Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) material containing 20 wt% vinyl acetate (EVA20) was
treated with corona discharge to improve its adhesion to polychloroprene adhesive. Several experimental variables in the corona discharge treatment of EVA20 were considered: corona energy, type of electrode,…

The classical problem of deflection of a cantilever beam of linear elastic material, under the action of an uniformly distributed load along its length (its own weight) and an external vertical concentrated load at the free end, is experimentally and…

BACKGROUND:Giardia is the most frequently identified intestinal parasite in North America. Although information on geographical distribution of giardiasis is critical in identifying communities at high risk, little has been done in this area. Therefore, the objective of this study was…

This thesis presents an in-depth study of statistical mechanical systems having microcanonical equilibrium properties, i.e., energy-dependent equilibrium properties, which cannot be put in correspondence with their canonical or temperature-dependent equilibrium properties. A general theory of these systems which focuses both…

This inquiry is a phenomenological exploration of the development of two student teachers undergoing their practicum experience in my secondary classroom. It examines the changes in identity that the student teachers underwent and how those changes came about. The goals…

This qualitative study researched the meaning of instruction in a cycle one classroom. The following questions guided my research: How is literacy instruction implemented in a cycle one classroom? (a) What events take place in the class? (b) How does…
