▼ Sports and technology are two male-dominated realms, a
characteristic that leaves less room for women to become involved.
Fantasy sports, gaining popularity on the Internet, combine sports
and technology. This thesis explores the ways online fantasy sports
offer a unique playing field for both genders and an opportunity
for true equality within that space. This exploration is
accomplished through ideological discussion of sports and
technology and rhetorical analysis of online fantasy sport websites
and other online material by means of sport/gender and feminist
theories. Scholars argue that sports and technology influence
gender identity development. Male hegemony continues to thrive in
sports because of existing stereotypes. Fantasy sports may
eliminate many of these stereotypes because they are played online
and, thus, certain aspects of the physical world do not apply.
Also, trends show the gender gap in technology is decreasing, which
disrupts male hegemony, yet technology still remains a
male-dominated world. Studies indicate that women exhibit
technological competence, yet come across barriers preventing them
from becoming involved in computer technologies. The barriers and
stereotypes of both technology and sports may be eliminated through
knowledge and education, especially by encouraging a conscious
awareness of gendered-thinking and the limitations of this
thinking. Fantasy sports are currently male-dominated, yet there
are few, if any, psychological or physical reasons why women cannot
become involved in this activity. The exclusionary rhetoric of many
fantasy sport websites hinders the involvement of women because
women are often degraded or ridiculed for their interest in sports
on certain fantasy sport websites. Yet many women are expressing an
interest in fantasy sports, evident through websites such as
Femmefan.com. This thesis outlines proposed characteristics of a
female-oriented fantasy sport website, which might foster more
female participation in fantasy sports. Conscious efforts to
promote fantasy sports towards the female population could help
decrease the gender gap in sports and technology and provide
equality in the fantasy sport environment.; Fantasy games, Sex

Whistles as potential indicators of stress in bottlenose

▼ Stress has been defined as an environmental effect on
an individual that overtaxes its functional abilities. The
diversity of stress responses among marine mammals makes it
difficult to develop a comprehensive diagnostic protocol to
evaluate stress. The development of a relatively non-invasive tool
with which to evaluate stress in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops
truncatus) could allow for assessments of animals that may be at
risk, and assessment of free-ranging animals without
capture-release. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether
vocalizations, specifically signature whistles, could serve as
possible indicators of acute (or short-term) stress in bottlenose
dolphins. Recordings made during brief capture-release events and
during focal follows of undisturbed animals in Sarasota Bay, FL,
were used to address this question. Although there is no evidence
that capture-release events have any long or short term adverse
impacts on members of the Sarasota dolphin community, it is likely
that they are a source of short-term stress to the dolphins. I
asked the following questions: Will whistle rates and number of
loops (repetitive elements in whistles) be greater: (1) during
capture-release than during undisturbed focal follows? (2) at the
beginning of a capture-release session than at the end of a
session? (3) during an individual’s first capture-release session
than during later sessions? (4) when a mother is caught and
released with a dependent calf than without a dependent calf? I
also examined whether the duration of loops and/or inter-loop
intervals, and maximum and minimum frequency of whistles change in
any of the above contexts. Loop number was significantly higher
during capture-release than during focal follows, and decreased
significantly from the beginning to the end of an individual’s
capture-release session. Loop duration was significantly shorter at
the beginning than at the end of an individual session. Whistle
rate was also significantly higher during capture-release than
during focal follows, and during a dolphin’s first capture-release
than during subsequent sessions. Females caught with a dependent
calf produced whistles with significantly higher maximum
frequencies and shorter inter-loop intervals than when caught and
released without a dependent calf. Based on the results of this
study, further research would be warranted on assessing the utility
of signature whistle rate and loop number as behavioral indicators
of short-term stress in bottlenose dolphins. These measures could
potentially be utilized independently, or in conjunction with
physiological indicators, in assessments of the impact of
potentially stressful human activities on bottlenose dolphins.;

▼ Between January and April 2002, Mason Inlet, situated
between Figure Eight Island and Wrightsville Beach, N.C. was
artificially relocated 2,800 ft updrift of its most recent position
at the southern terminus of a migrating barrier spit. Relocation
was chosen from several coastal management options due to increased
backbarrier infilling and southerly migration of the inlet that
imminently threatened a resort complex and infrastructure on
northern Wrightsville Beach. The relocated Mason Inlet provides an
ideal site to study the evolution and impacts of a recently
relocated system from its inception while simultaneously assessing
the relative success of the project. Techniques such as ADCP, RTK
GPS, and GIS-based analyses served as tools in the collection of
data pertaining to a variety of inlet parameters. Cumulative
erosion measured along neighboring shoreline reaches was induced by
inlet relocation and subsequent formation of the ebb-tidal delta
coupled with channel migration. Key indicators suggest that the
system remains flood dominant. Noticeable infilling of the
backbarrier persists along with ebb durations exceeding flood
durations and flood flow volumes exceeding ebb volumes. JARRETT's
(1976) theoretical equation relating tidal prism (TP) and
cross-sectional area (AC) appears to be a useful tool for
estimation of the relocated Mason Inlet's TP. However, ebb-tidal
delta volume after 1.6 years remains well below the equilibrium
volume predicted by WALTON and ADAMS' (1976) model. Future
modification (e.g. dredging feeder channels) to the system will be
needed in order to mitigate the infilling nature of the inlet that
historically has led to increased migration to the southwest.
Failure to contain the inlet within the proposed “inlet corridor”
will result in an unsuccessful relocation effort.; Dredging,

