Scale Effects in Crystal Plasticity
(2010-07-14)
The goal of this research work is to further the understanding of crystal plasticity,
particularly at reduced structural and material length scales. Fundamental
understanding of plasticity is central to various challenges ...

(2010-10-12)
For individuals and organizations, the events of the past shape and affect the
decisions made in the present, to the benefit or detriment of the person or group.
Historical research can make available information about the ...
Why did the professor cross the road? How and why college professors intentionally use humor in their classrooms
(2010-07-14)
College professors face many pressing challenges: staying current in their disciplines, becoming familiar with new technology, responding to national accountability issues, publishing scholarly research in their fields, ...
Participants' Perspectives of Training Experiences: An Exploratory Qualitative Study
(2010-07-14)
Perceptions concerning training and development continue to appear in practitioner literature; however, the fact that those perceptions are not explored in HRD literature is a problem. The purpose of this study was to ...
Chemisorption of Aromatic Compounds on Well-Defined Palladium Surfaces: Studies by Electron Spectroscopy and Electrochemistry
(2010-10-12)
The chemisorption of aromatic compounds, derivatized with different functional
groups, on well-defined Pd(111) surfaces was studied by a combination of Auger electron
spectroscopy (AES), low energy electron diffraction ...
Heterocyst Morphogenesis and Gene Expression in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120
(2010-10-12)
Many multicellular cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogen-fixing
heterocysts. During diazotrophic growth of the model organism Anabaena (Nostoc) sp.
strain PCC 7120, a regulated developmental pattern of single ...
Contribution of the Home Environment to Preschool Children's Emergent Literacy Skills
(2010-10-12)
Recent and ongoing research has demonstrated the alarming likelihood of children from low-income homes and from ethnic minorities to read at much lower reading levels than their peers. Additionally, reading ability is ...
Characterization of the Influence of a Favorable Pressure Gradient on the Basic Structure of a Mach 5.0 High Reynolds Number Supersonic Turbulent Boundary Layer
(2010-10-12)
High-speed high Reynolds number boundary layer flows with mechanical non-equilibrium effects have numerous practical applications; examples include access-to-space ascent, re-entry and descent, and military hypersonic ...
The Influence of the Superintendent of Schools on Student Academic Performance
(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this study was to model, through structural equation modeling techniques, the relationships among superintendent practices of collaborative goal-setting , establishment of nonnegotiable goals for achievement ...
String Phenomenology in the Era of LHC
(2010-10-12)
The low-energy supersymmetry phenomenology for specific classes of string compactifications is investigated given that the low-energy physics may provide a clue as
to the structure of the fundamental theory at high energy ...
