group of non-postpartum, ovariectomized St. Croix ewes were used to determine non-ovarian levels of progesterone for comparison. Results of this study indicate that: 1. The short duration rise in progesterone exhibited by some ewes is indicative of an ovulation. 2. Ewes that do exhibit a short luteal phase prior to the first "normal" luteal phase have a longer period from parturition to the first "normal" luteal phase. 3. Serum levels of LH increase beginning 3 days postpartum. 4. There is a strong relationship between the concentration of estradiol and the exhibition of behavioral estrus in the postpartum ewe. 5. There appears to be a definite but somewhat irregular pulsatile release pattern of estradiol from the follicle of the postpartum ewe. The ability of the endocrine system of the St. Croix to return to functional levels of production and release during the first 15 days postpartum is likely related to their relatively short postpartum intervals and subsequent pregnancies.

Hansen, Stephanie Laura. "Nutritional Interrelationships between Iron, Copper and Manganese in Domestic Livestock." NCSU, 2008. http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/theses/available/etd-10292008-130736/.

Full text
Abstract:
Oftentimes the diets of cattle and pigs contain levels of iron well beyond the nutritional requirement of the animal. This superfluous iron may come from feedstuffs naturally high in iron, or from the consumption of soil, though bioavailability of iron from soil is unknown. Additionally, excess iron in cattle diets has been shown to negatively impact the metabolism of manganese and copper, though the molecular mechanism behind this interaction is unclear. The purpose of this research was threefold: 1) to determine the effect of ensiling on bioaccessibility of iron from soil contamination of corn greenchop, 2) to identify proteins important in iron metabolism in bovine and swine, and 3) to determine if these proteins are affected by dietary iron concentration. The results reported herein suggest that bioaccessibility of iron from soil contamination is greatly increased when soil undergoes a prolonged exposure to a low pH environment, such as that found with fermenting forages. These data indicate that very little iron from soil is available to the animal if no prior exposure to an acidic environment occurs. Also, for the first time we report that several proteins known to be essential to iron metabolism in rodents are present in bovine small intestine and liver. Specifically, the iron importer divalent metal transporter 1, the iron exporter ferroportin, and the multi-copper ferroxidase hephaestin were all present in bovine duodenum. In the bovine, reduced iron status, as induced by a primary deficiency of copper, resulted in increased gene expression of divalent metal transporter 1 and ferroportin in duodenum and decreased expression of the ferroportin regulatory hormone hepcidin and divalent metal transporter 1 in liver. Protein expression of ferroportin and hephaestin were also increased in duodenum due to reduced iron status. The addition of excessive amounts of iron to the diets of young calves also appeared to regulate protein expression of transporters important in iron metabolism. Specifically, high iron tended to decreased duodenal protein levels of divalent metal transporter 1 and reduced ferroportin protein levels, though no effect on hephaestin was observed. We also examined iron metabolism in the young pig, in order to examine the effect of an iron deficient diet on expression of these proteins. We found that hephaestin protein in the duodenum was lowered by feeding a high iron diet, and levels of both ferroportin and divalent metal transporter 1 tended to be reduced by high dietary iron compared to pigs fed a low iron diet. Additionally, we found that feeding a high iron diet to pigs negatively impacted liver concentrations of manganese. And feeding a high iron diet to either pigs or calves reduced duodenal concentrations of manganese, suggesting that high dietary iron reduces manganese absorption. Because high iron diets fed to both pigs and calves tended to reduce duodenal levels of divalent metal transporter 1, a protein known in rodents to transport both iron and manganese, it appears that the observed reductions in duodenal manganese concentrations may be a result of reduced transporter availability. Collectively, our data suggest that high dietary iron may negatively affect manganese absorption, and because the iron content of livestock diets is often high, further research is warranted.

