"Alas for the Church of God": Southern Methodist Leaders and the Quest for Ecclesiological Identity, 1844-1876
(2016-08-19)
This dissertation traces the formation, development, and preservation of a distinctive “southern Methodist” identity by southern Wesleyan leaders during the Civil War era, and describes the tensions faced in seeking to ...
Alcohol Cue Reactivity and Salivary Alpha-Amylase Response in Binge Drinkers
(2022-11-30)
Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and binge drinking is a known risk factor for the development of AUDs. Blood-level-oxygen-response (BOLD) signal during alcohol cues ...
Alcohol Use and Related Risk Behaviors Among College Students and Military Personnel
(2011-12-13)
To date, no published studies have been conducted examining alcohol use specifically among military veterans who are attending college. Studies on whether interventions designed for either veterans or college students are ...
Alcohol Use and Social Anxiety in a College Student Population
(2006-12-15)
The results of epidemiological studies using clinical and community samples have shown a strong link between social anxiety and alcohol use. However, the results of studies that use a college student population to investigate ...
Alcohol, Sleep and Five-Factor Personality Characteristics: A Latent Profile Analysis
(2020-03-05)
To date, a substantial body of research has demonstrated that undergraduate students are often found to experience poor sleep quality, as well as frequently high levels of alcohol usage. Furthermore these two concerns are ...
Alcohol-carboxylate transport in phenyl-based membranes of varying chain length transport
(2023-08-02)
As global climate change is a major concern which is accelerated by CO2 emissions, we need to reduce CO2 emissions from the environment. In order to do that, researchers conceptualized CO2 reduction cells which electrochemically ...
Alcohol-Related Problems as Specific Correlates of Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide Constructs
(2014-06-18)
The relationship between alcohol misuse and suicide ideation among undergraduate
students has recently been investigated through the potential mechanisms of coping motives for drinking (Gonzalez, Bradizza, & Collins, ...