▼ The purpose of the present study was to examine the
development of the Intimate Friendship Scale (IFS), a 32 item
self-report measure of close friendship initially developed using
adolescent Kibbutz children. Investigations of the structure of
friendship are useful for advancing knowledge of what dimensions
influence drinking patterns among friend dyads in college.
Sharabany has proposed an eight-factor model of friendship and her
questionnaire items are widely used but their latent structure and
factorial validity remains contentious. Three Studies examined the
internal validity of the Intimate Friendship Scale using
college-aged students (N = 762). A two-factor model of friendship
was found to fit the data the best. The two factors were
theoretically described as characteristic of either Intimate or
Instrumental friendship. Study 4 uses these two factors and
examines the drinking patterns among friendship dyads in college.
Results indicate that friends that rated themselves higher on the
Intimate subscale items had higher odds of drinking with their
friend. However, there was no association between scores on the
Instrumental subscale and the likelihood of shared drinking
occasions. Further, when examining individual differences in
drinking patterns between friends, it was found that there were no
significant relationships between the subscales and discrepancies
in friends’ individual differences in alcohol use in terms of how
often, how much, or the number of days that the partner drank
alcohol (with or without the friend). These findings further
emphasize the complex nature of friendship and its association with
alcohol use in college. Further research should aim towards
developing a multidimensional friendship measure and longitudinal
studies that evaluate the relationship between friendship and
alcohol use in college.; College students – Alcohol use – United

▼ Many organisms, including plants, microbes and
invertebrates produce compounds called as natural products. The
production of natural products often confers some advantage to the
producing organism such as chemical defense from predators. Other
natural products can have a different role in the producing
organism such as preventing or limiting ultraviolet light damage
from the sun. Such sun screens are found in microalgae and vascular
plants. These natural products have been shown to display
cytotoxicity, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and
antiparasitic activity. Due to the biological activity shown by
many natural products, these molecules have been used in our
pharmacopia. Compounds like penicillin, isolated from a fungus, and
nonpharmaceutical compounds such as ginseng from green tea are
natural products used by humans to benefit human health. As the
investigation of natural products has resulted in a remarkable
number of compounds of benefit to humankind, the continued study of
secondary metabolism and natural products has and continues to be
of great importance. This thesis describes an investigation of the
secondary metabolites of selected marine fungi to identify
anti-microbial natural products as well as the UV protecting
compounds of the endangered sea grass Halophila johnsonii. Although
no novel compounds could be characterized from the marine fungi, a
collection of flavonoid derivatives was identified in Halophila
johnsonii.; Biological products, Extraction (Chemistry) , Marine

▼ This project describes the design and synthesis of new
compounds that are capable of targeting cells that express the
estrogen receptor and producing cytotoxic N3-methyladenine DNA
adducts in those cells. These compounds contain a reactive
methylsulfonate group connected to a unit that binds to DNA in the
minor groove at adenine-thymine rich regions, and therefore,
selectively methylates adenines in these regions at the N3
position. This component is connected by a linking unit to
estradiol, which binds to the estrogen receptor, and therefore, is
expected to selectively target these compounds to cells that
express the estrogen receptor. The linking unit is the only
variable component in the design, and can be altered in order to
optimize the DNA and estrogen receptor binding properties of the
compound, and to modulate the water solubility of the compounds.
The synthesis of three compounds varying in linker length by one,
two, and three methylene units is described.; Cell receptors, DNA

▼ Philip Pullman, an outspoken critic of Christianity,
has frequently voiced his desire to overturn the core elements of
the Fall; to break it down, tear it apart, and allow for a new
vision of the old story. In his trilogy consisting of three novels,
The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass,
(called collectively His Dark Materials), Philip Pullman creates a
universe in which consciousness (in the form of Dust) is dying.
This Dust can only be saved by a second Eve, a prepubescent girl
named Lyra, who will re-create the fall by being tempted into
knowledge. The original story of the Fall in Genesis essentially
creates unequal divisions between men and women; if Pullman’s
desire is to overturn what he perceives as Christianity’s
repressions, this essay investigates if Pullman has created equal
gender roles in his version of the Fall. By examining power and
rebellion of particularly female characters in His Dark Materials,
I conclude that Pullman has not made any significant progression
for female equality in his Fall, and that at the conclusion of the
trilogy, Lyra has conformed into a traditional Western female
gender role.; Pullman Philip 1946- The Amber Spyglass – Criticism

