Abstract:

Foster placement breakdown has an adverse effect on a looked after child’s (CLA) educational outcomes and social and emotional wellbeing. One third of foster families have Natural Siblings (NS) and it has been reported that these placements are significantly more likely to break down than placements with no NS. Problems between foster child and foster parents’ own children have been given as the reason for termination in 56 % of placements that failed in nine months or less. The aim of this research is to explore the experiences of older NS in relation to their relationships with CLA and explo

Abstract:

Measurements of carbon (13C/12C; δ13C) and nitrogen (15N/14N; δ15N) stable isotope ratios have become important tools for: estimating energy flow and trophic positions in aquatic foodwebs; comparing food webs; and aiding in the tracking of wide-ranging consumers. However, each of these applications requires accurate measurements of isotopic signatures in organisms at or near the base of the food web (e.g. autotrophs and their consumers), which act as basal reference points from which to calibrate inferences. Therefore, understanding variations in isotopic baselines, and the mechanisms leading

There is a dogma in molecular biology that biological functions of peptides are determined by their structure ("function" code), coded in their primary structure ("structure" code). This work describes a new approach that attempts to elucidate these relationships by peptide topology design based on intriguing conformational properties of pipecolic acid based amino acids--like 1,2,3,4 tetrahydroisoquinoline (Tic). Opioid peptides, owing to the heterogeneity of opioid receptors, display a wide variety of physiological actions. The mu opioid receptor selective octapeptide I (D-Tic-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-O

The caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) on Southampton Island, Nunavut, Canada for the years 1998-2000 and 2004, 2005, were investigated using stable isotope analysis (SIA) of carbon (d 13C) and nitrogen (d 15N). Spring signatures of rumen contents and muscle samples were correlated with standard biological measures of back fat and Riney kidney fat index. Caribou d 13C and d 15N ratios, together with detailed rumen content analysis, show that SIA data yields a time-integrated signal reflective of spatial and temporal variation in feeding ecology and as such is capable of detecting tr

The overarching goal of this dissertation was to explore relationships between streamwater nitrogen (N) and the most representative primary uptake compartments (PUCs) in stream ecosystems (e.g. microbial biofilm, algae, bryophytes, macrophytes). In particular, environmental factors driving these biogeochemical relationships along a strong anthropogenic gradient were explored and differences among and within PUC types were compared. To elucidate the factors controlling these relationships, we used N stable isotopes (δ15N; in ‰), both natural abundance (Chapter one, two and three) and 15N labell

Abstract:

Two species of hake (Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus) account for most of Namibia’s fisheries catch, and they are important secondary consumers in the Benguela Current ecosystem. Inferences on their trophic relationships have been based mainly on stomach content analyses. However, such data are limited temporally because they represent only snapshots of recent feeding, and are quantitatively biased because of variation in the digestion rates of different prey. The principal aim of the thesis was to understand the trophic relationships of two hake species relative to each other, th

Despite the CRSs equality in marital satisfaction and stability research, teaching couples a validating style is often explicitly more preferential in therapeutic settings. Relationship self-regulation (RSR), described as relationship “work”, is also a strong predictor of relationship satisfaction.

Abstract:

The sex difference in forced-choice sexual jealousy responses has over the past 20 years gradually been established as a stable sex difference by the empirical literature (e.g. Sagarin et al., 2012). The search of possible moderators of the sex-difference has therefore been intensified. In this thesis I aim to investigate to what extent, if any at all, does earlier relationship experiences act as a stable moderator of the sex-difference. For that purpose, I administrated four infidelity scenarios and questions regarding earlier relationship to 473 undergraduate students, 281 women and 192 men.

Human activity modifies the behaviour of large vertebrates and their acquisition of key resources. Despite the predation risk and competition for similar food resources that humans impose, wildlife consumers must acquire key foods across the landscape. Predation risk can modify foraging behaviour, yet we know little about the potential consequences, especially on large spatial scales. Humans may also affect food availability for wildlife by competing for shared prey, which most current harvest prescriptions fail to recognize.

Abstract:

This dissertation work addresses two important aspects of nanotechnology - stable dispersion and self-assembly of colloidal nanostructures. Three distinctly different types of nano-scaled materials have been studied: 0-dimensional ZnO quantum dots (QDs), 1-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and 2-dimensional alpha-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoplatelets. Specifically, highly crystalline ZrP layered compounds with differences in diameters have been synthesized and fully exfoliated into monolayer platelets with uniform thickness, followed by their self-assembly into liquid crystalline structur

Abstract:

This thesis explores the adversarial relationship between India and Pakistan which is rooted in historical animosities that resulted from the end of the British Raj in 1946. This relationship is further exacerbated by the fact that both countries have conducted nuclear tests. An examination of the development of India and Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program, specifically their nuclear doctrines and nuclear capabilities, is provided to determine the nature of their technical nuclear posture. A policy of sufficient deterrence is explained and adopted to keep the level of nuclear arsenals at a num

Abstract:

A structure property relationship relating photostability with the axial and peripheral substituents of Boronsubphthalocyanine (BsubPc) derivatives has been outlined: peripherally halogenating BsubPc has been determined to be the best way to increase the photostability, while axial substituents are found to have little effect. A solid state photostability test using BsubPc doped polymer films has been developed and was used to form this structure property relationship. The polymer in which BsubPc is tested is found to have an effect on the photostability and should be further explored. In addi

Abstract:

Yes<br>Bioarchaeological and clinical data show that diet influences health, and this relationship is crucial to how we understand past health with respect to sex and age. We propose a new method that coinvestigates the relationship between mortality risk and diet in the past. Our method integrates dietary stable isotope data (δ13 Carbon and δ 15 Nitrogen) from Roman Britain (N=659) with hazards analysis. The results show that these data can be informatively used in this type of analysis in general, and that in the context of Roman Britain, higher δ 13C is associated with lower risks o
