This study examined the education and preparation of
220 full-time learning assistance professionals in
California's public Community College, State University, and
University of California systems. The purpose of the study
was to describe selected characteristics of the
professionals and to assess their implications for future
training programs. The results were...
Recent trends in higher education have led to the development of
alternatives to traditional on-campus graduate degree programs. There is a
concomitant need to understand student experience in field-based programs
which support continuing education and career development for employed
adults. The central purpose of this research was to explore the...
Throughout the course of this thesis, I argue that the prose of David Foster Wallace, specifically his posthumously published novel The Pale King, inhabits a middle ground between universal sincerity and the particularized authenticity of postmodern irony.

Director David Fincher’s films contain many distinct elements that set his work apart, but one of the most instantly recognizable elements is his visual style – specifically, his camerawork. The level of control and purposefulness that Fincher exhibits in his films qualify Fincher as the auteur, or “author,” of his...
A low-voltage plateau at ∼0.3 V is discovered during the deep sodiation of Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃ by combined computational and experimental studies. This new low-voltage plateau doubles the sodiation capacity of Na₃V₂(PO₄)₃, thus turning it into a promising anode for Na-ion batteries.

The incorporation of europium and dysprosium in potassium
chloride crystals was investigated. The crystals were prepared by
the Kyropoulos method from melts containing the rare-earth chlorides.
The concentration of these rare-earth ions in the crystals was determined
by neutron-activation analysis. The distribution coefficient of
europium and dysprosium between the molten...
Collaborative management of subsistence fisheries in the Philippines requires policies that devolve authority to the local level. This involves creating mechanisms to hold managers accountable for creating opportunities for active participation by fisher folk communities. The Philippines has created a comprehensive national framework for the co-management of coastal resources at...
