Exploring the emergence of an incipient English Pidgin in Kuwait: A continuum of bilingual behaviour
… widespread around the world (Rickford & McWhorter, 1997). The occurrence of an incipient trade pidgin variety is investigated, focusing on Kuwaiti-Migrant interactions in the context of a continuum of English-Arabic bilingual behavior. In order to explore such issues, the following …

And Then the Wall Rose: Counter Narratives of Black Males' Experience of Elementary Schooling in Urban Georgia
… to the margins. I challenge deficit discourse (McWhorter, 2001; Ogbu, 1990; Payne, 2005)to illustrate how public schools and policies perpetuate the underachievement of black males by denying their access to critical literacy and equitable opportunities. Methodologically, I utilize …

Torsion Subgroups Of Rational Elliptic Curves Over Odd Degree Galois Fields
<p>The Mordell-Weil Theorem states that if K is a number field and E/K is an elliptic curve that the group of K-rational points E(K) is a finitely generated abelian group, i.e. E(K) = Z^{r_K} ⊕ E(K)_tors, where r_K is the rank of E and E(K)_tors is the subgroup of torsion points on E. …

“I Forget to Enjoy the Book”: A Narrative Analysis of Adolescents’ Perceptions of Their Real Selves and Ideal Selves as Readers
<p>In the present study, the researcher sought to understand student perceptions of themselves as readers compared to their ideal selves as readers. This is in response to personal experience with struggling readers, as well as GADOE data showing the magnitude of the issue surrounding struggling …

Unsayable Somethings: Modern American Poetry, Language, and the Logic of Experience
By exploring the categorical similarities between popular models of science, political economy, psychology, and sexuality, this dissertation addresses modern U.S. poetry's obsession with conjuring the unsayable. Chapters 1 and 2 explore the social and conceptual landscape that came to align the …

High Performance Broadband Photodetectors Based on Graphene/Semiconductor Heterostructures
… graphene-based devices can be explained by the McWhorter model in which the fluctuation of carrier numbers is the dominant process of noise in low frequencies; thus, it can be scaled down by reducing the number of introduced charged carriers with optimized fabrication. Besides, the impact of …

Electrical characterization of high-k gate dielectrics for advanced CMOS gate stacks
… tends to be carrier number fluctuation model (McWhorter model). Furthermore, the noise mechanism tends to be mobility fluctuation model (Hooge model) when EOT reduces.

The Effects of Olfactory Stimuli on the Behavior of the Far Eastern/Amur Leopard (<i>Panthera pardus orientalis</i>) in Captivity
<p>Two Amur leopards from the Jackson Zoological Park were observed under continuous surveillance while on exhibit over 21 days to better understand the activity budget of leopards in captivity, and what effects olfactory stimuli may have on those activity patterns. Behaviors were observed through …

Water quality hydrology on surface mined watersheds
Water quality and discharge on four watersheds disturbed by surface coal mining at the Edna Mine in northwestern Colorado have been monito red for about three years. Water quality and discharge have also been monitored in an adjacent stream at points above and below the entrance of mine drainage …
