The lived experience of male intimate partners of female rape victims in Cape Town, South Africa
… and acrosscase approach, as suggested by Ayres, Kavanaugh and Knafl (2003:873), functioned to supplement Ricoeur‘s method (Speziale & Carpenter, 2003:58-64).

The effects of frame-of-reference and rater error training on the accuracy of performance appraisals: utilizing an aptitude-treatment approach
… more than rater error training (e.g. Hedge & Kavanaugh, 1988). Frame-of-reference training facilitates the learning of accurate performance standards (e.g. Athey & McIntyre, 1987), while rater error training results in the introduction of biased response sets (e.g. Bernardin & Fence, 1980). …

Investigating the relationships between biotic and abiotic factors affecting migratory behavior in Westslope Cutthroat Trout within the Priest River System
… that produced low migratory proportions (Benton, Kavanaugh, Uleda, and Keokee Creeks). In each of the eight tributaries, fish density was collected using multi-pass depletion estimates. Additionally, stream temperature and flow velocity were measured separately. With the use of a generalized …

Quantification of Parameters in Models for Contaminant Dissolution and Desorption in Groundwater
… within a vertically-smeared source zone (Kavanaugh, 2010). The findings suggest that the inversion technique, when provided appropriate characterization of site and source parameters and when given appropriate dataset resolution, represents a viable method for parameter determination. …

Comparison of Motivational Factors Between Japanese and United States High School Students
<p>Spanning multiple subjects and age groups, U.S. students rate poorly while Japanese students rate highly when subject to international testing. Japanese children complete twice as much homework as their U.S. counterparts and sometimes attend school on Saturdays. The literature review looks at …

Dynamics of vacuum-sealed, double-leaf partitions
The goal of this research is to investigate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of using vacuum-sealed, double-leaf partitions for applications in noise control. Substantial work has been done previously on double-leaf partitions where the acoustics of the inner chamber and mechanical …

Gonadotropin releasing hormone in agnathans
<p>Hagfish and lampreys are the only two representatives of Agnathans among extant vertebrates. The regulatory hypothalamic neurohormone, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), regulates reproduction in all vertebrates through the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Most vertebrates have at least …

Acute Effects of Whole-Body Vibration on 30 Meter Fly Sprint Performance in NCAA Division I Sprinters and Jumpers.
<p>The purpose of this study was to identify a potentiation effect on 30 meter (m) fly sprint performance in collegiate sprinters and jumpers (M=21, W=5) following an acute bout of whole-body vibration. The WBV protocol consisted of one 30 second bout at 50 Hz, ~3 mm amplitude, and 60 seconds rest …

Use of Comparative Genomics for Non-coding Rna Prediction and Investigation of Dna Introgression in Yeast
The rapid development of large-scale genomic sequencing has dramatically changed the field of genetics, in part through the development of comparative genomics. Fungal comparative genomics is particularly powerful given the large number of genomes currently available, their compact architecture, …

Comparison of Semi-Captive and Wild Gray-Shanked Douc Langurs’ (Pygathrix Cinerea) Activity Budgets
From 16-10-03 to 16-12-03 I studied four male gray-shanked Douc (GSD) langurs (<em>Pygathrix cinerea</em>) in a semi-captive environment and compared results to wild GSD langurs that were studied from 2006-2008. The semi-captive GSD langurs live at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC) in Cúc …

The reactivity and cation exchange of MOF-5
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the inorganic clusters within MOF-5 can be derivatized with redox-active cations for subsequent use in coordination chemistry and small-molecule activation. Rather than reproduce known metal species, this work harnesses the intrinsic properties of the …

Impacts of mucins on microbial physiology and interactions
The human body is colonized by trillions of microbes known collectively as the microbiota. Many of these organisms inhabit mucosal surfaces, with most found in the large intestines, but many also dwell in the respiratory and urogenital tracts. Despite the enormous microbial population inhabiting …

Inhibition of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans using antibiotics and antibacterial substances
Laboratory experiments were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of antibacterial substances and antibiotics against Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, the organisms responsible for bacterial mediated acidic mine drainage. Twenty two antibiotics (obtained from Lilly and Co.) and two antibacterial …

Skeletal Muscle Acetylation in Response to an Acute and Chronic High-Fat Diet
The past thirty years have seen a dramatic rise in obesity worldwide owing to a change in dietary composition, quantity of food consumed- positive energy balance, and a more sedentary life style. Accompanied with obesity is a chronic low grade inflammatory state defined by increased circulating …

A genetic basis for life history differences among populations of the midge, Chironomus riparius (Diptera:Chironomidae)
Laboratory and field experiments were conducted with six populations of Chironomus riparius to test for variation among the populations in life history parameters such as growth. mortality and/or reproductive rates. Egg masses of C. riparius from five field populations and one laboratory population …

The role of institutional autonomy in telecommunications planning and development: a comparative case study
This is a comparative case study of the relationship between telecommunications decision-making and sector development. It employs a resource dependence model of organizational decision making (Pfeffer and Salancik 1978; Cohen, Grindle and Walker 1985) to explain the development of voice …

Investigation of bacterial populations in a biological nutrient removal system
Bacterial populations proliferating in a pilot scale biological nutrient removal system (BNR) were studied. The objective of the research was to develop media and methods to identify bacterial populations in BNR systems. Samples were obtained from the last aerobic zone of a University of Cape Town …
