A Qualitative Study of Florida Tech Graduate Teaching Assistants’ Response to Coaching, Video Playback, and Coaching Paired with Video Playback with Regard to their Concerns, Self-Reflections, and Practice of Teaching
(2014-08)Florida Tech’s campus-wide GTA professional development training, the GTA Seminar, has no clear theory on which it was designed, employs only measures of satisfaction and open-ended feedback, and performs limited follow-up ... -
A Qualitative Study of Millennials in the Workplace: Gaining their Long-term Employment in News Media Firms in North Alabama
(2017-05)This qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to understand why millennials are not remaining long-term in news media firms located in North Alabama. Long-term is defined as three or more years of employment in ... -
Quantification of Frictional Drag due to Biofouling on In-Service Ships
(2016-09)The purpose of this research was to improve the quantification of frictional drag due to biofouling on in-service ships by advancing the knowledge and methodology used to study the interactions between fouling communities ... -
Quantification of in vivo oxidative damage in Caenorhabditis elegans during aging by endogenous F3-isoprostane measurement
(2013-01-30)Oxidative damage is thought to be a major cause in development of pathologies and aging. However, quantification of oxidative damage is methodologically difficult. Here, we present a robust liquid chromatography-tandem ... -
Quantifying Charge Transport in Chemically Doped Semiconducting Polymers
(2021)This report is for the Link Foundation, which generously provided me a graduate research fellowship. In this report, I outline a segment of the organic electronics and organic thermoelectrics fields, then detail the ... -
Quantifying Errors of Bias and Discriminability Emitted by Children during a Matching-to-Sample Task
(2018-07)Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) make errors during discrimination training regardless of antecedent or consequent procedures implemented to decrease errors. Further, these interventions are not ... -
Quantifying Responsiveness in the Vaccine Industry to Evaluate and Improve Pandemic Response
(2022-05)In the wake of the pandemic Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) we can look at many aspects of the global response, including social, scientific, and governmental. Current research in the areas of ... -
Quantifying software maintainability on re-engineered translation of FORTRAN to C++ code
(2004-10-05)Due to the expanding existence of old software, legacy systems, and obsolete platforms with many industries, software re-engineering has become a widespread methodology that assists engineers and software practitioners ... -
Quantifying the AGN-driven outflows in ULIRGs (QUADROS) – II. Evidence for compact outflow regions from HST [O III] imaging observations
(2018-05-05)The true importance of the warm, AGN-driven outflows for the evolution of galaxies remains uncertain. Measurements of the radial extents of the outflows are key for quantifying their masses and kinetic powers, and also ... -
Quantifying uncertainty and resilience on coral reefs using a Bayesian approach
(2013-12)Coral reefs are rapidly deteriorating globally. The contemporary management option favors managing for resilience to provide reefs with the capacity to tolerate human-induced disturbances. Yet resilience is most commonly ... -
A Quantitative Analysis of Errors during Conditional Discriminations: Changing Sample-Stimuli Disparity in Delayed Matching-To-Sample Task with Children Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder
(2019-12)Conditional discrimination skill is foundational in teaching many other functional skills in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and error occur during training. Antecedent- and consequence-based ... -
