An Investigation of Teachers’ Knowledge and Use of Positive Behavior Supports and Applied Behavior Analysis Strategies in Saudi Arabia
(2021-11-29)
Behavior management can be a challenge for elementary and secondary classroom teachers in Saudi Arabia. Some elementary and secondary teachers in Saudi Arabia report a lack of preparedness in implementing effective behavior ...
An Investigation of the Academic, Personal, Professional Experiences and Multicultural Competence of Diversity Staff in Higher Education
(2012-07-31)
There is a gap in the research about the preparation of diversity staff and their multicultural competency. In this dissertation, I address this void by examining the academic, personal, and professional experiences and ...
Investigation of the Cellular Response to Environmental Stresses
(2024-07-31)
Cells have a repertoire of responses to stress, spanning from triggering survival mechanisms to initiating cell death, which ultimately clears out compromised cells. The decision between activating protective or detrimental ...
Investigation of the Characteristics of an Axisymmetric Jet Subjected to Azimuthal Forcing
(2013-05-15)
Characteristics of an axisymmetric jet subjected to azimuthal forcing were investigated. A circular variable diameter iris was positioned near the nozzle exit to impart azimuthal excitation to the jet at desired Strouhal ...
An Investigation of the Coevolutionary Relationship Between Aprostocetus hagenowii (Ratzburg) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and its Cockroach (Blattodea) Hosts
(2023-08-02)
Oothecal parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) parasitize the egg cases (oothecae) of cockroaches (Blattodea). Oothecal parasitoids must have developed numerous adaptations to locate, parasitize, and develop within their hosts, ...
Investigation of the effect of phytogenic supplementation and probiotics on growth performance and immune parameters in channel catfish and shrimp.
(2025-12-04)
In recent decades, aquaculture has become leading contributors to global food supply and help economic development. However, disease outbreaks remain a serious challenge, leading to billions of dollars in losses each year. ...
Investigation of the Effect of Radiation on the Thermophoretic Motion of Soot Particles in Free-Molecular Regime
(2005-08-15)
The coupling of radiation and thermophoresis is hypothesized to result in attractive forces among soot particles in combustion environments. The effect of radiation from the soot particles on their thermophoretic motion ...
