Ability-Growth Interactions in the Acquisition of a Complex Skill: A Spline-Modeling Approach
(2010)
While investigating how the relationship of abilities and skill acquisition changes over the course of training, researchers have unknowingly obscured the very relationship they sought to examine by relying on analyses ...
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 ...

(2010)
Congressional policymaking occurs in an information-rich environment, among a vast and complex set of institutional and representational demands. In this dissertation, I examine how congressional institutions interact ...
IMPROVING THE EnKF FOR HISTORY MATCHING: MULTISCALE PARAMETERIZATION AND BOOTSTRAP-BASED SCREENING
(2010)
Although the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has been remarkably successful for history matching and quantifying uncertainty in petroleum reservoirs, there have been problems with the use of small ensembles, and occasionally ...
TROPHIC CONNECTIONS BETWEEN STREAM AND TERRESTRIAL FOOD WEBS
(2010)
Most animals have complex life histories (CLH) in which an individual's niche shifts through ontogeny. These organisms often cross habitat or ecosystem boundaries as they develop from larvae to adults, coupling energy ...
A stochastic simulation model to support designs of experiments on transportation evacuation planning
(2010)
This research presents a new discrete-event simulation model, the DOE_EVAC, that can (i) effectively simulate alternative modes of transportation during evacuations, (ii) support designs of experiments, thus, provide the ...
Measuring Satisfaction with Family-Professional Partnership in Early Intervention and Early Childhood Special Education Programs in Qatar
(2010)
