Implications and Perceptions of Students and Teachers Participating in Two Ninth Grade Success Academies During the Year of Implementation
(2008-08-15)
This study is a comparative case study of two Ninth Grade Success Academies at two school sites in south Alabama. Ninth Grade Success Academies use school within a school modelthat isolates freshman from upperclassmen while ...
Importance of Heat Transfer During Carbon Monoxide Oxidation
(2015-07-28)
Interest in Carbon Monoxide Oxidation dates back to 1922 by Irving Langmuir himself. Since, a wide body of work has surfaced. Commercially available catalysts work in low humidity and high CO concentrations, such as ...
The Importance of the Ancient Greek Blood Ritual to the Tales of Edgar Allan Poe
(2008-05-15)
This thesis contends that in several of Poe’s seminal short stories the author inserted as a common theme the ancient Greek sacrifice gone wrong. Uncovering these symbolic rituals will help us to understand Poe as a writer ...
Imprinting Community College Computer Science Education with Software Engineering Principles
(2012-05-01)
