The first paper of this two-manuscript dissertation proposes a model of second language reading, positing factors of L1 reading ability, L2 language knowledge, background knowledge, and reading comprehension strategies. The proposed model illustrates and predicts how these four factors shift in their influence on readi...

Antigen-specific CD4+T cells in Anaplasma marginale infection of calves

Han, Sushan

Acquired T-cell immunity is central for protection against intracellular infection. However, the role of antigen-specific T cells in persistent systemic disease is poorly understood. We investigated this with the ruminant bacterium Anaplasma marginale, which replicates to 109 bacteria/ml of blood during acute infection...

Licensing and fluency of sacrosanct experience recall

Raska, David

This dissertation advances the notion that when consumers recall their past sacrosanct experiences (i.e., experiences portraying the self as moral, lovable, and capable), they affirm themselves of their positive self-concept and subsequently feel licensed to self-indulge. Building on research in accessibility experienc...

Complex averages of particle quantities and equations of balance

Kouznetsov, Andrei

We study a new complex continuum quantity Q[tau][eta](t; x, z) and its applications for efficient particle system simulation. Function Q[eta](t; x, z) is constructed using both velocities and positions of particles. It carries more information than the standard quantities density, linear momentum, and kinetic energy, a...

A study of p-variation and the p-Laplacian for 0 < p ≤ 1 and finite hyperplane traversal algorithms for signal processing

Van Dyke, Heather A.

where Ω ⊂ Rn is an open bounded convex set. We find fast algorithms that find minimizers for the p = 1 problem and local minimizers for the p < 1 problem. Our algorithms solve the minimization problem for p = 1 for all λ at the computational cost of solving only the λ = 0 problem. We also find and characterize the set...
