Software Quality Modeling And Analysis With Limited Or Without Defect Data, Naeem A. Seliya Jan 2005

Software Quality Modeling And Analysis With Limited Or Without Defect Data, Naeem A. Seliya

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

The key to developing high-quality software is the measurement and modeling of software quality. In practice, software measurements are often used as a resource to model and comprehend the quality of software. The use of software measurements to understand quality is accomplished by a software quality model that is trained using software metrics and defect data of similar, previously developed, systems. The model is then applied to estimate quality of the target software project. Such an approach assumes that defect data is available for all program modules in the training data. Various practical issues can cause an unavailability or limited …

Studies On The Base-Promoted Conversion Of Conjugated Alkynyl Esters To Alpha-Substituted Alpha-Allenyl Esters, Yuanjun He Jan 2005

Studies On The Base-Promoted Conversion Of Conjugated Alkynyl Esters To Alpha-Substituted Alpha-Allenyl Esters, Yuanjun He

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

We report here the development of an efficient method for the conversion of a variety of conjugated alkynyl esters to alpha-substituted conjugated allenyl esters (racemic) through the use of strong amide bases. Substantially improved yields over typical enolate formation conditions were observed with the use of two equivalents of lithium diisopropylamide. Trapping studies indicate that the second equivalent of base likely leads to the dianion intermediate which upon addition of methyl iodide and trimethylsilyl chloride gives mixtures of alpha-substituted conjugated allenyl and beta,gamma-alkynyl deconjugated esters. Further optimization revealed that additive salts such as LiCl lead primarily to the allenyl product …

Stress Protein Expression And Green Turtle Fibropapillomatosis, Monica E. Mcgarrity Jan 2005

Stress Protein Expression And Green Turtle Fibropapillomatosis, Monica E. Mcgarrity

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Green turtle fibropapillomatosis (GTFP) is a highly debilitating disease that affects several species of marine turtles worldwide. This study evaluated stress protein expression in red blood cells (RBCs), skin and tumors of green turtles (Chelonia mydas) from a GTFP-prevalent site and a more pristine, GTFP-free site. Levels of expression of HSP72 were significantly higher in healthy turtles from the GTFP-prevalent site compared to healthy turtles from the GTFP-free site, suggesting that these turtles are, indeed stressed. Levels of HSP72 expression were also significantly higher in the nucleated RBCs than in skin tissues of turtles from both sites. These results demonstrate …

Children's Understanding Of Sleep And Death: Implications Of Intentional Persistence For Theory Of Mind And The Theory Theory/Simulation Debate, Christopher A. Cormier Jan 2005

Children's Understanding Of Sleep And Death: Implications Of Intentional Persistence For Theory Of Mind And The Theory Theory/Simulation Debate, Christopher A. Cormier

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Bering and Bjorklund (2004) reported that (1) the knowledge that conscious mental states cease with the onset of death (discontinuity reasoning, "DR") emerges developmentally; and (2) DR for some states (emotions, desire, epistemic) is more difficult than others (psychobiological, perceptual). In the current study, preschool/kindergarteners, 2nd/3 rd graders, 5th/6th graders and adults viewed a puppet story in which an anthropomorphized juvenile mouse character was explicitly enriched with a variety of mental states prior to falling asleep; the results were highly similar to those of Bering and Bjorklund. Statistical comparison of these data with those of Bering and Bjorklund demonstrates that …

Color Lines: "Passing" And Its Implications For Literary Subjectivity In Richard Wright And Boris Vian, Celine Guillerm Jan 2005

Color Lines: "Passing" And Its Implications For Literary Subjectivity In Richard Wright And Boris Vian, Celine Guillerm

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

If mid-twentieth-century African-American authors based discussions of race in America on the theories of prominent Franco-African writers, African-American writers such as Richard Wright were also highly influential in discussions of race in the French literary context. Wright's novel Native Son focuses on protagonist Bigger Thomas, a young black man who accidentally commits murder. After realizing how the white community has interpreted his act, Bigger tries without success to break free of "double consciousness," or fragmented subjectivity, first articulated by W. E. B. DuBois. Boris Vian's text J'irai cracher sur vos tombes problematizes Wright's literary analysis of race through protagonist Lee …

