description: Suppressing phonon propagation in nanowires is an essential goal towards achieving efficient thermoelectric devices. Recent experiments have shown unambiguously that surface roughness is a key factor that can reduce the thermal conductivity well below the Casimir limit in thin crystalline silicon nanowires. We use insights gained from the experimental studies to construct a simple analytically tractable model of the phonon-surface roughness interaction that provides a better theoretical understanding of the effects of surface roughness on the thermal conductivity, which could potentially help in designing better thermoelectric devices.

The influence of relMtb on the expression of immunoregulatory antigens in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Creators: name: Lau-Bonilla, Dalia
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Immune response -- Regulation

description: This study describes the effects of RelMtb on the expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigens. RelMtb is a global regulator that coordinates the stringent response in M. tuberculosis. The main objective of this work was to find a correlation between the presence of RelMtb and the expression of antigens that could modulate the immune response of the host. Finding this link will provide evidence that RelMtb contributes to the pathogenesis and virulence of M. tuberculosis. This work focused on two antigens that appear to be regulated by RelMtb: Glutamine synthetase (GlnA1) and Antigen 84 (Wag31Mtb). GlnA1 plays an essential role in nitrogen metabolism while Wag31Mtb participates in the process of cell division. The results presented here demonstrate that mycobacterial cells lacking Rel have a decreased production of both of these antigens. The lower concentrations of GlnA1 and Wag31Mtb could have an impact on intracellular survival, as well as an effect on the interactions of the mycobacterial cells with the immune mechanisms of the host. The work presented here provides preliminary data that can be used as the foundation to explore further: The role of GlnA1 in the pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis, in particular on the production of P-L-glx and on the regulation of the intraphagosomal environment; and the potential of Wag31Mtb as an antigen and as inducer of phagocytosis. These features could be exploited in the development of vaccines and anti-tuberculosis drugs. In conclusion, the findings presented here support the hypothesis that RelMtb participates in the regulation of a wide variety of genes, including several involved in pathogenesis, antigenicity, and virulence. Accordingly, this work contributes to the field of mycobacteriology by providing more evidence of the significant role of RelMtb in the physiology and pathogenesis of M. tuberculosis.

description: We perform a systematic WKB expansion to all orders for a one-dimensional system with potential $V(x)=U_0/\cos^2{(αx)}$. We are able to sum the series to the exact energy spectrum. Then we show that at any finite order the error of the WKB approximation measured in the natural units of the mean energy level spacing does not go to zero when the quantum number goes to infinity. Therefore we make the general conclusion that the semiclassical approximations fail to predict the individual energy levels within a vanishing fraction of the mean energy level spacing.

description: Redshift space distortions privilege the location of the observer in cosmological redshift surveys, breaking the translational symmetry of the underlying theory. This violation of statistical homogeneity has consequences for the modeling of clustering observables, leading to what are frequently called `wide angle effects'. We study these effects analytically, computing their signature in the clustering of the multipoles in configuration and Fourier space. We take into account both physical wide angle contributions as well as the terms generated by the galaxy selection function. Similar considerations also affect the way power spectrum estimators are constructed. We quantify, in an analytical way the biases which enter and clarify the relation between what we measure and the underlying theoretical modeling. The presence of an angular window function is also discussed. Motivated by this analysis we present new estimators for the three dimensional Cartesian power spectrum and bispectrum multipoles written in terms of spherical Fourier-Bessel coefficients. We show how the latter have several interesting properties, allowing in particular a clear separation between angular and radial modes.

description: Classical topological phases derived from point degeneracies in photonic bandstructures show intriguing and unique behaviour. Previously identified exceptional points are based on accidental degeneracies and subject to engineering on a case-by-case basis. Here we show that symmetry induced (deterministic) pseudo Weyl points with non-trivial topology and hyper-conic dispersion exist at the centre of the Brillouin zone of chiral cubic systems. We establish the physical implications by means of a $P2_13$ sphere packing, realised as a nano plasmonic system and a photonic crystal.

