Co-teaching: Using the CO-ACT to Identify Quality Co-teach Practices and Predict Academic Outcomes for Students with Disabilities
(2012-02-14)
This research was designed to examine patterns related to quality of Co-teach implementation, as evidenced by Co-teacher responses to the Colorado Assessment of Co-teaching (CO-ACT), and the usefulness of the CO-ACT in ...
An Adaptive Angular Discretization Method for Neutral-Particle Transport in Three-Dimensional Geometries
(2012-02-14)
In this dissertation, we discuss an adaptive angular discretization scheme for
the neutral-particle transport equation in three dimensions. We mesh the direction
domain by dividing the faces of a regular octahedron into ...
Linearization and Efficiency Enhancement Techniques for RF and Baseband Analog Circuits
(2012-02-14)
High linearity transmitters and receivers should be used to efficiently utilize the available channel bandwidth. Power consumption is also a critical factor that determines the battery life of portable devices and wireless ...
Ion Crystals Produced by Laser and Sympathetic Cooling in a Linear RF Ion Trap
(2012-02-14)
A detailed investigation of ion crystals produced by laser and sympathetic cooling in a linear RF trap has been conducted.
The laser cooling methods were examined and applied to the trapped ^24Mg^(positive) ions. The ...
Contributions to an Improved Oxygen and Thermal Transport Model and Development of Fatigue Analysis Software for Asphalt Pavements
(2012-02-14)
Fatigue cracking is one primary distress in asphalt pavements, dominant
especially in later years of service. Prediction of mixture fatigue resistance is critical for
various applications, e.g., pavement design and ...
A Cognitive Phased Array Using Smart Phone Control
(2012-07-16)
Cognitive radio networks require the use of computational resources to reconfigure transmit/receive parameters to improve communication quality of service or efficiency. Recent emergence of smart phones has made these ...
A Beggar’s Ride: Tales From Within the Herd
(2012-02-14)
This story suite is a work of autobiographical fiction, a coming of age tale which uses a young girl’s relationship to horses—along with various people and places connected to the horse world—as its narrative theme. The ...
Institutions and Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Value Creation
(2012-02-14)
Cross-border Merger and Acquisitions (M&As) are an increasingly important strategy adopted by firms in order to create value in fiercely competitive global markets. Cross-border M&A value creation, that is, wealth creation ...
Characterization and Reaction Studies of Silica Supported Platinum and Rhodium Model Catalysts
(2012-02-14)
The physical and catalytic properties of silica supported platinum or rhodium model catalysts are studied under both ultra high vacuum (UHV) and elevated pressure reaction conditions (>1torr). Platinum or rhodium nanoparticles ...
Novel Nonlinear Optics and Quantum Optics Approaches for Ultrasound-Modulated Optical Tomography in Soft Biological Tissue
(2012-02-14)
Optical imaging of soft biological tissue is highly desirable since it is nonionizing and provides sensitive contrast information which enables the detection of physiological functions and abnormalities, including potentially ...
