This treatise examines the musical development, professional career and teaching philosophies of British euphoniumist Steven J. Mead. Mead is perhaps most well-known for his virtuosity on the euphonium, touring over twenty countries and...
Linehan's (1993) biosocial theory of borderline personality disorder (BPD) posits that (1) behavioral dysregulation results from emotion dysregulation, and (2) emotion dysregulation is due, in part, to attentional biases. The primary...
Competition has always been central to hip hop culture's four primary elements of rapping, dancing, DJing, and graffiti writing. This thesis focuses on the competitive practices associated with hip hop's musical elements: rap, dance, and...
The rapid development and adoption of personal computers and the Internet at the end of the twentieth and beginning of the twenty-first century have brought significant changes to popular musical culture and amateur music-making. In the...
The goal of my thesis project is to examine the result of creating masses from individuals using a variety of media, and to determine at what point the individuals begin to exhibit emergent qualities. Also, I am interested in the general...
Book's are information goods, and this paper considers the possibility to measure the information available from the pages of a book. Book demand is also explored; I find evidence that price and book sales are positively related for two...
The present study was designed to address gaps in the literature, extend previous research, and increase current knowledge about interest inventory profile elevation as a construct. More specifically, the study investigated relationships...
Beyond being just a part of a somewhat interesting local fable, the story of the growth and development of an African American òrìs̱à devotees in Philadelphia is an Yorùbáland via Cuba. Its adoption by African American devotees is thus...
The elephant in the family room: the evolving relationship between television and society
Description:
Through this paper, I have analyzed the progression and evolution of television through the changing needs of modern American society. Within my thesis I observe the America that television culture was born into, how this detail affected...
Residential wastewater management in urban fringe and rural areas in northwest and north central Florida is commonly accomplished using on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs), typically consisting of septic tank and drainfield...
Today, employee-employer relationships have increasingly become an important determinant of individuals' work behaviors. The employee-employer relationship is a concept of psychological contracts which suggest that understanding work...
Environmental justice studies tend to deemphasize political economic processes, social relations between various social groups, scale and the social constructions of environmental issues which hide environmental injustice. Political...
A number of scholars are increasingly turning their attention to the effects of emotional labor on organizational performance (Hochschild, 1983). The literature's focus on private industry reports a negative influence on its consequences...
The purpose of this dissertation is to explore and analyze a domain of research thought to be shared by two areas of philosophy: computational and digital ontology. Computational ontology is philosophy used to develop information systems...
The Baldwin rules provide a robust guideline for predicting the favorability of ring closure of reactive intermediates based upon stereoelectronic considerations. Our group was intrigued by the lack of examples of 5-endo-dig cyclizations...
The research in this paper looks to advance a non-intrusive load monitoring system into a large-scale power system application. The basic concept of residential non-intrusive monitoring is looked at for implementation in monitoring...
The purpose of this research was to examine the nature of scheduled teacher-student writing conferences with confident and less confident students. The participants of the study were fifth-graders from a public elementary school in the...

The capacity to exert control over one's behavior is known as self-control and this ability to self-regulate is a necessary component for directing personal behavior toward achieving a specific goal. Self-regulation operates within a...
Locating ground faults in ungrounded systems is inherently difficult because such faults do not provide considerable fault currents for tracing the fault location and the locating process has to be done during system operation. In this...
Nanotechnology is a frontier area of scientific research that involves materials and devices with at least one dimension at or below 100 nm scale. The ability to rationally synthesize and characterize functional materials at the...
CeIn3 belongs to a class of strongly correlated f-electron compounds that show a variety of unusual features like heavy fermion, itinerant and localized antiferromagnetism, non-Fermi liquid behavior and unconventional superconductivity....
This research has shown that the theory underlying the responsibility for government to report on its performance with both financial and nonfinancial information goes back over 100 years. Public reporting to citizens on government's...
