  • Motivation and engagement in school among immigrant Latino middle school students

    Creator:
    Knudson-Martin, John
    Abstract:
    This study investigated how a minority population of Latino/a immigrant children attending a middle school in the Pacific Northwest made sense of engaging with school and school mathematics. A cross disciplinary theoretical framework was used to examine how individual student motivation is impacted by the social context in which the...

  • Observational studies of stable nocturnal boundary layers: intermittent turbulence, sensible heat budgets and observational errors

    Creator:
    Nakamura, Reina
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric boundary layers become stably stratified at night over land when the surface becomes colder than the air layer above. In stable nocturnal boundary layers (SNBL), turbulence becomes weak and intermittent, terrain-induced phenomena such as drainage currents or gravity-waves emerge and the surface heterogeneity is enhanced. Because of their complexity...

  • Numerical inversion of laplace transforms by the trapezoidal-type methods

    Creator:
    Lin, FuSen F.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we investigate three numerical methods for inverting the Laplace transform. These methods are all based on the trapezoidal-type approximations to the Bromwich integral. The first method is the direct integration method: It is a straightforward application of the trapezoidal rule to the Bromwich integral, followed by convergence...

  • A conditional analysis method applied to globally intermittent turbulence

    Creator:
    Klipp, Cheryl L.
    Abstract:
    Globally intermittent turbulence is characterized by sudden switching from significant turbulence to weak turbulence and back on time scales ranging from seconds to tens of minutes as opposed to microscale intermittency, which is due to organization of small scale gradients by individual eddies on scales as small as the Kolmogorov...

  • Toward making the invisible visible : studying science teaching self-efficacy beliefs

    Creator:
    Perkins, Catherine J.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation consists of two articles to be submitted for publication. The first, a literature review, makes visible common influences on science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and also points to potentially invisible validation concerns regarding the instrument used. The second investigates the participants' invisible science teaching self-efficacy beliefs and, through the...

  • Flow over surface discontinuities in a marine environment

    Creator:
    Moore, Erin M.
    Abstract:
    This study concentrates on analysis of LongEZ aircraft data taken offshore of the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Due to the land structure of the region, it was possible to isolate the effect of narrow land on air as it flows offshore. The narrow land (Outer Banks) separates inland...
