The Impact of Social Space Design on Students’ Behavioral Problems in Middle Schools
(2011-08-08)
This study examined the impact of social space design on student behavioral problems in middle schools. A mixed-method approach was used in the form of focus groups and surveys with teachers and students from four central ...
Historical Changes and Trendsin Livestock Numbers Across Ecoregions in Texas
(2011-08-08)
Historically, rangelands were managed to reduce brush and increase livestock grazing habitat. As with much of the southwestern United States, the seemingly endless ―free grass‖ of Texas rangelands was overgrazed during the ...
EFFICIENT PRICING IN ELECTRICITY MARKETS: WHO IS ON REAL-TIME PRICING
(2011-08-08)
When prices are set properly, they serve as important signals to guide customers to consume the efficient quantity of a good. However, in electricity markets many consumers do not pay prices that reflect the scarcity of ...
Semi-Permeable Microcapsules for Use in Fluorescence-Based Glucose Sensing
(2011-08-08)
Due to the pain associated with conventional blood sugar monitoring techniques and the rising prevalence of diabetes, the development of noninvasive glucose sensing techniques is desirable. Towards this aim, implantable ...
Characterizing Shared Memory Multiprocessor Benchmarks for Future Chip Multiprocessor Architectures Using Instruction Flow Analysis
(2011-08-08)
For forty years, transistor counts on integrated circuits have doubled roughly every two years, enabling computer architects to double the clock speed of processors. Recently, heat dissipation and power consumption trends ...