Comparative Study Of Elementary Character Education Programs And Their Levels Of Alignment To Florida State Statute, Margaret Cullen Daniels

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Since the shots rang out in Columbine, the call for the return of character education in our schools has been heard all across the United States. After the September 11th travesty, the call became a cry! Nearly every state across the nation is listening. In 2002 Florida legislators strengthened the 1999 character education legislation by mandating instruction of nine core ethical values: citizenship, cooperation, honesty, kindness, patriotism, respect, responsibility, self-control and tolerance. In 2005, the Florida Department of Education released a technical assistance paper to help Florida school districts assess their compliance to four requirements: correlation to sunshine state standards …

Competition Between Opposing Motion Directions In The Perception Of Apparent Motion: A New Look At An Old Stimulus, Avia Huisman Jan 2005

Competition Between Opposing Motion Directions In The Perception Of Apparent Motion: A New Look At An Old Stimulus, Avia Huisman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

This study tested the hypothesis that the perception of 2-flash apparent motion (points of light are briefly presented in succession at a nearby locations) is the outcome of competition between two opposing motion directions activated by the stimulus. Experiment 1 replicated previous results obtained using 2-flash stimuli; motion was optimal for a non-zero inter-frame interval (Kolers, 1972; Wertheimer, 1912). In Experiment 2, stimuli were pared down to a single luminance change toward the background at one location, and a single luminance change away from the background at one location at another. Results were consistent with apparent motion being specified by …

Crystallographic Finite Element Modeling For Dislocation Generation In Semiconductor Crystals Grown By Vgf Process, Gary. Sheu Jan 2005

Crystallographic Finite Element Modeling For Dislocation Generation In Semiconductor Crystals Grown By Vgf Process, Gary. Sheu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

The generation and multiplication of dislocations in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and Indium Phosphide (InP) single crystals grown by the Vertical Gradient Freeze (VGF) process is predicted using a transient crystallographic finite element model. This transient model is developed by coupling microscopic dislocation motion and multiplication to macroscopic plastic deformation in the slip system of the grown crystals during their growth process. During the growth of InP and GaAs crystals, dislocations are generated in plastically deformed crystal as a result of crystallographic glide caused by excessive thermal stresses. The temperature fields are determined by solving the partial differential equation of heat …

Diterpene Biosynthesis In Early Ontogenetic Stages Of Pseudopterogorgia Elisabethae And Pseudopterogorgia Bipinnata, Maia Stapleton Mukherjee Jan 2005

Diterpene Biosynthesis In Early Ontogenetic Stages Of Pseudopterogorgia Elisabethae And Pseudopterogorgia Bipinnata, Maia Stapleton Mukherjee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

There is growing evidence that secondary metabolites isolated from some marine invertebrates may actually be produced by a symbiont. The capacity of early ontogenetic stages of Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae and Pseudopterogorgia bipinnata to biosynthesize biologically active and pharmaceutically important diterpenes was examined. These early life stages lack the algal symbionts found in adult colonies of the species, thus removing one level of complexity. The larvae and polyps of these two species produced high concentrations of the diterpenoid secondary metabolites, one of which proved to significantly deter fish-feeding in in situ feeding assays. Additionally, a novel cembrenoid diterpene was isolated from P. …

Ecocritical And Metaphorical Analysis Of "Cereus Blooms At Night", Rhonda A. Kaleel Jan 2005

Ecocritical And Metaphorical Analysis Of "Cereus Blooms At Night", Rhonda A. Kaleel

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Nature is an important symbol in Cereus Blooms at Night by Shani Mootoo. The metaphorical comparisons are interlaced within the colonial usurpation which fuels the novel into becoming an ecocritical statement, because without the health of the environment, both human and non-human species alike decay and die because of colonial encroachment. Shani Mootoo illustrates the ecological clash between the wetlands and the tropics through an intricate narrative involving people who are dominated by their environments and cultures, or lack thereof, which create great chasms to overcome. Through critical nature symbols such as the town of Paradise versus the wetlands, the …

Effect Of Child Temperament In Parent-Child Interactions In A Teaching Task, Jodi Mckay Jan 2005

Effect Of Child Temperament In Parent-Child Interactions In A Teaching Task, Jodi Mckay

