The apparent strategies of universities with exemplary retention rates: A synthesis of academic cocurricular programming.
(2003)
Many institutions of higher education offer cocurricular programming opportunities outside of the classroom to supplement learning and to impact retention. While many retention studies have focused on social programming ...
Synthetic spectrum methods for three dimensional supernova models.
(2003)
This dissertation describes some problems associated with synthesizing emergent spectra from three-dimensional supernova envelope models. We confront these problems by developing a three-dimensional implementation of a ...
Effects of nesting frequency and lateral boundary perturbations on the dispersion of limited-area ensemble forecasts.
