The Basque separatist armed organization ETA laid down arms in 2011 after forty years of armed campaign for independence. It was not a consequence of political negotiations. The Basque group did not achieve its goals. Yet, ...
Development and Seismic Evaluation of Pier Systems w/Pocket Connections, CFRP Tendons, and ECC/UHPC Columns
(2017)
Deployment of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) technology has been gaining momentum in recent years. ABC offers many advantages over conventional bridge construction by expediting onsite construction while shortening ...
Butterflies, inchworms, and plants: revisiting long-standing hypotheses of codiversification
(2015)
The purpose of this dissertation was to understand how changes in short-term ecological factors have lead to long-term evolutionary consequences, with a particular focus on the diversification of herbivorous insects and ...
Profoundly Gifted Students' Perceptions of Virtual Classrooms: A Phenomenological Case Study
(2015)
Virtual schools and online learning have become ubiquitous in American education. Virtual schools in particular offer the possibility for students from across the country to come together for a complete educational experience ...
Collective Force Generator Model of Muscle Contraction: Theoretical and Experimental Support for Factors Beyond Detachment Kinetics that Influence Unloaded Shortening Velocities of Muscle
(2013)
This dissertation covers three related approaches to developing a more complete understanding of how single molecule properties of muscle myosin collectively generate unloaded shortening velocities, V. Theory, experimentation, ...
Mock Jurors' Attributions and Attributional Processes in a Medical Malpractice Case: Examining the Influence of Plaintiff Weight, Juror Characteristics, and Deliberations
(2015)
Research suggests that most Americans harbor weight-related prejudices, which can translate into discrimination against the obese across a variety of contexts. Yet, little is known about how anti-fat bias may influence ...

Defects in protein trafficking affect expression of GPCRs in C. elegans
(2015)
In the nematode C. elegans, the bilaterally symmetric PVQ neurons are located in the tail and each extends an axon along the ventral nerve cord to the head. Several G protein coupled receptors (EGL-47, SRA-6) are terminally ...
Electrochemical Studies of Colloidal Semiconducting Nanoparticles at Ultramicroelectrodes
(2013)
In this thesis we describe a method to detect the collisions of semiconducting nanoparticle colloids by photoelectrochemical (PEC) current events at ultamicroelectrodes (UMEs). As the reference system, we studied oxidation ...
