William Keith Brooks (1848-1908) : a case study in morphology and the development of American biology

Creator:

Benson, Keith Rodney

Abstract:

The major historical studies that have examined American biology have emphasized the development of experimental biology at the end of the nineteenth century. In this characterization, the descriptive branch of biology has often been treated as less than important and, in several cases, as a hindrance in the application of...

The context in which student teaching occurs and its effect on student teacher performance

Creator:

Gallagher, Patricia Reed

Abstract:

The central problem of this study was to construct and validate an instrument to measure the complexity of the contexts in which student teaching occurs and to use the instrument in the investigation of factors related to context complexity and its effect on student teacher performance. The instrument to measure...

Numerical analysis of critical field functions for thermal convection in vertical or quasi-vertical Darcy flow slabs

Creator:

Shyu, Chuen Tien

Abstract:

The numerical analysis of thermal convection in porous media, heated from below, and assuming Darcy flow conditions, involves the solving of a set of non-linear equations for the temperature and flow fields. The condition of criticality determining the onset of convection is obtained by linearization and the solving of an...
