Models of College Persistence Intentions
(2010)While withdrawal from higher education may be the result of many reasons both within and beyond the control of the student or the institution, the intent of not returning to higher education indicates the acceptance of a ... -
Modern Day Warriors: An Exploration of Indigenous Male Graduates
(2018-05-11)Abstract This study explores successful experiences of Indigenous males who earned a master’s or professional degree from non-native institutions. Research on this population in relation to persistence and success is ... -
MODERN INNOVATIONS IN AMERICAN TRUMPET MOUTHPIECE DESIGN
(2014-05-09)In the early part of the 20th century, technological advancements in machinery allowed the production of trumpet mouthpieces to become more consistent than ever before. Vincent Bach and his contemporaries improved upon ... -
Modernization and ethnicity in China: a study of everyday ethnicity and urban renewal in Hui neighborhoods
(2017-07-12)Though much of the international attention given to China’s ethnic politics focuses on minority groups’ resistance to the Chinese state, relations between the state and ethnic Hui Muslims are not marked by resistence, ... -
The modification and application of Kuo's parameterization of cumulus convection in middle latitudes /
(The University of Oklahoma., 1975) -
MODIFICATION OF THE SMALL INTESTINAL SUBMUCOSA USING PLGA NANOPARTICLES FOR ENHANCED TISSUE REGENERATION: FROM IN VITRO TO IN VIVO MODELS
(2009)Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) derived from porcine small intestine has been intensively studied for its capacity in repairing and regenerating wounded and dysfunctional tissues. However, SIS suffers from a large spectrum ... -
Modifying social studies curriculum in the classroom: Case study regarding inclusive practices for engaging young adolescents in learning in the face of external constraints.
(2003)In studying this group of six teachers, four themes emerge to describe classroom practices to engage all students in learning. Teachers negotiate learning space to include diverse perspectives and cultural pluralism; ... -
Modular Optical Wireless Elements
(2016-12-16)Optical wireless has gained attention in recent years as an e cient and secure way to provide broadband connectivity to mobile platforms, isolated communities, and crowded public events. Companies like NASA, Google, Facebook, ... -
Modulation Domain Image Processing
(2012)The classical Fourier transform is the cornerstone of traditional linear -
Moisture and diabatic initialization based on radar and satellite observations.
(1999)The "spinup" problem is one of the most serious problems for short-range precipitation forecasting. It is known to be related to the deficiencies in the initial moisture, latent heating and divergent circulations. The ... -
Moisture and Thermal Characteristics of Southern Plains Ice Storms: Insights from a regional climatology and high-resolution WRF-ARW sensitivity study
(2014-08-15)Winter storms, including snowstorms and ice storms, are infrequent in the Southern Great Plains of the United States (SGP), but can produce significant hazard and socioeconomic disruption. During 2000-2010, several severe ... -
MOISTURE SOURCES FOR FLASH FLOODS IN THE UNITED STATES
(2017-12)This dissertation uses backward trajectories derived from North American Regional Reanalysis data for 19,253 flash flood reports published by the National Weather Service to assess the nonlocal contribution of the land ... -
MOISTURE SURGES OVER THE GULF OF CALIFORNIA AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
(2008)The North American Monsoon (NAM) is characterized by widespread convective activity and rainfall that is tied to key synoptic and sub-synoptic atmospheric circulation features during summer - from mid-June to September. ... -
Moisture-Induced Damage Characterization of Asphalt Mixes: A Chemical, Thermodynamic and Mechanistic Approach
(2021-05)Moisture-induced damage is one of the major distresses which leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties of asphalt mixes and failure of asphalt pavements. Evaluation of the moisture-induced damage potential is a ... -
Molecular basis of ecdysteroid mediated limb regeneration in the fiddler crab, Uca pugilator
(2014-05)Regeneration is a biological phenomenon that provides an organism the ability to recapitulate part of embryonic development as an adult. The capacity to regenerate is not limited to any particular group of animals; however, ... -
Molecular beam epitaxial growth and characterization of europium-doped calcium fluoride and fabrication of visible electroluminescent devices on silicon.
(1998)An indirect band-gap precludes the possibility of efficient luminescence from Si. The widespread use of Si in electronics and rapid advances in Si device processing and design justifies the search for Si-based light emitters ... -
Molecular beam epitaxial growth of interband cascade structures with advances in InAs- and GaSb-based interband cascade lasers
(2023-04-21)Interband cascade lasers (ICLs) based on the type-II quantum well (QW) active region have attracted much interest over the years, in large part due to their low power consumption. Their operation hinges on two key features; ... -
