Optimal Spatiotemporal Reduced Order Modeling for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
(2012)
Proposed in this dissertation is a novel reduced order modeling (ROM) framework called optimal spatiotemporal reduced order modeling (OPSTROM) for nonlinear dynamical systems. The OPSTROM approach is a data-driven methodology ...
Meeting the Culturally-Related Academic Needs of American Indian Students: A Case Study of Elva John Middle School
(2012)
Many issues (e.g. impact of cultural hegemony, cultural mismatch,
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, AND SPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY OF GROUP 8 METALLOPORPHYRIN COMPLEXES
(2012)
This dissertation describes the investigations of nitric oxide (NO) and possible NO donors with group 8 metalloporphyrins.
Investigating basic characteristics of turbulence in channel flows using Lagrangian concepts
(2012)
Many examples of turbulent motion of particles in nature can be better perceived through the concept of backwards turbulent dispersion. Some examples include pollutants in atmosphere or oceans reaching populated human or ...

Mixed Convexity and Optimization Results for Functions with Integer and Real Variables with Applications to Queueing Systems
(2012)
In this dissertation, a new method for obtaining convexity and optimization results for functions with integer and real (i.e. mixed) variables is introduced and this new method is applied to obtain mixed convexity and ...
Exotic Diatomic Molecules of Cesium
(2012)
The observation of a new, polar class of homonuclear diatomic molecules, called trilobite molecules, is presented. The molecules have permanent electric dipole moments of &sim20-100 Debye. The observations are in agreement ...
FUNDAMENTAL HYDRAULIC FRACTURING CONCEPTS FOR POORLY CONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS
(2012)
This dissertation examines -by means of the discrete element method- the mechanisms that govern hydraulic fracturing in poorly consolidated formations. The motivation to take on this project was the widely reported ...
The Relationships Among Academics, GPA, and the Transition Assessment and Goal Generator (TAGG) in Students with Mild to Moderate Disabilities
(2012)
A nationwide push for students with disabilities to receive instruction in the general education classroom has stemmed, in part, from current legislation and high stakes testing. Student GPA continues to be a major factor ...