▼ Today's student has unprecedented access to media,
information, and even global interaction that was unheard of only a
few years ago. With all of the various media our students are
exposed to daily, engaging student learning in a traditional
classroom might prove challenging. The purpose of this study was to
determine whether or not a highly interactive, 3-D video game,
Dimension-M, can achieve the goal of not only positively
influencing middle school student achievement in mathematics, but
also positively influencing their attitude. In addition, this study
examined whether or not gender interacts to influence this
hypothesized impact on achievement and attitude. Cape Fear Middle
School created a mathematics remediation course called Virtual Math
for students who achieved below proficient levels on their state
end-of-grade mathematics exams. The Virtual Math class provided a
setting for the study. Achievement and attitude data was collected
for 21 girls and 8 boys in grades six through eight prior to their
exposure to the video game environment. Following a pre-test and
pre-attitude survey, students played the game?s Tutorial mission
and the Xeno Island mission, which addressed the concepts of prime
numbers, even and odd patterns, and perfect squares. Students
received no direct mathematics instruction during the treatment
period in order to test the impact of the game alone. Following the
treatment, a post-test and post-attitude survey were administered.
Students displayed a significant gain in achievement (t(27) =
-3.96, p < .05), but no significant differences were detected
between their pre- and post-attitude surveys. An interview with the
tutor assigned to the students, the school?s math coach, and the
principal of the school, indicated a positive impact on students?
mathematics performance in their regular math classes as well as a
positive impact on students? self-efficacy in mathematics. The
results of the study imply that Dimension-M can potentially have a
positive impact on student achievement and that students respond
enthusiastically to the Dimension-M environment.; Computer

▼ This thesis is a study of five works of short fiction
by author Joyce Carol Oates. One story, “Where Are You Going, Where
Have You Been,” is one of her best-known and often criticized,
while the other four, “Haunted,” “The Premonition,” and
“Extenuating Circumstances” are part of a lesser-known collection
entitled Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque. The similarity running
through all four stories is Oates’ use of the grotesque image in
her depiction of violence, and the implications about gender roles
found therein. Oates’ work is famous for its attention to violence
perpetrated by men upon women, and the first story includes such.
However, in the other three stories, the aggressor is female, and
her action seems to represent an inability to achieve or a
frustration with the feminine role; her violence is a grotesque
inversion of idealized femininity. The aim of this thesis is to
explore Oates’ treatment of gender and violence using elements of
the grotesque. While much criticism of Oates suggests that she uses
grotesque violence to bemoan the victimization of women, my
contention is that her treatment of gender reveals that, regardless
of sex, individuals who strive to conform to the prescribed gender
roles society presents to them are grotesque and problematic.;

▼ Decision-making research using the Iowa Gambling Task
(IGT) has uncovered gender differences in performance. Men’s scores
on the IGT are significantly higher than women’s scores. Previous
research established that reading Personal Moral dilemmas during
performance of the IGT increased women’s scores equal to that of
men. The proposed research looks to answer the questions; will
women’s performance increase when the Personal Moral dilemmas are
read prior to performing the IGT and will Non Moral dilemmas also
increase performance? Gender differences are eliminated in all
conditions. Women’s scores on the IGT are increased in all
conditions when dilemmas are read prior to the IGT.; Decision

▼ The notion of authorship has undergone many changes
from the Middle Ages until today. The demand for originality raises
questions what authorship and the legitimate use of source
materials in writing are. Plagiarism is often suspected when it
seems that a writer abused the materials that helped shape the work
of literature. The development of technologies such as the World
Wide Web and hypertext casts a new light on the problem of
authorship and plagiarism and questions the roles of writers and
readers in the creation of a text. This thesis explores the notions
of authorship, originality, creativity, and plagiarism within a
case study of Jack London’s role in creation of his novel The Call
of the Wild.; Authorship in literature, Plagiarism, Originality in

