    • "We're Definitely on Our Own": Interaction and Disconnection in a Virtual High School

    • Hawkins, Abigail

    • Using mixed methods, this study examined the nature of teacher-student interaction in an asynchronous, statewide, self-paced virtual high school. Eight teachers were interviewed to understand their perceptions on the nature of interactions and...



    • 'Truth Begins In Lies': The Paradoxes Of Western Society In House M.D.

    • Hagey, Jason A.

    • The core of House M.D. is its assertion that current Western civilization lives in a perpetual state of dissonance: we desire to have the rawness of emotion but we can only handle this rawness when we combine it with intellect, even if that...



    • "Freely Ye Have Received, Freely Give" (Matthew 10:8): How Giving Away Religious Digital Books Influences The Print Sales of Those Books

    • Hilton, John L 1977-

    • Lack of access prevents many from benefiting from educational resources. Digital technologies now enable educational resources, such as books, to be openly available to those with access to the Internet. This study examined the financial viability...



    • A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Free Throw Shooting Methods

    • May, Andrew J.

    • The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two free throw shooting methods, the Ed Palubinskas Method (PM) and the Free Shoot Method (FSM), and their ability to improve free throw shooting accuracy. The experimental group, using...



    • A Hybrid Bishop-Hill Model for Microstructure Sensitive Design

    • Takahashi, Ribeka

    • A method is presented for adapting the classical Bishop-Hill model to the requirements of elastic/yield-limited design in metals of arbitrary crystallographic texture. The proposed Hybrid Bishop-Hill (HBH) model, which will be applied to ductile...



    • A Method for Exploring Optimization Formulation Space in Conceptual Design

    • Curtis, Shane Keawe

    • Formulation space exploration is a new strategy for multiobjective optimization that facilitates both divergent searching and convergent optimization during the early stages of design. The formulation space is the union of all variable and design...



    • A Numerical Scheme for Mullins-Sekerka Flow in Three Space Dimensions

    • Brown, Sarah Marie 1973-

    • The Mullins-Sekerka problem, also called two-sided Hele-Shaw flow, arises in modeling a binary material with two stable concentration phases. A coarsening process occurs, and large particles grow while smaller particles eventually dissolve....




    • A Trophic State Analysis of Lakes in Yellowstone National Park

    • Melcher, Anthony Alexander

    • Eutrophication is of interest in the field of water quality. Eutrophic lakes, when used as sources for drinking water, can cause problems during the treatment process, for example algae blooms can clog filters, requiring more water and energy to be...



    • Agglomeration of Bed Particles in Low-Temperature Black Liquor Gasification

    • Woodruff, Mark A 1980-

    • The increasing concern for emissions and pollutants from power generation plants has increased the desire for and the study of biomass fuels. Biomass combustion produces less carbon monoxide as well as other greenhouse gases. Black liquor is a...



    • Automated Tool Design for Complex Free-Form Components

    • Foster, Kevin G 1979-

    • In today’s competitive manufacturing industries, companies strive to reduce manufacturing development costs and lead times in hopes of reducing costs and capturing more market share from early release of their new or redesigned products. Tooling...



    • Between the Camera and the Gun: The Problem of Epistemic Violence in Their Eyes Were Watching God

    • Rich, Katherine Ann

    • Since the 75th anniversary of the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane in 2003, a growing number of journalists and historians writing about the disaster have incorporated Zora Neale Hurston's 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God as part of the official...



    • Characteristics of Contemporary Gag Order Requests in Media Law Reporter Volumes 19 Through 33

    • Clark, Brad Leavitt 1977-

    • The conflict between the First Amendment and the Sixth Amendment is not new nor is it easily decipherable. Both amendments appear to have absolute priority, yet they appear to conflict (Erickson, 1977). The First Amendment declares unequivocally,...



    • Chemical Templating by AFM Tip-Directed Nano-Electrochemical Patterning

    • Nelson, Kyle A.

    • This work has examines the creation and use of chemical templates for nanocircuit and other nanodevice fabrication. Chemical templating can be useful in attachment, orientation and wiring of molecularly templated circuits. DNA origami provides a...



    • Compact Trench Based Bend and Splitter Devices for Silicon-on-Insulator Rib Waveguides

    • Qian, Yusheng 1978-

    • Bends and splitters are typically the fundamental limiting waveguide components in reducing the size of planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) based on waveguides that have a low core/clad refractive index contrast, such as silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib...



    • Computer-Based Instruction for Engineering Education in the Developing World

    • Singley, Bradford G 1982-

    • Although civil engineers continually develop new ways to solve problems involving water, energy, infrastructure and environmental sustainability, these innovations can take years – or even decades – to reach developing countries. ...



    • Development of a Strontium-87 Ion Interferometer

    • Erickson, Christopher Joseph

    • I present the construction of a low-velocity intense source (LVIS) of laser-cooled neutral strontium using permanent ring magnets. The LVIS consists of a magneto-optical trap from which cold strontium is extracted in a well-collimated beam. I also...



    • Development of an H-Alpha Index for the Detection of PMS Candidates in Young Open Clusters

    • Evanko, Liberty Rae 1976-

    • One phase of formation of medium- and low-mass stars is the optically visible phase known as the pre-main-sequence or PMS phase. In order to further the understanding of this phase, more of these PMS objects need to be identified and classified. ...



    • Effects of Computer-Based, Early-Reading Academic Learning Time on Early-Reading Achievement: A Dose-Response Approach

    • Heuston, Benjamin 1972-

    • Academic learning time (ALT) has long had the theoretical underpinnings sufficient to claim a causal relationship with academic achievement, but to this point empirical evidence has been lacking. This dearth of evidence has existed primarily due...



    • Effects of Spanwise and Discrete Disturbances on Separating Boundary Layers on Low Pressure Turbine Blades

    • Reimann, Daniel D 1978-

    • Flow measurements were made on two highly loaded, low pressure turbine blade configurations in a low-speed, linear cascade facility. The L1M blade has a design Zweifel coefficient of 1.34 with a peak cp near 47% cx (mid-loaded) and the Pack B...



    • Error Sensor Strategies for Active Noise Control and Active Acoustic Equalization in a Free Field

    • Chester, Ryan T 1979-

    • Several measurements may be used as error signals to determine how to appropriately control a sound field. These include pressure, particle velocity, energy density and intensity. In this thesis, numerical models are used to show which signals...
