Faculty and student out-of-classroom interaction: student perceptions of quality of interaction
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The purpose of this study was to identify ways in which students interact with faculty
members outside of the classroom and learn what students believe makes for high quality
interaction. Additionally, this study sought ...
The relationship between vertical teaming in science and student achievement as reported in the academic excellence indicator system (AEIS) at selected public schools in Bexar County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between vertical
teaming in science and student achievement. This study compared student achievement
of campuses implementing vertical teaming with schools that do ...
Phylogeny and biogeography of the mayfly family Leptohyphidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) with a taxonomic revision of selected genera
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
A cladistic analysis of the world genera of the mayfly family Leptohyphidae is
presented. Analyses of a matrix of 58 ingroup and 9 outgroup species and 119
morphological characters strongly supports the monophyly of ...
Streamline-based three-phase history matching
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Geologic models derived from static data alone typically fail to reproduce the
production history of a reservoir, thus the importance of reconciling simulation models
to the dynamic response of the reservoir. This necessity ...
An assessment of university instructors' and their pre-service teachers' knowledge of basic language constructs before and after university instructor professional development
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Reading is a basic skill for survival and those who have reading difficulties in early
grades continue to struggle in school and later in life. Previous studies have shown that
instructional procedures that incorporate ...
An investigation of the interpersonal sensitivity of selected secondary school principals as perceived by campus improvement teams
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
To anyone who wishes to work in educational administration, having a clear understanding of how one perceives others, how one is perceived, and how one interprets what one perceives is a great advantage in relating to many ...
Joint source channel coding for non-ergodic channels: the distortion signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) exponent perspective
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We study the problem of communicating a discrete time analog source over
a channel such that the resulting distortion is minimized. For ergodic channels,
Shannon showed that separate source and channel coding is optimal. ...
Collection, focusing, and metering of DNA in microchannels using addressable electrode arrays for portable low-power bioanalysis
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Although advances in microfluidic technology have enabled increasingly
sophisticated biosensing and bioassay operations to be performed at the microscale,
many of these applications employ such small amounts of charged ...
Products of representations of the symmetric group and non-commutative versions
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We construct a new operation among representations of the symmetric group that
interpolates between the classical internal and external products, which are defined in
terms of tensor product and induction of representations. ...
Impact of written emotional disclosure of trauma on laboratory induced pain
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This study was undertaken to determine whether written emotional disclosure of
trauma impacted capsaicin induced pain immediately after writing and at a one-month
follow-up, and the extent to which a lifetime history of ...
