The purpose of this study was to investigate high school music teachers' perceived influence of student enrollment in accelerated learning programs on student enrollment, participation, and attitude in band and choir. Participants (N =...
Cognitive control (‘executive’) processes have been implicated in a broad range of psychological problems including anxiety and externalizing conditions. However, limited research has examined the effects of external stressors (i.e., ...
The major elements, trace elements, and isotopic composition of clinopyroxene and garnet fractions from mantle xenoliths from Colorado Plateau area were analyzed in this study to examine the sources of the xenoliths and their role in...
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine factors that affect sentencing decisions of Latino and Haitian immigrants. Although scholarly research has consistently demonstrated that foreign-born populations are less likely than native...
Objective: There is substantial variability in early diagnostic features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), suggesting heterogeneity in clinical presentation. The present study aims to identify distinct profiles of social communication...
National recommendations for undergraduate biology education call for orchestrating opportunities for students to "figure out" scientific explanations in the classroom setting by engaging in similar disciplinary practices and discourses...
Roy Harris (1898-1979) was one of the leading American composers of the early and mid-twentieth centuries. Audiences were polarized in their appreciation of him and his music. Some adored it and labeled it truly American while others...
Reading comprehension is an essential skill for success in school and post-school life. However, despite the importance of this skill, a considerable number of students in the U.S. have shown difficulties in reading comprehension....
The Group Decision-Making Communication Effectiveness (GDMCE) Scale: Development of a New Integrated Measure for Evaluating Group Decision-Making Effectiveness
The ability of groups to make the most effective decisions possible has long been a primary focus of the decision-making communicative process within any group. As such, the effectiveness of groups in making decisions has been an...
Latin America has historically sustained political, economic, and social upheaval, creating a vacuum of patriarchal power dynamics indicative of gender violence. These dynamics are reflected in personal and political trauma narratives....
One of the main goals of robotics research is to give physical platforms intelligence, allowing for the platforms to act autonomously with minimal direction from humans. Motion planning is the process by which a mobile robot plans a...
This study examines clergy in colonial New England and how they depicted dead bodies in their funeral sermons. Whether it was second generation Puritan ministers like William Hubbard and Samuel Willard, or third generation ministers like...
School library media specialists have a flexible role within the structure of a school's environment, which allows for a unique opportunity to promote students' reading motivation. This study qualitatively explored school library media...
In this dissertation, disturbances leading to optimal energy growth in a spatially developing, zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer are examined. The slow development of the turbulent mean flow in the streamwise direction is...
The growing prevalence of computers, tablets, and educational apps in academic settings has prompted many researchers to investigate the potential benefits and drawbacks of this technology. One of the ways that this technology can...
Leaders often are faced with making difficult decisions for their group, such as when a course of action preferred by group members conflicts with one that is likely to optimize group outcomes. Across five studies, I provide evidence...
The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of ARCS-based motivational email messages (MVEMs) on student participation in a free online English for Speakers of other Languages (ESOL) course. The course consisted of 10...
New numerical algorithms are devised for high-order, efficient quadrature in domains arising from the intersection of a hyperrectangle and a manifold implicitly defined by level sets. By casting the manifold locally as the graph of a...
Hurricane Andrew (1992) caused one of the largest property losses in U.S. history, but limited availability of surface wind measurements hindered the advancement of wind engineering research. Many studies have been conducted on regular...
The field of art therapy has gained momentum in its collaboration with neuroscience in the quest for greater empirical evidence for the efficacy of the field. While there have been a few studies testing the applicability of salivary...
This manuscript uses sound localization circuitry in the chick brainstem to examine the balance of inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission maintained by neural circuits. This is a particular challenge in sensory systems, like the...
Eukaryotic genomes replicate via the synchronous firing of clusters of origins that together produce multi-replicon domains, each of which replicates at a defined time during S-phase. This temporal program is termed the DNA replication...
This research project presents four new works for the violin and various chamber ensembles, which I commissioned from Dr. Liduino Pitombeira and his students Helder Oliveira, Marcel Castro-Lima and Gabriel Mesquita, at Universidade...
Against the backdrop of constrained resources and increasing demands, governments across the world have adopted performance budgeting systems. However, it is also true that most countries implementing performance budgeting systems don't...
Nanoparticles have been extensively studied in the past few decades due to the possibilities they offer in applications ranging from medicine to energy generation. A new class of ultra-small noble metal nanoparticles consisting of tens...
