There’s a Rhythm to Our Method: An Endarkened Narrative of Four Black Women Teachers’ School Discipline Practices
(2022-11-21)
Due to Black women teachers’ cultural and historical legacies, Beauboeuf-Lafontant (2002) suggested
that Black women’s form of care is often demonstrative of a womanist ethic of caring, which is
defined by three ...
“There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute”: An Examination of P.T. Barnum’s Methods and Museum Controversy Today
(2014-01-09)
The purpose of this paper is to show that P.T. Barnum’s methods have been used in contemporary museums when dealing with controversial exhibits. This contention is supported by first exploring P.T. Barnum’s production of ...
There’s no place like home: University campus-student interaction to promote sense of belonging among first year international students
(2024-03-20)
Acclimating to a new environment can take a mental and emotional toll on anybody; compounding that change in an environment with a cultural change can intensify the toll. This study explores the initial perceptions and ...
Thermal Conductivity Determination of Octadecane and Eicosane near Phase Transition for Solid Specimen Prepared Subject to Controlled Freezing and Explaining the “Anomalous” Measurements in Terms of Solid-Solid Transition
(2018-07-23)
The effects of the freezing time and vacuum oven time (degasification time) associated with processing of two paraffins specimen, i.e. octadecane (C18H38) and eicosane (C20H42) on the temperature-dependent thermal conductivity ...
Thermal Conductivity Enhancment of Solid Eicosane-Based Silver Nanostructure-Enhanced Phase Change Materials for Thermal Energy Storage
(2015-07-29)
In this thesis, thermal conductivity of eicosane-based PCM was enhanced by suspending highly-conductive silver nanoparticles resulting in the formation of nanoparticle-enhanced PCM (NePCM). Eicosane (C20H42) was selected ...
