Flow-topography interactions, particle transport and plankton dynamics at the Flower Garden Banks: a modeling study
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Flow disruption resulting from interactions between currents and abrupt topography
can have important consequences for biological processes in the ocean. A highresolution
three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is used to ...
A longitudinal investigation of change in teacher efficacy and perceptions of leadership following participation in a technology integration program
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
A longitudinal study was conducted to investigate the relationship between
teachers perceptions of leadership capabilities and teachers efficacy beliefs in the
context of their participation in a technology integration ...
Behavioral mechanisms underlying the extinction of cocaine self-administration
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The aim of the present series of experiments was to outline the influence of
different doses of cocaine during training, training schedule, training length and
abstinence duration to modulate subsequent extinction and ...
Topics in genomic image processing
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The image processing methodologies that have been actively studied and developed
now play a very significant role in the flourishing biotechnology research. This work
studies, develops and implements several image processing ...
Effects of head-up tilt on mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and regional cardiac output distribution in aging rats
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Many senescent individuals demonstrate an inability to regulate mean arterial
pressure (MAP) in response to standing or head-up tilt; however, whether this aging
effect is the result of depressed cardiac function or an ...
Development of a comprehensive reporting system for a school reform organization: The Accelerated Schools Project
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Given the conflicting research results on the effectiveness of whole-school
reform models (Nunnery, 1998; Stringfield & Herman, 1997; American Institutes for
Research, 1999; U.S. Department of Education, 2004), there is a ...
Semiparametric functional data analysis for longitudinal/clustered data: theory and application
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Semiparametric models play important roles in the field of biological statistics. In this dissertation, two types of semiparametic models are to be studied. One is the partially linear model, where the parametric ...
Technology adaptation and boundary management in bona fide virtual groups.
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In this research project composed of multiple case studies, I focused on how bona
fide virtual groups appropriated multiple media to facilitate group boundary construction
and boundary management, which are preconditions ...
Healing design: a phenomenological approach to the relation of the physical setting to positive social interaction in pediatric intensive care units in the United States and Turkey
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This study examines the impact of the physical setting in the care and healing process of hospitalized children, their families, and the caregivers in two selected pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in the U.S. and ...
Proportional and non-proportional transfer of movement sequences
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The ability of spatial transfer to occur in movement sequences is reflected upon in theoretical perspectives, but limited research has been done to verify to what extent spatial characteristics of a sequential learning ...
