School Responses To High-stakes Testing
(Economics, 2007-08-23)This paper analyzes school's responses to high stakes testing. Using a grade level panel dataset from Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) for reading and math tests for 2003 through 2006, to find schools responses ... -
The Schooling Of African American Students In Junior High: Exploring The Preparation And Pedagogy Of Effective Teachers
Today, ethnically diverse learners represent the majority student population enrolled in the U.S. public school system. However, the teacher workforce remains predominately middle-class, female, and White. As ethnically ... -
SCHUBERT AND HIS ILLUSTRIOUS REPETITIVE NATURE
(2021-08-16)Schubert’s music is renowned for its repetitive nature; many critics like Dr. Joshua Drake think this is a negative trait of his compositions. When speaking on Schubert’s strengths and weaknesses, Dr. Drake states, “Haydn's ... -
'Schyre Leuez' And Cesspits: An Ecocritical Reading Of Land Use And Apocalypse In Cleanness
This thesis examines land use and apocalypse in Cleanness in order to investigate how land use participates in the construction of medieval social and political systems and how the apocalyptic destruction the land acts ... -
Scorpionate Supported And Unsupported Carbonyl And Ethylene Complexes Of Group 11 Metals
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2010-03-03)Carbon monoxide (CO) and small olefins represent perhaps the simplest, but most important ligand systems in coordination/organometallic chemistry. Simple carbonyl and ethylene compounds have started to appear in the field ... -
Sealing And Lamination Of Microfluidic Devices
(Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, 2008-09-17)A difficult problem facing microfluidic manufacturing of devices remains that often material requirements force device designers to choose materials that are difficult to bond, seal or enclose. Examples of these materials ... -
Search For A Supersymmetric Partner To The Top Quark Using A Multivariate Analysis Technique.
Supersymmetry (SUSY) is an extension to the Standard Model (SM) which introduces supersymmetric partners of the known fermions and bosons. Top squark (stop) searches are a natural extension of inclusive SUSY searches at ... -
The Search For Appropriate Form: The Relationship Between Landscape Architecture And Art In Three Time Periods
(Landscape Architecture, 2008-09-17)Art and landscape architecture are both a means through which man can explore the natural world around him; they provide an opportunity for self expression and reflection. This thesis is based on the hypothesis that several ... -
A Search For Creative Class Trail User Experiences Along The Katy Trail
(Landscape Architecture, 2008-08-08)This research focused on preferred urban trail attributes and related these to restorative places and user experiences. Focused interviews were employed in the study. Restoration was shown in aspects of naturalness and ... -
A Search For Design Appropriateness Using Qualitative Techniques To Contrast The Mountain Resort Community Cores Of Vail Village And Beaver Creek Village
(Landscape Architecture, 2011-03-03)This study uses in-depth interviews to compare the mountain resort village cores of Vail Village and Beaver Creek Village to determine levels of design appropriateness in each. Design appropriateness for a village core ... -
Search For Standard Model Higgs In Two Photon Final State At Atlas
(Physics, 2010-11-01)The Standard Model of particle physics describes very precisely the nuclear strong and weak forces and the eletromagnetic interaction, by the exchange of vector bosons. It also describes all matter as composed of quarks ... -
Search For Supersymmetry In Dijet And Multijet Channels And Soft QCD Measurements Using The ATLAS Detector At The Large Hadron Collider
(Physics, 2011-03-03)The ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has collected a substantial amount of data to understand the Standard Model of particle physics at higher than previous center of mass energy available and to ... -
A Search For The Higgs Boson In Its Associated Production With A W Vector Boson in p¯p Collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV
(Physics, 2008-04-22)We present the results of a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in its associated production with a W vector boson in p¯p collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using the complete Run IIA dataset with an integrated luminosity ... -
Search For The Standard Model Higgs Boson In eτ Final States
(Physics, 2013-07-22)Presented in this dissertation is a search for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson using the DØ detector at Fermilab in Batavia, IL. The SM is a fantastically accurate theory describing the fundamental interactions and ... -
Searches for Supersymmetric Particles with the ATLAS Detector using Boosted Decay Tree Topologies
(2016-08-05)The existence of a scalar Higgs particle poses a challenge to the Standard Model through an unnatural hierarchy problem with quadratic divergence. A supersymmetric framework, proposing heavy partners to every Standard Model ... -
Searches For The Exclusive Higgs and the Charged Higgs Bosons with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(2016-12-06)In this thesis, searches for the exclusive Standard Model (SM) and charged hMSSM Higgs bosons are performed. While observations of the SM Higgs boson in 2012 by ATLAS and CMS collaborations were ground-breaking, several ... -
Searching and Classifying Mobile Application Screenshots
(2016-12-16)Searching for a particular application layout image is a challenging task. No search provider gives an adequate method to filter the query results to the look of a mobile application. Searching for a particular style of ... -
Searching And Ranking Xml Data In A Distributed Environment
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2009-09-16)Due to the increasing number of independent data providers on the web, there is a growing number of web applications that require searching and querying data sources distributed at different locations over the internet. ... -
