(2010)
The problem of induction--the problem of how one can justify an inference from observations of some things of a type to a generalization about all (or most) things of the type--is one of the most important in logic and ...
Mathematical modeling and ultrasonic measurement of shale anisotropy and a comparison of upscaling methods from sonic to seismic.
(2007)
The theoretical understanding of the effective media modeling is used to model Barnett Shale, which is one of the largest natural gas plays in the World. After the estimation of mineralogical assemblage using FTIR- and XRD ...
Understanding the Features and Mechanisms of the Great Plains Low-Level Jet in CMIP5 Models
(2016-12)
The Great Plains low-level jet (GPLLJ) is an important driver of precipitation and severe weather outbreaks over the U.S. Great Plains during the spring and summer. Therefore, it is extremely important that features of the ...
An Examination of the Relationship Between Digital Literacy and Student Achievement in Texas Elementary Schools
(2009)
The proponents of digital literacy have been advocating its use in our schools and classrooms for a number of years. However, the empirical evidence on the impact of digital literacy on teaching and learning is nearly ...
DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF AN ADVANCED REGIONAL AND GLOBAL HYDROLOGICAL PREDICTION SYSTEM ENABLED BY SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING, NUMERICAL WEATHER FORECASTING, AND ENSEMBLE DATA ASSIMILATION
(2013-12)
This dissertation advanced the traditional hydrological prediction via multi-sensor satellite remote sensing products, numerical weather forecasts and advanced data assimilation approach in sparsely gauged or even ungauged ...
Effects of Insecticides on Postmortem Interval: Implications on Forensic Investigations
(2011)
Postmortem interval (PMI) is the length of time that occurs between death of a person and the subsequent discovery of the body. PMI can be determined in a variety of ways depending on how long the body has been exposed ...
Reimagining Advanced Placement World History: When Teaching More Of The Same Is No Longer Enough
(2016-12)
This paper was designed as a way to document my personal growth as I explored ways to honor my identity as an educator while still navigating institutional and societal expectations regarding the meanings and methods of ...
Examination of Clock and Adcyap1 gene variation in a neotropical migratory passerine
(2018-01-11)
Complex behavioral traits, such as those making up a migratory phenotype, are regulated by multiple environmental factors and multiple genes. We investigated possible relationships between microsatellite variation at two ...
EXAMINING THE MEASUREMENT INVARIANCE OF THE TRANSITION ASSESSMENT AND GOAL GENERATOR ACROSS PERCENT OF TIME SPENT IN GENERAL EDUCATION
(2013-12)
Federal law mandates that educators use transition assessment data when they develop their students with disabilities’ IEP transition plans. Transition assessments typically provide scores for educators to include in ...
Surface thermodynamic characteristics of hook echoes and rear-flank downdrafts, with implications for tornado genesis and maintenance.
(2000)
Since its first documentation in 1953, the "hook echo" has been perhaps the best-recognized radar feature of supercell storms. Hook echoes have been associated with a region of subsiding air to the rear of both tornadic ...