Gillham, Jonathan. "The economic interrelationships of tourism : a computable general equilibrium analysis." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2005. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/11330/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates the economic interrelationships that tourism has in the wider economy in the context of a country that is heavily reliant on tourism revenues. More specifically, it seeks to examine the welfare, intersectoral, distributional, competitive, investment and dynamic issues relating to the tourism sector that have been under investigated in both the tourism and trade literature. These issues have been investigated empirically using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis. The thesis is set out as follows: Chapter 1 sets out the relative position of Spain in terms of its international competitors and defines the tourism sector. It also explains why CGE modelling is felt to be the most suitable approach for modelling the Spanish tourism sector for the purposes of this thesis. It also presents an overview of the planned research. Chapter 2 gives an overview of the structure and key features of the Spanish economy. It discusses the evolution of the tourism sector and how it varies between the different autonomous communities in Spain. The Spanish Tourism Satellite Account is presented and Spanish tourism policy is examined. Chapter 3 reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on CGE modelling and tourism analysis relevant to this thesis. Various types of CGE model are scrutinised and their usefulness assessed. The role of tourism in international trade is considered and the characteristics of the tourism sector that need to be embodied into a CGE model are discussed. Chapter 4 describes the core CGE model used in this thesis and the underlying equations that are associated with it. The central data set used is the Spanish input-output table for 1996. This data set is described and all subsequent input-output tables used in other chapters are amended so as to be consistent with this data set. Closure rules, elasticity parameters, solution methods and calibration methods are also discussed. Chapter 5 presents the results of the experiments carried out with the dynamic Spanish national CGE model. The core model presented in Chapter 4 has been extended to incorporate foreign direct investment and these changes are disclosed in the opening sections. Counterfactuals are designed so as to estimate the impact of foreign direct investment inflows and tourism demand shocks on the Spanish economy. Sensitivity analysis of the key exogenous parameters is also undertaken. Chapter 6 presents the results of the experiments carried out on the static regional CGE model of the regions of Spain. Input-Output tables for four of Spain's autonomous regions were obtained and integrated with the Spanish national table to create a data set which accounts for the four regions analysed and the remainder of the Spanish economy. The model presented in Chapter 4 is adapted to incorporate regional trade flows and structural differences are discussed. Counterfactuals are designed in order to investigate how regional tax policy might affect tourism flows in Spain and how tourism demand impacts on different regions in Spain. Sensitivity analysis of the key exogenous parameters is also undertaken. Chapter 7 presents the results of the experiments of the dynamic CGE model for the Canary Islands. The core model is identical to that presented in Chapter 4, except that it is applied at a sub-national rather than a national level. Counterfactuals are designed so as to take account of the issues affecting a small island economy that is heavily reliant on tourism. As before, sensitivity analysis of the key exogenous parameters is also undertaken. Chapter 8 summarises the findings of this study, highlights possibly policy implications and cites limitations of the research. Suggestions for further research are also highlighted.

Abstract:
Speed and measure of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is bringing about shifts in power, wealth and knowledge. For entrepreneurs, who are known to drive innovation, Industry 4.0 offers a wide scope of opportunities in the future. As a middle-income country, South Africa needs to use its knowledge and innovations to sharpen its innovative edge in order to compete globally and stimulate innovation. Hence, this research attempts to determine the relationships between entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneurial absorptive capacity and innovation capacity. Three conceptual frameworks of the interrelationships between these constructs were synthesised from the literature. As ample research on entrepreneurial competencies is widely available, a Delphi study was employed, together with a concept matrix to determine which entrepreneurial competencies should be included specifically significant for innovation within the 4IR context in South Africa. Four entrepreneurial competency categories emerged: cognitive (knowledge), functional (skills), social (attitudes and behaviours) and meta (facilitating learning) categories. Using a survey method, the analysis on a sample of 452 innovative entrepreneurs in South Africa was mainly done by empirically testing the causal linear relationship through structural equation modelling (SEM). Furthermore, an Artificial Neural Networking (ANN) technique which tests non-linear relationships and develop pattern recognition as well as modelling was conducted to compare the results of a non-linear relationship with those of a linear relationship. However, explorative comparisons of the performance of linear SEM models with non-linear NN indicated that the SEM models in this case performed better in explaining the variance in the dependent variables than did the ANN. Through the theories of innovative performance, person-entrepreneurial fit and knowledge spillover, the findings of the study indicate the importance of incorporating a unified entrepreneurial competency typology perspective on innovation. The cognitive, functional, social and meta competencies as well as entrepreneurial absorptive capacity are significant predictors of innovation capacity. The implications of this extend to transmitting knowledge through absorptive capacity, which allows entrepreneurs to identify and exploit opportunities, identified from new knowledge sources and incorporated into new innovations. Additionally, entrepreneurial absorptive capacity mediates the relationship between social, meta, and functional competencies and innovation capacity. Entrepreneurial absorptive capacity was also found to be a moderator between cognitive competencies and innovation capacity. Therefore, the development of certain entrepreneurial competencies, significant for innovation, is crucial for improving the strength of the relationship between entrepreneurial absorptive capacity and innovation capacity of entrepreneurs. These results have important implications for Industry 4.0 entrepreneurs, educators, policy makers as well as entrepreneurship models.

