Since desegregation in the 1960s and 1970s, a gap in the test scores between ethnic groups has been identified, though it has probably been present for much longer. The gap between the test scores of Blacks and Whites is ...
Random Walks on Finite Fields and Heisenberg Groups
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Let H be a finite group and [mu] a probability measure on H. This data determines an invariant random walk on H beginning from the identity element. The probability distribution for the state of the random walk after n ...
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COGNITIVE COMPLEXITY AND POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP
(East Carolina University, 2012)

Analysis of Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Circular Dichroism (CD) and Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopies measure the difference in absorption between left and right circularly polarized light and parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized light as a function ...
The Effect of Teacher Modeling on Reading Behaviors, Fluency and Comprehension
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an intervention aimed at increasing time on task during silent sustained reading periods, teacher modeling, on reading fluency and comprehension scores in fifth grade ...
Diophantine Generation, Galois Theory, and Hilbert's Tenth Problem
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Hilbert's Tenth Problem was a question concerning existence of an algorithm to determine if there were integer solutions to arbitrary polynomial equations over the integers. Building on the work by Martin Davis, Hilary ...
