Response to intervention for behavioral concerns
(2011-05)
In response to the problems surrounding the discrepancy model, IDEA now allows response to intervention (RTI) as an alternative means to identify students with learning disabilities. In research a RTI approach has been ...
TrustNet: A trust and reputation management system in distributed environments
(2011-07)
With emerging Internet-scale open content and resource sharing, social networks, and complex cyber-physical systems, trust issues become prominent. Despite their rigorous foundations, conventional network security theories ...
Optimal application of swine effluent in Texas and Oklahoma panhandles determined by Bayesian stochastic dynamic programming
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study was to determine the most efficient time to apply swine effluent corn production in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle area. The effluent was assumed to be applied to a ...
Beyond accreditation: What defines a quality funeral service education program? An investigation of the relationship between educational correlates and program quality in funeral service education
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This study sought to determine what defines a quality funeral service education program beyond accreditation. The study examined the opinions of funeral service education chairs (N=45, representing ...
New techniques for clustering, selection of number of histogram bins, and estimation of quantiles of pairwise distances
(2011-12)
The emulation of Gestalt Laws was required for a proposed knowledge-based inference driven vision system. Emulating the Proximity gestalt law required a clustering technique that worked without: (a) the need for any input ...
Remote ruminal temperature monitoring in feedlot cattle: Effects of bovine respiratory disease, ruminal acidosis, and inclusion of dietary B-adrenergic agonists
(2011-07)
Ruminal temperature monitoring has potential as a useful tool to detect physiological changes in cattle resulting from illness and dietary changes. Heifer calves (n = 366, mean initial BW = 243 +/- 30 kg) were assigned to ...

Phenomenological model for fraction jetting on distillation sieve trays for multi-regime mass transfer modeling applications
(2011-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Predicting the fraction of the vapor transported as jets, or fraction jetting, on a distillation tray operating in the mixed-froth regime has several advantages. The fraction jetting model can ...
