Predictors of Intraindividual Change in Personality and Well -Being
… equation models of latent growth curves (see McArdle, 1989; in press) were used to estimate rates of change in extraversion, neuroticism, life satisfaction, work satisfaction, marital satisfaction, and meaning in life over time. Increased work satisfaction predicted increased life satisfaction …

Examining interpersonal and cognitive factors associated with adolescent depressive symptomatology: a comparison of clinically depressed, subsyndromal, and normal control youth
… health problem (Leon et al., 1993; Prosser & McArdle, 1996). Although much is known about depression in youth, the subclinically depressed population is not yet well understood. The current study is an exploratory investigation that seeks to provide a clearer picture of subclinical depression …

Comparison of Event History Analysis and Latent Growth Modeling for College Student Perseverance
… known as latent variable growth modeling (McArdle, 1988; Meredith & Tisak, 1990), which can provide a more robust framework. Whether or not a student remains in college presents an appropriate context within which to examine the modeling of event occurrence with longitudinal data. The …

Inequities in Education: The Case of Fulton County School District
… to just 4 percent of Caucasian students (McArdle, Osypuk, and Acevedo-Garcia 2010, 1). Disparities that derive from socioeconomic and racial segregation in schools have expanded the achievement gap, African American and Hispanics students consistently perform at lower levels than Caucasian …

Temporal, spatial and thematic analysis of special events in Victoria (1997)
Tourism and its related products have received increasing attention within many communities as a viable addition or replacement to some traditional industries which might have downsized, or ceased to exist. Much of the acceptance is based on the professed ability to produce economic, social and …

The adoption of Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) technology by the UK manufacturing base
Since the late 1970s, families of microelectronic technologies that could bring the advantages of high levels of electronic integration have been available at reasonable prices and manageable risk to all sectors of UK industry. However, the uptake of these technologies has been painfully slow, …

Liquid Urbanisms: Dublin's Loose Networks and Provisional Places
My PhD thesis contributes to the disciplines of Geography and Urban Studies by adding the vocabulary, typology and conceptual framework of what I call ‘Liquid Urbanisms’ (LU). My LU typology invites scholars to investigate a range of provisional places and projects in their city initiatives, …

Mathematical modelling of thixotropic and antithixotropic fluids
In this thesis we consider two fundamental flow problems, the Stokes problem and flow in a slowly-varying channel, for complex fluids. Specifically, we investigate these problems for thixotropic and antithixotropic fluids described by Mewis and Wagner's [Advances in Colloid and Interface Science, …

Resistance in Superconducting Epitaxial Niobium Nanowires
The thermally activated phase slip description of resistance in one-dimensional superconducting wires is unable to explain additional resistance observed in extremely narrow nanowires well below the critical temperature. However, attributing this additional resistance to quantum phase slips has …

Semantically Based Lexical Processing Yields Unique Topographic Contributions to the Speech Bereitschaftspotential
The Bereitschaftspotential (BP) is an event related potential believed to reflect motor planning and preparedness. Although the relationship between the BP and volitional movements of the distal limbs is well established, studies of the BP and speech have produced inconclusive findings. The most …
