“Be kind to yourself – because you’re doing fine”: using self-determination theory to explore the health-related experiences of primiparous women participating in a motivational interviewing-via-co-active life coaching intervention
(2017)
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are a vulnerable time for the onset of
obesity, especially in primiparous (first-time) mothers. Because postpartum weight retention is a
strong independent risk factor for chronic ...
The immediate effects of Tai Chi on the postural stability, muscle activity and measures of inferred ankle proprioception of healthy young adults
(2020)
Tai Chi has often been applied in research among older adults to affect postural stability and
proprioception in the lower limbs; however, little is known about the effects Tai Chi may have in
these domains among healthy ...
Conceptualizing strengths: positive development and mental health correlates in emerging
(2020)
Research on individual strengths has historically been conducted with samples across the
lifespan. However, the conceptualization and operationalization of strengths has varied by study,
leaving gaps in the literature. ...

A proposed moderation model of socially prescribed perfectionism and mattering to predict maladjustment in first-year university students
(2020)
Emerging adulthood (ages 18-29) is recognized as a stage associated with unique developmental
needs and transitions. Moving from high school to university is one life transition that demands
for multiple adjustments and ...
The stereochemical impact of chiral ionic liquids on [2+2] photochemical cycloadditions and aldol reactions
(2020)
Eight chiral ionic liquids have been prepared for use as solvents to test whether they can
induce enantioselectivity in both photochemical [2+2] cycloadditions and aldol reactions using a
variety of starting materials. ...
A Modification of the Effros-Handelman-Shen Theorem with Z2 actions
(2020)
In this thesis, we show that if we have a Z2 action on a latticeordered dimension group, then it will arise as an inductive limit of Z2
actions on simplicial groups. This work was motivated by the range of
the invariant ...

(2020)
'Home' is typically described as a haven for safety, comfort, privacy, and familiarity. For older women who
are unsure of their future or who may have a different relationship with their place of residence, 'home' is
an ...
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)
A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals
at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical
fiber was tapered with a dynamic ...
