Putting family first as a boundary management tactic
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021-01)Purpose – The authors examine a boundary management tactic for managing the work–family interface: putting family first (PFF). PFF is a boundary management tactic defined as the voluntary behavior of intentionally putting ... -
A two-study examination of work-family conflict, production deviance and gender.
(Elsevier, 2012)Building on the spillover and crossover literatures of work–family conflict and the theoretical framework of Conservation of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, 1989)we examine the effects of conflict on production deviance. Using ... -
With a little help from my (her) friends: The role of friend support on the negative effects of work engagement for married couples
(Elsevier, 2021-01-29)In this study, we examine an employee’s personal social support received from friends and how it may benefit not only that employee, but also her or his spouse. By examining this unique source of support, we contribute to ... -
The slave code of Texas.

Approaches to understanding the cumulative effects of stressors on marine mammals.
(2020-12-03)In 2017, The National Academy of Sciences reported on the approaches to understanding the cumulative effects of stressors on marine mammals and suggested the use of baleen whale earplugs to evaluate both stress and stressors. ... -
Efforts toward an enantioselective total synthesis of (–)-oxazolomycin B and simplified chemical probes for proteomics studies; pharmacophore-directed retrosynthesis applied to gracilin A : simplified bioactive derivatives.
(2020-11-20)The oxazolomycins are bioactive peptide-polyketide hybrid natural products first isolated in 1985 by Uemura and co-workers from Streptomyces bacteria. Their complex structure and wide-ranging bioactivity against various ... -
Assessing precision and application of marker placement device to enhance motion capture studies.
(2020-11-13)Motion capture has become an important clinical tool used in applications of therapy and treatment plans as well as surgical evaluations. However, due to factors such as human error, having multiple examiners, and using ... -
Stochastic computing & stochastic resonance in digital & analog neuromorphic systems.
(2020-11-17)Stochastic computing is an alternative method to standard deterministic methods. This thesis explores stochastic resonance in a spiking neuron, and leverages the effects it has to implement stochastic computing in an analog ... -
Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic design of small unmanned aircraft system propellers at low Reynolds numbers.
(2020-11-19)The Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) has become an overwhelmingly important asset for military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in addition to a multitude of needs in the commercial industry. More research ... -
Evaluation of structural behavior using constituent material properties and finite element analysis for large format fiber reinforced composites made from recycled polymers.
(2020-12-03)Recycling of polymers is of great interest to society with industry and government focusing on new applications to reduce waste generation. Most polymers have low modulus and strength compared to metals, and based on the ... -
Artificial materials and the Zenneck surface wave.
(2020-11-23)Spatial control of electromagnetic energy has, and will continue to be, one of the preeminent factors in any electromagnetic design. This control is made possible by energy storage, which in turn comes about as a result ... -
Development of an optical cavity-based biosensor for point-of-care diagnostics.
(2020-11-02)An optical cavity-based biosensor (OCB) has been developed using a differential detection method towards point-of-care (POC) diagnostic applications. The optical cavity consisting of two partially reflective surfaces with ... -
Ideation, validity, and practicality of using virtual reality to conduct the Wolf Motor Function Test for upper limb stroke patients.
(2020-11-13)In this study, 11 subjects between the ages of 19 and 35 years old performed tasks selected from the official Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) – Hand to Table, Hand to Box, and Lift Can. Subjects performed the tasks in ... -
Investigating the impact of interacting with real world objects in virtual environments.
(2020-11-19)Virtual reality (VR) systems allow users to be fully immersed in a virtual world. Incorporating physical objects such as stairs in to virtual reality could provide better immersion and create new uses for these systems. ... -
Convection measurements in scale models of additively manufactured turbine blade cooling passages.
(2020-11-12)High pressure gas-turbine blades and components are typically constructed with interior cooling air passages. Additive manufacturing processes, such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), enable creation of novel turbine ... -
Child care affordability moderates the association between work-schedule flexibility and quality of life in working mothers of young children.
(2020-11-06)Research indicates that working mothers of young children are at a heightened risk for negative outcomes resulting from work-family conflict. This study examined the associations between work-schedule flexibility, child ... -
The Americanization of Italians in Thurber, Texas, 1880-1920.
(2020-12-03)Italian families arrived in Thurber, Texas, at the beginning of the twentieth century, fleeing conditions of extreme poverty and high rates of unemployment in Italy. They responded to the American demand for low-cost ... -
Quality of life assessment in a weight loss intervention.
(2020-11-09)This study evaluated whether there was a difference in quality of life scores at the end of an intervention that evaluated the effect of leucine supplementation and calorie-restricted diet over a 12-week period in mid-life ... -
Constructing a nectar delivery system for mosquito control using Impatiens walleriana.
(2020-11-18)Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous human pathogens. These pathogens are spread when female mosquitoes blood feed to lay eggs. Since males do not feed on blood and females mostly need blood to produce eggs, both consume ... -
Tyro : a first step towards automatically generating parallel programs from sequential programs.
(2020-11-03)Currently, MapReduce is used as the standard for automatic parallelization of programs. However, MapReduce restricts programs to a simple framework with limited parallelism but still requires the user to understand parallelism ...
