An interpretation of the nature of the relationship between proximal and distal motor development in infants
(Boston University, 1988)The principle of proximo-distal direction of motor development is investigated in this study. Treatment of motor dysfunction has often been based upon the assumption that development occurs first in proximal muscle groups ... -
Characterization of site-directed monoclonal and polyclonal antipeptide antibodies to human estrogen receptor
(Boston University, 1994)Monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies were developed against a synthetic peptide derived from a sequence in the A/B transactivation domain (residues 140-154) of the human estrogen receptor (hER). These antibodies were ... -
Effective reliability of mother/child interaction assessment in 9 month old children
(Boston University, 1994)Judgment methodology was employed to provide a qualitative description of mother/child interaction during infant play. Videoclips of 40 9-month-old infants in a free play situation with their mothers were rated by a panel ... -

Investigations of finite temperature effective potentials and fractional statistics in 2+1 dimensions
(Boston University, 1994)In the first part of this thesis, I describe how to obtain a consistent high-temperature approximation for the effective potential which is used to investigate temperature induced phase transitions in quantum field theories. ... -
Migration evolves: the political economy of network process and form in Haiti, the U.S. and Canada
(Boston University, 1988)This study examines the evolution of the kin-based organization of Haitian migration to the U.S. and Canada during the Duvalier era. Using a model applicable to all migration, the study looks at two ways in which a hierarchy ... -
Bioinformatics analysis of small silencing RNAs
(Boston University, 2011)More than 180 genomes have been deciphered, however, much remains to be learned about how genes are regulated. Transcription factors harboring promoters and distal elements are known to activate or repress downstream gene ... -
Study of Gaussian processes, Lévy processes and infinitely divisible distributions
(Boston University, 2011)In this thesis, we study distribution functions and distributional-related quantities for various stochastic processes and probability distributions, including Gaussian processes, inverse Levy subordinators, Poisson ... -
Sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of women during a first pregnancy from a developmental perspective
(Boston University, 1988)This exploratory study of thirty-two women between the ages of seventeen and forty provides a description of sexuality during a first pregnancy using the conceptual framework of adult development based on Levinson's ...
