El capítulo I se centra en Jorge Luis Borges. Se profundiza en las ideas del autor como padre del boom con respecto a la espiralidad y la eternidad observadas tanto en su poesía como en su prosa con la finalidad de exponer ...

A lab study comparing several faking measures under a simulated selection context 

Yuan, Yuan (2015-07-24)
Industrial and organizational psychologists have long been aware that faking is a concern in the personnel selection practices. In high-stakes selection context, applicants can be highly motivated to fake good on personality ...

Laboratory and Field Characterization of Additive-Modified Asphalt Concrete Mixtures 

Kmetz, Matthew (2023-11-27)
There is a need for a more rapid system of evaluation and implementation for new and existing asphalt additives, especially due to the prohibitive cost of full-scale performance evaluations. To help to meet this need, ...

Laboratory and Field Measurements of Moisture Content and Bulk Electrical Conductivity of Subgrade and Base Course Materials 

Diekmann, Amy (2023-08-04)  ETD File Embargoed
Moisture content can impact the resilient modulus of pavement base course and subgrade layers. Given its influence on the post-inundation resilient moduli of the coastal pavement and base course and subgrade layers, it is ...

Laboratory and Field Testing of Precast, Three Sided Arch Culverts 

Meadows, Richard L. (2012-05-10)
The use of precast, three-sided arch culverts has become fairly popular for new short-span bridges and bridge replacements due to their rapid construction time, aesthetic appeal, and minimal impact to the waterway, but ...
