Improving the Image, Identity, and Reputation of Urban School Systems
(2011-08-08)
This collective qualitative case study explores the ways American urban school districts engage in image management and reputation building activities to sustain their on-going organizational improvement efforts and maintain ...
Evaluation of Collector Well Configurations to Model Hydrodynamics in Riverbank Filtration and Groundwater Remediation
(2011-10-21)
Collector well designs are necessary to maximize groundwater uptake and riverbank filtration without negatively impacting an aquifer. Unfortunately, there is a lack of information and research regarding the implementation ...
Determination of Dose From Light Charged Ions Relevant to Hadron Therapy Using the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport System (PHITS)
(2011-10-21)
In conventional radiotherapy for tumor treatment, photons are used to impart an energetic dose inside a tumor with the goal of killing the cancerous cells. This process is intrinsically inefficient due to the fact that ...
Fluidic Tuning of a Four-Arm Spiral-Based Frequency Selective Surface
(2011-08-08)
Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) provide a variety of spatial filtering functions, such as band-pass or band-stop properties in a radome or other multilayer structure. This filtering is typically achieved through ...
A Classic Model in a Low Fertility Context: The Proximate Determinants of Fertility in South Korea and the United States
(2011-08-08)
John Bongaarts' proximate determinants model of fertility has accounted for over 90 percent of variation in the total fertility rate (TFR) of primarily developing nations and historical populations. Recently, dramatically ...
Discrete Event Model Development of Pilot Plant Scale Microalgae Facilities: An Analysis of Productivity and Costs
(2011-10-21)
America's reliance on foreign oil has raised economic and national security issues, and in turn the U.S. has been active in reducing its dependence on foreign oil to mitigate these issues. Also, the U.S. Navy has been ...
An On-Target Performic Acid Oxidation Method Suitable for Disulfide Bond Elucidation Using Capillary Electrophoresis - Mass Spectrometry
(2011-08-08)
Disulfide bonds play important roles in establishing and stabilizing three-dimensional
protein structure, and mass spectrometry (MS) has become the primary
detection method to decipher their biological and pathological ...
Learning from Misunderstanding: The Application of Hermeneutics in the University
(2011-10-21)
In this thesis I examine the rectoral address of both Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer to articulate their vision of education as well as the role the university
plays in this vision. As a student of Heidegger, ...
Optimizing Development Strategies to Increase Reserves in Unconventional Gas Reservoirs
(2011-10-21)
The ever increasing energy demand brings about widespread interest to rapidly,
profitably and efficiently develop unconventional resources, among which tight gas
sands hold a significant portion. However, optimization of ...
A Study of Prospective Mathematics Teachers' Knowledge Development and Beliefs Changes for Teaching Fraction Division
(2011-08-08)
The purpose of this study is to examine prospective mathematics teachers'
knowledge development and beliefs changes for teaching fraction division through the
undergraduate mathematics method course to the field practice. ...
