The Contrast Avoidance Model in Generalized Anxiety and Depression: A Longitudinal Panel Study
(2021-05-18)
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are two of the most commonly comorbid diagnoses (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), suggesting they may share etiological and maintenance processes, ...
Contrasting the influence of overstory tree species identity on microclimate, fuels, and tree regeneration in a longleaf pine forest
(2023-07-24)
Fire-dependent ecosystems worldwide are facing a significant threat from anthropogenic activities, particularly land use changes and decades of fire exclusion. These alterations have led to a transformation in once open ...
Contributing Factors to Agricultural Educator Disengagement
(2023-07-05)
As populations continue to rise across the globe, it is essential to continue the education of all people on the importance of agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of society, and humans would not be successful without ...
Contribution of Particle Size and Moisture Content to Flowability of Fractionated Ground Loblolly Pine
(2014-05-20)
The use of woody biomass requires feedstock materials in particulate form; therefore there is a need for size reduction of the feedstock materials. Ground biomass typically has a non-uniform particle size and as a biological ...
The contribution of relationship experiences to adolescent romantic relationship outcomes
(2015-07-28)
This research focused on the role of relationship experiences in adolescent romantic relationships using both basic and applied approaches. Research questions are guided by life course and social cognitive theories which ...
