The Geology And Geochemistry Of Volcanic Rocks In The Lava Mountains, California: Implications For Miocene Development Of The Garlock Fault, Deborah L Keenan
The Geology And Geochemistry Of Volcanic Rocks In The Lava Mountains, California: Implications For Miocene Development Of The Garlock Fault, Deborah L Keenan
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The Lava Mountains are located in the Mojave Desert, southern California along the Garlock Fault, a major continental strike-slip fault that separates the southwestern Basin and Range to the north from the Mojave block to the south. Chemical similar dacitic lava and pyroclastic flows erupted from the 9-km diameter Western Lava Mountains volcano. Dacites with limited chemical variability reflect interaction of mantle derived basalt with both metabasalt and graywacke of the Mesozoic Rand Schist and Cretaceous "Atolia-type" granitoids. Geophysical data suggests a low angle contact between these lithologies at a depth of about 20 km. This boundary may have served …

Development Of A Gis-Based Framework For Evaluating Space And Parking Utilization, Jyothi S Tallapragada
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Large organizations such as corporations and universities typically occupy many buildings. A typical university space includes classrooms, laboratories, offices, and parKing The cost of adding additional space is significant. Therefore, effective management and utilization of the space is critical, especially to organizations that are growing. Growth may be measured in terms of the number of employees or students. As the number of employees and students increase, the number of trips to the campus also increase. This poses a growing pressure on the parking supply at the campus; The main objective of this thesis is to develop a framework for evaluating …
A Qualitative Investigation Of The Long -Term Effects Of A Staff Development Project On Two Middle School Science Teachers' Literacy Practices, Lisa Patel Stevens
A Qualitative Investigation Of The Long -Term Effects Of A Staff Development Project On Two Middle School Science Teachers' Literacy Practices, Lisa Patel Stevens
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The focus of this study was to explore the changes in literacy practice that occurred after two middle school science teachers completed their participation in a long-term staff development project on content area literacy. There were two participants in this study, were a sixth-grade life science teacher in her 22nd year of teaching, and an eighth grade physical science teacher in her 4th year of teaching. Multiple data sources were collected, including field notes from the staff development meetings, interviews of participants and other school personnel, classroom observations, descriptive surveys, lesson plans, exit slips and evaluation forms; Qualitative methodologies were …
