Formalization of Novel Nomenclature
(2017)Imprecise usage of “Novel” as genre label until late 18th century. Argument exists that authors/booksellers responded to market tastes with labels. The reviewers avoiding terms like ‘Memoirs’ and ‘History’ for ‘Novel’ or ... -
Formative Assessment, Modification of Instruction, and Grade Three Achievement in Predominantly Economically Disadvantaged Hispanic Schools on the South Texas Border
(2013-05)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of formative assessment, data collection and analysis, and focused instruction by comparing the reading achievement, as measured by the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and ... -
Formulations of Lazaroid-U74389G for Organ Targeting and Potential Chemotherapy
(2011-05)Radiotherapy is an important tool in the treatment of brain tumors. However, radiotherapy‘s success is limited by its toxic lipid peroxidation effects on the surrounding tissues. Lazaroid U74389G (LAZ) is a 21-aminosteroid ... -
Forward Modeling of Post-Jurassic Shortening in the Southeast Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan
(2014-08)One outstanding issue in understanding the Cenozoic evolution of the Himalayan-Tibetan orogen is determining variations in the amount of crustal shortening along the length of the orogen. Current estimates assign ~50%-80% ... -
FPGA Prototyping Framework on ARROW SoCKit Board with Xillybus Interface and Standard FIFO
(December 2)Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has been a popular candidate in hardware acceleration for offloading compute-intensive tasks from the traditional microprocessors. Due to the parallel nature, algorithm functions ... -
Fractal Behavior of Smart Materials
(2017)Active structures allow for real time control of a structure’s shape, stiffness, and damping. Accurately characterizing the mechanical response of smart materials enhances their implementation into active structures. ... -
Fracture and Viscous Behavior of Polypropylene Composites Coating Insulators for Deep Water Oil Pipelines
(2013-12)Over the past few decades, polymer composites are being used as subsea insulation coatings material in deep water oil pipelines. Failure of the insulation coating materials can significantly affect oil production. The major ... -
Fracture Characterization at the Dickman Field, KS: Integrating Well Log and Prestack Seismic Analyses
(2012-08)Dickman Field, located in Ness County, Kansas, has produced 1.7 million barrels of oil since 1962 and is presently being evaluated by the University of Houston as a potential CO2 sequestration locality. The primary injection ... -
FRAMES AS CODES FOR STRUCTURED ERASURES
(2012-12)This dissertation studies the role of frames as codes. Frames are families of vectors that give rise to embeddings of Hilbert spaces. These embeddings can be interpreted as codes, because possible linear dependencies among ... -
