Cyberterrorism: A postmodern view of networks of terror and how computer security experts and law enforcement officials fight them.
(2006)
The purpose of this study is to investigate how cyberterrorists create networks in order to engage in malicious activities against the Internet and computers. The purpose of the study is also to understand how computer ...
Preservice teachers' beliefs about young adolescents and their impact on grade level teaching preference.
(2006)
Middle level education programs need qualified, specifically trained teachers to best address the needs of their young adolescent learners. However, despite extensive information as to what constitutes appropriate middle ...
Analyzing the effects of demand uncertainty on inventory in six United States retail sectors using multivariate GARCH-M models and life and property-casualty insurance industry comparisons four years after the enactment of GLBA.
(2006)
Chapter 2. Following GLBA of 1999, previous studies recommended that banks enter the life insurance industry rather than property casualty insurance based on their prediction that the combined firm would have a less volatile ...
Rethinking introspection: How we know (and fail to know) our own minds.
(2006)
In this dissertation I offer a new framework for understanding introspection, characterizing it as a multi-faceted phenomenon that has a broad range of epistemic qualities. I begin by arguing that the standard understanding ...
Understanding and design of molecular dynamics based simulation methods.
(2006)
Several new strategies for employing modified molecular dynamics (MD) protocols for finding energy minima were developed developed. First, we derived a new method of searching for the lowest energy conformation by employ ...
Iron uptake in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
(2006)
Bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, utilize iron sources from the environment. Iron uptake systems in Gram-negative bacteria are well studied. Escherichia coli FepA transports certain catecholate ...

(2006)
The uneven development of GIS as the BIA represents a core-periphery geography. Since the nineteenth century, North American Indians have encountered the implementation of new technologies used to meet the goals and ...
Binding and transport through ferric siderophore receptors, FepA and FhuA.
(2006)
Under iron deficient conditions, Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli secrete siderophores to chelate iron in the extracellular medium. Ligand-gated porins (LGPs) transport the ferric siderophore complexes across the outer ...
