A Systematic Investigation of Shear Connections Between Full-Depth Precast Panels and Precast Prestressed Bridge Girders
(2010-07-14)
Full-depth precast panels are used in concrete bridges to provide several benefits
such as faster construction, lower cost and reduced constructional hazard. However, one
construction drawback is that connectors are required ...
Preschool English Language Learners with Disabilities: A Comparison of Recommended and Actual Language of Instruction Practices
(2010-07-14)
This study investigated, through survey methodology, the instructional practices
of teachers of English Language Learners (ELLs) with disabilities in Preschool
Programs for Children with Disabilities (PPCD). These practices ...

Influence of Biomechanical Constraints on Endpoint Control, Interlimb Coordination and Learning
(2010-07-14)
A number of movements produced in everyday life require not only coordination of joints within a limb, but also coordination between one or more limbs. The aim of this dissertation was to examine the influence of biomechanical ...
A Generalized Cohesive Zone Model of Peel Test for Pressure Sensitive Adhesives
(2010-01-16)
The peel test is a commonly used testing method for adhesive strength evaluation. The test involves peeling a pressure sensitive tape away from a substrate and measuring the peel force that is applied to rupture the adhesive ...
Understanding Participation in Wildlife Conservation Programs on Private Lands
(2010-01-14)
One major lesson derived from the implementation of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) over the past 30 years is that direct regulation is not the only nor the optimal
way to protect endangered species on working lands because ...
On Orbits of Operators on Hilbert Space
(2010-10-12)
In this dissertation we treat some problems about possible density of orbits for
non-hypercyclic operators and we enlarge the class of known non-orbit-transitive operators.
One of the questions related to hypercyclic ...
