The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between perceived parenting style, locus of control, self-efficacy, and student outcome (i.e. academic performance, GPA) in a sample of college students. The ...
Parenting, Attachment and Child Outcomes: Self-Regulation as a Developmental mechanism
(2013-07-31)
Using data from The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD), I conducted two distinct but related studies. In the first study, the associations ...
Parents, Peers, and Risky Sexual Behavior in Rural African American Adolescents
(2008-08-15)
The current study examined the relationships among parenting factors (closeness, communication, support, and monitoring), peer deviance, and adolescent risky sexual behavior in a sample of rural African American youth (N ...
'A Participant in the World': Identity, Change, and the Closet in Angels in America
(2008-05-15)
Tony Kushner’s Angels in America consists of two plays that examine the lives of a group of gay men living in New York City during the mid-1980s. Kushner revised Perestroika, the second play, in 1995, and made further ...
Participatory Design of Warning Symbols Using Distributed Interactive Evolutionary Computation
(2009-12-14)
Safety warnings play an important role in communicating risk via product labels and environmental signs. With the diversification of cultures and languages in the United States, and with the increasing globalization of ...
Particle Bubble Interactions in Flotation Systems
(2007-05-15)
Flotation separation is an important process in mineral processing and paper recycling. Flotation is a separation process used to remove particles from a liquid stream. Bubbles are introduced into the liquid stream, and, ...
Particle Charge Determination in a Magnetized Dusty Plasma Flow
(2023-05-04)
Dusty plasmas consist of components typically found in a plasma (electrons, ions
and neutral particles) as well as micrometer sized dust particles. The structural and dynamic
properties of a dusty plasma system are ...
Particle Motion Analysis in Pancreatic Islets Isolation using a Quadrupole Magnetic Flow Sorter
(2010-12-14)
Pancreatic islet transplantation offers a viable option to achieve permanent metabolic control in Type 1 diabetes patients. However, large quantities of pure viable donor islet cells are necessary for transplantation. Using ...
Particle Simulation of Lower Hybrid Waves and Electron-Ion Hybrid Instability
(2014-05-01)
Lower hybrid wave (LHW) has been of great interest to laboratory plasma physics for decades due to its important applications in particles heating and current drive in plasmas devices. There are two fundamental characteristics ...
Particle Size Affects Physical and Chemical Properties of 100% Pine Bark Horticultural Substrate
(2017-04-21)
Pine bark is the most commonly used substrate component for container plant production in the southeastern United States, with some growers using 100% pine bark. Substrate physical and chemical properties directly affect ...
Particle Swarm Optimization Applied to the Design of a Nonlinear Control
(2006-05-15)
A method of searching for a tuning of an input to state linearizing controller is
presented. The problem of ?nding the appropriate weights of the control law’s terms
is treated as an optimization problem. Given the highly ...
Partnering With Physicians: How Are Medical Speech-Language Pathologists Perceived
