Bibliography Tools In The Context Of Www And Latex, Munushree Thummala Jan 2007

Bibliography Tools In The Context Of Www And Latex, Munushree Thummala

Browse all Theses and Dissertations

Preparation of academic papers involves not only the creative processes but also the more mechanical tasks such as adjusting the form and style to suit the demands of the publishing journal or conference. Among several packages that help in these rather tedious mechanical tasks, the TEX + LATEX + BibTEX combination is extremely popular. This thesis is about tools that help in the necessary task of citing related work accurately. It focuses on three aspects of this larger bibliography frame work: (i) a survey of existing bibliography formats and tools, (ii) a database view of BibTEX files and functionality that …

Results From The Dc-8 Inlet Characterization Experiment (Dice): Airborne Versus Surface Sampling Of Mineral Dust And Sea Salt Aerosols, Cameron S. Mcnaughton, Antony D. Clarke, Steven G. Howell, Mitchell Pinkerton, Bruce Anderson, Lee Thornhill, Charlie Hudgins, Edward Winstead, Jack E. Dibb, Eric Scheuer, Hal Maring

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

During May and June of 2003 NASA conducted the DC-8 Inlet Characterization Experiment (DICE). The study was undertaken to quantify the performance of three passive, solid diffuser inlets used aboard the DC-8 aircraft to sample optically effective aerosol sizes. Aerosol optical properties measured behind the University of Hawai’i (UH) and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) inlets were within 10% of the ground based measurements whereas the NASA Langley (LaRC) inlet reduced scattering values for supermicrometer dust by approximately 50%. Based on the DICE results the aerodynamic 50% passing efficiency of the inlets and transport plumbing is determined to be …

Sharing A World Of Resources: Incorporating Science Content In Effective Interpretation, Anita Davis, Ruth Paglierani Jan 2007

Sharing A World Of Resources: Incorporating Science Content In Effective Interpretation, Anita Davis, Ruth Paglierani

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

Incorporating science content into the presentation of resource issues to the public is essential for effective interpretation. Science professionals are eager to share their work; interpreters are equally eager to learn about relevant science. Yet, interpreting science and resource issues remains a challenge. Professional development for interpreters is critical to effectively address this challenge. Here, we describe a proven model for integrating science into interpretation: the National Park Service (NPS)–NASA Earth to Sky Institutes. These institutes resulted in the creation of a variety of products using science in dynamic interpretation at many national parks.We highlight the methodology of the Earth …

Simulation Of Richtmyer–Meshkov Instability By Sixth-Order Filter Methods, Helen C. Yee, Bjorn Sjögreen Jan 2007

Simulation Of Richtmyer–Meshkov Instability By Sixth-Order Filter Methods, Helen C. Yee, Bjorn Sjögreen

United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Publications

Simulation of a 2-D Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI), including inviscid, viscous and magnetic field effects was conducted comparing recently developed sixthorder filter schemes with various standard shock-capturing methods. The suppression of the inviscid gas dynamics RMI in the presence of a magnetic field was investigated by Samtaney and Wheatley et al. Numerical results illustrated here exhibit behavior similar to the work of Samtaney. Due to the different amounts and different types of numerical dissipation contained in each scheme, the structures and the growth of eddies for the chaotic-like inviscid gas dynamics RMI case are highly grid size and scheme dependent, even …

Interpreter Of Maladies: Analyzing Current Young Adult Indo-Caribbean Literature For Inclusion In Today's High School Canon, Reshma Ramkellawan Jan 2007

Interpreter Of Maladies: Analyzing Current Young Adult Indo-Caribbean Literature For Inclusion In Today's High School Canon, Reshma Ramkellawan

HIM 1990-2015

The high school English Language Arts curricula of Central Florida has faced increasing scrutiny during the past decade under often conflicting influences such as a rapidly diversifying student population, activism for and against multicultural curriculum reform, and pressure to streamline curricula and make it conform to state testing standards. Against this social backdrop, the question of how to introduce Inda-Caribbean literature at the secondary level presents unique intellectual and political challenges. On the one hand, first and second generation Inda-Caribbean migrants make up an increasingly significant percentage of Florida's student population. Like other first and second generation Caribbean migrants, Inda-Caribbean …