▼ The Peninsular War of 1808 to 1814 remains unique in
Napoleonic History. On canvas, Francisco Goya painted its
brutality. Napoleon blamed it for his defeat. Historians assent to
both assessments with passing references to the guerrilla
conflict’s terrible nature and its negative effect upon the French.
Commonly, these brief references turn on such points as the
harassing effect of guerrillas upon strung out forces in Spain, the
difficulty of foraging for the French, the allied intelligence
advantage and finally the notoriously low morale of the French army
of occupation. These brief comments on the guerrilla war are,
however, buried in the traditional histories of campaigns and
generals, of Bailens and Salamancas, of Wellingtons and Soults.
Peninsular historiography is almost totally devoid of any
information about how French soldiers themselves regarded the
guerrilla conflict. By and large, this human element is ignored.
This oversight leaves important questions unanswered: How did the
French and imperial troops experience the guerrilla war? What
exactly did poor morale mean for a soldier who suffered from its
effects? Many memoirs of imperial veterans specifically center on
the Spanish conflict and provide excellent material with which to
illustrate the experience of guerrilla war. By looking into the
accounts left by soldiers of all ranks, this work will show how for
the troops charged with the conquest and occupation of Spain and
Portugal, poor morale created a complex weave of isolation,
frustration, and exhaustion that affected their ability to perform
their duties.; Peninsular War 1807-1814 – Campaigns – Spain,

▼ As part of the Rutgers Health and Human Development
Project, White & Labouvie (1989) developed and published the
Rutgers Alcohol Problem Index (RAPI). They cited a need for a valid
and reliable means of assessment of adolescents experiencing
problem drinking patterns, and thus at risk for future alcohol use
disorders. The twenty-three item measure was reported to screen
accurately for adolescents that reported experiencing negative
consequence of alcohol use and would benefit from further
intervention. Since the time of the initial publication, the RAPI
has become a common tool in both clinical and research settings.
The acceptance of the RAPI as a unidimensional measure of negative
consequence of alcohol use appears to have been relatively
unchecked beyond the initial report. The lack of rigorous follow-up
on the RAPI is disturbing in light of its wide use in adolescent,
young adult and alcohol literature. The present study was designed
to investigate the factor structure reported in the original paper,
using a sample selected to remove variance associated with both age
and gender. A sample comprised of college-aged males who have
reported a history of alcohol use was targeted. Exploratory Factor
Analyses with a subsequent Confirmatory Factor analysis were
conducted on the 23-items or the RAPI. Additionally, a proposed
nomenclature of factored items was discussed to support continued
investigation of the psychometrics of the RAPI. Post-Hoc analysis
were used to test alternative hypothesis of item responses between
participants who reported experiencing no current and past alcohol
use problems verses participants who did report current and past
problems due to alcohol use. Difference testing of item responses
was used to identify items which discriminate between those
reporting no current or past problems and those that do report
positive alcohol use problems. Discussion of the significance of
items that were found to discriminate between types of drinkers and
the usefulness of these items within the RAPI will be addressed.;

▼ Currently, national, state, and local institutions
strive to promote the success of subgroups of learners. This close
attention to specific student characteristics emphasizes individual
needs rather than a single educational program for all students.
Education administrators and classroom educators must make
themselves aware of factors that lead to and perpetuate
discrepancies among the successes of learners, as well as any
intervention strategies that may compensate for issues that are
prevalent at a local site. This study considers the history of
education that poses today’s dilemma of serving all students by
addressing individual needs. It also explores the organization
within local schools, Student Support Team, that is capable of
brokering appropriate services for students at the site. The thesis
examines the data generated from interviews and articles to
determine the most effective components of several models. The
thesis proposes a program design blending these characteristics and
the requirements of No Child Left Behind legislation as well as an
evaluation instrument for the program.; Academic

▼ Numerous studies have been conducted on caffeine and
its stimulant effects. However, studies that have been conducted to
examine the effects of caffeine on alertness and memory have
produced conflicting results. Several factors may be critical in
explaining these mixed results, one of them being dose level. Past
research has shown that performance improved with low doses of
caffeine but higher doses of caffeine hindered performance on
mental rotation. The purpose of the present study was to test the
effects of caffeine under conditions that are better controlled
than previous studies to determine its dose-related effects on a
mental rotation task and a paired-word verbal memory task. Low
levels of caffeine were predicted to improve performance on the
Mental Rotation and Verbal Short-Term Memory tasks and higher doses
to produce a decrement in performance on these tasks. “Average”
caffeine consumers were recruited with a screening survey. Subjects
were administered caffeine in capsules (0mg/kg, 1mg/kg, 2mg/kg
& 3mg/kg in capsules or 0mg/kg or 2mg/kg caffeine in a
decaffeinated cup of coffee). Procedural variables were controlled
for that many past studies have failed to control for, such as
caffeine dose, participant’s weight, participant’s caffeine use
frequency, participant’s drug use history, time of day effects,
influence that food consumption may have on caffeine, gender
effects and withdrawal effects. The results showed that there were
no significant differences in performance between the dose groups.
But when a cup of coffee condition was added, performance for
subjects given both decaffeinated coffee and caffeine coffee was
significantly better, or showed a trend for better performance, on
the mental rotation task and the paired-word task than did the
capsule conditions. The results also agreed with past research that
males performed significantly better than females on the mental
rotation and that females performed better on the task of verbal
memory.; Behavior – Drug effects, Brain – Effect of drugs on,

