Testing a Dynamic Perspective of Goal Orientation During Complex Skill Acquisition and Adaptation to Unforeseen Change
(2018-05)In the context of learning a dynamic task involving cognitive and perceptual-motor demands, this laboratory study contributed to a multilevel perspective of goal orientation and performance by examining adaptation to a ... -
TESTING STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS FOR FREE VIBRATION TO UNDERSTAND THEIR LINEAR DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS
(2018)Dynamic forces such as strong seismic, wind, and impact loads can cause severe deterioration of structural elements in residential, commercial and other structural systems. In the field of structural health monitoring ... -
The Babylonian astronomical diaries : a contextual survey and graphical analysis of their implied reference system
(2002)Abstract Babylonian scribes nightly observed and recorded celestial events for over six centuries during the first millennium BC. A number of cuneiform tablets containing these astronomical diaries have been recovered and ... -
THE BIG UNEASY: LEADERSHIP FAILURES IN NEW ORLEANS BEFORE AND AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA
(2016)Individuals in positions of leadership should possess certain qualities that allow them to situations of great stress and crisis. These qualities are especially important in extraordinary and overwhelming circumstances ... -
The community in the philosophy of William James
(1999)There are those who have stated that James' social philosophy is of little import, and that the reader of James is, therefore, hard-pressed to find any notion of community therein. My primary purpose in this work is to ... -
The concept of Ungrund in Jakob Boehme (1575-1624)
(2003)This study is an exposition of the key concept of Ungrund as developed by Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) in his last major work, the Mysterium Magnum of 1624. Until lately largely ignored by the history of science community, the ... -
The diffusion of new media and radar technology and the role of broadcasters' prior experience and public perceptions in television severe weather coverage
(2010)Broadcast meteorologists are the top source of information for people during severe weather in the U.S. (Hayes, 2009; Legates & Biddle, 1999; Schmidlin & King, 1997; Sherman-Morris, 2009) and play an important role in ... -

The effect of bulk viscosity on compressible couette flow with blowing
(1992)The effect of bulk viscosity on a compressible couette flow is considered between two porous parallel walls in which the lower wall is at rest and the upper wall is moving at a constant velocity. The flow between the walls ... -
The effect of CO₂ infused ice on the formation and dissociation of CO₂ hydrate
(2013)CO₂ gas hydrates are crystalline water ice cages around a CO₂ molecule. CO₂ affects global climate change on Earth and a major atmospheric component of the Martian atmosphere. CO₂ hydrates likely have minor effects on ... -
The effects of confining pressure on the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms for the Oil Creek Sandstone in laboratory tests
(1992)Laboratory rock testing procedures are used to study the effect of confining pressure on the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms for the Oil Creek Sandstone: a lightly cemented (quartz), high porosity (~35%) ... -
The effects of temperature on compressive strength of rapid setting concrete
(2011)Rapid setting concrete using Calcium Sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement has been around since the 1960's to meet the need for construction projects with limited time frames. These projects range from quick foundation work to rapid ... -
The establishment of Mesa Verde as a national park
(1966)Mesa Verde has a unique distinction in that it is the only man-made National Park in the United States. It consists of hundreds of cliff dwellings --homes of the Pueblo Indians from around 1100 to 1300 A.D. These dwellings, ...
