Experimental Studies of Cesium Rydberg Atom Pair Interactions
(2009)
This thesis describes experimental studies of Rydberg atom pair interactions. A new technique is described that combines trapping of ultracold Cesium atoms with Rydberg tagging time-of-flight spectroscopy to attain a ...
Academic Engagement in Alternative Education Settings
(2009)
Self Determination Theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) and related subtheories provided a theoretical framework for identifying important motivational factors contributing to the academic engagement of academically at risk students ...
Clergypersons' Experience of Visiting Church Members in Pain: An Analysis in Terms of the Relational Theory of Pain and Implications for Pain Education and the UCC
(2009)
Using the methodology of narrative inquiry, the principal investigator traces, through her own narrative, the development and refinement of the relational theory of pain, a theory she postulated (Cunningham 1999). She ...
MBE GROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Pb-SALT SEMICONDUCTORS FOR MID-INFRARED DETECTOR AND LASER APPLICATION
(2009)
IV-VI semiconductors grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on various substrates are extensively attractive for mid-infrared optoelectronic device application. The main goal of this research is to improve device performance ...
LARGENESS OF GRAPHS OF ABELIAN GROUPS
(2009)
A group is said to be large if it contains a finite index subgroup which maps
FORMATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF TRIGLYCERIDE MICROEMULSIONS USING EXTENDED SURFACTANTS
(2009)
Triglycerides are among the most challenging oils to microemulsify due to their unique structure of a bulky polar ester head and three long hydrocarbon chains. Among the published work on triglyceride microemulsions, the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Turbulent heat transport in plane channel flow and plane Couette flow using direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking
(2009)
Turbulent flows in plane channel and plane Couette are investigated using a direct numerical simulation in conjunction with Lagrangian scalar tracking of trajectories of thermal markers. The flow is for an incompressible ...
