  • Imaging fluorescent determination of energetics of chloroplast division and related matters

    Creator:
    Zheng, Ping
    Abstract:
    During exploration of imaging photosynthetic fluorimetry of Arabidopsis thaliana mutants, we discovered a novel phenomenon wherein photosynthetic efficiency (defined in Ning et al., 1995) is shown to plot in discrete groups. This exploration resulted first in the development of a spectrofluorometric method that apparently allows for in vivo observation of...

  • Degradation kinetics of taxol using mass spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jun
    Abstract:
    Paclitaxel is a very important anticancer drug commonly called Taxol®. We know from previous work (Hoffman, et al., 1998) that Taxol exists in filbert, Corylus avellana L. material. Quantification of Taxol in filbert plant material is painstaking and hitherto was accomplished by rapidly processing single batches in a complicated procedure...

  • Of dragons, palaces, and gods : a mormon perspective on C. S. Lewis

    Creator:
    Garrett, Christopher Edward
    Abstract:
    During his lifetime C. S. Lewis chose to speak to Christians in plain and simple language that they could understand. Lewis taught and defended truths that he felt were discernible through reason. Morality, free will, and the divinity of Jesus Christ were fundamental to his core beliefs and teachings. His...

  • Model of student understanding of probability in modern physics

    Creator:
    Wattanakasiwich, Pornrat
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to investigate students' models of probability in a modern physics context. The study was divided into three phases. The first phase explored student pre-knowledge about probability before modem physics instruction. The second phase investigated student understanding of concepts related to probability such as wave-particle behavior, the uncertainty...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • The journey of developing multicultural competence : A phenomenological exploration of lived experience in student affairs professionals

    Creator:
    St. Clair, Serena Erskine
    Abstract:
    Prior research has noted the changing demographics of higher education since the Civil Rights Movement and the expanded need for multicultural education. Armando Hernandez Morales (2003) wrote that, “A multiculturally competent person is aware of and knowledgeable about cultural differences, their own cultural identity, and the history and contemporary struggles...

  • The legacy of two African American women in college administration : Maxine Buie Mimms and Wintonnette Joye Hardiman : a look back to go forward

    Creator:
    Washington, Kim Elaine
    Abstract:
    The focus of this study was to examine the administrative legacy of two African American women administrators, Maxine Buie Mimms and Wintonnette Joye Hardiman, who administrated The Evergreen State College-Tacoma, Washington (TESC-T) campus for more than three decades. TESC-T is nationally known for its community-based curriculum and pedagogy, high retention...