Abstract:
When crested wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum) grows in mixture with sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), its production declines. Its production increases when grown in mixture with fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens), according to previous reports. This study investigated soil water extraction and potassium (K) nutrition of the two shrubs to identify possible causes of the differential responses of crested wheatgrass. Crested wheatgrass had reduced, rather than increased, nitrogen (N) and K yield in mixture with fourwing saltbush. No differences in N and phosphorous (P) concentrations were observed between sagebrush and fourwing saltbush, but fourwing saltbush had a much higher K concentration and returned nearly twice as much K to the soil as sagebrush by throughfall and litterfall. Throughfall additions were much greater than those from litterfall. AK-fertilization/water-stress, two-factor greenhouse experiment was conducted with crested wheatgrass. High- and medium-K-fertilization treatments had highest tissue K concentration, but biomass yield was reduced in waterstressed plants with high K-fertilization. A difference of 1.56 MPa in osmotic adjustment was observed between waterstressed plants with high K-fertilization and irrigated, low-K-fertilization plants. These results suggest that K accumulation in fourwing saltbush may be a factor for enhanced crested wheatgrass productivity. Crested wheatgrass grown in mixture with fourwing saltbush had lowered predawn and mid-day xylem water potentials compared with monoculture and sagebrush mixture plots, but no other treatment differences were observed for any species. Fourwing saltbush monoculture plots had the most uniform water extraction rates and may compete less for water than sagebrush when crested wheatgrass extraction rates are highest.

Abstract:
Fasting and ketogenic diet prevent seizures in epileptic children, magnesium-deficient rats and other animal models of seizure disorders. This effect has been attributed to increased levels of circulating ketone bodies. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of serum ketone bodies, measured as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), in preventing audiogenically-induced seizures in weanling rats fed a magnesium-deficient diet for 17 days. The effect on seizure susceptibility was investigated by feeding a magnesium-deficient diet to weanling rats for 17 days. Fasting and ketogenic diet (dietary medium chain triglycerides, MCT) markedly decreased seizure incidence that was associated with increased serum BHB level. Also, rats fasted for 24h or fed 28 percent dietary MCT had decreased seizure incidence as compared with rats fed 3 percent dietary MCT or rats fasted for 6h. These effects were not caused by differences in caloric density or percentage of calories from fat in the diets. Gavaging 2 mmoles of BHB resulted in lower seizure incidence; as compared with rats gavaged with 0.5 mmoles BHB when measured 30 min after dosing. In contrast, gavaging 5.6 mmoles of glucose resulted in increased seizure incidence in 24-h-fasted rats. Gavaging 5.6 mmoles of glucose with 0.5 mmole of BHB simultaneously resulted in higher seizure incidence than gavaging with 2.0 mmole BHB and 1.4 mmole glucose simultaneuosly. In addition, gavaging 5.6 mmoles of glucose with 2 mmoles of BHB resulted in higher seizure incidence than gavaging 2 mmoles of BHB alone, which markedly reduced seizure incidence in fasted animals. Fasting, ketogenic diet (MCT) and gavaging BHB increase serum BHB and decrease serum glucose concentrations . Gavaging glucose reduced serum BHB and increased serum glucose concentration. There was an inverse relationship between serum BHB and glucose in all treatments of this study. Although some treatments affected serum minerals, these effects were not consistent among experiments. Therefore, fasting, ketogenic diet (MCT) and gavaging BHB or glucose does not affect serum minerals markedly or consistently; and modifications in serum minerals caused by these treatments do not account for this effect on seizure incidence and severity. Finally, increases in serum BHB and decreases in serum glucose were consistently associated with dose-dependent reductions in seizure susceptibility of rats fed a magnesium-deficient diet for 17 days.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationships among personality factors and life satisfaction in high school students. High school students ( N = 625) completed self-report measures of personality characteristics (namely, extraversion, neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness) and global life satisfaction. Results include the specific contribution of each of these personality dimensions as they relate to life satisfaction, gender differences, and the role of perceived classmate support in relationships between personality factors and life satisfaction. Specifically, findings revealed that about 45% of the variance in adolescents‟ life satisfaction scores was accounted for by their self-reported measures of personality factors. Neuroticism emerged as the strongest predictor of life satisfaction. Further, results demonstrated that openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion were significant and unique predictors of life satisfaction. Gender differences were found in the link between agreeableness and life satisfaction such that a higher level of agreeableness was related to higher life satisfaction for girls, but not for boys. Finally, results of the structural equation model that analyzed the role of perceived classmate support in the link between personality factors and life satisfaction revealed significant paths between four personality factors (excluding openness) and perceived classmate support. Further, the path from extraversion to perceived classmate support showed the strongest standardized path coefficient (.42); suggesting that a higher score on extraversion was associated with a higher level of perceived classmate support which, in turn, predicted higher levels of life satisfaction. Neuroticism demonstrated the strongest, albeit inverse, direct path to life satisfaction, further supporting the finding that higher levels of neuroticism were related to lower levels of life satisfaction. Findings provide school psychologists with a better understanding of the demographic (i.e., gender), stable (i.e., personality) and interpersonal characteristics (i.e., perceptions of classmate support) that place students at-risk for negative outcomes via low life satisfaction or, conversely, facilitate optimal wellness via high life satisfaction.

