TEACHER UNDERSTANDING OF CARE: USING EMPIRICAL AND CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS TO EXPLICATE THE MEANING OF CARE AS REFLECTED IN THE RELATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE CLASSROOM
(2014-05-10)
Care theory is a complex theory to understand, and interpreting its meaning involves a close investigation of the context in which it is both employed and explored. In this study, both conceptual and empirical literature ...
INTEGRATED INTERPRETATION OF BOREHOLE MICROSEISMIC DATA FROM HYDRAULIC FRACTURING STIMULATION TREATMENTS
(2014-05)
Sequence stratigraphic principles provide means to interpret the geological framework and likelihood of finding hydrocarbon–bearing rocks. In this work, I show that they can also be used to predict and better interpret the ...
THE ACUTE SKELETAL MUSCLE RESPONSE TO LOWER BODY RESISTANCE TRAINING WITH AND WITHOUT BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION IN PHYSICALLY ACTIVE MALES BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-35
(2014)
Blood flow restriction (BFR) in combination with exercise has been shown to result in favorable effects on skeletal muscle mass and function. However, most protocols have used an arbitrary pressure or they have based the ...

(2014-12-12)
This study examines language ideologies in the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma, in the context of various efforts to revitalize this Muskogean language. There are approximately sixty-five remaining first language speakers out ...
PEER FIRM EARNINGS QUALITY AND THE COST OF EQUITY
(2014-05)
This study examines how a firm’s cost of equity is affected by industry peer firms’ earnings quality. First, using Lambert, Leuz and Verrecchia (2007) as a theoretical basis, I predict and provide evidence that higher ...

(2014-08-15)
The focus of this study is on examining the role of an educational leader through the process of developing and implementing a community school. As the primary researcher, I sought to contribute to the body of community ...
Classification, Cobordism, and Curvature of Four-Dimensional Infra-Solvmanifolds
(2014)
Crystallographic groups of solvable Lie groups generalize the crystallographic groups of Euclidean space. The quotient of a solvable Lie group G by the action of a torsion-free crystallographic group of G is an infra-solvmanifold ...
The Impact of El Nino Southern Oscillation on the Climatology of U.S. Winter and Early Spring Tornado Outbreaks
(2014-12-12)
In recent years, the notion of a potential seasonal tornado outbreak prediction scheme has garnered the attention of several researchers. The studies that have arisen on this topic have focused mainly on the influence of ...
Middle Ear Biomechanics In Chinchilla Model Of Acute Otitis Media
(2014-05-09)
Acute otitis media (AOM) is a rapid onset of infection in the middle ear and the most frequently diagnosed disease in pediatric population. Conductive hearing loss is the most prevalent outcome of AOM because pathological ...
Interaction of Metal Ions with the Polyanionic Gram-Positive Cell Wall and the Effect of Antimicrobial Cationic Branched Polyethyleneimine on Metal Binding
(2014-12)
Metal binding is a known characteristic of the bacterial cell wall. Yet, the binding mechanisms and affinity constants are not fully understood. The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is characterized by a thick layer of ...