▼ In this study, we analyzed the relationship between
the exchange rate movements of two countries, Chile and the United
States, by studying the underlying fundamentals given by the modern
exchange rate theory. In this context, we included in our
regression analysis three main economic factors. Monetary policy
interest rate, money supply and inflation rates were considered for
both countries since January 1990. We also included a fourth
variable in our model; Copper Price. The evolution of this
commodity’s price played an important role in our study as we will
discover that a significant portion in exchange rates variation is
explained by this variable. Copper was considered because of the
increasing importance of this commodity in the Chilean economy. The
results show that the determinants of the exchange rate may vary
over time. The independent variables that have an effect on the
exchange rate may lose their explanatory power when economic
conditions change or a switch in the foreign exchange rate policy
dictated by central banks or, as we proved, when variations on
certain markets takes place.; Devaluation of currency – Chile,

▼ Previous literature has done little to bring together
accounts of stimulus equivalence, the transfer of function among
stimulus classes, and age-related changes associated with the
creation of stimulus classes. This experiment explores these ideas
using two participant groups, one consisting of younger adults and
one consisting of adult volunteers over the age of 65. Participants
were given training using nonsense syllables and eight sets of
abstract stimuli. The stimuli differed on a number of features,
four of which were class-consistent. Each stimulus contained a
combination of one, two, three, or four of the class-consistent
features, and the number of class-consistent features was used to
identify the typicality of the stimulus within each class. Upon
completion of the equivalence training and testing procedure, each
participant was told that one of the stimuli from training carried
a disease that infects 50% of the animals or plants with which it
comes into contact. Participants were then shown a series of
stimuli from the testing phase of the equivalence procedure and
asked to rate how likely each of these stimuli were to also infect
plants or animals. Ratings from this phase determined the transfer
of function within the stimulus classes created during the
equivalence training procedure. Results showed that older adults
need more training trials to master baseline criterion levels than
younger adults did, but both groups demonstrated the formation of
equivalence classes and typicality effects within those classes.
Further, both groups also demonstrated transfer of function within
the equivalence classes that was related to the typicality rating
of each stimulus within a class.; Ageism Categorization

▼ The gauge independent atomic orbital (GIAO)
Hartree-Fock (HF) technique with a 6-31 G(d, p) basis set was used
to calculate the isotropic NMR shielding values of a diatomic
hydrogen probe above a set of unsaturated 5-membered heterocyclic
aromatic compounds and their benzo- analogs. It has been shown that
this technique produced results indicating substantial shielding of
the probe over the center of aromatic rings. The current study was
conducted to determine if the computed shielding of a diatomic H2
probe is related quantitatively to the extent of aromaticity.
Aromaticity is a chemical property in which a conjugated ring of
unsaturated bonds, lone pairs of electrons or empty orbitals
exhibits a stabilization due to conjugation alone. Aromaticity is
both a qualitative and quantitative concept. The qualitative
aspect, which is the method for identifying a molecule or species
as either aromatic, non-aromatic or anti-aromatic, is soundly
understood, but the quantitative aspect of aromaticity is less well
defined. There are several established methods for measuring
aromaticity quantitatively but they are only loosely correlated.
This study’s method (?s) for calculations done over the
fivemembered rings correlated well with Cyransky’s published data
of ASE, ?, NICS(0), NICS(1) and HOMA calculations to yield
correlation coefficients of 0.64, 0.49, 0.66, 0.88 and 0.69,
respectively. This study’s method (?s) with calculations done over
the heterocyclic ring portion of the benzo-analogs yielded a
correlation coefficient of 0.67 when matched with Bird’s published
ASE data.; Nuclear magnetic resonance, Aromaticity (Chemistry),

