(Elsevier B.V., 2018-12)Well-validated screening tools have been developed to identify people at high risk for psychosis, but these are rarely used outside of specialty clinics or research settings. The development of extremely brief and simple ... -
Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Inflammation across 7‐Years in Racially Diverse Midlife Women: Study of Women's Health across the Nation
(The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, 2014-06-11)Self-reported discrimination has emerged as a predictor of negative psychological and physical health outcomes across racial/ethnic groups. The goals of this study were to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a ... -
Higher Dispositional Optimism Predicts Lower Pain Reduction During Conditioned Pain Modulation
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-09-13)Optimism is associated with lower pain sensitivity, positive adjustment to chronic pain, and greater reduction of pain thresholds in a conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigm. We hypothesized that participants with ... -
Media Anthropology: Meaning, Embodiment, Infrastructure, and Activism
Media is a word that can be used to describe a set of technologies that connect multiple people at one time to shared content. Media anthropologists study mass communication (broadcast radio and television) and digital ... -
Mapping pine plantations in the southeastern U.S. using structural, spectral, and temporal remote sensing data
(Elsevier Inc., 2018-10)The southeastern U.S. produces the most industrial roundwood in the U.S. each year, largely from commercial pine plantations. The extent of plantation forests and management dynamics can be difficult to ascertain from ... -
RECENT SPECIATION IN THE ORCHARD ORIOLE GROUP: DIVERGENCE OF ICTERUS SPURIUS SPURIUS AND ICTERUS SPURIUS FUERTESI
(The American Ornithologists' Union, 2003-04-22)New World orioles (Icterus) include several closely related species and subspecies pairs that provide excellent opportunities for studying recent speciation. We examined a subspecies pair in the Orchard Oriole group: Orchard ... -
Literacy, Numeracy, and Health Information Seeking Among Middle- Aged and Older Adults in the United States
(SAGE journals, 2018-09-27)Objectives: Health literacy is often viewed as an essential skill set for successfully seeking health information to make health-related decisions. However, this general understanding has yet to be established with the use ... -
Trauma’s Influence on Relationships: Clients’ Perspectives at an Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Program
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2018-10-01)Although individuals who engage in intimate partner violence (IPV) report high rates of trauma exposure, it is unclear whether they perceive a link between trauma exposures and relationship problems, which traumas are seen ... -
Confirmatory factor analyses of the Parent Attributions Questionnaire among Asian immigrant mothers
(SAGE journals, 2018-09-18)The present study examined the factor structure of maternal attributions regarding their caregiving experiences, measured by the Parent Attributions Questionnaire, among Asian immigrant mothers. Chinese and Korean immigrant ... -
Asian American and European American emerging adults’ perceived parenting styles and self-regulation ability
(APA PsysNET, 2018-06)Self-regulation refers to one’s ability to manage one’s emotions and behaviors in response to situational demands and is an important ability during emerging adulthood. Parenting styles play a significant role in children’s ... -
COMSOL Modeling of Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport in Two-Dimensional Geometries With Heterogeneities
(2011)The Delmarva Peninsula is located on the East Coast of the United States, between the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Industrial farming in the Delmarva Peninsula leads to levels of nutrients, in particular nitrogen, ... -
Predicting Fish Growth Potential and Identifying Water Quality Constraints: A Spatially-Explicit Bioenergetics Approach
(Springer Science,Business Media, 2011-07-17)Anthropogenic impairment of water bodies represents a global environmental concern, yet few attempts have successfully linked fish performance to thermal habitat suitability and fewer have distinguished co-varying water ... -
Extraction of hydrological proximity measures from DEMs using parallel processing
(Elsevier. Ltd, 2011-08-23)Land surface topography is one of the most important terrain properties which impact hydrological, geomorphological, and ecological processes active on a landscape. In our previous efforts to develop a soil depth model ... -
The ephemerality of secondary forests in southern Costa Rica
(Wiley Periodicals, 2018-09-26)Secondary forests are increasingly recognized for conserving biodiversity and mitigating global climate change, but these and other desired outcomes can only be achieved after decades of regeneration, and secondary forests ... -
Effects of riparian buffers on nitrate concentrations in watershed discharges: new models and management implications
(Ecological Society of America, 2011-07-01)Watershed analyses of nutrient removal in riparian buffers have been limited by the geographic methods used to map buffers and by the statistical models used to test and quantify buffer effects on stream nutrient levels. ... -

Underneath the Mask of the Strong Black Woman Schema: Disentangling Influences of Strength and Self-Silencing on Depressive Symptoms among U.S. Black Women
(Springer US, 2018-09-10)Recent investigations have elucidated the influence of the Strong Black Woman (SBW) Schema on the mental health and treatment seeking behaviors of Black women in the United States. However, the SBW schematic characteristics ... -
Untangling the effects of urban development on subsurface storage in Baltimore
(Wiley, 2015-01-12)The impact of urban development on surface flow has been studied extensively over the last half century, but effects on groundwater systems are still poorly understood. Previous studies of the influence of urban development ... -
Improving the Computational Effciency of Downscaling GCM data for Use in SWAT
(2014)This project creates software tools to streamline the computational procedures to generate high-resolution weather parameters from low resolution Global Climate Models (GCM) to be input into the Soil and Water Assessment ... -
Use of a Three-Dimensional Reactive Solute Transport Model for Evaluation of Bioreactor Placement in Stream Restoration
(Alliance of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Science Societies, 2016-03-21)A three-dimensional groundwater flow and multispecies reactive transport model was used to strategically design placement of bioreactors in the subsurface to achieve maximum removal of nitrate along restored stream reaches. ...
