Conceptual clarification of the structure of social support.
… perspective as a descriptive guide for the concept, structure; one of the three less abstract representations of social support. Social comparison theory provided the guiding framework for interpretation of how structure relates to help-seeking behavior. Data from the Self-Help Intervention …

The Lived Experiences of African American Women with Breast Cancer: Implications for Counselors
… lived experiences of individuals experiencing a concept, structure, or phenomenon (Creswell, 2007). The purpose of phenomenological research is to identify phenomena as perceived by the individual. Utilizing an existential perspective, the focus of this study was to uncover meaning which defined …

A panelized roof system for residential construction : development, application, and evaluation
… Although the system had been 'developed conceptually and even applied to a proof-of-concept structure prior to the involvement of this author, much of the detailed analysis and investigation had been left undone. This thesis carefully examines the roof system in terms of its structural …

The design of a panelized roof system for residential construction
… Mock-ups, models and a full scale proof-of-concept structure were built. These constructions were used as learning tools during design and to demonstrate and evaluate the performance of the roof system design.

Using content and process scaffolds for collaborative discourse in asynchronous learning networks
… in large courses, discourse needs to be 'structured' to be effective. Historically, technology-mediated learning (TML) research has been inconclusive with often conflicting results. To address this issue, TML research needs greater breadth and depth in pedagogical grounding. The purpose of …