The influence of habitat and life history of reef fishes on the effectiveness of a marine protected area network in Hawaii to replenish aquarium fish populations
Creators: name: Ortiz, Delisse M.
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Marine parks and reserves -- Hawaii

description: A network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on the west coast of the island of Hawaii (West Hawaii) has been shown to vary in its effectiveness to replenish depleted aquarium fish stocks. To determine the abundance and distribution of habitats needed to better design and manage MPAs in Hawaii, underwater video transects, remote sensing data, geographic information systems (GIS), and a benthic classification scheme were combined to develop a map of reef habitats previously identified as important to the life history of aquarium fish and other reef species. Using these maps, an assessment was conducted to quantify habitats used by different life stages of targeted aquarium fish species at four MPAs. Results showed that deep aggregate coral-rich areas and rubble substrates adjacent to shallow turf-rich boulder habitats at various depths (i.e., 0-30m) were used by all study species. In addition, appropriate habitat type for early life history stages of fish species, large areas of these habitats on the reef, and proximity of appropriate recruit, juvenile, and adult habitats were associated with an MPA showing effective replenishment. I further use landscape metrics to explore relationships between the most heavily collected aquarium fish species, yellow tang Zebrasoma flavescens, and the spatial characteristics of the reef in relation to the effectiveness of an MPA network in West Hawaii. Our results indicated that reef geomorphology, area and number of reef habitat types, and level of habitat complexity were associated with the significant recovery of aquarium fish populations. Furthermore, recruitment rate and years of closure influenced the effectiveness of the network, with more MPAs showing significant increases of yellow tang as years of protection increased and recruitment was consistent. My results demonstrate that the design of protected areas selected for conservation should take into account the recruitment dynamics and habitat requirements of each life stage of targeted species on spatial scales that are appropriate to the species being protected. The use of landscape metrics and new technologies, such as remote sensing and GIS, coupled with in situ population sampling can provide managers with the information required to select and manage reef systems for maximum benefit to targeted fish populations.
Conflict handling profiles and performance in dyadic alliances
Creators: name: Funk, Charles Albert
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Conflict management

description: In this exploratory study of the alliance partner conflict process, a relational view is used to propose a five phases for describing and assessing partner conflict handling orientations and their relationship to alliance performance: a predispositional phase where a number of contextual factors (relational history, stakes and incentives, partner power, organizational pressure for success, environmental munificence) drive the establishment of initial conflict handling orientations (collaborative, competitive, compromising, accommodative, avoidant); an initial interaction phase where partners first attempt collaboration; an adjustment phase where partner orientations and performance assessments begin to affect initial contextual factors; a performance phase where altered partner orientations affect performance assessments; and a repeated interaction phase where unfavorable partner conflict orientation pairings reduce collaborativeness but do not necessarily dissolve the alliance. This study investigates four of these phases (predispositional, initial interaction, performance and repeated interaction). After reviewing relevant conflict literature in the sociology, marketing, organizational behavior and strategic alliance fields, a pre-post experimental design is developed to assess the phases using a sample of junior and senior business students (N=198). Subjects are initially surveyed to assess their individual conflict handling orientations and then pre-experimentally surveyed to confirm their adherence to a specific conflict handling orientation (either collaborative or competitive) that they are randomly primed to assume. Subjects then play an experimental game with an anonymous alliance partner (who was actually the experimenter) where they propose payment levels for the manufacture of a series of alliance products. The experimenter-partner either accepts or rejects these payments based on a consistent handling conflict orientation. At the end of the game, subjects complete a post-experimental survey measuring their final conflict handling orientations. Results provide partial support for each of the four hypothesized phases in alliance partner conflict handling. In particular, an alliance partner?s initial collaborative predisposition and the continuing stickiness? of the alliance relationship in the face of uncooperative and/or assertive partners are evidenced in this work and should assist alliance managers and their parent organizations in strategically assessing the initial complementarity and the ultimate success of the alliance relationship. Finally, study limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.

description: Security of mobile apps affects the security of their users. This has fueled the development of techniques to automatically detect vulnerabilities in mobile apps and help developers secure their apps; specifically, in the context of Android platform due to openness and ubiquitousness of the platform. Despite a slew of research efforts in this space, there is no comprehensive repository of up-to-date and lean benchmarks that contain most of the known Android app vulnerabilities and, consequently, can be used to rigorously evaluate both existing and new vulnerability detection techniques and help developers learn about Android app vulnerabilities. In this paper, we describe Ghera, an open source repository of benchmarks that capture 25 known vulnerabilities in Android apps (as pairs of exploited/benign and exploiting/malicious apps). We also present desirable characteristics of vulnerability benchmarks and repositories that we uncovered while creating Ghera.

