Principal Eigenvalue Theory for Time Periodic Nonlocal Dispersal Operators and Applications
(2014-07-02)
The dissertation is concerned with the
spectral theory, in particular, the principal eigenvalue theory for
nonlocal dispersal operators with time periodic dependence, and its
applications. Nonlocal and random dispersal ...
Principals' Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Reading Coaches and the Necessity of Reading Coaches within Elementary Schools
(2010-02-22)
Achieving 100% literacy is an important goal for many schools. Over the past 5-10 years, government legislation and federally funded programs such as Title I, No Child Left Behind, and Reading Initiatives, such as the ...
Printed Circuit Board Sensor Technology: Rigid vs. Flexible vs. Additive Manufacturing
(2022-07-21)
There is no denying that printed circuit boards (PCB) have integrated themselves into all sorts of technology that we have today. They are in the computers on which we work, the appliances we use, and the sensors that ...
Privacy Protected Location Based Services
(2009-08-04)
An increasing number of the mobile devices nowadays embedded with the GPS module (e.g., smart phones, PDAs and RFIDs), which makes the user can facilitated from the location based services. They can ask for the nearby ...
Privacy Protection of Employer Location based on Casper Query Processing
(2016-12-12)
Protection of location privacy is often an essential requirement for any new or established business organization. When a new store is being set up, the owners may want to protect their exact location in order to prevent ...
Privacy-Enabled Probabilistic Verification in Broadcast Authentication for Vehicular Networks
(2014-10-10)
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) possess an extremely dynamic nature accompanying the high mobility feature. In VANETs, each vehicle sends out safety messages at regular intervals of 100-300 ms. Since the purpose of ...
Private Forest Owners in Alabama: Profiles and Holding Size Distribution
(2006-05-15)
A large portion of forestland in Alabama is privately owned. Thus private forest owners in Alabama play an important role in producing timber, providing forest recreation, protecting biodiversity, etc. Two topics regarding ...

Private Schools in the South: Is It About Education?
(2006-05-15)
The question of whether or not private schools provide a better education than public schools has been the study of many studies. The question is important because of the large amount of tax money that is devoted to public ...
Privately-Owned Small Impoundments of Central Alabama: A Survey and Evaluation Of Management Techniques and Enhancements
(2009-07-15)
Small impoundments are abundant and widespread throughout central Alabama, and support a large portion of recreational fishing effort. Because the quality of fishing in these ponds is directly related to the management ...
Pro-Nerve Growth Factor Induced RhoA Kinase Activation in PC12 Cells
(2017-07-27)
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by neurodegeneration and progressive decline in memory, cognition and independence. Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) is the neurotrophin responsible for mediating neuronal survival and ...
Proactive Reuse
(2015-05-04)
In this thesis I explored how as a designer I could approach site design proactively where one use transitions into the next. These times of transition are points that are not respected in our society. Current trends offer ...