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between specific measures of child temperament and parent-child interaction in a problem-solving task. One prediction is that children's behavior in a problem solving task will be dictated by their unique temperamental characteristics. It is also thought that child temperament will be related to parental sensitivity to child's emotional cues and understanding as well as teaching strategies and joint decision making. Another prediction is that temperament affects joint attention between children and their parents. Previous research using aggregated dimensions of temperament have found a relation between child temperament and parent-child interaction, …

Evidence Of Social Learning Mechanisms And Teaching Behavior Of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella Frontalis) By Mother Dolphins Foraging In The Presence Of Calves, Courtney Elizabeth Bortot Jan 2005

Evidence Of Social Learning Mechanisms And Teaching Behavior Of Atlantic Spotted Dolphins (Stenella Frontalis) By Mother Dolphins Foraging In The Presence Of Calves, Courtney Elizabeth Bortot

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

The present study examined the alteration of benthic foraging behavior by mother Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) when foraging in the presence of their calves in comparison to the foraging behaviors of the mothers when the calves were not present. The mother dolphins chased prey significantly longer and made significantly more body-orienting movements during foraging in which calves were present. In 5 of the events where the calves were present the prey was not eaten by the mother, but instead the calves were allowed to pursue the prey and were confirmed to have eaten the prey in 3 of the …

Fashion And Power: The Representation Of Gender In Store Window Displays, Kami T. Barrett Jan 2005

Fashion And Power: The Representation Of Gender In Store Window Displays, Kami T. Barrett

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Fashion and dress have a complex relationship to identity. The clothes we choose to wear can express our identities in terms of gender, race, class, and/or sexuality, among other things. This study examines how gender, race, and class are used to interpellate primarily female shoppers through store window advertising in the city of London, England. Using a feminist cultural and media studies approach, I analyze eight store window display advertisements as texts, and how their portrayals of women are presented to consumers. This study concludes that stereotypical, degrading, humiliating and violating representations of women and femininity abound in store window …

Four Hostile Newspapers: The Role Of Bal Gangadhar Tilak And Arthur Griffith In Constructing A National Identity In India And Ireland, Susan A. Rosenkranz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Although historians have begun to explore the impact of Irish nationalism on India's nationalists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, few studies have examined the link between Irish and Indian journalism in that same era. While the Indian National Congress and the Irish Parliamentary Party pursued constitutional means to achieve Home Rule, their elitist composition ensured that neither enjoyed broad appeal. Thus, the emergence of a viable native press played a critical role in the forging of a national identity. In the vanguard of the movement were editors Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Arthur Griffith, whose newspapers provided a …

Increasing Learn Units By Special Education Teachers: Supervision Via Bug-In-Ear Technology, Janet I. Goodman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

Preparing teachers for diverse populations in the 21st century is a daunting task that must be addressed systematically. Because society requires strict accountability measures (Danielson, 1996; NCLB, 2002), educators must ensure that students achieve at high levels. Teacher education literature increasingly addresses the need for standards and accountability (Hardeman, McDonald, & Welch, 1998) and stresses the importance of well-researched, teacher preparation methods. While teacher education institutions face the challenges of preparing a greater quantity and higher quality of teachers, a teacher shortage continues to exist (SREB, 2001). Several researchers have focused on efficient and effective means of preparing teachers who …

Influence Of Eliot's Modernism In Two Early Novels And Autobiographies Of Doris Lessing, M. Catherine Burns Jan 2005

Influence Of Eliot's Modernism In Two Early Novels And Autobiographies Of Doris Lessing, M. Catherine Burns

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2000 - 2009

There is deep personal and artistic empathy for T. S. Eliot's modernist poetry in Doris Lessing's early novels and two later autobiographies. As Eliot did, Lessing uses the modernist doctrine of difficulty to portray the education and development of the writer-artist as a long, problematic process, involving prodigious, rigorous, energetic reading efforts, and self-conscious reflexive writing. Lessing also frequently quotes other authors, and she thoroughly uses subverted allusive schemes and extrusive structural complications to render realism in her narratives more vividly. Her mature aesthetic sets at a distance a sense of personal displacement, exile, and uncertain cultural identity and echoes …
