An Analysis of Municipal Financial Behavior Using the National League of Cities’ Typology
(2007-08-15)
Municipal finance research is an endeavor that requires the classification of cities for comparison purposes. Traditional methods of grouping cities have relied primarily on the form of government (mayor versus manager) ...
Analysis of p62-UBA interacting proteins
(2006-05-15)
Sequestosome 1/p62 interacts with and traffics K63-polyubiquitinated proteins through its ubiquitin associating domain (UBA). Herein we demonstrate that the hyperaccumulation of K63-polyubiquitinated proteins occurs in the ...
Analysis of Pant Pattern Shapes for Tween Girls Based on 3D Body Scans
(2008-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare pant patterns for normal,
overweight, and obese tweens in order to develop a better understanding of variations in
pattern dimensions and shape. The goal was to evaluate ...
An Analysis of Perceptions of Career Technical Education in Alabama’s Schools
(2011-02-07)
Career technical education in the State of Alabama has undergone significant change over the last decade (Key, 2008). There are more technology driven programs in the high wage, high skill, and high demand occupational ...
An Analysis of Quality of Non-Traditional Beef Grind Material versus Traditional Beef Grind Material for Ground Beef Products
(2013-05-06)
An experiment was conducted to evaluate quality differences between traditional and non-traditional grind materials. Three traditional grind sources (T) were compared with seven non-traditional grind sources (N): 7% fat ...
Analysis of Record and Playback Errors of GPS Signals Caused by the USRP
(2014-12-10)
In this thesis, the errors created by the USRP (Universal Software Receiver Platform) during record and playback are analyzed. The USRP is used for jamming, spoo fing, and
GPS processing, and has recently become widely ...
An Analysis of Sales Training Effectiveness within the Housing Market
(2012-05-04)
The purpose of this study was to assess the performance outcomes of a sales training program. This study is unique in a number of ways. First, it focuses on an under-studied area (sales training effectiveness). Second, ...
An analysis of sediment provenance for Carboniferous sandstones in the Ouachita-Arkoma Basin based on detrital muscovite 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and sediment composition
(2019-12-04)
The Arkoma-Ouachita Basin of southeast Oklahoma and central Arkansas, part of the vast Appalachian-Ouachita foreland system, evolved from a passive margin deep-water remnant ocean basin (Ouachita) between Laurentia and ...
Analysis of Simulated Performance of Integrated Vector Tracking and Navigation Loops for GPS
(2005-12-15)
An alternative GPS signal tracking method that uses an extended Kalman-Bucy filter in place of traditional independent, parallel tracking loops is presented in this thesis. Furthermore, this method is extended into a ...
Analysis of Slope Failures Along Alabama Highways
(2018-08-20)
Slope stability management systems (SSMSs) have been developed by multiple state transportation agencies to assess landslides adjacent to highways—aiding in the effective allocation of resources for slope and/or roadway ...
An analysis of social-ecological elements influence on weight gain in children from Alabama.
(2021-04-20)
Childhood obesity generally tracks through the life course of an individual and is related to the increased risk of metabolic and chronic disease later in life. Additionally, excess weight during childhood increases chances ...
Analysis of Stable Isotopes of Hydrogen to Determine Migrational Source of Silver-Haired Bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) in Alabama
(2008-08-15)
Signatures of deuterium obtained from claws of 21 silver-haired bats (Lasionycteris noctivagans) were used to estimate the nearest probable pre-migratory location of these bats. For 5 consecutive weekends beginning 28 ...
Analysis of stochastic vector-host epidemic models
(2017-07-25)
In this dissertation, deterministic and stochastic mathematical models are proposed to study vector-host epidemic models with direct transmission. The total population of the host and the vector is divided into different ...
