(Virginia Tech, 2004-10-25)College enrollment and graduation rates for African Americans remain lower than enrollment and graduation rates for middle and upper-class White students. The lower enrollment and graduation rates have an effect on the ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-05-04)This study identified the accuracy with which local career and technical education (CTE) administrators perceive the stereotypes of CTE students, teachers, and programs held by Virginia Department of Education administrators. ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-07-14)This study focused on the University of Wisconsin Stout's (UW Stout) implementation of the Malcolm Baldridge Award (MBNQA) Criteria for Educational Performance Excellence. The study had two objectives: (1) to determine ...

(Virginia Tech, 2003-12-02)ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND TOPOLOGY FOR HIGH POWER CURRENT SOURCE CONVERTER By Zhenxue Xu Alex Q. Huang, Chairman Electrical Engineering (ABSTRACT) This dissertation presents the analysis and development of an ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2002-07-19)The affects of hydrodynamic shock wave treatment on the bacterial flora of raw beef and poultry were evaluated. Hydrodynamic shock waves were generated in an aqueous treatment medium by either the detonation of two types ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-12-19)This study describes the covalent and the electrostatic attachment of molecules, nano-particles, and proteins to patterned self-assembled monolayers. A scanning probe nanografting technique was employed to produce patterns ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-01-30)We develop the necessary theory in algebraic geometry to place Bayesian networks into the realm of algebraic statistics. This allows us to create an algebraic geometry--statistics dictionary. In particular, we study the ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-01-24)Recent advances in systems biology have uncovered detailed mechanisms of biological processes such as the cell cycle, circadian rhythms, and signaling pathways. These mechanisms are modeled by chemical reaction networks ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-05-03)Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs), alcohol ethoxylates (AEOs), and alcohol propoxylates (APOs) are non-ionic surfactants used in daily care products and detergents. They are formed as an oligomeric series with a varying ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-07-31)In today's era of intense competition for acquiring and retaining customers, customer retention has become a major issue and a key objective in modern retailing. With the emergence of new information technologies, the ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2002-12-10)Wideband phased arrays require very tight element spacing to permit wide angle scanning of the main beam over the wide bandwidth. The consequence of tight spacing is very high mutual coupling among the elements in the ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-04-30)We study the benefits of resource flexibility, considering two different flexibility structures. First, we want to understand the impact of the firm's pricing strategy on its resource investment decision, considering a ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-08-12)Due to problems associated with welded moment connections uncovered after the Northridge earthquake, large bolted connections are becoming a much more attractive alternative for design in seismic regions. However, stringent ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2013-04-24)The Method of Ordered Multiple Interactions provides a numerical solution to the integral<br />equations describing surface scattering which is both computationally efficient and reliably<br />convergent. The method has ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-12-10)The huge advancement in the textiles industry and the accurate control on the mechanization process coupled with cost-effective manufacturing offer an innovative environment for new electronic systems, namely electronic ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 1998-06-11)AN ASSESSMENT OF THE NEWPORT NEWS TEACHER MENTORING PROGRAM Sadie Johnson Carter (ABSTRACT) The perceptions of how well the mentor teacher program meets the needs of the beginning teacher, the mentor teacher, and the ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2004-06-10)With ever shrinking geometries, growing metal density and increasing clock rate on chips, delay testing is becoming a necessity in industry to maintain test quality for speed-related failures. The purpose of delay testing ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 1999-04-19)Research presented herein involved the use of a smart skin treatment used for the attenuation of turbulent boundary layer induced interior noise. The treatment consisted of several Smart Foam actuators each having a ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2012-11-16)This dissertation proposes autonomous robotic strategies for urban search and rescue (USAR) which are map-based semi-autonomous robot navigation and fully-autonomous robotic search, tracking, localization and mapping (STLAM) ...
-
(Virginia Tech, 2003-09-17)The FeMo cofactor is one of two types of prosthetic group found in the larger of the two nitrogenase component proteins, called the MoFe protein, and it is strongly implicated as the substrate binding and reduction site. ...
