Pain-contingent interruption and resumption of work goals: A within-day diary analysis
(The Journal of Pain, 1/1/2017)Daily pain-related attributions for and negative affective reactions to the non-pursuit of work goals and individual differences in chronic pain severity and stress were used to predict work goal resumption in a sample of ... -
Pain-related Anxiety and Smoking Outcomes: The Explanatory Role of Dysphoria
(2018-12)Scientific evidence suggests that pain-related anxiety may contribute to the maintenance of tobacco addiction among smokers with varying levels of pain. Yet, no work has investigated the relation between pain-related anxiety ... -
Pain-related Anxiety and Smoking Processes: The Explanatory Role of Dysphoria
(2018)Scientific evidence suggests that pain-related anxiety may contribute to the maintenance of tobacco addiction among smokers with varying levels of pain. Yet, no work has investigated the relation between pain-related anxiety ... -
Paired Associate Learning Tasks and their Contribution to Reading Skills
(Learning and Individual Differences, 1/1/2017)Associative learning has been identified as one of several non-linguistic processes involved in reading acquisition. However, it has not been established whether it is an independent process that contributes to reading ... -
Palace Maid Murals: Establishing a Feminine Space in the Tang Imperial Tomb of Princess Yongtai
(2019-05)This thesis examines Princess Yongtai’s satellite tomb in Qianling Mausoleum, which was constructed in 706 CE during the Chinese Tang dynasty. It boasts one of the most intact and exemplary murals of palace maids within ... -
Paleocene Turbidite Deposition in the Central American Seaway (NW Costa Rica): Geochemical Analysis and Provenance of Detrital Spinel and Clinopyroxene
(2015-08)The Central American Land Bridge is the crucial connection between North and South America, and the Miocene closure of the Panama seaway led to a change in global oceanic circulation patterns. Modern Costa Rica is part ... -
Paleosol evolution in a sequence stratigraphic framework, Cretaceous Ferron Notom Delta, south central Utah, U.S.A.
(2014-05)Hydromorphic paleosols have been previously thought of as ever wet and poorly developed, and lacking useful paleoenviromental and paleoclimatic indicators. However, a suite of pedogenic features and geochemical attributes ... -
Palladium and Cobalt-Catalyzed Functionalization of sp2 and sp3 Carbon-Hydrogen Bonds
(August 201)Directed functionalization of C–H bonds has emerged as a practical method for new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. Despite the achieved successes, many challenges still remain. First, use of the methodology ... -
PALLADIUM-CATALYZED C–H BOND FUNCTIONALIZATION OF HETEROCYCLES AND AMINES
(2012-08)Palladium-catalyzed functionalization of C–H bonds is becoming an important synthetic tool that allows the preparation of desired substances in fewer steps and higher yields compared to traditional synthetic routes. The ... -
Paradigms Found in Reunification Research
(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2016)When children are removed from their parents by the child welfare system, reunification is almost always the initial goal and is actually the most likely scenario (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], ... -
Parallel I/O for Shared Memory Applications using OpenMP
(2013-08)I/O is a major time-limiting factor in high performance computing (HPC) applications. The combined effects of hard drive latency and bandwidth make I/O the slowest operation in a system. A lot of work has been done in ... -
Parallel Self-Assembly and Sorting of Polyominoes under Uniform Control Inputs
(2018-12)Automated assembly at micro and nano-scale is essential for manufacturing smaller and inexpensive products at faster rates. Traditional micro-assembly and manipulation techniques involve micro-grippers and manipulators ... -
Parallel Self-Assembly of Polyominoes Under Uniform Control Inputs
(IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 6/15/2017)We present fundamental progress on parallel self-assembly using large swarms of microscale particles in complex environments, controlled not by individual navigation, but by a uniform, global, external force with the same ... -
Parameter Estimation of the Heston Volatility Sde under the Non-Gaussian Regime
(August 201)Stochastic volatility models, in finance, study the volatility dynamics of the asset pricing process. It is the assumption of the randomness of the volatility of a underlying asset not directly observable, that allows for ... -
Parameter Optimization for Start-up of a Simultaneous Nitrification/Denitrification Membrane Aerated Bioreactor
(2015-08)Water is among the critical limited resources required to sustain human life in space. NASA has targeted 98% water recovery from wastewater in its efforts to transition from low earth orbit to long-duration exploration ... -
Parameters Estimation for Stochastic Genetic Evolution of Asexual Populations
(December 2)The evolution of asexual microorganisms depends primarily on their selective advantages (fitnesses) and mutation rates. Previous attempts to estimate these parameters failed for realistic cases with multiple mutations. ...
