“Now or Later?” When to Deploy Qualification Screening in Open-Bid Auction for Re-Sourcing
(INFORMS, 2021-08-05)This paper considers a resourcing setting in which a qualified supplier (the incumbent) and multiple suppliers that have not yet been qualified (the entrants) compete in an open-bid descending auction for a single-supplier ... -
“Now what?” : understanding the organizational exit experience of nonprofit board members.
(2021-04-28)Organizational exit is an inevitable phenomenon that organization members experience. However, extant research disproportionately focuses on the onboarding process, which overshadows the exit process. Understanding exit ... -
NS-Pten knockout mice show sex-and-age specific differences in ultrasonic vocalizations.
(2017-11-08)One signaling cascade that plays a crucial role in the development of an autistic-like phenotype is the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Mouse models that illustrate this connection include Fmr1, Tsc1, and NS-Pten deficient mice. ... -
Nudging Towards Socially Efficient Norms
(2020-05-22)Within groups, members must coordinate on similar levels of effort in order to finish their tasks at the same time. In group coordination games with multiple Nash equilibria such as the minimum effort game (MEG), which ... -
The Number of Conjugates of the Standard Representation of Sn in the General Linear Group over GF(2)
(2013-09-20)This report determines the normalizer of the standard representation of Sn in the general linear group of nxn matrices over GF(2). The size of the normalizer is then used to determine the number of classes of conjugate ... -
The Number of Generations in Matthew 1
(2017-05-23)Matthew says the genealogy of Jesus at the beginning of his Gospel has three sets of 14 generations. However, the third set seems to have only 13. This thesis reviews propositions regarding the number of generations, and ... -
Numerical analysis of a multi-physics model for trace gas sensors.
(2015-03-13)Trace gas sensors are currently used in many applications from leak detection to national security and may some day help with disease diagnosis. These sensors are modelled by a coupled system of complex elliptic partial ... -
Numerical and theoretical study of natural oscillations of supported drops with free and pinned contact lines.
(2021-04-19)The oscillation of drops supported by solid surfaces is important to a wide variety of applications, such as dropwise condensation. Identification of the natural frequencies of supported drops of different sizes and liquids ... -
Numerical determination of elastic and viscoelastic properties of aligned continuous and discontinuous fiber reinforced composites.
(2016-08-03)Micro-mechanics analysis using the Representative Volume Element (RVE) approach implemented with the Finite Element Method (FEM) has been extensively exploited for determining material properties of unidirectional fibrous ... -
Numerical modeling, uncertainty analyses, and machine learning for decision support in the geosciences.
(2020-07-01)My first paper shows the importance of numerical modeling and post-calibration uncertainty analyses for making decision to monitor waste transport at a naval waste repository site in Texas. For this, MODFLOW and MODPATH ... -
Numerical prediction and correlation of leading edge jet impingement with varying jet shapes and flow conditions for gas turbine cooling.
(, 2013-09-24)To increase the core power of gas turbine engines, the combustion temperature is elevated above the metallurgical limits of the internal components. As a consequence, active cooling schemes are required to prevent the ... -
Numerical simulation of a single fracture with various parameters.
(2017-06-15)Hydraulic fracturing is the process of enhancing host rock permeability through injection of pressurized fluid in order to obtain oil and natural gas. Typically, microseismicity is used during the fracturing process to ... -
Numerical study of anomalous diffusion of light in semi-crystalline polymer structures
(American Physical Society, 2020-12)From the spread of pollutants in the atmosphere to the transmission of nutrients across cell membranes, anomalous diffusion processes are ubiquitous in natural systems. The ability to understand and control the mechanisms ... -
Nurse perceptions of breastfeeding promotion in the hospital setting.
(, 2013-09-16)As the benefits of breastfeeding are becoming more established, the importance of its promotion is gaining significance. In response, the World Health Organization created the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding as a ... -
Nursing Perceptions of Acute Physiological Decline
Aesthetic knowing in nursing has been defined by nurse scholars as intuition or a perceptive comprehension of patient experience or condition. How nurses describe their experiences with intuition in providing care for ... -
Nutrient enrichment effects on stream periphyton stoichiometry, algal and fish assemblage structure, and grazing fish-periphyton interactions.
(, 2011-12-19)Anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) create novel environmental conditions that alter biological organization and ecosystem functioning in freshwaters. My research objectives were: 1) identify levels ... -
Nutrient enrichment modulates the structure and temporal assembly of riverine benthic algal and macroinvertebrate assemblage.
(2019-05-29)Nutrient enrichment has become one of the most widespread anthropogenic forces impacting freshwater biodiversity worldwide. Stream communities are frequently limited by nutrient availability, and enrichment over natural ... -
Nutrient gradients, and physical stream characteristics control benthic periphyton enzyme production in freshwater ecosystems.
(2020-10-28)One of the largest concerns to freshwater ecosystems worldwide is nutrient enrichment. Benthic periphyton are generally nutrient limited with regards to their ability to reproduce and accrue biomass in streams prior to ... -
Nutrition self-efficacy of Veggie Van customers in Central Texas.
(2017-03-22)Obesity is a growing public health issue nationally and worldwide. Eating behavior may be a modifiable risk factor for obesity. Low nutrition self-efficacy and lack of access to healthy foods may inhibit healthy eating. ... -
