(2010)When he assumed management of the cotton manufactory at New Lanark, Scotland in 1800, Robert Owen (1771-1858) faced a population made up of employees of "ill-formed" character. Over the course of the next twenty-six years, ... -
The tricuspid valve: mechanics, microstructure, modeling, and simulation
(2022-08)The objectives of this research include: (1) experimentally characterizing the multi-scale properties of the tricuspid valve (TV) leaflets, (2) linking the mechanical and microstructural properties of the TV leaflets to ... -
TRILOBITE BIOFACIES, SYSTEMATICS AND FAUNAL TURNOVER IN A SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK DURING THE UPPER ORDOVICIAN OF OKLAHOMA AND VIRGINIA
(2012)In the Appalachian foreland basin of the eastern United States, major sedimentologic and geochemical changes occured during the Upper Ordovician (Sandbian-Katian). The modification of ocean circulation patterns, introduction ... -
TRILOBITE FAUNAS, SEDIMENTARY FACIES AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE UPPER ORDOVICIAN (SANDBIAN-KATIAN) SUCCESSION OF MISSOURI
(2015-05)The late Sandbian-Katian interval (Upper Ordovician) was a time of major environmental change across Laurentia with highest recorded sea levels of the Paleozoic. While sequence stratigraphy, environmental change and faunal ... -
Trilobites From a Cambrian Extinction Interval at the Base of the Steptoean, Riley Formation, Central Texas
(2018)The Riley Formation of central Texas provides the only record of Steptoean trilobites in the southern mid-continent region. The objective of this thesis is to document the faunal assemblages associated with the globally ... -
TriM: Tri-modal data communication in mobile ad-hoc network database systems.
(2003)The Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an emerging area of research in the network and database communities. A MANET is a group of self-organizing, autonomous clients and servers that form temporary networks. A MANET allows ... -

TRINOMIAL-TREE DISTRIBUTION OF A NONLINEAR POSITIVE STOCHASTIC INTEREST RATE MODEL WITH CONNECTIONS TO THE POTENTIAL APPROACH AND ITS APPLICATION TO COMPUTING CORPORATE DEFAULT RISK
(2013)In this dissertation, I consider a new nonlinear stochastic interest rate model that is adapted from a stochastic population growth model and exhibits the desirable properties of positivity of interest rates and mean ... -
A Tripartite Model of Group Identification: Theory and Measurement
(Small Group Research, 1999-10-01)Group identification is defined as member identification with an interacting group and is distinguished conceptually from social identity, cohesion, and common fate. Group identification is proposed to have three sources: ... -
TROPHIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STREAM AND TERRESTRIAL FOOD WEBS
(2010)Most animals have complex life histories (CLH) in which an individual's niche shifts through ontogeny. These organisms often cross habitat or ecosystem boundaries as they develop from larvae to adults, coupling energy ... -
Trophic spatial ecology of invertivorous stream fishes.
(2007)In Chapter 1, I studied the relationship between Bigeye Shiner populations and variables of habitat patches within the stream, and the land adjacent to the stream (the riparian zone). This work was done in Brier Creek, a ... -
Tropical climate stability, Hadley circulation, and deep cumulus convection: Vital synergism on a wet planet.
(2000)Important features of the proposed formulation for precipitating deep turbulent clouds include the ability to calculate precipitation efficiencies, a new postulation relating cumulus buoyancy to solar radiation, and the ... -
Tropospheric Polar Vortices and Impacts on Atmospheric Flow from the Arctic to the Mid-Latitudes using a New Global Modeling System
(2020-05-08)The observed rapid changes in the Arctic are important to quantify not only for understanding the region, but also for understanding how processes between the Arctic and lower latitudes can interact to culminate in high-impact ... -
The TRPA1 Ion Channel Contributes to Sensory-Guided Avoidance of Menthol in Mice
(2019-10-17)The flavoring agent menthol elicits complex orosensory and behavioral effects including perceived cooling at low concentrations and irritation and ingestive avoidance at higher intensities. Oral menthol engages the ... -
The Truman Administration and China, 1945-1950 :
(1980)Over the past several years the release of many new government documents made it necessary to take another look at the question. The initial intent in undertaking a survey of these documents was to determine more precisely ... -
