Hellfire, home, and harm: An investigation of the interaction between religiosity, family processes, and adolescent deviant behavior
(2005-05-15)
There is an abundant literature dealing with the relationship between religiosity and deviant behavior in adolescence (Baier & Wright, 2001; Johnson, de Li, Larson, & McCullough, 2000; Johnson, Jang, Larson, & de Li, 2001). ...
Help, Is There a Doctor in the Forum?: A Fantasy Theme Analysis of the Student Doctor Network Forums
(2008-08-15)
This thesis uses an applied methodology based on Bormann's (1972b) fantasy theme analysis to study the Internet communication in the Student Doctor Network (SDN) Forums. The Internet posts of several thousands of pre-medical ...
Helping Preschool Children Acquire Critical Literacy Skills Through Parent Training and Intervention
(2013-11-15)
Parents of young children often wonder how they can prepare their preschoolers to read. Many understand the importance of reading to their children and teaching the alphabet but they are unaware of another critical literacy ...
Hemicelluloses extraction and nanocellulose addition as a partial replacement for non-renewable adhesives in oriented strand board.
(2019-04-16)
Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product used for building wood-based structures (e.g., walls, floors, ceilings, furniture). This composite is manufactured with small pieces of wood (strands) linked together ...
Hemichordate phylogeny: a molecular and genomic approach
(2014-04-17)
The phylogenetic relationships within Hemichordata are significant for understanding the evolution of the deuterostomes. Hemichordates possess several important morphological structures in common with chordates, and they ...
Henry Thoreau and Carl Jung: More Day to Dawn
(2008-05-15)
My thesis investigates Thoreau from a Jungian perspective, concentrating primarily on Walden, with additional analysis of Thoreau’s biography and A Week On the Concord and Merrimack Rivers. I apply Jung’s concept of ...
Herbicide Performance and Weed Seedbank Dynamics as Affected by High Residue Conservation Agriculture Systems
(2009-11-12)
With the introduction of glyphosate-resistant crops in the late 1990’s, there has been widespread adoption of conservation agriculture systems throughout the southern portion of the United States, including Alabama. ...
Herbicide Tolerance and Weed Control of Longleaf Pine Native Understory Species
(2015-07-27)
The restoration of longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) is an important environmental issue due to the shrinking size of this once dominant forest type. The restoration of this ecosystem requires the presence of native understory ...
Herramientas Culturales: The Relationship Between Parental Influence, Social Initiative, and Academic Aspirations
(2017-07-27)
This study examined the relationship between parental influence, social initiative, and academic aspirations among Latino adolescents. Additionally, this study examined gender differences between the variables. Sample data ...
Heterogeneity-Aware Approaches to Optimizing Performance of Computing and Communication Tasks
(2005-12-15)
As the domain of computing and communication systems grows, heterogeneity among computers and subnetworks employed for a task also increases. It is important to understand how heterogeneity affects performance of computing ...
Heuristic Optimization Methods for the Characterization of Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Composite Materials
(2007-05-15)
Generally speaking, of the fundamental dynamic mechanical properties - mass, damping, and stiffness, damping is usually the most difficult to quantify. This is perhaps particularly true for composite materials which tend ...
Heuristics in Distributing Data and Parity with Distributed Hash Tables
(2021-11-30)
We compare multiple methods of distributing data and error correcting code across distributed hash tables. We focus on the scaling of distributed hash tables and at which methods moved the least amount of data while ...
HfC Structural Foams Synthesized from Polymer Precursors
(2005-12-15)
A study was conducted to investigate a new low cost approach to produce Hafnium Carbide (HfC) structural foams through the thermolysis and pyrolysis of polymer precursors. Hafnium carbide has a melting point of over 3900?C, ...
Hierarchical Fault Collapsing for Logic Circuits
(2005-05-15)
The process of grouping stuck-at faults into equivalence or dominance classes and
then selecting one representative for each class is known as fault collapsing. There
have been several techniques to collapse the faults ...