An ethnoarchaeological analysis of small prey bone assemblages produced by forest foragers of the Central African Republic
Creators: name: Fancher, Jason M.
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Ethnoarchaeology -- Central African Republic

description: This dissertation is an ethnoarchaeological analysis of small prey (<25 kg) bones produced by contemporary Bofi and Aka foragers of the Central African Republic. The interpretive benefits of understanding small prey use in prehistory are increasingly recognized, but specific data on processing and taphonomic patterning among small fauna are still relatively limited. This study contributes to the literature by descriptively detailing the taphonomic characteristics of culturally-produced damage (burning, cut marks, chop marks, and fracture patterns) for all prey species identified in the assemblage. It then explores these bone collections in a global context, comparing them to a range of other ethnographic, experimental, and archaeological studies, with an emphasis on the role of prey size in determining taphonomic damage patterns. Results suggest that the behavioral interpretation of small fauna requires a thorough re-evaluation of assumptions, primarily because conventional wisdom and theoretical expectations have so often been developed from studies of larger animals. In addition to description and comparison, this study examines the ways that taphonomic expectations derived from foraging theory and tested on large prey apply to analyses of smaller fauna. Foragers, past and present, have had to make decisions about how to best extract energy from their environment, and from acquired resources. Among animal prey, contextual specifics such as carcass size and anatomy, prey availability, butchery technology, and cooking methods all impact the processing strategies employed by particular butchers. One compelling prediction of foraging theory is that butchers and consumers alter their investment in extracting resources (e.g., meat, marrow, and grease) from animal carcasses in relation to their abundance; as the availability of high-ranking prey species decreases, acquired carcasses of these species are expected to be processed more intensively. Ethnoarchaeological data from forest forager-produced bone assemblages are used here to evaluate commonly proposed zooarchaeological measures of processing intensity and their applicability to small prey. Results indicate that bone fragmentation has greater potential than cut or chop marks to link processing decisions and resulting taphonomic patterning in this context.

description: The attraction between electrons and holes in semiconductors forms excitons, which largely determine the optical properties of the hosting material, and hence the device performance, especially for low-dimensional systems. Mono- and few-layer black phosphorus (BP) are emerging two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. Despite its fundamental importance and technological interest, experimental investigation of exciton physics has been rather limited. Here, we report the first systematic measurement of exciton binding energies in ultrahigh quality few-layer BP by infrared absorption spectroscopy, with layer (L) thickness ranging from 2-6 layers. Our experiments allow us to determine the exciton binding energy, decreasing from 213 meV (2L) to 106 meV (6L). The scaling behavior with layer number can be well described by an analytical model, which takes into account the nonlocal screening effect. Extrapolation to free-standing monolayer yields a large binding energy of ~800 meV. Our study provides insights into 2D excitons and their crossover from 2D to 3D, and demonstrates that few-layer BP is a promising high-quality optoelectronic material for potential infrared applications.

Detection of a 60 Degree-Long Dwarf Galaxy Debris Stream

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report on a 60 degree-long stream of stars, extending from Ursa Major to Sextans, in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The stream is approximately 2 degrees wide and is clearly distinct from the northern tidal arm of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. The apparent width of the stream suggests a progenitor with a size and mass similar to that of a dwarf galaxy. The stream is about 21 kpc distant and appears to be oriented almost perpendicular to our line of sight. The visible portion of the stream does not pass near any known dwarf galaxies, though we cannot rule out that the stream may form the inner part of a known dwarf galaxy's orbit. The most likely explanation is that the stream constitutes the remains a dwarf galaxy that has been completely disrupted at some point in the past. We also briefly report on the discovery of a diminutive Galactic satellite which lies near the projected path of the new stream, but is unlikely to be related to it.

description: In an effort to establish a base-rate of everyday functional ability in cognitively intact elderly, this study examined IADL dependency via self-report and a performance-based task, examined the influence of rater characteristics (age, depression, overall health), and compared older adults' performance to that of younger adults. Seventy non-demented elderly adults and 43 young adults completed questionnaires pertaining to daily functioning, overall health, and depression, as well as underwent a neuropsychological evaluation that included one performance-based measure of daily functioning. The findings revealed low rates of self-reported dependency amongst older adults, with the exception of handyman work. Self reported IADL was found to be predicted by overall health. On the performance-based measures the older adults unexpectedly performed better than the younger adults, highlighting the importance of accounting for education when assessing IADLs. Given the generally low rates of dependency and strong performance by older adults, these findings did not suggest a detrimental effect of the aging process on functional ability. This study adds to the literature on functional ability by demonstrating that characteristics of the rater differentially affect IADL data depending on the method of assessment. More specifically, self-reported IADLs may be more dependent upon health factors while performance on an objective measure was predicted by age and education.

