Genetic mark-recapture provides insights into bee movement and plant reproductive success
(2019-05-20)
Genetic data offer a means of inferring the contemporary and historical movement of organisms, in study systems where direct observation is infeasible. However, the use of genetic markers as a proxy for the direct observation ...
Embryogenesis, trophic eggs, and early colony growth of myrmicine ants
(2019-05-08)
Myrmicinae is the largest subfamily of ants (Formicidae, Hymenoptera) that encompass a great diversity of morphology, behavior, and life-histories. As model systems, ants have been used to address mainly questions of social ...
Aquí somos bilingües : a case study of how a teacher’s pedagogy supports biliteracy development and the influence of the teacher’s Postura Activista on language and literacy instruction in a one-way dual language classroom
(2019-06-13)
This qualitative case study examines how a teacher’s pedagogy during language arts instruction supports biliteracy development and the influence of the teacher’s activist stance on language and literacy instruction in a ...
Analyses of gaze in music tasks : score reading and observations of instrumental performance
(2019-09-24)
The optimal allocation of attention is a central feature of expert music teachers’ capacity to create meaningful change in student performances. Experts consistently identify the most important components of relevant ...
Parsing the heterogeneity : an examination of genetic and environmental influences on intermediate phenotypes of Major Depressive Disorder
(2019-09-19)
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating disorder associated with a tremendous societal burden (Greenberg & Birnbaum, 2005). Despite significant research efforts, the etiology of MDD remains elusive, ...
The vibrational dynamics of 3D HOCl above dissociation
(2015-08)
We have analyzed the vibrational dynamics of HOCl above dissociation using a 3D energy surface which governs the vibrational dynamics of HOCl above dissociation. The dynamics is dominated by an invariant manifold which is ...
Depositional architecture and geochemical evolution in Permian Capitan platforms of the Delaware Basin, Texas and New Mexico
(2019-09-26)
Geochemical data from carbonate sediments are used to constrain chemical changes in ancient oceans. Marine carbonates can be representative of the global ocean, but many ancient carbonates precipitated in isolated water ...
Techniques for discovery and mass measurement using the boundary of many-body phase space
(2019-09-16)
Despite several independent clues indicating new physics at the TeV scale, a lack of conclusive evidence for new physics so far suggests that future discoveries may only come from small numbers of new signal events. ...
Quantum chaos, scattering, and BICs on smooth potentials
(2019-08-08)
In this dissertation, quantum signatures of chaos and scattering dynamics on several smooth potential models are investigated. In the second chapter, we study chaos in a honeycomb lattice reminiscent of graphene [Phys. ...
Perception and expression of emotion in TBI : identification of emotion, recognition of emotional ambiguity, and emotional verbal fluency
(2019-08-08)
Communication and social integration require effective emotional, cognitive, and language processing within the brain. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in impaired emotion processing in a variety of contexts including ...
