(2003-12-10)Department: Electrical EngineeringThis thesis presents the use of constraint programming for scheduling tasks in time triggered real time systems undergoing mode changes. The scheduling problem is initially decomposed into schedules for individual modes, ...
-
(2018-03-24)Department: PsychologySelfhood is experienced at multiple levels in healthy individuals with the minimal, unconscious self providing the building block for self-identity. In control populations, emotional experiences and awareness of physiological ...

(2019-07-19)Department: Special EducationThe transition from middle to high school is a critical moment in students’ academic careers, when school engagement, grades, and attendance tend to decline while misbehavior and reports of depression and loneliness rise. ...
-
(2011-03-22)Department: PsychologyParent involvement in education is associated with positive student outcomes; however, little is known about how parents construct their ideas about their responsibilities in their children’s learning. This study examined ...
-
(2016-07-05)Department: Leadership and Policy StudiesThe federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 was a performance-based school accountability system. The basic assumption behind this system was that its sanction system would provide adequate incentives for educators ...
-
(2016-04-12)Department: Community Research and ActionIn recent years, students have been excluded from school at consistently high rates, even as school crime rates have declined. Moreover, students of color are excluded at disproportionately high rates compared to their ...

(2009-07-27)Department: Leadership and Policy StudiesFrom as early at the 1840s, the United States federal government has been directly involved in education research and development. With the passage of No Child Left Behind (2001) and the Education Sciences Reform Act ...
-
(2020-09-14)Department: Electrical EngineeringWith scaling of CMOS technology, single event effect (SEE) has become more and more significant due to the increasing packing density and the reducing supply voltage and node capacitance. Therefore, radiation hardened by ...
-
(2022-05-16)Department: PhysicsRegardless of its remarkable success, the standard model (SM) of particle physics is unable to explain experimental observations like dark matter (DM), or conceptual problems, like the hierarchy problem. Supersymmetry ...
-
(2016-03-28)Department: PhysicsA first search for pair production of dark matter candidates through vector boson fusion, in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, is performed with the CMS detector. The vector boson fusion topology enhances missing ...
-
(2011-08-30)Department: PhysicsHigh-mass states such as heavy gauge bosons (Z'), Kaluza-Klein resonances, and gravitons, all of which decay into di-lepton states, are predicted by several physics models. In this thesis a general search for high mass ...
-
(2023-07-18)Department: PhysicsOne of the most notable downfalls of the standard model (SM) and some of its theoretical extensions is the inability to provide a Dark Matter (DM) particle candidate with characteristics such that DM + DM ↔ SM + SM ...
