Gaze behavior during predictive and diagnostic reasoning
(2019-08-16)
Many current theories of causal learning and reasoning offer causal structure as the answer to a long-standing question: what allows people to distinguish causal relationships from non-causal relationships? One component ...
GC-MS and GC-IRD Studies on Ethoxyphenethylamines Related to MDEA, MDMMA and MDBD
(2009-12-17)
Three regioisomeric 3,4-methylenedioxyphenethylamines having the same molecular weight and major mass spectral fragments of equal mass have been reported as drugs of abuse in recent years. These compounds are 3,4-methyle ...
GC-MS Studies on a Series of 1-pentylacylindoles: Regioisomeric Compounds Related to the Synthetic Cannabinoids.
(2016-07-12)
This thesis is primarily focused on analytical approaches to differentiate twenty isomeric
compounds related to designer drugs of the1-pentyl-acylindoles class. The compounds
investigated represent a series of synthetic ...
GC-MS Studies on Methoxymethylene- Substituted Phenethylamines Related to MDA, MDMA, MDEA and MDMMA
(2012-07-25)
This thesis mainly focused on synthesis and analysis approaches of eight methoxymethylene phenethylamine compounds associated with MDMA and MBDB series structures. Gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods were ...
Gender and Rural Vitality: Empowerment through Women’s Community Groups
(2019-04-23)
Rural women are often the main supporters of their families and have been involved in improving the quality of life for households and communities. Sustainable rural development and poverty reduction is linked to empowering ...
Gender Bias Against Sarah Palin: A Content Analysis of National Newspapers
(2009-07-31)
A content analysis was conducted to examine whether a gender bias existed in national newspaper coverage of the 2008 presidential election. This presidential race proved to be historical in many aspects. Not only was the ...
Gender Differences in Perceptions of Organizational Climate
(2014-12-10)
Organizations that have a progressive culture emphasize respect for people through fairness, equality, and support for all employees. Espoused organization values can endorse a progressive climate in theory; however, the ...
Gender on Paper: Gender Performances in American Women's Poetry 1650-Present
(2007-05-15)
Gender on paper is an act; it is performed. Using Judith Butler’s definition of gender as a basis for an analysis of how gender is constructed, I look at the “repeated acts” of particular language usage in poems written ...
Gender role attitudes: An examination of within-individual malleability and the value of dyadic congruence
(2012-05-17)
Suggestions from structural symbolic interactionism and recent empirical studies are that gender role attitudes are malleable – able to change and be redefined – at the individual-level in relation to significant experiences. ...
