Dual Coding Theory and Chinese: Recall of Concrete and Abstract Sentences in Chinese-English Bilinguals
(2010-10-12)
Theories of reading have seldom been examined across orthographies. In the
present study, Dual Coding Theory (DCT), a general theory of cognition applied to
literacy, was applied to Chinese sentences to investigate the ...
High-silica zeolite nucleation from clear solutions
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Understanding the mechanism of zeolite nucleation and crystallization will
enable the zeolite science community to tune zeolite properties during synthesis in
order to accommodate the purposes of various applications. Thus ...
A Climatology of Tropical Anvil and Its Relationship to the Large-Scale Circulation
(2011-02-22)
This dissertation uses multiple tools to investigate tropical anvil, i.e., thick, non-precipitating cloud associated with deep convection with the main objectives to provide a climatology of tropics-wide anvil properties ...
Sequence stratigraphic controls of hydrocarbon reservoir architecture - case study of Late Permian (Guadalupian) Queen Formation, Means Field, Andrews County, Texas.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The late Permian Queen Formation (115 m thick) is a succession of mixed clastics, carbonates and evaporites deposited in the northeastern margin of Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin, west Texas, USA. Depositional ...
Blood and water; the archaeological excavation and historical analysis of the Wreck of the Industry, a North-American transport sloop chartered by the British army at the end of the Seven Years' War: British colonial navigation and trade to supply Spanish Florida in the eighteenth century
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In the 10-mer RNA duplex model system a 4-isocyano TEMPO spin-label is individually attached to one strand and two strands are annealed to measure distances. This methodology is limited to systems in which two oligonucleotides ...
Quality of supervisor-subordinate relationship, cultural values, and organizational justice
(2009-05-15)
Organizational justice literature indicates that high quality relationships will
result in more favorable treatment of the individual. However, little has been done
regarding how relationships with the supervisor (i.e., ...
“STOP EATING…CLEAN YOUR PLATE!”: THE EFFECTS OF PARENTAL CONTROL OF FOOD CONSUMPTION DURING CHILDHOOD ON COLLEGE FEMALES' EATING BEHAVIOR
(2010-07-14)
The immediate effect of maternal control of their
daughter's eating is well documented. However, the longterm
effect of both maternal and paternal control of eating
during childhood on adults' current eating attitudes ...
Covariant Weyl quantization, symbolic calculus, and the product formula
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A covariant Wigner-Weyl quantization formalism on the manifold that uses
pseudo-differential operators is proposed. The asymptotic product formula that leads
to the symbol calculus in the presence of gauge and gravitational ...
Mesoscale ensemble-based data assimilation and parameter estimation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The performance of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) in forced, dissipative
flow under imperfect model conditions is investigated through simultaneous state and
parameter estimation where the source of model error is the ...
A tribological and biomimetic study of potential bone joint repair materials
(2009-05-15)
This research investigates materials for bone-joint failure repair using tribological and biomimicking approaches. The materials investigated represent three different repairing strategies. Refractory metals with and without ...