description: Environmental conditions and external effects, such as shocks, have a significant impact on the calibration parameters of visual-inertial sensor systems. Thus long-term operation of these systems cannot fully rely on factory calibration. Since the observability of certain parameters is highly dependent on the motion of the device, using short data segments at device initialization may yield poor results. When such systems are additionally subject to energy constraints, it is also infeasible to use full-batch approaches on a big dataset and careful selection of the data is of high importance. In this paper, we present a novel approach for resource efficient self-calibration of visual-inertial sensor systems. This is achieved by casting the calibration as a segment-based optimization problem that can be run on a small subset of informative segments. Consequently, the computational burden is limited as only a predefined number of segments is used. We also propose an efficient information-theoretic selection to identify such informative motion segments. In evaluations on a challenging dataset, we show our approach to significantly outperform state-of-the-art in terms of computational burden while maintaining a comparable accuracy.

description: We performed high-magnetic-field magnetization, polarization, and ultrasonic measurements in Ba$_2$CuGe$_2$O$_7$ to investigate field-induced multiferroic properties arising from a cross-correlation between electric dipoles and electric quadrupoles in addition to cross-correlation between magnetic dipoles and electric dipoles. Magnetization $M$ shows saturation behavior above 20 T for several magnetic field directions, however, electric polarization $P_c$ exhibits an increase, and elastic constants show a softening above 20 T. Based on quantum states with a crystalline electric field for the $D_{2d}$ point group and $d$-$p$ hybridization between Cu-$3d$ and O-$2p$ electrons, we confirmed that the matrix of an electric dipole $P_z$ was proportional to that of an electric quadrupole $O_{xy}$. Furthermore, considering the spin-orbit coupling of $3d$ electrons and the Zeeman effect, we showed that $P_z$ and $O_{xy}$ simultaneously exhibited field-induced responses. These findings indicate that the orbital degrees of freedom, in addition to the spin degrees of freedom, contribute to the high-field multiferroicity in Ba$_2$CuGe$_2$O$_7$.

description: This thesis considers the problem of change-point analysis, more specifically the maximum likelihood estimates of a single abrupt change-point in sequence of independent, time-ordered exponential and normal random variables and the asymptotic distributions of those estimates. Exact computable expressions for the asymptotic distributions are calculated and the distributions are used to calculate confidence intervals for a change detected in the multivariate gaussian time-series of annual mean precipitation, a univariate gaussian time-series of temperature anomalies, and a time-ordered sequence of exponentially distributed time intervals between earthquakes. The accuracy of the asymptotic distribution and, in the gaussian case, robustness to departures from normality are investigated via simulations.

Pharmacokinetic characterization of angiotensin IV analogs with therapeutic potential for cancer and dementia

Subjects: Angiotensins -- Physiological aspects

description: Angiotensin IV is a peptide hormone that acts via the AT4 receptor with physiological functions that have not yet been fully elucidated but appear to include important roles in the processes of cognition, fluid balance, blood flow and vascular repair and remodeling. Angiotensin IV shares a partial homology with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and our laboratory has recently demonstrated that angiotensin IV analogs are able to effect changes in intracellular signaling cascades via the HGF receptor (c-Met). HGF/c-Met signaling is essential for embryonic development and is responsible for direction of cellular processes including differentiation, proliferation and migration. As the product of an oncogene, the c-Met receptor is also implicated to play a critical role cancer. Our laboratory has developed a library of angiotensin IV analogs with a number of these exhibiting strong potential as therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer or dementia. Given that the failure of many therapeutic candidates in clinical trials can be attributed to unsuitable pharmacokinetics, our laboratory wished to establish a basic understanding of the pharmacokinetic characteristics of these molecules. We, therefore, set out to establish the basic pharmacokinetic profiles of three molecules, which serve as representative molecules for classes of chemical modifications to the angiotensin IV peptide made in our laboratory. This dissertation presents results from in-vitro and in-vivo studies describing pharmacokinetic characteristics for three angiotensin IV analogs in rats. These characteristics include measures of metabolic stability, clearance mechanisms and rates, and kinetic parameters, including half life, volume of distribution, and area under the concentration/time curve. These studies indicate strong potential as pharmaceutical candidates for some of our angiotensin IV analogs; and a need for further chemical modification of others in order to overcome impractical pharmacokinetic characteristics. We additionally describe the development and validation of assays for quantification of these molecules in biological fluids.

