Science in the American Style, 1700 - 1800
(2009)
Science formed an important element of Anglo-American life throughout the eighteenth century, and not only for the colonial elite. In both private and public realms, in commercial as well as social settings, eighteenth-century ...

(2000)
This dissertation treats televised presidential debates as a mirror of culture. However, the study sees the televised presidential debate as a traditionally Western or American political event. The televised presidential ...
Volunteers in our classrooms: Their beliefs about literacy and literacy learning.
(2000)
This study illustrates a range of beliefs about literacy and literacy learning. Schools who would make use of these volunteers need to be aware that when they ask an untrained volunteer to complement classroom instruction ...
SELECTED FACTORS RELATED TO PERCEIVED LEGITIMACY OF MANAGEMENT INNOVATIONS AND THE SUBSEQUENT ADOPTION OF MANAGEMENT INNOVATIONS IN HIGHER EDUCATION
(2009)
In 2001, Richard Birnbaum observed that management innovations, when introduced to higher education via the business sector, followed a lifecycle that led to rejection of the management innovation. The purpose of this study ...
Analysis of fractal frictional contact in machining
(Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part B: Journal of Engineering Manufacture, 2007-07-01)
A model of the interfacial frictional conditions at the secondary shear zone in oblique cutting is under development. It has been suggested that the tool-chip interface consists of sticking and sliding microcontacts, each ...
Many-body dimensional perturbation theory for quantum confined systems with a focus on atomic gas Bose-Einstein condensates.
(2003)
Feshbach resonances notwithstanding, most experimentally realized atomic-vapor condensates are dilute and are best described by the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. For this reason, we use dimensional scaling methods ...
Leveraging Group Knowledge: The Effects of Collaborative Technology Appropriation on Group Outcomes
(2009)
Organizations are increasingly relying upon groups aided by information technology to complete tasks requiring coordinated action and knowledge sharing (Jehn and Mannix, 2001; Sarker et al., 2002). As such, the importance ...
Predicting subjective workload ratings: A comparison and synthesis of theoretical models.
(2005)
Output data from a computer simulation of two air traffic control (ATC) scenarios were fit to workload ratings that ATC subject matter experts provided while observing each scenario in real time. Simulation output enabled ...
Not for men only: The (de)-construction of lesbian/queer public sexualities.
(2005)
This research study is an exploration of women's sexuality in general and lesbian/queer women's sexuality in particular. There has been little done in terms of examining women's sexuality and sexual practices, especially ...
Deconvolution and quantitation of severely overlapped chromatographic peaks using high performance liquid chromatography with multi-channel electrochemical detection.
(2005)
The chemometric approaches employing two-dimensional time-response information were a bit more reliable in providing accurate outcomes. Each of the PCR, PLS, and SIMPLS approaches accurately predicted with 95% certainty ...
