Mexican american teachers tell their stories of success in the midst of a colonia
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of the study was to investigate how teachers at an elementary
campus located in the midst of a Colonia perceived their achieved academic recognition
when more rigorous federal and state standards seem to challenge ...
To enter and lead: renegotiating meanings of leadership and examining leadership theory of social power from the perspectives of African American women leaders in predominantly white organizations
(2009-05-15)
This qualitative, phenomenological study examined the leadership experiences of 10 African American women (AAW)--current or former leaders in predominantly white organizations--to gain an understanding of how well, or not, ...
Analysis of the Arabidopsis NAC gene superfamily in plant development
(2009-05-15)
There are a vast number of transcription factors that regulate plant growth and development. The NAC gene superfamily is one of the largest families of transcription factors in the plant kingdom. NAC gene expression profiles ...
Direct torque control of permanent magnet synchronous motors with non-sinusoidal back-EMF
(2009-05-15)
This work presents the direct torque control (DTC) techniques, implemented in
four- and six-switch inverter, for brushless dc (BLDC) motors with non-sinusoidal back-
EMF using two and three-phase conduction modes. First ...
One dimensional electron spin imaging for single spin detection and manipulation using a gradient field
(2009-05-15)
The ability to resolve molecules individually has many potential applications.
These include understanding the local environments of single molecules including
details of their interactions with surroundings. The ability ...
Solution-mediated strategies for synthesizing metal oxides, borates and phosphides using nanocrystals as reactive precursors
(2009-05-15)
Because of their high surface area (and hence, increased reactivity) nanocrystals can be used as reactive precursors in the low-temperature synthesis of solid state materials. When nanocrystals are used as reactants, the ...
Domestic Titus
(2009-05-15)
Critical examinations of William Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus almost always
occlude questions of the domestic. Yet, a major portion of the play’s action takes place
in a house and the methods of the characters’ revenge ...
On countermeasures of worm attacks over the Internet
(2009-05-15)
Worm attacks have always been considered dangerous threats to the Internet since they can
infect a large number of computers and consequently cause large-scale service disruptions and
damage. Thus, research on modeling ...
Genetic analysis of equine 2', 5'-oligoadenylate synthetase (OASI) and ribonculclease L (RNASEL) polymorphims and association to severe West Nile Virus disease
(2009-05-15)
West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family of RNA viruses,
was first introduced to the United States in 1999 with rapid transmission across a variety
of hosts throughout the continental states. Genetic ...
Description of isoscalar giant dipole resonance in nuclei
(2009-05-15)
Applicability of the Hartree-Fock (HF) based random phase approximation (RPA) with
several Skyrme effective interactions to the description of the isoscalar giant monopole
(ISGMR) and the isoscalar giant dipole resonance ...
