Abstract:

Drawing upon information learned from the Institution Focused Study, Critical Influences Affecting the Contemporary Brass Playing Community is the result of a detailed enquiry into the learning of brass instruments. The thesis begins by contextualising brass learning within the historical and sociological setting of the British Brass Band movement and considers factors which have contributed towards contemporary performance values. Intending to identify and investigate the factors which best anticipate successful brass teaching and learning, the thesis describes two main areas of research whic

Abstract:

<p> Our school systems are in place to create positive citizens who can contribute to the greater good and to also create a foundation for a life of learning. Schools were originally formed to help our country become stronger in its infancy by generating a population that had common knowledge, baseline skills, especially in literacy, and the ability to be citizens who could move the country forward and keep leaders honest. The same holds true today. However, research is showing that one out of five high-school students is dropping out of school and not graduating within the traditional four-ye

Abstract:

Motivation for change has long been an aspect of dispute and discussion in psychology as different theories and disciplines have been applied to the necessities and needs of behaviour change (Miller and Rollnick, 1991). One theory that deals with the social-contextual conditions of behavioural change and psychological development is self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985; Ryan and Deci, 2000). According to this, an autonomous-authentic or self-determined behaviour seems to have an increased significance in the level of self-esteem felt by the individual (Deci and Ryan, 1985). The aim o

Abstract:

This thesis embodies an empirical investigation into the entrepreneurial and contingency (domestic environmental) factors which underlie the initial export venturing of manufacturing firms from Nigeria, a sub-Sahara African country. It situates the overall level of export entrepreneurship in Nigeria within a moderate to low range, but recognises the prevalence of illegal, across-the-border trade, as well as domestic environmental disincentives. Using an empirically validated exportentrepreneurial orientation construct, a high versus low export-entrepreneurial taxonomy was derived. The high exp

Abstract:

Falling film evaporators that operate in the nucleate boiling regime in the refrigeration industry offer a number of advantages over their flooded counterparts such as lower refrigerant charge and at times improved heat transfer. Existing literature has not characterised the influence of surface characteristics on the falling film boiling process, and they are poorly understood for the pool boiling process. The purpose of this study was therefore to experimentally measure the influence of roughness, material and nanostructures on the heat transfer of falling film boiling and pool boiling of sa

The purpose of this action research study was to determine how a critical theory curriculum implemented in a college-level art appreciation course impacted student understanding of an encyclopedic art museum. A critical theory-based curriculum unit was designed and implemented, and students were given assignments to assess their learning. The most significant assignment centered on a self-guided student visit to the art museum in which students made detailed observations of the museum spaces and responded to articles critiquing museum practices.

By means of car2x communication technologies (car2x) driver warnings can be presented to drivers quite early. However, due to their early timing they could be misunderstood by drivers, distract or even disturb them. These problems arise if, at the moment of the warning, the safety–critical situation is not yet perceivable or critical. In order to examine, when drivers want to receive early warnings as a function of the situation criticality, a driving simulator study was conducted using the two early warning stages of a multi stage collision warning system (first stage: informing the driver; s

The thesis seeks to develop a more sophisticated view of the black power movement in twentieth century America by analysing the movement’s cultural legacy.

The thesis argues that while the black power movement was not exclusively cultural it was essentially cultural.

Abstract:

This study quantifies the influence of debris cages on critical submergence at vertical intakes in reservoir configurations. Four model debris cages were constructed of light panel material. A vertical intake protruding one pipe diameter above the floor of a model reservoir was tested in six configurations: open intake pipe, a debris grate placed directly over the intake pipe, and debris cages representing widths of 1.5*d and 2*d and heights of 1.5*c and 2*c, where d is diameter of the intake and c is height of intake above reservoir floor. A selection of top grating configurations and a subme

Abstract:

The present study compared and analyzed intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors that influence students? interest to learn critical language. The study was based on comparison of two intrinsic motivational factors, Interest and Choice, and three extrinsic motivational factors, Effort, Travel goals, and Professional goals, between critical language and commonly taught language learners. The study also examined the role of self-efficacy in learning critical and commonly taught languages. There were 573 students enrolled in Chinese, Japanese, Russian, French, German, and Spanish classes in t

Abstract:

Bien que la plupart des recherches antérieures montrent qu'un pourcentage important des achats impulsifs est influencé par des promotions de vente, aucune étude à ce jour n’a examiné les mécanismes psychologiques qui soutiennent cette influence. Cette thèse vise à combler cette lacune importante. Elle étudie les processus affectifs-cognitifs-comportementaux qui sous-tendent l'influence des promotions sur les achats impulsifs. Elle examine également l’influence de catégories de promotions et certains traits de personnalité des consommateurs sur ces processus. Nous adoptons une approche cognitiv

Abstract:

Traditionally, void ratio, e has been used as a state variable for predicting the liquefaction behaviour of soils under the Critical State (Steady State) framework. Recent publications show that void ratio, e may not be a good parameter for characterizing sand with fines as the steady state, SS data points move downward in e-log(p) space up to certain fines content termed as threshold fines content, TFC. Thus, it was difficult to apply SS concept on sand with fines as a small variation of fines content may lead to different SS line. Many researchers proposed to used equivalent granular void r
