Fabrication of Vascularized Renal Constructs
… 3D collagen hydrogel culture. But these hydrogel constructs are too small to be useful and lack the necessary vascular components. To move forward these renal constructs must be pre-vascularized. The basis for this work is the development of a novel, biomimetic pre-vascularization strategy. We …

Power constructs and propositional systems
… and relations on systems are called power constructs. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the use of power constructs in propositional systems. Some operations and relations on systems that arise as power constructs include the Tarskian addition and product operations, the contraction …

Biofunctional hydrogels for skeletal muscle constructs
… of myogenesis knowledge into engineering muscle constructs by examining the impact of the cell microenvironment on growth, alignment, fusion, and differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. The main motivation behind this thesis was to generate a contractile 3D skeletal muscle construct utilizing …

Constructs of Parenting in Urban Ghana
<p>The current study explores models of parenting constructs in a sample of contemporary urban Ghanaian adults who are raising at least one child between the ages of five and twelve years old. Parenting practices that include high levels of responsiveness to children's needs, as well as high levels …

Time series analysis of macroeconometric constructs
This thesis addresses the issue of estimating persistence of economic shocks using time series models. First, it is shown that the log likelihood function for ARIMA models is not strictly quadratic with respect to the persistence estimate. This result explains why the persistence literature has …

Optimal constructs for chip level modeling
… Based on the analysis of the languages, optimal constructs for chip level modeling are extracted. Example descriptions of a microprocessor system MARK 2 are presented.

Theoretical Constructs that Predict Women's Exercise
… these variables and physical activity level. The constructs of selfesteem, depression, and knowledge seemed to have indirect, rather than direct, effects on physical activity that were mediated by self-efficacy. Goals and outcome expectations also did not seem to directly predict physical activity …

Stability of long multiple-rod constructs and dual-rod constructs in the thoracic spine: a biomechanical cadaveric study
… to emerge around the utility of multiple-rod constructs (typically 3 or more rods) to increase the stiffness and stability of a spinal fusion construct. Much of this work has focused on the lumbar spine, and little has been published around how these constructs behave in a long construct …

Structural supramolecular constructs of spheres and tubes
This thesis examines four different molecular systems that are in part or substrates for larger structural motifs that resemble spheres or tubes. The first project used donut shaped cucurbituril and through functionalization realized a new analogue, a greener synthesis for biologically important …

Assessment of Constructs Related to Childhood Aggression
This study provides empirical support for the comprehensive theoretical model of aggression proposed by Meloy (2001) by examining characteristics of children who have a longstanding history of aggression across home and educational settings. The theoretical model first proposed by Meloy (2001) …

Test coaching on assessments of cognitive constructs
In continuously administered employment tests, test security may be compromised by examinees revealing test items to future test candidates. Unlike academic testing, employee selection tests generally have longer test windows and are less likely to implement new test items or have multiple parallel …

Parametric constructs : computational designs for digital fabrication
This thesis explores strategies for building design toolchains in order to design, develop and fabricate architectural forms. The hipothesys of this research is that by embedding ruled based procedures addressing generative, variational, iterative, and fabricational logics, into early phases of …

Symbiotic: The Human Body and Constructs of Nature
… the essence of these two entities by considering constructs of nature, as well as where the human body fits in within these categories.

An analysis of self constructs and self variables
The attempt to study the antecedents of the meaning implicit in the various uses of the term self' by contemporary psychologists in theory and measurement is a task which has been avoided by historians to date. Examination of a range of the general psychology-psychiatry-philosophy history texts …