▼ While the only two recognized marine species flocks,
the Pacific rockfishes and Antarctic icefishes, show marked
morphological distinctions coupled with obscure genetic
relationships due to their rapid radiation, the diversification of
these flocks is believed to be very ancient (several millions of
years before present). In contrast, the hamlets, Caribbean reef
fishes of the genus Hypoplectrus (Serranidae), though highly
differentiated with respect to their color patterns, do not show
monophyletic relationships in mtDNA sequences and are monomorphic
in several allozyme loci. Field observations show that mating is
strongly assortative with regard to color pattern in sympatric
Hypoplectrus species in reefs off Panama and Jamaica. In order to
determine the strength of assortative mating and genetic
differentiation in natural populations of the previously unstudied
Florida Keys Hypoplectrus species, field surveys were conducted at
several reefs and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms were
assayed in DNA of specimens collected at the study sites. Hamlet
populations in the Upper and Middle Keys were composed mainly of
blue (H. gemma, 23%) and butter (H. unicolor, 63%) hamlets, with
black (H. nigricans) and barred (H. puella) hamlets present at low
frequencies. Observation of 68 mating pairs suggested very strong
assortative mating, with only mixed pair witnessed. Genetic
distances between blue and butter hamlets, estimated from band
sharing indeces based on 1108 DNA fragments, resulted in random
clustering of individuals, with no monophyly according to color
patterns. One AFLP fragment, however, showed strong frequency
differences between the two morphospecies. This marker, coupled
with the strong assortative mating observed, was regarded as
evidence of partial reproductive isolation between H. gemma and H.
unicolor. The lack of overall genomic differentiation thus
suggested that the radiation of the 11 morphospecies of
Hypoplectrus was recent and did not yet reflect species boundaries.
The hamlet radiation is a unique example of marine incipient
speciation.; Coral reef ecology, Coral reef fishes – Morphology –

▼ In 1996, the Interstate School Leaders Licensure
Consortium (ISLLC) developed their Standards for School Leaders for
what they describe as those topics that formed the heart and soul
of effective leadership. Seventeen states and the District of
Columbia now require a licensure exam for all new administrators
based on these standards of leadership. The purpose of this pilot
study was to establish the feasibility and usefulness of the
research model and data collection instruments for a future larger
study to test the prevailing assumption that school administrators
who adhere to the ISLLC Standards will have academically successful
schools as determined by federally approved state standardized
testing. Data regarding the academic performance of three middle
schools was collected from
North Carolina ABCs school report cards,
and No Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress statistics.
School Improvement Plans were reviewed for evidence relating to the
ISLLC Standards, principals and teachers were surveyed regarding
administrator attitudes and assumptions concerning the ISLLC
Standards, and the administrators’ activities as they related to
the ISLLC Standards were observed and recorded during a school day.
It is apparent as a result of this pilot study that the research
model proved sound and that professional standards such as those
articulated by ISLLC may have an affect on student achievement.
But, one must also take into account the socio-economics of the
school system, students, and community when determining the impact
of professional standards on academic performance.; Educational

▼ Seductive details are interesting but irrelevant
details added to a passage to make it more interesting, and
research indicates that such details impair learning and recall of
information. Seductive details have traditionally included
illustrations, facts, names, and examples, but the effects of boxed
material in textbooks have yet to be studied. If seductive details
impede normal readers, they may have particularly adverse affects
on students with serious reading problems, such as those with
learning disabilities (LD) or attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD). The present study examined the effects of boxed
material on recall for both “Normal Control” (NC) and “Attentional
Deficit” (AD) participants, who each read one of two versions of a
text passage entitled “People with Severe and Multiple
Disabilities.” The “Original Text” (OT) version contained
extraneous information and illustrations, set apart from the rest
of the text, as they appear in the textbook Human Exceptionality:
Society, School, and Family (Hardman, Drew, & Egan, 1999). The
“Modified Text” (MT) version presented this information imbedded in
the text and illustrations and “Focus” questions from the margins
were eliminated. The Wender Utah Rating Scale, the Beck Depression
Inventory, and a Personal History Questionnaire were administered,
and students completed a 45-question multiple choice quiz on the
passage material and a series of post-study questions. Results
indicate that all readers performed significantly better on text
information (TI) questions than on boxed information (BI)
questions. Clearly contrary to prediction, however, AD participants
performed better, on average, than did NC participants, with the
effect nearly reaching significance. In addition, questionnaire
data indicated that NC and AD participants did not rate
significantly differently on either passage clarity or content; AD
participants generally find information presented inside boxes in
textbooks to be significantly more helpful than do NC participants;
and AD participants read the preface and/or “Information for
Students” at the beginning of a textbook significantly less often
than do NC participants.; English language – Study and teaching

were studied to determine the correlation between the variables by
using a reading attitude survey. Prior research suggests that a
positive correlation between attitude and ability. The research
hypothesis stated that there would be a positive correlation
between attitude and ability. Twenty-nine fifth-grade students from
four classrooms were used as the subjects of the study. All were
classified into ability subgroups based on two ability variables.
First the students were grouped by their identification in the
Academically and Intellectually Gifted program at the school. The
second set of subgroups was based upon the students previous years
end of grade test score. The students were administered the
Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (McKenna and Kear, 1990). No
correlation between attitude and ability was identified. Therefore,
it is tentatively concluded that ability does not have an effect on

