Nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis of steel frames with semirigid joints.
(1999)
In this study a nonlinear dynamic analysis computer program for planar steel frames with semi-rigid connections is developed. The semi-rigid connections are modeled as a massless rotational spring element. This element has ...
The anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum-related compounds.
(1997)
The toxicity and biodegradation of mixtures of thiols, thiophenes, thiophenic acids and aromatic sulfides were determined under anaerobic conditions. Toxicity effects were dependent on the structure of the organosulfur ...
To laugh in the face of death: An examination of the connection between death attitudes and sense of humor from an existential perspective.
(1999)
This study examined the relationship between sense of humor and death attitudes from an existential perspective. Participants in the study were 274 undergraduate students who completed a brief demographic instrument the ...
Effects of non-adiabatic coupling in photofragmentation of CO(2) using resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization techniques.
(1997)
We observed Resonance Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) spectra of $nf\sp2\Pi\sb{\Omega}$ Rydberg states of $CO\sb2$ for $n=4$ to 8. In addition, we also did a laser power dependence study of these states for $n=5$ ...
The impact of systems change components on special education policy.
(1997)
The field of education continuously experiences changes. Specifically, the field of special education advanced a systems change strategy. The US Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services promoted the Statewide ...
Medicaid and the politics of state health care reform.
(1998)
This research draws upon the framework established by Oliver and Paul-Shaheen (1997). They argue that two general types of elements influence health care reform; contextual conditions and dynamic factors. Contextual ...
Negotiating the relationship between religion and public education: Conceptualizing a prophetic pragmatic teacher from Toni Morrison's "Beloved".
(1998)
This inquiry participates in continuing philosophical debates over the appropriate relationship between religion and public education (RRPE) and the conceptual consequences of any such relationship for teachers (Purpel, ...
Immunization, stochastic process risk, and optimal objective functions: Reexamination of the duration vector model with Monte Carlo sampling.
(1998)
In Part One of this dissertation, the Chambers, Carleton, and McEnally (CCM) model is reexamined by two separate empirical designs. In the first, the CCM quarterly data test is replicated with a larger sample and with the ...
A study of the scope of metal-catalyzed allylic amination of olefins and an approach towards solid phase synthesis of unsymmetrical tertiary phosphines.
(1998)
A general route for the synthesis of N-alkoxy-N-alkylamidine hydrochlorides by reaction of organic nitriles with (N-alkyl-N-alkoxyammine)dimethylaluminum chloride (chapter 4, 26) is described.
Negotiating the "new country": The cultural politics of exchange in the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache reservation and allotment periods, 1867-1910.
(1998)
This dissertation focuses on the cultural aspects of exchange involving the Kiowa and Comanche tribes of western Indian Territory between 1867 and 1910, otherwise known as the reservation and allotment periods. The circulation ...
