Help, Is There a Doctor in the Forum?: A Fantasy Theme Analysis of the Student Doctor Network Forums
(2008-08-15)
This thesis uses an applied methodology based on Bormann's (1972b) fantasy theme analysis to study the Internet communication in the Student Doctor Network (SDN) Forums. The Internet posts of several thousands of pre-medical ...
Helping Preschool Children Acquire Critical Literacy Skills Through Parent Training and Intervention
(2013-11-15)
Parents of young children often wonder how they can prepare their preschoolers to read. Many understand the importance of reading to their children and teaching the alphabet but they are unaware of another critical literacy ...
Hemicelluloses extraction and nanocellulose addition as a partial replacement for non-renewable adhesives in oriented strand board.
(2019-04-16)
Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product used for building wood-based structures (e.g., walls, floors, ceilings, furniture). This composite is manufactured with small pieces of wood (strands) linked together ...
Hemichordate phylogeny: a molecular and genomic approach
(2014-04-17)
The phylogenetic relationships within Hemichordata are significant for understanding the evolution of the deuterostomes. Hemichordates possess several important morphological structures in common with chordates, and they ...
Henry Thoreau and Carl Jung: More Day to Dawn
(2008-05-15)
My thesis investigates Thoreau from a Jungian perspective, concentrating primarily on Walden, with additional analysis of Thoreau’s biography and A Week On the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. I apply Jung’s concept of ...
Herbicide Performance and Weed Seedbank Dynamics as Affected by High Residue Conservation Agriculture Systems
(2009-11-12)
With the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops in the late 1990’s, there has been widespread adoption of conservation agriculture systems throughout the southern portion of the United States, including Alabama. ...
Herbicide resistance screening in Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. ssp. multiflorum) and sustainable weed management strategy for peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in Alabama
(2024-11-19)
Alabama has a diverse agriculture with corn, cotton, soybeans, peanuts, and wheat being the major row crops. Weed management is a very

Herbicide Tolerance and Weed Control of Longleaf Pine Native Understory Species
(2015-07-27)
The restoration of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is an important environmental issue due to the shrinking size of this once dominant forest type. The restoration of this ecosystem requires the presence of native understory ...
A Hereditarily Indecomposable Inverse Limit of Finite Path Graphs
(2024-07-25)
In this dissertation, we explore the properties and significance of inverse limit spaces where the factor spaces are path graphs. We define the graph topology for finite graphs and discuss the properties of a continuous ...
