Analysis of rural superintendents' perceptions of concealed carry handgun policies
(2014-12)
Active shooting events (ASE) have sparked the national debate of whether armed civilian school district employees could reduce the number of injuries or fatalities associated with these rampage assaults, or simply serve ...
Interdisciplinary studies non-thesis paper
(2012-10)
This portofolio contains a 15-page reflection paper of a Nigerian International Student and three class projects. The project papers are from assignments given in the Women's Studies, Human Development and Family Studies, ...
Numerical simulation of 1D compressible flows
(2014-12)
From clouds twirling overhead to the endlessly lapping waves of the oceans, fluids and gases have important impacts on everyday living. However, as ordinary and commonplace fluid and gaseous phenomena are, simulating them ...
Earnings Management: do the type of GAAP, persuasive client explanation, and SEC notification influence the auditors' decisions?
(Texas Tech University, 2003-08)
While many researchers have examined earnings management and the firm's motivation to manage earnings, few researchers have examined the role of auditors in potentially approving earnings management. Several factors influence ...
Interfacial water in Nafion studied by infrared spectroscopy and computation methods
(2013-08)
Interfacial interactions between water and the fluorinated proton exchange membrane material Nafion were studied by infrared spectroscopy and computational methods. Modern Fourier transform infrared spectra are reported ...
Caregivers' child rearing beliefs: Associations with structural and process features of child care quality
(Texas Tech University, 2003-12)
This study investigated links between process and structural features of childcare quality. Caregiver beliefs, a process feature of childcare quality, was the main focus since there is a limited amount of previous research ...
Metallo protein induced nitric oxide release from introsothiols
(Texas Tech University, 2004-12)
A kinetic investigation of the metallo amino acid induced decomposition of a low molecular weight nitrosothiol such as nitrosoglutathione has been studied. Selenium based metallo amino acids like selenocystamine dihydrochloride ...
Direct measurement of infiltration through a playa wetland using automated double ring infiltrometers
(2014-12)
Playa lakes are circular formations that appear as indentions in the earth’s surface and are thought to be of high importance to recharging the aquifer beneath the Southern High Plains. This thesis examines the relationship ...
An examination of hydrologic restoration efforts for wetland mitigation banks
(2014-12)
In the 1990’s, wetland mitigation banking began to emerge as an innovative method for replacing permitted wetland losses in the United States. From 1992 to 2005 the number of banks in the US increased by 780 percent and ...
Transition dynamics for muonium acceptor states in silicon germanium alloys
(2014-12)
In this study, we use longitudinal field muon spin relaxation (LF-µSR) technique to observe charge-state and site-change transitions of muonium in Si1-xGex samples (x = 0.45, 0.77, 0.81, 0.84, and 0.94). We primarily focus ...
