Abstract:

Axe-heads made of a distinctive raw material are found at Mississippian sites across southern Illinois and the Ohio-Mississippi confluence region, yet little research has been done to determine their geological provenance. In this thesis, I use geochemical methods to analyze ground stone tools and debitage from across the Confluence Region in order to prove their origins in the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. I also compare patterns of axe-head production, consumption, and deposition to Charles Cobb's (2000) model of Mill Creek chert hoes, so as to gain a greater understanding of the polit

Abstract:

The accountability and responsibilities of school leaders have intensified greatly over the past decades and school leadership has become a strong focus of research.

This study uses observations, questionnaires, interviews and document analysis to unpack the perceptions of four Heads of Department (HoDs), the principal, and eight teachers on the tensions inherent in balancing the responsibilities of department head and subject teacher for Ho

Abstract:

In recent years, attempts to simplify the grammatical mechanisms used in syntax have led to proposals to reduce the relationships between elements in a sentence to relations between heads and complements, doing away with free adjunction. For the analysis of modifying relations one consequence has been the rise of analyses that use the properties of selecting heads to stipulate unexpected syntactic behaviour, such as the use of light verbs to derive transparency in complex verb constructions. This thesis shows that such accounts are empirically inadequate and argues that the relationship betwee

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>機械工程學系所<br>101<br>This study investigated various types of in-line gratings on generating the differential push-pull (DPP) signal for the tracking detection of an optical pick head (OPH). The method of in-line DPP is different from that of the conventional DPP. The advantage is that it doesn’t need to consider the relation between the track pitch of each disk type and the corresponding angle of diffraction orders. With the study, we obtained the quality of the tracking error signals (TESs) for various types of in-line gratings, and discussed the in-line grating patterns that ar
