Hypothetical Analysis on Cost Effectiveness of Centerline Rumble Strips as a Crash Countermeasure
(2006-05-15)
Rural roads are mostly undivided highways with high speed, two-way traffic.
These factors coupled with inattentive driver behavior increase the risk of frontal and
sideswipe collisions. Widening of roads and installation ...
Hypoxia-induced behaviors of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi
(2016-08-05)
The hypoxia-associated behaviors of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi are not well understood, despite the ecological significant of this species and the widespread nature of hypoxic (low oxygen) events. The interface of ...
“I am like a child who of diverse / flowers intends to form a beautiful garland”: Moderata Fonte’s Revisions of Gender in Floridoro
(2010-05-05)
Sixteenth-century Venetian author Moderata Fonte’s first literary work, Tredici canti del Floridoro, is compared to the epic romance of Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso to suggest why and how a woman writer begins to model her ...
I made it! Effects of perceptions of success and enhanced expectancies on motor learning and its underlying mechanisms
(2023-07-25)
This dissertation describes a program of research encompassing three studies that focused on examining the effects of enhanced expectancies and perceptions of success on motor learning. OPTIMAL theory (Wulf & Lewthwaite, ...
“I SEE You”: A Descriptive Analysis of Shared Emotional Experiences During Mother-Infant Interaction
(2022-07-16)
Extensive research and theory recognize the bidirectional contributions of parent and infant to the quality of early relationships. During mother-infant interaction, shared emotional experiences, defined as reciprocal and ...
I-weight, special base properties and related covering properties
(2005-12-15)
Alleche, Arhangel'ski\u{\i} and Calbrix defined the notion of a sharp base and posed the question: Is there a regular space with a sharp base whose product with [0, 1] does not have a sharp base? Chapter 2 contains an ...
ICD-11 Versus DSM-5 Conceptualizations of Posttraumatic Psychopathology: Implications for Prevalence, Comorbidity, and Measurement of PTSD and Complex PTSD
(2022-04-25)
ICD-11 and DSM-5 represent disparate approaches to diagnostic categories and criteria for posttraumatic psychopathology. First, DSM-5 follows a broad approach to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom criteria, whereas ...
Ice Formation and the Affects of Cold Acclimation on Cold Hardiness in a Subtropical Fruit Species
(2007-12-15)
Fruit production in the southeastern United States is highly vulnerable to freezes. Understanding the mechanism of damage in various fruit crops leads to methods for mitigation of damage through direct protection, cultural ...
Ideal protein concept and its application in practical diets for Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
(2017-11-16)
Protein is considered the most important dietary component as it comprises a significant proportion of whole body dry matter of fish. As it has high cost per unit, provision of feed meeting an exact requirement for protein ...
Identification and analysis of genome-wide SNPs provide insight into signatures of selection and domestication in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(2014-12-10)
Domestication and selection for important performance traits can impact the genome, which is most often reflected by reduced heterozygosity in and surrounding genes related to traits affected by selection. In this study, ...
Identification and analysis of recently duplicated genes in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) genome
(2013-12-04)
Gene duplication is an important source of genetic innovation and structure and usually associated to the lineage-specific adaptive trait during evolution, such as genes related to immunity, development and reproduction. ...
Identification and Characterization of Molecular Correlates of Disease in Invasive Streptococcus and Staphylococcus Infection Models
(2015-07-29)
Invasion into the host vasculature marks a dangerous, and often times fatal, complication of bacterial infections. One such severely invasive bacterium, Streptococcus pyogenes, is estimated to affect 18 million people ...
Identification and characterization of suppressors of the non-fermentable carbon source defects of coa1Δ
(2013-11-21)
The assembly of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) in yeast mitochondria is dependent on the assembly factor Coa1. ATP1 was identified as a multi-copy suppressor of the coa1∆ respiration defect. ATP1 is additive with previously ...
Identification and Classification of Geographically Isolated Wetlands in North Alabama using Geographic Object Based Image Analysis (GeOBIA)
