Early numeracy intervention: Does quantity discrimination really work?
(2013-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The current study demonstrates that a taped problem intervention is an effective tool for increasing the early numeracy skill of QD. A taped problems intervention was used with two variations of ...
Nonparametric empirical likelihood density functionals estimation and applications
(2013-12)
Chapter 2 of this dissertation presents a nonparametric empirical likelihood estimation of kernel density functionals (ELKDFE), which are constructed based on a kernel density functional estimation (KDFE) and the concepts ...
Identification and characterization of natural compound inhibitors of the Hsp90 chaperone complex
(2013-07)
The 90 kDa Heat Shock Protein (Hsp90) has emerged as a major therapeutic target for a number of diseases, the most notable of which is cancer. Accordingly, many groups are attempting to develop small molecules that modulate ...
Development and optimization of glucose and ethanol production from Eastern redcedar
(2013-07)
The overall objective of this project was to develop and optimize a process to efficiently extract glucose from cellulose in Eastern redcedar and to demonstrate ethanol production at high efficiencies and titers. To ...
Looking back and moving forward: A mixed methods study of elementary science teacher preparation
(2013-07)
This study sought to understand how science learning experiences, and their potential influence, had on preservice elementary teachers' self-efficacy and perceptions of science teaching and learning at the beginning of ...
Circumventing ovicidal deficiencies of fumigants during postharvest fumigations
(2013-12)
Sulfuryl fluoride (SF) is an increasingly used methyl bromide alternative for postharvest disinfestation of United States-produced walnuts. However, eggs of several key walnut pests are not adequately controlled by this ...
Improved hydronic loop system solution algorithm with a zone-coupled horizontal ground heat exchanger model for whole building energy simulation
(2013-05)
Whole building energy simulation is a simulation platform which includes any number of aspects of a building. These tools are generally capable of simulating zones, air systems, hydronic systems, electric generation systems, ...
Early childhood education: Understanding pre-kindergarten and kindergarten readiness through Systems Theory
(2013-12)
Scope and Method of Study: This naturalistic inquiry case study explored a selected pre- kindergarten program and the extent of its provision for school readiness through the lens of General Systems Theory. Assessment ...
