Celebrity fandom and its relationship to tourism and leisure behaviors: the case of Korean wave
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation research was conducted to help understand this under-researched area particularly in the field of leisure and tourism. It is argued in this study that the celebrity fandom is a novel form of leisure/tourism ...
A study of leadership in the implementation of an online curriculum management system
(2009-06-02)
Researchers have indicated that innovations in schools
often do not have the intended impact leaders hope to see
when implementation occurs. Reasons cited for this failure
include time allotted for the change to occur, ...
Implicit Runge-Kutta Methods to Simulate Unsteady Incompressible Flows
(2009-05-15)
A numerical method (SIMPLE DIRK Method) for unsteady incompressible
viscous flow simulation is presented. The proposed method can be used to achieve
arbitrarily high order of accuracy in time-discretization which is otherwise ...
Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Combined Convective Radiative Heat Transfer in Rectangular Channels
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation presents a numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow and
heat transfer in a channel with a backward-facing step. Flow was considered to be steady,
incompressible, and laminar. The flow medium was ...
An Analysis of International Energy Conservation Code (IECC)-Compliant Single-Family Residential Energy Use
(2009-06-02)
In 2001, the Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 5 to reduce ozone levels by encouraging
the reduction of emissions of NOx that were not regulated by the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission, including point ...
Imitative sequel writing: divine breathings, second part of the Pilgrim's Progress, and the case of T. S. (aka Thomas Sherman)
(2009-06-02)
During the period between 1640 and 1700, over forty works were produced by authors identifying themselves as “T. S.” In the field of early modern literary studies, one T. S. has been particularly important to scholars ...
An examination of the use of repair strategies of elementary English as a second language (ESL) students
(2009-05-15)
The primary purpose of this study was to explore conversational repair strategies employed by elementary level ESL students in their classroom. This study investigated repair strategies that were employed by ESL students ...
A study of sand-asphalt mixtures: a constitutive model based on a thermomechanical framework and experimental corroboration
(2009-06-02)
Asphalt bound mixtures have been put to diverse uses. The complicated nature of
the material and the demanding conditions under which it is used preclude complete
solutions to questions on load bearing capability under ...
The Creation of a Courtyard Microclimate Thermal Model for the Analysis of Courtyard Houses
(2009-05-15)
This research is an effort to revive the use of courtyard housing clusters in a modern
context, which were traditionally known for their distinctive passive cooling
performance. The goal is to promote energy efficient ...
Characteristics of cooperative spontaneous radiation with applications to atom microscopy and coherent XUV radiation generation
(2009-05-15)
Cooperative effect in the radiation process has been studied in for more than half a
century. It is important in the sense of both basic physics and applied science.
In this work, we study the dynamics of the cooperative ...
