Attitudes and Perceptions of Texas Public Safety Training Officers Regarding the Effectiveness of the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
(2010-07-14)
This thesis sought to understand reasons for noncompliant respondents and ineffective leadership in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) by Texas public safety training officers. Research has been conducted on ...
Water Flow Through Geotextiles Used to Support the Root Zone of Turfgrass on Sports Fields
(2010-01-14)
A sports field construction method that uses a geotextile to support the root zone
atop a synthetic drainage structure is an alternative to the common design that uses
gravel drainage material to support the root zone. A ...
Fundamental Studies towards Transistion Metal Catalysis and Application of Chromium Salen Complexes for the Synthesis of Polymers
(2010-07-14)
?The body of this work spans both fundamental organometallic chemistry and the
application of previously studied catalyst systems to produce new polymeric materials.
The cone angle of triphenylphosphite was estimated ...
Characterization of Two-Photon Excitation: Coherent Control and Nonlinear Propagation in Transparent Media
(2010-10-12)
Coherent control of laser induced processes is based on the quantum
interference among multiple excitation pathways. Progress in the field has been fueled
by advances in pulse shaping techniques, allowing modulation of ...
Long Characteristic Method in Space and Time for Transport Problems
(2010-07-14)
Discretization and solving of the transport equation has been an area of great
research where many methods have been developed. Under the deterministic transport
methods, the method of characteristics, MOC, is one such ...
Center Manifold Analysis of Delayed Lienard Equation and Its Applications
(2010-01-14)
Lienard Equations serve as the elegant models for oscillating circuits. Motivated
by this fact, this thesis addresses the stability property of a class of delayed Lienard
equations. It shows the existence of the Hopf ...
Relating the Expression of Soil Redoximorphic Features to Soil Texture, pH, and Cation Exchange Capacity
(2010-01-14)
Three laboratory studies were performed to elucidate the influence of soil
texture, pH, and cation exchange capacity (CEC) on the concentration of ferrous Fe in
soil solution and the resulting expression of soil redoximorphic ...
Etruscan Amphorae and Trade in the Western Mediterranean, 800-400 B.C.E.
(2010-01-16)
The Etruscans dominated central Italy from the eighth to the fifth centuries
B.C.E. Within this time, they maintained both direct and indirect trade networks with
other cultures. There are two categories of evidence that ...
Mathematical Modeling of Stress Fiber Reorganization Induced by Cyclic Stretch
(2010-01-14)
Arterial endothelial cells (ECs) are subjected to pulsatile strain due to pressure
changes in the cardiac cycle and this may play a significant role in vascular function in
health and disease. Further, ECs differentially ...
Immanuel Kant and T.H. Green on Emotions, Sympathy, and Morality
(2010-07-14)
In this work I investigate the role of emotion in the moral philosophies of
Immanuel Kant and T.H. Green. Noting Kant's reputation as a rationalist holding a
predominately negative view toward emotions, I studied the works ...
