Program Dosage and Relationship Quality in Healthy Relationship Education: The Role of Facilitation Alliance
(2019-04-18)
Program dosage and facilitation alliance have been related to improvements, namely couple relationship quality, in Couple Relationship Education (CRE) programs. However, little has been done to investigate how these variables ...
Program Evaluation of Elementary School Field Trips to a Botanical Garden
(2017-08-03)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate Fernwood Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve’s 4th grade environmental science pond studies field trip programs. Student knowledge gain and attitude towards subject matter was ...
A program evaluation of the State of Alabama Independent Living Services Program
(2017-11-06)
The transition to independent living is a celebration of leaving a dependency life stage and transitioning into a life stage of autonomy. However, for individuals with significant disabilities who require assistance, they ...
Progress on the Marcus-de Oliveira Determinantal Conjecture
(2017-04-12)
We discuss the well known conjecture of Marcus and de Oliveira of the determinant of the sum of normal matrices. We present the motivation of this conjecture, along with detailed history of its origin. Then we compile ...
Project-Based Learning in Adult English as a Second Language Programs: A Multiple Case Study
(2015-12-10)
Given the influx of internationals immigrating to the United States (US), English language learners (ELLs) are now the fastest growing group of students in the country with 65% of them being born in the US (DaSilva, Combs, ...
Promethazine Orally Disintegrating Tablet
(2006-05-15)
Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) which disintegrate rapidly (< one minute) in the mouth and do not require water for administration have become a very popular dosage form. Current methods of manufacturing ODTs are ...
Promoted ZnO Sorbents for Wide Temperature Range H2S and COS Removal from Reformate Streams for Applications in Fuel Cells
(2011-05-18)
High efficiency desulfurization is critical to maintain the activity of fuel processing catalysts and high-value membrane electrode assemblies in logistic fuel cell systems. On-board fuel processing of liquid hydrocarbon ...
Promoting Nitrification in Poultry Processing Wastewater Treatment Using Microalgae and Biochar
(2022-08-03)
The exponential growth of the global population poses a need for more sustainable food production and waste remediation tactics. Waste-to-resource food production systems such as aquaponics and “poultry-ponics” may be the ...
Promoting Self-Determination in People with Disabilities within Vocational Rehabilitation
(2012-09-27)
A growing body of evidence suggests that the development of self-determination in persons with disabilities has a positive impact on adult outcomes such as employment. The primary mission of rehabilitation services is to ...
Promulgating Graduate Research and Disseminating Student Information through Web Applications and Database Management
(2006-05-15)
ASP.NET-based Web applications provide a means of promulgating graduate research and disseminating student information. Integrated with MS SQL Server databases, they provide on-demand, near-instantaneous access to information ...
"The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating": Sweeney Todd and the Modern Revenge Tragedy
(2010-04-02)
Revenge tragedies create a world where corruption leads to retribution through personal rather than civil channels. Although many have connected Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and the revenge tradition, few have explored ...
Propagation of Vaccinium arboreum by Stem Cuttings for Use as a Rootstock for Commercial Blueberry Production
(2012-04-19)
Commercial blueberries, including V. corymbosum and V. ashei, have very specific needs for optimum growth; hence, growing sites are limited. They require acidic soil (pH 4.0-5.5), good drainage, thorough aeration, and a ...
Propeller Design and Optimization Using a Robust Genetic Algorithm and a Computationally Efficient Solver
(2022-03-28)
A computationally efficient and reliable propeller design tool has been constructed using an advanced real coded Genetic Algorithm (GA) and a mid-fidelity potential flow solver. The GA constructs a population of propeller ...
Propeller Performance Analysis and Multidisciplinary Optimization Using a Genetic Algorithm
(2007-12-15)
A propeller performance analysis program has been developed and integrated into a Genetic Algorithm for design optimization. The design tool will produce optimal propeller geometries for a given goal, which includes ...
Properties of Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Heterodisulfide Reductase
(2019-07-17)
Global warming is a continuing crisis today. It has caused great damage to our planet and health. One of the leading causes of this issue originates from humans releasing an enormous amount of greenhouse gases into the ...
Properties of Nonmetric Hereditarily Indecomposable Subcontinua of Finite Products of Lexicographic Arcs
(2009-11-09)
Nonmetric hereditarily indecomposable subcontinua of finite products of Lexicographic arcs are examined. It is shown that these subcontinua cannot intersect certain subsets of the products. Then nonmetric hereditarily ...
A Property Based Approach to Integrated Process and Molecular Design
(2007-05-15)
In this work, a new simple yet effective, systematic method to synthesize and design molecules is presented. Visualization of the problem is achieved by employing an annex to the recently developed property clustering ...
A Property of GO-Topologies on the Reals
(2019-04-04)
In 1981 Peter de Caux proved that finite powers of the Sorgenfrey line are hereditarily D-spaces. In this paper we build on de Caux's technique to show that any subspace of a finite power of the reals with a generalized ...
