How Judgments of Learning Can Create Illusions of Episodic Memory
(2014-05-09)
Metacognitive judgments made during learning derive from several types of information. These metacognitive cues often reflect intrinsic properties of the to-be-learned material, such as encoding fluency and processing ...
Optimal Design of a Multi-scale Ensemble System for Convective Scale Probabilistic Forecasts: Data Assimilation and Initial Condition Perturbation Methods
(2014-12-12)
This dissertation research was undertaken to better understand the optimal design of convection-permitting storm-scale ensemble forecast (SSEF) systems that resolve features ranging from synoptic to convective scales. The ...
The International Corporate Tax Competition: How Do Countries Interact With Each Other
(2014)
Corporate tax rates have been significantly decreased, especially in the OECD countries in the past thirty years. In 1980, the average federal level corporate top statutory tax rate in the OECD countries was 42.35%, and ...
Reservation Limits: American Indian Urbanization and Uplift in the Twentieth Century
(2014-04-30)
This dissertation takes a macro view of American Indian urbanization and off-reservation employment across the twentieth century, and does so through a wide-angle lens that is not tribe or destination specific. While the ...
THE EFFECT OF A 12-WEEK THEORY BASED INTERVENTION ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL, SEDENTARY TIME, EXERCISE SELF- EFFICACY, PERCEIVED BARRIERS TO EXERCISE, AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISKS
(2014-05)
Purpose: The study assessed the impact of a 12-week walking intervention on physical activity (PA) level, sedentary time (ST), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks among inactive adults with dyslipidemia. Methods: Faculty ...
THE CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATORS FOR SWIMMING AND SCRATCHING ARE PARTLY SHARED OR INTERACT AT THE INTERNEURONAL LEVEL IN ADULT TURTLES.
(2014-12)
Distinct rhythmic behaviors involving a common set of motoneurons and muscles can be generated by separate central nervous system networks, a single network, or partly overlapping networks in invertebrates. Less is known ...
A Proposed Model of Jazz Theory Knowledge Acquisition
(Journal of Research in Music Education, 2014-10-01)
The purpose of this study was to test a hypothesized model that proposes a causal relationship between motivation and academic achievement on the acquisition of jazz theory knowledge. A reliability analysis of the latent ...
Understanding Catalytic Strategies for Bio-oil Upgrading: Model Compound Studies
(2014-08-15)
In light of the awareness about climate change and the role that non-renewable sources of energy have had on this issue, there has been a notable effort in the last decades to develop alternative sources of energy. Conversion ...
Radiatively-driven Natural Supersymmetry
(2014-08-15)
Within the framework of supersymmetric theories, a question arises: how can the W, Z, and h masses be so low (∼ 100 GeV) when the superpartner masses are so high (mSUSY > 1−2 TeV)? This is the little hierarchy problem, and ...
FRAMEWORK FOR IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF PROTOCOLS FOR READING RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION TAGS
(2014-12-12)
Radio-frequency Identification (RFID) is a highly sought-after wireless technology used to track and manage inventory in the supply chain industry. It has varied applications ranging from automated toll collection and ...
