The response on the continental shelf of a baroclinic ocean to
driving by an alongshore coastal wind stress and by barotropic and
baroclinic wind forced interior motions is studied as a function of
latitude. The relative excitation of continental shelf waves and
internal Kelvin waves is studied.
The response of...
An experimental and numerical modeling investigation was conducted to study interactions between microbial dynamics and transport processes in variably saturated porous media. These interactions are important in a variety of applied problems such as water and wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and oil-field recovery operations. These processes and interactions also have great...
As a result of the calls for reform in mathematics education and the ever-changing nature of mathematics, today's teachers face the challenge of teaching unfamiliar content in ways that are equally unfamiliar. In view of this challenge, the purpose of this study was to investigate middle school teachers' subject matter...
The movement to reform mathematics teaching and learning in schools began in the 1980s. After dedicating vast resources to support reform efforts since then, the transition to improve mathematics teaching and learning in schools has not occurred. In the majority of mathematics classrooms teachers still rely on traditional teaching strategies...
