Conflict Behaviors and Marital Satisfaction in Older Adulthood: A Typology
(2014-06-24)
Research has generally supported the idea that older adult conflict resolution is different from that of younger adults and that more effective conflict resolution skills are positively associated with marital satisfaction ...
Congestion Control in Wireless Sensor Networks
(2010-07-30)
For this thesis we consider Directed Diffusion routing protocol. It manages paths in a
data-centric way. A sink node publicizes its interest in some events. Such an interest will
be disseminated within the network and ...
Congestion control, Video streaming, Wireless networks, Deep reinforcement learning
(2019-01-03)
With the fast growth of wireless technologies, such as 4G-LTE, cognitive radio networks,
and 5G and beyond, data transportation in the wireless environment is dramatically increasing
and has taken the dominant role over ...
Conjoint Analysis of Breaded Catfish Nuggets: Consumer Preferences for Price, Product Color, Cooking Method, and Country of Origin
(2008-05-15)
The catfish nugget is the residual product that results when the belly flap is cut away the fillet to produce the shank fillet. Nuggets are a lower-valued portion of the catfish because of their high fat content, higher ...
Connecting in a digital world: How information and communication technologies shape the leader-subordinate experience
(2019-07-23)
The present study investigated how the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) impacts leader-member exchange (LMX) quality and its resulting organizational outcomes. The primary hypothesis of interest was ...
Connection Demand Prediction for the Design of Precast Concrete Wall Panels Subjected to Blast Loads
(2015-01-09)
One challenge in design of structures for highly impulsive loading is accurately predicting the peak transient shear and the corresponding connection force demand at supports. Single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) approaches ...
Connectivity analysis of functional MRI data in the latent neuronal space: Applications in science and medicine
(2014-04-25)
Since the inception of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) there has been a steady growth in the number of studies utilizing this non-invasive method to gain insights into the brain function in both healthy and ...
Connectivity Based Characterization of Brain Function in Humans and Dogs
(2017-11-30)
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to infer brain function in both healthy and clinical populations. Here, we propose novel approaches for connectivity based characterization in both humans ...
Connoisseurship of Teaching in Higher Education
(2017-04-20)
This study examined the principles and practices of award-winning instructors in the classroom. This study creates a perspective of what constitutes teaching expertise in a higher education classroom. The purpose of this ...
Consequences of Decreased Water Temperature Caused by Aerator-Induced Evaporation on Growth of Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei in Ponds
(2016-07-25)
Two studies were performed related to water temperature in aquaculture ponds. The first study evaluated the influence of aeration on evaporation and water temperature in ponds, and compared the effects of daytime and ...
Consequences of low-head dams on crayfish distribution and gene flow in Alabama stream
(2010-08-03)
Dams are numerous in many eastern US streams, and instream physicochemical and biotic impacts of dams can alter flow and sediment regimes and channel geomorphology as well as reducing longitudinal movement by fishes and ...
Consequences of Mutualisms Between Aphids and an Invasive Ant to Arthropod Communities and Their Host Plants
(2006-05-15)
Mutualisms between ants and honeydew-producing Hemipteran insects (e.g., aphids) are abundant and widespread in arthropod food webs, yet their ecological consequences are very poorly known. Previous work in several ...
Conservation Compliance and Public Awareness: Assessing Dolphin and Sea Turtle Interactions in Coastal Alabama
(2024-06-26)
The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) serve as critical legislation for safeguarding marine species in the United States, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico region. Despite legal ...
Conservation Design: Linking Development to the Land
(2011-11-30)
Alabama contains well over 500 abandoned mines across the northern part of the state and while some mining zones continue to degrade the landscape over time, others have been reclaimed naturally and left in an ambiguous ...
Conservation of a Florida Endemic Carnivorous Plant: Godfrey’s Butterwort (Pinguicula ionantha)
(2006-12-15)
For conservation and recovery efforts to be effective under the Endangered Species Act, knowledge of the factors which make a species rare must be gained. In order to meet conservation goals, this study focuses on the ...
