A Monte Carlo Investigation of Three Different Estimation Methods in Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling Under Conditions of Data Nonnormality and Varied Sample Sizes
(2010-01-14)
The purpose of the study was to examine multilevel regression models in the context of multilevel structural equation modeling (SEM) in terms of accuracy of parameter estimates, standard errors, and fit indices in normal ...
Characterization of telomerase RNP in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2010-01-14)
Telomeres are critical for the integrity of eukaryotic genomes. They function to
protect chromosome ends from DNA damage surveillance and inappropriate repair.
Telomeres are maintained by the specialized ribonucleoprotein ...
Computations of Laminar Flow Control on Swept Wings as a Companion to Flight Test Research
(2010-01-14)
The high cost of energy has resulted in a renewed interest in the study of
reducing skin-friction drag in aeronautical applications. Laminar Flow Control
(LFC) refers to any technique which alters the basic-state flow-field ...
The Effect of Set Induction on student knowledge, attitude, and engagement levels of high school agricultural science students
(2010-01-14)
The purpose of this study was to determine if applying set induction to the
beginning of a lesson would have an effect on student knowledge, attitude, and/or
engagement levels throughout the lesson. Researchers addressed ...
Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Populations and Their Relationships to Dermo (Perkinsus marinus) Infection and Freshwater Inflows in West Matagorda Bay, Texas.
(2010-01-14)
The present study explored the spatial and temporal demographic trends in oyster population dynamics and their relationships to freshwater inflows and the pathogen Dermo (Perkinsus marinus) on three reefs (Shell, Mad Island, ...
Computational Study of Catalyzed Growth of Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
(2010-01-14)
A recently developed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis process called CoMoCAT yields single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)s of controlled diameter and chirality, making them extremely attractive for technological ...
Evaluation of the Thermal Performance for a Wire Mesh/Hollow Glass Microsphere Composite Structure as a Conduction Barrier
(2010-01-15)
An experimental investigation exploring the use of wire mesh/hollow glass
microsphere combination for use as thermal insulation was conducted with the aim to
conclude whether or not it represents a superior insulation ...
Racial and Ethnic Identities of Mexican-White Couples in Texas
(2010-11-03)
This thesis is a result of qualitative research conducted with individuals in
interracial, Mexican-White couples in Southeast, Texas. This study calls into question
the ways in which individuals in these relationships ...
Closed-loop Real-time Control of a Novel Linear Magnetostrictive Actuator
(2010-10-12)
This thesis presents the design of various closed-loop real-time control of a novel
linear magnetostrictive actuator. The novel linear magnetostrictive actuator which uses
Terfenol-D as the magnetostrictive material was ...
Thermally Induced Vibrations of a Solar Wing with Bowed STEM
(2010-11-30)
Storable Tubular Extendible Members (STEMs) are often used for deploying
spacecraft subsystems such as flexible solar cell blankets, like those used on Hubble
Telescope. Systems using long flexible appendages such as the ...
