Industrial Allocation and Growth Trajectories: a multi-level approach
… investigates the process of economic growth with heterogeneous agents from a multi-level perspective. Building upon Kaldorian and Evolutionary principles, growth is defined as a path-dependent and complex phenomenon, which requires structural variation and the interplay between demand …

Growth Trajectories of Neurocognitive Self-Regulation and Adolescent Adjustment
… it has yet to be examined how longitudinal growth in self-regulation may predict individual differences in symptomatology. That is, adolescents who develop self-regulatory capacities such as executive functioning (EF; including shifting, working memory, and inhibitory control) more slowly …

Effects of annual thermal regime on growth trajectories of native age-0 brook trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis)
… thermal conditions. The current study evaluated growth patterns of young-of-the-year brook trout in two tributaries with dramatically different annual thermal regimes. Using a common garden design, we then evaluated the effect of variable incubation temperatures on egg size, developmental …

Dynamic Relations Within and Between Early Communication Proficiencies and Key Skill Elements' Growth Trajectories of Infants and Toddlers
… The literature describing observed developmental trajectories of the constituent key skill elements of the total communication indicator provides theoretical and empirical bases for establishing their utility for earlier identification of language delays among infants and toddlers and informing …

The Nature and the Consequences of Achievement Goals During Early Adolescence
… and these differences had implications for the growth trajectories of classroom engagement and achievement. Mastery goals predicted adaptive growth trajectories, while performance avoidance goals predicted maladaptive growth trajectories of engagement and achievement. Performance approach goals …

Predicting and Tracking Mathematics Growth Using High - Stakes Test Scores: An Examination of Latent Growth and Latent Class Models
… later high-stakes mathematics scores, latent growth trajectories, the number of latent class growth trajectories present from third to sixth grade, and decision statistics. Participants were 1,414 students, comprised of three cohorts attending a suburban public school district in Southeastern …

Assessing the future : the impacts of development on Steamboat Springs, Colorado
… new propositions for accommodating population growth, but do not possess the proper tools for comparing the potential impacts of different options. In this thesis, I construct four alternative futures for Steamboat Springs, based on realistic potential growth trajectories. Using a visual survey …

Association between early maternal depression and child growth: A group-based trajectory modeling analysis
… outdoor play, and dietary intake) and at-risk growth trajectories from birth to age 9; 3) The association between clan-level factors (maternal involvement and breastfeeding duration) and at-risk growth trajectories from birth to age 9; 4) Differences in growth trajectory solutions by …

Waves of Change: Longitudinal Growth Profiling of Bilingual (Spanish-English) Language Development
… literature supports the notion of language growth trajectories, primarily in monolingual English children, the shape and direction of English-language learners' (ELLs) language growth trajectories are largely unknown. The present study examined the shape of ELLs' language growth trajectories …

Longitudinal validity of the FNPA screening tool to predict changes in weight status in children
… environment and economic factors on long-term growth trajectories among youth.</p> <p>The first study provided support for the continued use of the subjective (Almost Never/Sometimes/Often/Almost Always) response scale based on superior test-retest reliability and inter-item reliability when …

The longitudinal effects of HIV and ART on the developing brain: a structural MRI study using manual segmentation
… the 3 T Allegra scanner. Volumetric growth curves were fit for forty children using mixed effects models with subject-specific random effects, with adjustment for possible two-way interactions between age and diagnosis. We investigated linear, quadratic, cubic and logarithmic fits for …

Analysis of longitudinal data in perinatal trials when the length of follow-up is informative
… protein content human milk fortifier on the growth of 60 preterm infants. This dataset was used to investigate different methods of analysis for estimating the effect of treatment on infant growth when informative cluster size was suspected. As real data cannot be used to show which methods …

Gender differences in symptom change for court-placed youth in residential treatment : a latent growth curve analysis
… symptom severity every four weeks. Latent Growth Curve Modeling (LGCM) was implemented to obtain growth trajectories of symptom change over time. The hypothesis that females would enter residential treatment with greater psychopathological symptoms was supported; however, no gender …

Capturing Latent Abilities and Latent Capacities of Professional Golfers Using Nonlinear Mixed Effects Growth Modeling
… golfers. I used nonlinear mixed effects growth modeling (e.g., Dynamic Measurement Modeling) to measure professional golfers’ ability levels and capacities for improvement. I accomplished this using a two-stage modeling approach. First, a crossed linear mixed effects model estimated each …

Smallmouth Bass Seasonal Dynamics in Northeastern South Dakota Glacial Lakes
… for bass from Okobojo Bay and Pickerel Lake. Growth trajectories of age-1 smallmouth bass were similar for the two sites on Lake Oahe, while Pickerel Lake bass growth increased substantially after August primarily due to prey fish consumption. The energetic contribution for age-1 smallmouth …
