"In silence I struggle": Voices of South Vietnamese living in America.
(2004)
Almost thirty years after the fall of South Vietnam, Vietnamese exiles living in America continue to struggle with their past, especially former political prisoners of the reeducation camps and their families. This ...
Visualizing Chemical Concepts at the Particulate Level
(2009)
This study investigated the effectiveness of computer animations that simulate laboratory experiments at the microscopic level in general chemistry. The experimental group did simulation activities that focused on the ...
Characterizing components of uncertainty in hydrologic modeling using an ensemble approach.
(2003)
In hydrologic modeling, uncertainties are known to reside in model inputs, i.e., rainfall estimates, model parameters, observations of streamflow, and in some cases in the model structure itself. Estimation of the total ...
Pressuremeter and cone penetrometer testing in a calibration chamber with unsaturated Minco Silt.
(2005)
The focus of this study is to investigate the influence of matric suction (&psgr; ) on PMT and CPT results by conducting miniature pressuremeter (MPMT) and miniature cone penetrometer (MCPT) testing in a calibration chamber ...
The built environment as communication: Totality, alterity, and dissociation in urban and suburban spaces.
(2003)
This study of the contemporary American built environment works applies several concepts in a semiotic study aimed at understanding the values presented in the built environment. In particular Kramer's theory of dissociation, ...
A history of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, 1957--2000.
(2001)
*The dissertation includes a CD that is compound (contains both a paper copy and a CD as part of the dissertation).
A Survey of Learning Styles of Engineering Students
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2003-10-01)
This study examined the learning styles of engineering students using the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) developed by Soloman and Felder (Soloman & Felder, 2002), the Cognitive Styles Analysis (CSA) developed by Riding ...
Testing and modeling of unsaturated interfaces.
(2005)
A conventional fully automated direct shear test device was modified to achieve the objectives of this study. The newly developed device, called the Unsaturated Interface Direct Shear Apparatus (UIDSA), was equipped for ...
External debt and growth of developing countries.
(2001)
This dissertation is an exploratory study of the effect of external debt on growth of (debtor) developing countries. The model developed for estimation is based on neoclassical growth theory. In particular, the Solow-Swan-Ramsey ...
