Systems analysis of grass cell wall biosynthesis for biofuel production
(2017-05)Grass cell walls play an important role in plant development, pathogen defense, and are an abundant and sustainable carbon source for biofuel production. Chapter 1 introduces the great impact of cell wall composition on ... -
Taiwanese teachers' beliefs about student self-determination: Implications for multicultural education.
(2007)A critical ethnographic methodology based on constructive epistemological assumptions was used to investigate the perspectives of five Taiwanese teachers from different ethnic/language groups. Interview data were further ... -
Taking control through self-determination: The management of personal lifestyles by adults with mental retardation.
(1997)This study was based on the idea that self-determination may be used as a vehicle through which individuals with mental retardation may redefine their identities, recast their futures, and take more control of the management ... -
Taking the good with the bad: The impact of forecasting timing and valence on idea evaluation and creativity
(2018-05)Forecasting is an integral component to idea evaluation and has been shown to positively impact creative performance. However, less is known about what set of conditions, namely forecasting timing and valence, maximizes ... -
A tale of four spurs: habitats, distribution, abundance and movements of Oklahomas wintering longspurs and their co-occuring species
(2021-08-05)Grasslands are the most threatened ecosystem in North America and have been consistently reduced since the settlement of Euro-Americans through the conversion to farmland. This drastic loss in habitat is why grassland birds ... -
Talk is Cheap: Organizational Apologies from the Stakeholder's Perspective