▼ Considering the context of Le Morte Darthur, we may
find it difficult to believe that Thomas Malory could have been
much of a feminist; and yet, he manages to construct some of the
most powerful feminine literary characters of his time. Arrested on
charges of rape, Malory spent years in and out of jail, gaining
himself a reputation as a scoundrel. His magnum opus, based in the
older written tales of Arthurian legend, would seem to provide
Malory’s fictional chauvinists a safe haven for their shenanigans.
Characters like Sirs Lancelot and Palomides have free rein through
Arthur’s Camelot – until, of course, the fateful battle on
Salisbury Plain. However, Malory gives his female characters ample
room to manipulate circumstances – this is especially true of
characters like Queen Guinevere, who enjoys a powerful central
role, making her a key to understanding the text itself. The thesis
explores the importance of Guinevere, focusing both on the power
dynamic and on the Queen’s position as an intrinsic figure in
understanding Malory’s structural technique. In Malory’s
construction, the narrative structure of Le Morte Darthur reflects
the shifting power structure of Camelot and the Round Table.
Arthur’s supremacy is superficial only; once Guinevere appears as a
strong, capable woman, she becomes the power behind the throne and
the force that moves the story. Since her siphoning off of power
undercuts Arthur’s role as king, her position produces a fatal
instability in Camelot’s dynamic. Guinevere’s rise means that
Arthur’s fall is inevitable.; Arthurian romances , Guenevere, Queen

in the bacterial genus Planctomycetes. Since this initial finding,
anammox bacteria have been detected in anoxic marine sediments,
oxygen minimum zones of the oceanic water column, estuaries, arctic
sea ice, and even a freshwater lake. Activity measurements have
further revealed that these bacteria can contribute significantly
to the nitrogen removal process. This chemolithotrophic process is
a new loop in the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle that was previously
unknown. Prior to the discovery of anammox, denitrification was
considered to be the only process responsible for nitrogen removal
via N2 gas production. Little is known about the genetics, ecology,
and physiology of this organism. Therefore, this study was an
attempt to gain better understanding in the community structure of
anammox bacteria and their activity related to environmental
parameters such as, ammonium, nitrate, and salinity levels. The
Cape Fear River Estuary was chosen as the study site. A combination
of molecular tools and stable isotope probing technique was
employed to study anammox bacteria in the Cape Fear River Estuary.
Anammox bacteria were identified at all three sampling sites, and
each site had distinct community structure. Salinity and ammonium
levels were positively correlated with diversity. Although, no
correlation could be established between environmental parameters
and activity levels, there did seem to be a link between community
structure and activity levels.; Bacteria

▼ Coastal marshes are critical natural resources that
provide economic and social benefits. Continued existence of marsh
habitat depends on its ability to maintain elevation relative to
sea level. Currently, several anthropogenic practices are
disrupting the natural processes of marsh accretion in back barrier
systems by limiting sediment inputs. This study investigates if the
addition of dredged material to sediment-starved marshes can offset
submergence without negatively impacting function. The experiment
was conducted in marshes behind Masonboro Island, NC and consisted
of deteriorated and non-deteriorated sites each of which were
covered by a wedge of fill sediment ranging in thickness from 0 to
10 cm. Original stem densities were greater in nondeteriorated
sites (256 g/m2) than densities in deteriorated sties (149 g/m2).
By the second growing season, stem densities in the deteriorated
sites (308 g/m2) approached levels in the non-deteriorated sites
(336 g/m2). Sediment additions to both nondeteriorated and
deteriorated sites resulted in a higher oxygen potential with sites
receiving the most sediment exhibiting the highest eH values.
Sediment traps indicated that mean deposition rates in
non-deteriorated sites (62 g/m2) were significantly lower than in
deteriorated sites (161 g/m2). Throughout the study, deposition
rates in the treated deteriorated and non-deteriorated sites have
converged, which is likely a result of soupy sediments associated
with deteriorated sites becoming increasingly stabilized over time.
Organic content of deposited sediments was originally lower in
deteriorated sites when compared to non-deteriorated sites. Over
the duration of the study, however, the organic content of
materials retained in deteriorated sites increased, thus,
corroborating other data indicating that sediment placement
improved overall marsh conditions. Grain size of the surficial
sediments has become finer over time as initial fill material has
taken on sedimentological attributes of pre-fill marsh sediments.
In deteriorated marshes, placement of dredged material has had the
greatest effect on plant density, but has also affected soil redox
and sediment deposition (mobility). Sediment addition had little
impact on the non-deteriorated sites, thus indicating that the
disposal of certain types of dredged material in marshes may be
used to mitigate the effects of marsh degradation without adversely
affecting non-deteriorating marsh.; Dredging spoil – Effect of