Abstract:
Solid lubricant coatings with controlled microstructures are good candidates in providing lubricity in moving mechanical assembly applications, such as orthopedics and bearing steels. Nanocrystalline ZnO coatings with a layered wurtzite crystal structure have the potential to function as a lubricious material by its defective structure which is controlled by sputter deposition. The interrelationships between sputtered ZnO, its nanocrystalline structure and its lubricity will be discussed in this thesis. The nanocrystalline ZnO coatings were deposited on silicon substrates and Ti alloys by RF magnetron sputtering with different substrate adhesion layers, direct current biases, and temperatures. X-ray diffraction identified that the ZnO (0002) preferred orientation was necessary to achieve low sliding friction and wear along with substrate biasing. In addition, other analyses such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were utilized to study the solid lubrication mechanisms responsible for low friction and wear.

Abstract:
There has been a long search for the keys to development and economic growth in Africa. This study investigates the relationship between FDI and economic growth over the period 2000-2012 using data from 48 African countries. On the aggregate regional level FDI and economic growth were found to be positively correlated during this period. Using panel data econometric techniques and the Panel Granger Causality test, results revealed that a bi-directional causality relationship existed between FDI and GDP. Thus, the results suggest that GDP is a requirement for increased investment, and at the same time is the result of increased foreign investment. Thus, the conclusion is that African policy makers are justified in increasing their attempts to create an attractive business environment for foreign investors, as it is beneficial for economic growth.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the branchial mechanisms utilized by freshwater fish to regulate internal acid-base status and presents a model to explain the underlying basis of the compensatory processes. Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, brown bullhead, Ictalurus nebulosus, and American eels, Anguilla rostrata, were examined under a variety of experimental treatments which induced both respiratory (hyperoxia, hypercapnia) and metabolic (post-hyperoxia, post-hypercapnia, HCl infusion, NaHCO$\sb3$ infusion) acid-base disturbances. Acid-base-regulation was achieved by appropriate adjustments of Na$\sp+$ and Cl$\sp-$ net fluxes across the gills which, in turn, were accomplished by variable contributions of three different branchial mechanisms; (i) morphological adjustments to the gill epithelium, (ii) changes in internal (H$\sp+,$ HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ and external (Na$\sp+,$ HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ substrate availability, and (iii) differential changes in Na$\sp+$ versus Cl$\sp-$ net fluxes through regulation of Cl$\sp-$ efflux. This thesis determined the variable contribution of each of these mechanisms to overall compensation of acid-base disturbances. In brown bullhead and trout, respiratory acidosis caused a reduction in chloride cell (CC) surface area whereas alkalosis was associated with increases in CC surface area. Increases in the density of microvilli displayed on the external surface of the PVC coupled with ultrastructural modifications during hypercapnic acidosis were associated with increases in Na$\sp+$ uptake $\rm(J\sb{in}\sp{Na+}).$ In addition to the effect that alterations in CC surface area have on the rate of Cl$\sp-$/HCO$\sb3\sp-$ exchange $\rm(J\sb{in}\sp{Cl-}),$ it was demonstrated that changes in the concentration of the internal counter-ion (HCO$\sb3\sp-)$ may alter the rates of acid-base compensation. When (HCO$\sb3\sp-$) is elevated, $\rm J\sb{max}\sp{Cl-}$ is elevated thereby increasing the capacity to excrete HCO$\sb3\sp-$ via the Cl$\sp-$/HCO$\sb3\sp-$ exchanger over and above those determined by CC morphology. This is an important mechanism to increase the rate of acid-base compensation during metabolic alkalosis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Abstract:
