American Civil Religion Reexamined: A Preliminary Study into Organic and Contrived Civil Theology 

Vidal, Troy (2007-05-15)
Civil religion forms both the basis and the underlying reality for any human society, informing the myth structure of society and how a society interprets itself within the structure of reality. A distinction, however, ...

American Masculinity in Contemporary Adult Comics 

Hill, Mark (2011-05-04)
The connections between American comics and American men have been an interest to the academy since Frederic Wertham’s attack on comic’s influence on American youth in 1954. This study examines the current trends in ...

AmericanWork, Inc. Supportive Living Program: A Program Evaluation 

Reed, Shelley (2012-08-29)
The AmericanWork, Inc. Supportive Living Program is a residential program for the severe and persistent mentally ill. This program evaluation sought to determine the variables which impact the consumer transitioning out ...

Amino acid supplementation of hydrolyzed feather meal for finisher pig diets 

Divakala, Kalyan (2008-05-15)
The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in pig diets completely with hydrolyzed feather meal (FM). Corn-SBM, finisher 1 and 2 positive control (PC) diets were formulated ...

Ammonium Thiosulfate and Potassium Thiosulfate as Potential Nitrification Inhibitors in Soils 

Galloway, Lane (2024-03-12)
Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) can vary according to soil properties, precipitation, and soil temperature. Nitrification inhibitors show potential to increase NUE by decreasing the amount of N lost from leaching and ...

Amount and quality of supervision as moderating factors between couple therapeutic alliance and change in couple therapy 

Jindal, Meetika (2005-12-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the moderating effect of quality and quantity of supervision on the relationship between couple therapeutic alliance and change in couple therapy. The sample is collected from ...

Amylin and pramlintide modulate γ-secretase activity and APP processing in lipid rafts 

Mousa, Youssef (2019-06-24)
The misfolded amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is generated in higher amounts in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), making this peptide a clinical hallmark for AD. A major site to produce Aβ is the lipid rafts, which are integral part of the ...

Analog Computation of a High Frequency Exactly Solvable Chaotic Communications System Using State Variable Networks 

Beal, Aubrey (2015-05-18)
The design of a high frequency, chaotic oscillator and linear matched filter has been shown as a viable means of electronic communication. Although many chaotic systems are noted for complex or unpredictable behavior, a ...

Analysis and Control of Dynamical Systems with Quasi-Periodic Coefficients 

Sharma, Ashu (2019-05-08)
Parametrically excited linear systems with oscillatory coefficients have been generally modeled by Mathieu or Hill equations (periodic coefficients) because their stability and response can be determined by Floquét theory. ...

Analysis and Correction of Three-Dimensional Proximity Effect in Binary E-Beam Nano-Lithography 

Anbumony, Kasi (2007-05-15)
One of the fundamental problems in transferring a circuit pattern onto a substrate using electron beam lithography is the proximity effect, which is due to electron scattering in the resist and results in the ``non-ideal"" ...
