Investigating the relationship between urban first and second grade classroom teachers' sense of efficacy for literacy instruction and the reading achievement of their highly mobile students
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This correlation design study investigated the relationship between urban first
and second grade classroom teachersâ sense of efficacy for literacy instruction and the
reading achievement of their highly mobile students. ...
GUT and standard-like models in intersecting D-brane worlds
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The main goal of string phenomenology is to find a convincing connection be-
tween realistic particle physics and string theory. An extended object called D-brane
in string theory is shown as a very powerful tool to resolve ...
Design of a novel conduction heating based stress-thermal cycling apparatus for composite materials and its utilization to characterize composite microcrack damage thresholds
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The objective of this research was to determine the effect of thermal cycling
combined with mechanical loading on the development of microcracks in M40J/PMR-II-
50, the second generation aerospace application material. The ...
Postcolonial analysis of educational research discourse: creating (Mexican) American children as the
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Research is a modern practice whose production of knowledge needs to be
critically and continually examined. The pursuit of knowledge is not a neutral and
objective endeavor; it is a socially situated practice that is ...
Characterization of maize testing locations in eastern and southern Africa
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The region of eastern and southern Africa is very diverse in environments and
agronomic practices. The region has one of the highest per capita consumption of maize (Zea
mays. L), which is predominantly produced by smallholder ...
Layout optimization in ultra deep submicron VLSI design
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
As fabrication technology keeps advancing, many deep submicron (DSM) effects have become
increasingly evident and can no longer be ignored in Very Large Scale Integration
(VLSI) design. In this dissertation, we study several ...
Relationship of technology level of progress to school district demographic variables
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
An exploratory study, using Texas public school district data, was conducted to
determine the relationship between each of two demographic characteristics, student
enrollment and the percentage of economically disadvantaged ...
Quantifying the parameters of successful agricultural producers
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The primary purpose of the study was to quantify the parameters of successful agricultural producers. Through the use of the Financial and Risk Management (FARM) Assistance database, this study evaluated economic measures ...
Two new, single-isomer, sulfated β-cyclodextrins for use as chiral resolving agents for enantiomer separations in capillary electrophoresis
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Two novel, single-isomer, sulfated cyclodextrins, the sodium salts of heptakis(2-
O-methyl-3-O-acetyl-6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose (HMAS) and heptakis(2-O-methyl-
6-O-sulfo)cyclomaltoheptaose (HMS) were used as chiral ...
Global existence of reaction-diffusion equations over multiple domains
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Systems of semilinear parabolic differential equations arise in the modelling of many chemical and biological systems. We consider m component systems of the form
ut = DΔu + f (t, x, u)
∂uk/∂η =0 k ...