Space Matters: An Institutional Critique Of Distance Learning Within The University Of Central Florida English Department, Lori Mumpower Jan 2007

Space Matters: An Institutional Critique Of Distance Learning Within The University Of Central Florida English Department, Lori Mumpower

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation examines distance learning within a local, particular context: UCF's English department. In order to fully examine distance learning in this specific environment, I employ institutional critique as my methodology, a rhetorical and spatial approach that allows me to map distance learning within UCF's English department. Drawing upon the work of David Harvey, I examine the experienced, perceived, and imagined spaces of distance learning in our department. Through an examination of the history of naming UCF, rhetorical analyses of institutional documents that reference technologies, analysis of survey results noting faculty attitudes and perceptions of online learning, and postmodern mapping …

Recreational Technology And Its Impact On The Learning Development Of Children Ages 4-8: A Meta-Analysis For The 21st Century Cl, Joey Templeton Jan 2007

Recreational Technology And Its Impact On The Learning Development Of Children Ages 4-8: A Meta-Analysis For The 21st Century Cl, Joey Templeton

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This research focuses on technology (specifically video games and interactive software games) and their effects on the cognitive development of children ages 4-8. The research will be conducted as a meta-analysis combining research and theory in order to determine if the educational approach to this age group needs to change/adapt to learners who have been affected by this technology. I will focus upon both the physical and mental aspects of their development and present a comprehensive review of current educational theory and practice. By examining current curriculum goals and cross-referencing them to research conducted in fields other than education (i.e. …

Patchwork Culture: Quilt Tactics And Digitextuality, Michelle P. Barrett Ferrier Jan 2007

Patchwork Culture: Quilt Tactics And Digitextuality, Michelle P. Barrett Ferrier

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Embedded in the quilt top, the fabric patches are relays, time pathways to stories and memories of their former owners. Through the quilts, the voices of the past survive. The stories trace a path of connection between oral traditions, storytelling, the invention of meaning, and the preservation of cultural memory. The theory and method described herein use the quilt patchwork metaphor as the basis for a web interface for designing and modeling knowledge-based graphical, narrative, and multimedia data. More specifically, the method comprises a digital storytelling and knowledge management tool that allows one or more users to create, save, store, …

A Study Of Effective Soil Compaction Control Of Granular Soils, Vincent P. Drnevich, Aaron C. Evans, Adam Buser Prochaska Jan 2007

A Study Of Effective Soil Compaction Control Of Granular Soils, Vincent P. Drnevich, Aaron C. Evans, Adam Buser Prochaska

JTRP Technical Reports

Although it is known that impact compaction tests are not appropriate for granular soils, these tests continue to be widely used. Excessive settlements frequently occur in granular soils where specified field compaction is based on Standard Proctor (ASTM D 698; AASHTO T 99) maximum dry unit weights. A laboratory test program evaluated alternative test methods for granular soil compaction control and showed that a Vibrating Hammer method (similar to British Standard BS 1377:1975, Test 14) has great promise for laboratory compaction of these soils. A One-Point Vibrating Hammer test on an oven-dry soil sample is able to provide the maximum …

From Habermas To "Get Rich Or Die Tryin": Hip Hop, The Telecommunications Act Of 1996, And The Black Public Sphere, Akilah N. Folami Jan 2007

From Habermas To "Get Rich Or Die Tryin": Hip Hop, The Telecommunications Act Of 1996, And The Black Public Sphere, Akilah N. Folami

Michigan Journal of Race and Law

This Article explores the manner in which gangsta rappers, who are primarily young urban Black men, navigate the mass media and rap's commercialization of the gangsta image to continue to provide seeds of political expression and resistance to that image. While other scholars have considered the political nature of rap in the context of the First Amendment, this Article's approach is unique in that it is the first to explore such concepts through the lenses of Habermas' ideal public sphere and those of his critics. While many have written gangsta rap off as being commercially co-opted or useless given its …
