In this paper I focus on the process of formulating an ethnic identity in the United States for individuals of mixed-ethnicity. My main question explores the complexities an individual with parents of separate and distinct ethnic heritages faces when constructing an ethnic identity in our society. American society is reaching...
The SAOS Road Network Simulator (SARNS) is a graphical simulation program for transportation planning, implemented using the structural active-object system (SAOS) approach. A SAOS is an object-oriented concurrent system that consists of a collection of interacting structural active objects (SAOs), whose behaviors are determined by transition statements provided in their...
The primary objective of this research is to develop a network-centric simulation modeling framework that can be used to build simulation models through the use of Internet-based resources. An object-oriented programming approach was used to build a Java-based modeling framework focused on modeling a semiconductor fabrication system. This research is...
Cockpit Task Management (CTM) is the initiation, monitoring, prioritization, execution, and termination of multiple, concurrent tasks by night crews. The primary research question posed in the current research is what factors affect task prioritization on the modern day, commercial flight deck. The conventional CTM literature was reviewed as an introduction...
Population dynamics of Calanus finmarchicus have been modelled using very finely divided representation of the stock according to age-within-stage, in the manner of models developed by C. S. Davis, A. Sciandra, F. Carlotti and others. A key assumption of the model is that development
rate is relatively insensitive to food-limitation,...
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si specimens were shaped by repeated cycles of heating
(to 954 °C) and hammer or press forging followed by a solution anneal that varied from
968 to 998 °C. The coupons were originally extracted from billets forged below the beta
trans us ( 1009 °C) and slow cooled to ambient...
The central purposes of this study were to review the
historical sources of David Kolb's formulation of experiential
learning theory, and to determine the effect and
application of Kolb's theory and Learning Style Inventory
as reflected in the literature between 1971 and 1990.
It was found that Kolb based his...
This study determined the independent effects of various homogenization cycles and
precipitation treatments on the elevated temperature workability and the final ambient
temperature mechanical properties of AA2024 aluminum alloy and on the T3 tensile
properties of 2014 aluminum alloy as well as T6 tensile properties of 2618 and 2618 (Curich)...