▼ Phospholipids are fundamental components of all
biological membranes. They form the lipid bilayer of the membrane,
and their structure is a major determinant in the structure and
function of cell membranes. Two synthetic pathways to phospholipid
analogs are explored in this work. First, a synthetic pathway
starting from glycidol to ultraviolet active diacylglycerides
(DAGs) that that have sn-1 and sn-2 ester-linked fatty acids and a
chromophore at sn-3 was developed. These DAG derivatives could
serve as standards to elucidate the structures of natural
phospholipid derivatives. Second, a synthetic pathway to a tethered
phospholipid analog with a fluorophore anchored between the sn-1
alkyl chains was developed. This type of lipid analog could serve
as a probe to study molecular interactions within the membrane.;

▼ This research had two objectives. The first was to
examine the effect of mood on decision-making using a novel
induction procedure. The second was to assess whether an
individual?s personal history moderates those mood effects. The
mood induction procedure involved having participants listen to an
audiotape depicting a fictional 911 call of either a domestic
violence disturbance or a bar fight. Participants then completed
four decision-making tasks, and their performance was compared to a
no-induction control group. The influence of personal experience
was examined by comparing the performance of participants with and
without a history of domestic violence. Both the mood induction
manipulation and prior experience with domestic violence were
expected to result in riskier decision-making. Moreover, the two
factors were expected to interact, such that victims show the
greatest deficits in the domestic violence induction condition. The
results revealed some limited evidence that non-victims exposed to
the domestic disturbance audiotape demonstrated higher levels of
risktaking behavior. Contrary to the aforementioned predictions,
domestic violence victims demonstrated a tendency towards risk
aversion, and the relevant induction procedure seemed to exacerbate
their cautious behavior. Correlations between the various
decision-making tasks were generally low supporting the idea that
decision-making is a multifaceted construct. Explanations for the
main findings, as well as their theoretical and practical
implications, are explored more fully in the General Discussion.;

▼ Concerns about low dissolved oxygen levels in New
Hanover County,
North Carolina tidal creeks resulted in a study
measuring rates of oxygen loss as water-column biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD5) and sediment oxygen demand (SOD). Selected tidal
creek sites were sampled monthly from July 2001 to August 2002 in
collaboration with the New Hanover County Tidal Creeks monitoring
project to identify any trends that may be evident concerning rates
of oxygen loss. BOD5 rates ranged from 0.0 to 7.6 mg l-1 and were
strongly correlated with chlorophyll a measurements. This indicates
that conditions leading to algal blooms have the potential to cause
increased BOD and thus contribute to hypoxia in tidal creeks. SOD
rates ranged from –1.5 to 6.3 g O2 m-2 d-1. Both rates of oxygen
uptake were seasonally dependent. Oxygen loss to sediments was
greater and more variable than oxygen loss in the water column,
indicating that SOD should be considered in all comprehensive water
quality monitoring programs. Results indicate that sediment
composition and the bioavailability of organic matter may be key
elements in determining SOD. On-land processes that increase
sedimentation of organic material may contribute to creek hypoxia
incidents. Groundwater inputs decreased SOD rates at selected
sites, thus recharge areas may be critical to tidal creek health.
Correlation and principal component analyses were conducted using
SAS statistical software to assess the effects of numerous
variables on oxygen demand. The results suggest that BOD5 responds
to a suite of environmental variables including temperature,
salinity, chlorophyll a, total and organic suspended solids and
rainfall while SOD responds to salinity and nutrients.;

▼ Tidal creeks are deteriorating more each day as a
consequence of increased pollution caused by a boom in
urbanization, which has intensified the anthropogenic impact on
these ecosystems. These systems are subject to anthropogenic
pollutants such as nutrients, pesticides, and fecal bacteria, which
can cause loss of habitat, anoxia, and shellfish bed closures. In
2001, 13,410 recreational area closings and advisories were issued
nationwide. Nearly 90% of these were due to the level of fecal
coliform bacteria in the water. The standard method for fecal
coliform pollution measurement enumerates, but does not distinguish
between sources. Using standard methods for fecal coliform bacteria
enumeration, and molecular methods of PCR and T-RFLP for bacterial
source tracking using the genera Bacteroides as a target, it was
possible to identify areas with high level of fecal coliform
bacteria pollution as well as distinguish between human, canine and
ruminant sources. Of the 54 samples, less than 23% were positive
for canine fecal bacteria DNA by PCR, indicating fairly successful
domestic animal waste management. Ruminant sources were found in 12
of the 54 PCR samples, mainly in the upstream sampling areas and
near a known horse farm. Human fecal bacteria DNA was found in 18%
of the PCR samples. T-RFLP produced 40 peaks, each corresponding to
a bacterial taxon. Using the MiCA T-RFLP PAT+, it was possible to
identify 13 of the 40 peaks, 11 of which were human-specific The
presence of human-specific DNA is of particular concern. New
Hanover County has been plagued with sewer-system failures. The
presence of human-borne Bacteroides DNA is indicative of either
continued sewer-line problems, septic system failures, or a general
persistence in the bacteria itself.; Bacterial pollution of
