Time-Dependent Quantum Reactive Scattering in Hyperspherical Coordinates
(2013)
We present a time-dependent hyperspherical, wave packet method for calculating three atom state-to-state S-matrix elements.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND PERFORMANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: PROMISE, POTENTIAL, AND PITFALLS OF PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
(2013)
In recent years, performance based accountability regimes have become increasingly prevalent throughout government. This dissertation explores the role of performance data in higher education policymaking, both in terms ...
Bayesian Approaches to Detect and Mitigate Ground Clutter mixed with Weather Signals
(2013)
Ground clutter is a long standing issue in radar meteorology, considering that it can bring significant bias to the estimations of weather moments, polarimetric parameters, rainfall rate, hydrometeor identification, etc. ...
COMPREHENSIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF HIGH THROUGHPUT SCANNING MICROSCOPY FOR METAPHASE CHROMOSOME IMAGING
(2013-12)
Specimen scanning is a critically important tool for diagnosing the genetic diseases in today’s hospital. In order to reduce the clinician’s work load, many investigations have been conducted on developing automatic sample ...
Analyzing the Human Sex Ratio at Birth
(2013-12-13)
The effect of income, education, employment, marital status, age, race, birth order, and national economic conditions on the sex ratio at birth were analyzed for the N = 21,597 children of the National Longitudinal Survey ...
Observations and Simulations of Polarimetric, X-Band Radar Signatures in Supercells
(2013)
Polarimetric weather radars, with the additional information collected, allow one to infer scatterer and precipitation properties considerably more easily than single-polarization radars. Given the relationship between the ...
APPLICATION OF THE LEARNING CYCLE IN MEDICAL EDUCATION
(2013)
This study was designed to compare factual knowledge retention and clinical skills outcomes of two different teaching designs: inquiry via the learning cycle and exposition via power point presentation. This research was ...
Understanding the Nature and Impact of Business Models
(2013)
As business model centered research has grown significantly over the last decade, the focus has primarily been on establishing an initial understanding of the construct. Much of the existing research has focused on defining ...
The Hydrologic Responses of Semiarid Watersheds to the Cultivation of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.)
(2013-12)
Due in part to the very recent influx of federal and state policies promoting the development of ethanol as a gasoline additive, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has received much attention. Nevertheless, investigations ...
Metagenomics and Social Inclusion in Peru
(2013)
Metagenomics is the study of all the genetic material found in an ecosystem. Each part of the human body is an ecosystem with a distinct bacterial profile or microbiota whose metagenomic signature is called a human microbiome. ...