description: This work reports the study of the spectral properties of an open interacting system by solving the Generalized Kadanoff-Baym Ansatz (GKBA) master equation for the single-particle density matrix, namely the time-diagonal lesser Green function. To benchmark its validity, the solution obtained within the GKBA is compared with the solution of the Dyson equation at stationarity. In both approaches, the interaction is treated within the self-consistent second-order Born approximation, whereas the GKBA still retains the retarded propagator calculated at the Hartree-Fock and wide-band limit approximation level. The model chosen is that of two leads connected through a central correlated region where particles can interact and utilize the stationary particle current at the boundary of the junction as a probe of the spectral features of the system. The central region is chosen as the simplest model featuring a degenerate ground state with a flat band. The main result is that the solution of the GKBA master equation captures well the spectral feature of such system and specifically the transition from dispersionless to dispersive behavior of the flat-band as the interaction is increased. Therefore the GBKA solution retains the main spectral features of the self-energy used even when the propagator is at the Hartree-Fock level.

description: We have studied the shear and bulk viscosities of asymmetric nuclear matter in the mechanical and chemical instability region based on IBUU transport simulations in a box system. The Green-Kubo method is used to calculate these viscosities with a prepared dynamically equilibrated nuclear system with hot clusters. While the behavior of the shear viscosity is largely affected by energy-dependent nucleon-nucleon cross sections, the bulk viscosity increases significantly in the presence of nuclear clusters compared to that in uniform nuclear matter. Increasing isospin asymmetry generally increases both viscosities, while their behaviors are qualitatively modified once the isospin asymmetry is large enough to affect significantly the spinodal region. Our calculation shows that the bulk viscosity is more sensitive to the nuclear clustering than the shear viscosity, and is thus a robust quantity related to the phase diagram of asymmetric nuclear matter.

description: "Essays in Financial Economics" consists of two separate manuscripts related to financial asset pricing. In the first manuscript of the dissertation, "Time variability in market risk aversion," I adopt realized covariances to estimate the coefficient of risk aversion across portfolios and through time. This approach yields second moments that are not influenced by a specified model for expected returns. Supporting the permanent income hypothesis, I find risk aversion responds to consumption smoothing behavior. As income increases, or as the ratio of consumption to income falls, relative risk aversion decreases. I also document variation in risk aversion across portfolios: risk aversion is highest for small and value portfolios. In the second manuscript, "Emerging market contagion," I analyze hypotheses regarding the impact of emerging market crises on domestic portfolios. Based on liquidity shock and flight from risk hypotheses, I test for contagion effects from recent emerging market crises to domestic portfolios. From the hypotheses, contagion effects may vary across portfolios based on portfolio characteristics such as risk and liquidity. With size and book to market value as proxies for both risk and liquidity, I find support for the flight from risk hypothesis. Small stocks exhibit negative abnormal returns and mid to high book to market stocks exhibit increased sensitivity to world and emerging market stocks during crises. Safer stocks exhibit positive abnormal returns. I find little evidence of contagion at the market level, indicating studies that focus on national aggregates may miss important dynamics during crises.

