  • Predictions and Practices for Reducing Heat Damage in Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

    Creator:
    Yang, Fan-Hsuan
    Abstract:
    Heat-related fruit damage is a common problem in the northern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L). This is particularly true in regions such as the northwestern United States, where summers are warm and dry, and daytime temperature regularly exceeds 32 oC. Millions of dollars of fruit damage are reported in blueberries...

  • A Korean elementary teacher's beliefs about teaching and learning and its impact on interactions and norms in mathematics classroom

    Creator:
    Cho, Cheong-soo
    Abstract:
    This study described how and why a Korean elementary teacher taught mathematics as he did. Specifically, the study sought to describe his beliefs about the teaching and learning of mathematics and relate them to patterns of classroom interaction and norms. An ethnographic inquiry guided the study of one third grade...

  • An investigation of tenth grade students' views of the purpose of geometric proof

    Creator:
    Gfeller, Mary Katherine
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this investigation was to describe tenth grade students' views of the purposes of geometric proof within the context of their learning. Classroom observations, the curriculum, assessment tools, journal questions, and a preconceptions questionnaire were used to provide context for the views expressed by students from a single...

  • An Exploratory Study of Mathematics Disciplinary Practices in Advanced Mathematics

    Creator:
    Glover, Erin D.
    Abstract:
    Policy and research have increased attention in K12 mathematics education on core mathematical practices such as argumentation, justification, and proof, that are central to students learning and doing mathematics. One reason for this increased focus is the empirical evidence that engaging students in mathematical practices provide more equitable opportunities for...

  • The relationship of a problem-based calculus course and students' views of mathematical thinking

    Creator:
    Liu, Po-Hung
    Abstract:
    It has been held that heuristic training alone is not enough for developing one's mathematical thinking. One missing component is a mathematical point of view. Many educational researchers have proposed problem-based curricula to improve students' views of mathematical thinking. The present study reports findings regarding effects of a problem-based calculus...

  • Proximate Factors Influencing Cat Behavior, Cognition, and The Human-Cat Bond

    Creator:
    Vitale, Kristyn R.
    Abstract:
    The domestic cat is one of the world’s most popular companion animals. However, to date much remains to be learned about cat behavior and the cat-human relationship. To examine the influence of proximate factors on cat behavior and the human-cat bond, three studies were undertaken. Study 1 directly measured the...

  • Macro Stories: Policy Process Dynamics of Presidential Environmental Ideas

    Creator:
    Peterson, Holly L.
    Abstract:
    Public policy narratives and stories are often referenced by the media, politicians, advocacy groups, and across many disciplines in academia. Studies of social and political narratives support the notion narrative matters, but often lack systematic design capable of producing generalizable findings. The Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) has responded to this...

  • A paradigmatic framework for flight safety

    Creator:
    Routledge, Garry L.
    Abstract:
    Statistically, travel by air is one of the safest forms of transportation. Yet we continue to experience aviation tragedies. Do we fully understand flight safety or is there another way of looking at the problem? In this work a new way of approaching the question of flight safety is developed,...

  • Mechanical Design for Robot Locomotion

    Creator:
    Abate, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    Robotic limbs have been shown to enable mobility in unstructured, real-world terrain; they allow robots to step around cluttered environments, scramble up hills, carry heavy loads, and even perform acrobatics. However, mechanical limbs cannot operate as a means for such dynamic locomotion if they are simply treated as general articulated...

  • Generation of full-length cDNA clone and functional analysis of leader proteases of grapevine leafroll-associated virus-2

    Creator:
    Liu, Yu-Ping
    Abstract:
    Papain-like leader proteases are found in diverse families of human, animal, plant, and fungal positive-strand RNA viruses. In addition to autocatalytic processing, these proteases play a variety of roles in the virus life cycle. In particular, the leader protease (L-Pro) of a prototype member of the Closterovirus genus, Beet yellows...