Recent advances in technology permitted the first simultaneous digital recording of intranarial pressure and on-axis acoustic data from bottlenose dolphins during a biosonar target recognition task. Analysis of pressurization events in the intranarial space quantifies and supports earlier work, confirming that intranarial pressure is increased when whistle vocalizations are emitted. The results show complex relationships between various properties of the biosonar click to the intranarial pressure difference at the time it was generated. The intranarial pressure that drives the production of clicks is not the primary determinant of many of the acoustic properties of those clicks. A simple piston-cylinder physical model coupled with a sound production model of clicks produced at the monkey-lips/dorsal bursae complex yields an estimate of mechanical work for individual pressurization events. Individual pressurization events are typically associated with a single click train. Mechanical work for an average pressurization event is estimated at 10 Joules.

Abstract:
This study analyzes the economic and demographic drivers of household demand for at-home consumption of nonalcoholic beverages in 1999. Drivers of available intake of calories, calcium, vitamin C, and caffeine associated with the purchase of nonalcoholic beverages also are analyzed. The 1999 ACNielsen HomeScan Panel, purchased by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service, is the source of the data for this project. Many different classifications of beverages were analyzed including milk(whole, reduced fat, flavored, and non-flavored), regular and low-calorie carbonated soft drinks, powdered soft drinks, isotonics(sports drinks), juices(orange, apple, vegetable, and other juices), fruit drinks, bottled water, coffee(regular and decaffeinated), and tea(regular and decaffeinated). Probit models were used to find demographic drivers that affect the choice to purchase a nonalcoholic beverage. Heckman sample selection models and cross tabulations were used to find demographic patterns pertaining to the amount of purchase of the nonalcoholic beverages. The nutrient analysis indicated that individuals receive 211 calories, 217 mg of calcium, 45 mg of vitamin C, and 95 mg of caffeine per day from all nonalcoholic beverages. A critical finding for the nutrient analysis was that persons within households below 130% of poverty were receiving more calories and caffeine from nonalcoholic beverages compared to persons within households above 130% of poverty. Likewise, persons in households below 130% of poverty were receiving less calcium and vitamin C from nonalcoholic beverages compared to persons in households above 130% of poverty. Price and cross-price elasticities were examined using the LA/AIDS model. Methodological concerns of data frequency, beverage aggregations, and censoring techniques were explored and discussed. Own-price and cross-price elasticities for the beverages were uncovered. Price elasticities by selected demographic groups also were investigated. Results indicated that price elasticities varied by demographics, specifically for race, region, and presence of children within the household. The information uncovered in this dissertation helps to update consumer demand knowledge and nutritional intake understanding in relation to nonalcoholic beverages. The information can be used as a guide for marketing strategists for targeting and promotion as well as for policy makers looking to improve nutritional intake received from nonalcoholic beverages.