Domestic Violence

description: This dissertation concerning the Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Team is an attempt to address the broad question regarding the use of collaborative processes to address wicked social problems. Can the specialized domestic violence team that putatively emphasizes active collaboration between law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, criminal victim advocates, and treatment providers be successfully implemented, endure, and change the process through which the wicked problem of domestic violence is addressed and cases of criminal offense are adjudicated? Between 1997 and the initiation of this study, the SRDVT's membership has been reconstituted a number of times. This study seeks to capture many perspectives of the coalition and its history by, in part, interviewing all of the present members and as many of the past members as possible of the various member organizations. Special attention has been given to the roles adopted by each of the participating agencies and the character of their relationships over time within the context of the SRDVT collaborative process. The aim of the study is to identify and document lessons learned from this case study with broader applicability to collaborating in anti-domestic violence consortiums generally. This study used the analytical model developed out of the Kellogg Foundation efforts to learn how empowerment, social ties, and synergy, when considered together, form a critical core set of proximal outcomes in the context of the SRDVT's long-term collaborative partnerships. Prior to the development of this experience-based ideal type model, neither the characteristics of the collaborative process nor the leadership and management practices that undergird these characteristics had been studied in relation to the SRDVT. The study used data from a survey administered to approximately 40 past and present members of the Spokane Regional Domestic Violence Team. The population receiving the survey consisted of the policy board members, law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, and community-based victim advocates. Unlike the majority of evaluations done on collaborative partnerships, which have focused primarily on their impact upon immediate manifest goals, the intent of this survey was to focus on the impact of the collaborative process in achieving those goals. The survey instrument developed on the basis of the experience of the Kellogg Foundation-funded public health collaborative partnerships is designed to measure the processes that achieve three proximal outcomes: individual empowerment, bridging social ties, and synergy.

description: We derive the first exact, rigorous but practical, globally valid remainder terms for asymptotic expansions about saddles and contour endpoints of arbitrary order degeneracy derived from the method of steepest descents. The exact remainder terms lead naturally to sharper novel asymptotic bounds for truncated expansions that are a significant improvement over the previous best existing bounds for quadratic saddles derived two decades ago. We also develop a comprehensive hyperasymptotic theory, whereby the remainder terms are iteratively re-expanded about adjacent saddle points to achieve better-than-exponential accuracy. By necessity of the degeneracy, the form of the hyperasymptotic expansions are more complicated than in the case of quadratic endpoints and saddles, and require generalisations of the hyperterminants derived in those cases. However we provide efficient methods to evaluate them, and we remove all possible ambiguities in their definition. We illustrate this approach for three different examples, providing all the necessary information for the practical implementation of the method.

description: This dissertation examines information use, attitude formation, and opinion expression concerning the U.S. military buildup on the island of Guam. This buildup involves the relocation of an estimated 8,500 U.S. Marine Corps personnel and 18,000 of their dependents and civilian support from Okinawa, Japan, to Guam. This dissertation investigates whether attention to information sources (local media, U.S. military officials, and U.S. politicians), perceived trustworthiness of information sources, colonial debt, and pro-local stances toward military presence influence attitudes toward the buildup; whether the perception that others' opinions regarding the buildup are congruent with one's own will be associated with willingness to express opinions on the buildup; whether conflict avoidance will negatively predict willingness to express opinions. Data from a pilot study were collected from a convenience sample ( N= 242) of Guam residents in August 2008. Final data for this dissertation was collected through a probability-based mail survey of registered voters on Guam (N= 319), administered during the summer of 2009. Results of the final 2009 mail survey showed that attention to information sources did not predict attitudes; trustworthiness of local media, trustworthiness of U.S. military officials/U.S. mainland politicians, and colonial debt were positively associated with pro-buildup attitudes; trustworthiness of U.S. military officials/U.S. mainland politicians and colonial debt were negatively associated with anti-buildup attitudes; pro-local stances toward military presence on Guam was positively associated with anti-buildup attitudes and negatively associated with pro-buildup attitudes and trustworthiness of U.S. military officials/U.S. mainland politicians; perceived congruence of opinions was positively associated with willingness to express opinions; conflict avoidance was negatively associated with willingness to express opinions. Conflict avoidance interacted with perceived congruence of opinions to predict willingness to express opinions. This dissertation ended by identifying conclusions, implications, and directions for future research.

description: Additional file 6. Overview of the relative fold changes of altered markers for gastric acid secretion in the bambermycin-supplemented and non-supplemented groups. The data are presented as fold changes in gene expression normalized to 3 reference genes and relative to control groups 1 and 4 (i.e. group 2-4 relative to group 1 and group 5-6 relative to group 4) which are considered as 1. The fold changes are shown as means with the standard error of the mean. Statistical differences were calculated using the non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis H test SPSS statistics 24®. A P-value lower than 0.05 is considered to be significant. Group 2 = 32 ppm bambermycin supplemented, non-H. suis infected group; group 3 = 64 ppm bambermycin supplemented, non-H. suis infected group; group 4 = H. suis-positive control group without bambermycin supplementation; group 5 = 32 ppm bambermycin supplemented, H. suis infected group; group 6 = 64 ppm bambermycin supplemented, H. suis infected group.
