The Relationship Among Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy, And Training Performance At A Government-Funded Nuclear Operations Complex In East Tennessee, Garland Sharp
Masters Theses
The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among self-efficacy, self-esteem, and training performance. This study was similar to a study conducted by Mone, Baker, and Jeffries in 1995. Using college students, Mone et al. (1995) tried to determine which construct, self-efficacy or self-esteem, more accurately predicted academic success. This study's purpose was to determine if relationships existed among self-efficacy, self-esteem, and training performance in an industrial training situation using employees in the workplace.
A self-esteem and self-efficacy instrument along with a written test were used to gather data from the entire population (N=75) of workers at …

Understanding The Role Of The Collector During Melt Blowing, Uzair Ahmad Qureshi
Masters Theses
Researchers at the University of Tennessee have previously reported [1-2] detailed on-line measurements obtained at various distances from the die during melt blowing (MB). While obtaining these measurements, the collector was moved far from the die (76cm) to obtain measurements that were relatively unaffected by the collector. This allowed a basic understanding of the MB process to be obtained without considering the influence of a collector.
For the work reported here, we placed a collector at somewhat more normal distances from the die (30–41 cm) to study its influence on the MB process. We assessed fiber motion from on-line measurements …
