Technology-Rich Ethnography for Examining the Transition to Authentic Problem-Solving in a High School Computer Programming Class
(Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2006-06-01)This study utilized elements of technology-rich ethnography to create a rich description of a multi-user virtual environment in a high school computer programming class. Of particular interest was the transition that took ... -
Temperature effects in the thermal conductivity of aligned amorphous polyethylene—A molecular dynamics study
(2018-09-10)We analyze, through molecular dynamics simulations, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity (k) of chain-oriented amorphous polyethylene (PE). We find that at increasing levels of orientation, the temperature ... -
Temperature Sensitivity of Soil Organic Carbon Mineralization along an Elevation Gradient in the Wuyi Mountains, China
(PLos One, 2013-01-14)Soil organic carbon (SOC) actively participates in the global carbon (C) cycle. Despite much research, however, our understanding of the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization is still very ... -
Temptation, Willpower, and the Problem of Rational Self-Control
(Rationality and Society, 1993-10-01)This article develops a model of consumption when individuals maximize utility knowing that they will experience varying levels of temptation and willpower over time. Examination of the optimal consumption path reveals ... -
Test Exclusions Develop Into “Test Scandal”
(Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, 2005-06-01)Many states use test results to hold schools accountable, with the stakes for children, teachers, and administrators becoming higher. High school principal Kimberly Reeves had to show substantial progress in raising ... -
A Test of Audit Pricing in the Small-Client Segment: A Comment
(Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, 1995-04-01)This study is the second to provide a richer test of the association between auditor size and audit fees by using three audit firm size classes in the small-client segment of the U.S. audit market. The finding of a Big 8 ... -
A Test of Fitts' Law in a Dual-Task Paradigm
(Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 1993-10-01)A simulated automobile driving environment was used to assess the validity of Fitts' Law under dual-task conditions. An aimed hand movement task was used as the Fitts task representative of reaching for controls on an ... -
A test of the efficacy of sand saltation for silt production: Implications for the interpretation of loess
(2020-07-21)Production of the silt that forms loess is attributed to processes operating in both glacial systems (glacial grinding) and sandy deserts (saltation-induced fracturing). However, the efficacy of saltation for significant ... -
Testing the Statutory Coherence Hypothesis: The Implementation of Federal Family Planning Policy in the States
(Administration & Society, 1989-02-01)This article tests the statutory coherence hypothesis, derived from the Sabatier and Mazmanian framework for policy implementation, within the context of the national family planning program. The statutory coherence ... -
The "Chicago School" in the global community: concept explication for communication theories and practices
(Korean Society for Journalism and Communication Studies (KSJCS), 2008)This article advocates a theoretical grounding in "community" that not only has heuristic value in the social sciences, but that is particularly useful in building communication theory. This grounding is predicated on and ... -
Their Day in Court: Assessing Guilty Plea Rates Among Terrorists
(Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, 2006-08-01)Individuals who are charged for traditional crimes are substantially more likely to plead guilty than individuals who are charged under the same statutes but who are officially involved in terrorism (Smith & Damphousse, ... -
Theoretical and Experimental Bases for More Precise Elastic Properties of Epoxy
(Journal of Composite Materials, 1968-10-01) -
Theoretical D* Optimization of N+-p Pb1-xSnxSe Long-Wavelength (8-11 μm) Photovoltaic Detector at 77K
(2014-01)In this work, the study of the influences of lifetime, doping concentration and absorption layer thickness to resistant- area product (R0A) and quantum efficiency of Pb1-xSnxSe photovoltaic detector are presented. Three ... -
Theory and Applications in Management Pedagogy: An Empirical Study
(Journal of Management, 1980-03-01)This study investigates the theory/applications orientation in management courses, the factors which influence this balance, and the techniques used to bring applications into the classroom. Overall, the findings indicate ... -
The theory and method of comparative area studies
(Qualitative Research, 2011-02-01)Though many now downplay the tension between area studies and disciplinary political science, there has been little substantive guidance on how to accomplish complementarity between their respective approaches. This article ... -
Theory and research in strategic management: Swings of a pendulum
(Journal of Management, 1999-06-01)The development of the field of strategic management within the last two decades has been dramatic. While its roots have been in a more applied area, often referred to as business policy, the current field of strategic ... -
The Theory/Applications Balance in Management Pedagogy: Where Do We Stand?
(Journal of Management, 1994-04-01)Business schools are expected to be "professional" in the sense that their mission is primarily to prepare people to practice their skills in the business world. Various critics, however, claim that management professors ... -
