A Philosophical, Qualitative, and Quantitative Examination of Transformational Leadership in Secondary Agricultural Education
(2011-08-08)
Leadership has been a foundational component of secondary agricultural education and teachers are recognized as the program leader; furthermore, agriculture teachers are expected to develop leadership in their students. ...
Integrated Reservoir Characterization: Offshore Louisiana, Grand Isle Blocks 32 & 33
(2011-08-08)
This thesis integrated geology, geophysics, and petroleum engineering data to build a detailed reservoir characterization models for three gas pay sands in the Grand Isle 33 & 43 fields, offshore Louisiana. The reservoirs ...
Parametric Excitation of a DWSC
(2011-08-08)
Parametric excitation of the DWSC (Deep Water Stable Craneship) is studied in this thesis. It occurs for a system without any external forcing, when one of the coefficients in the equation of motion (EOM) modeling the ...
Rheology of Model Nanoparticle Suspensions in Epoxy
(2013-12-11)
The rheology and linear viscoelasticity of several model nanoparticle suspensions in epoxy have been systematically investigated. Three detailed studies were carried using α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoplatelets as model ...
Hp-spectral Methods for Structural Mechanics and Fluid Dynamics Problems
(2011-08-08)
We consider the usage of higher order spectral element methods for the solution of
problems in structures and fluid mechanics areas. In structures applications we study
different beam theories, with mixed and displacement ...
Characterization of Individual Nanoparticles and Applications of Nanoparticles in Mass Spectrometry
(2011-08-08)
The chemical characterization of individual nanoparticles (NPs) </= 100 nm in diameter is one of the current frontiers in analytical chemistry. We present here, a methodology for the characterization of individual NPs by ...
An Examination of the Family in “The Tale of Sir Gareth”
(2011-08-08)
Malory's Le Morte Darthur has become one of the most popular medieval romances, and it has remained continually in print since Caxton's 1485 edition. The "noble chyvalrye, curtosye, humanyté, frendlynesse, hardynesse, ...
Analysis of Precipitation Using Satellite Observations and Comparisons with Global Climate Models
(2011-08-08)
In this study, the space-time relationship of precipitation fields is examined by testing the Taylor's "frozen field" hypothesis (TH). Specifically, the hypothesis supposes that if a spatio-temporal precipitation field ...
Laboratory Study to Identify the Impact of Fracture Design Parameters over the Final Fracture Conductivity Using the Dynamic Fracture Conductivity Test Procedure
(2011-08-08)
This investigation carried out the analysis of fracture conductivity in a tight reservoir using laboratory experiments, by applying the procedure known as the dynamic fracture conductivity test. Considering the large number ...
Mental Agency and Attributionist (or "Real Self") Accounts of Moral Responsibility
(2011-08-08)
Recently a number of philosophers have begun to promote what are broadly referred to as attributionist or real self views of moral responsibility. According these views a person is responsible for a thing just in case it ...
