Women's Eating, Weight, and Shape Concerns and the Couple Relationship during the Transition to Parenthood
(2010-10-12)
The transition to parenthood brings a host of changes to new parents; two key
areas of change are decreases in relationship functioning and a worsening of women's
eating, weight, and shape (EWS) concerns. Past research ...
A Study of Microfluidic Reconfiguration Mechanisms Enabled by Functionalized Dispersions of Colloidal Material for Radio Frequency Applications
(2010-07-14)
Communication and reconnaissance systems are requiring increasing flexibility concerning functionality and efficiency for multiband and broadband frequency applications. Circuit-based reconfiguration mechanisms continue ...
Static Stability of Tension Leg Platforms
(2010-07-14)
The static stability of a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) with an intact tendon system is principally provided by its tendons and hence quite different from those of a conventional ship or even a floating structure positioned ...
Effects of Grassland Restoration on Avian Assemblage Characteristics and Dickcissel Nesting Success in Texas
(2010-07-14)
The prairies of North America have undergone substantial changes since European settlement in the 1800's, with some estimates suggesting that 96% of the tallgrass prairie has been converted. Multiple factors contributed ...
Analysis of Binding Affinity in Drug Design Based on an Ab-initio Approach
(2010-07-14)
Computational methods are a convenient resource to solve drawbacks of drug
research such as high cost, time-consumption, and high risk of failure. In order to get an
optimum search of new drugs we need to design a rational ...
New Solution Methods for Joint Chance-Constrained Stochastic Programs with Random Left-Hand Sides
(2010-01-16)
We consider joint chance-constrained programs with random lefthand sides.
The motivation of this project is that this class of problem has many important
applications, but there are few existing solution methods. For the ...
DYNAMICS OF INTELLIGENT POLY(N-ISOPROPYLACRYLAMIDE) MICROGELS
(2010-01-16)
This dissertation investigates the self assembly and automatic oscillation of intelligent
poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) [PNIPAM] microgel particles. The equilibrium phase
diagram as a function of temperature and concentration ...
Toughening of Epoxies Based on Self-Assembly of Nano-Sized Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Micelles
(2010-01-16)
As a part of a larger effort towards the fundamental understanding of mechanical
behaviors of polymers toughened by nanoparticles, this dissertation focuses on the
structure-property relationship of epoxies modified with ...
Narcissism and Type of Violent Relationships for Perpetrators of Intimate Partner Violence
(2010-01-16)
The study proposed to distinguish differences in perpetrators of Intimate Partner
Violence (i.e., Common Couple Violence and Patriarchal Terrorism) due to the
mediating effect of their presentations of narcissism (covert ...
