THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE POLICY IN EARLY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOMS IN SOUTH KOREA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF MACROACQUISITION OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC CASE STUDY
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)In 2001, the Korean government launched a new English language education policy called “the 7th national curriculum,” in an attempt to meet the growing public demand for improved communication skills in English. With this ... -
Agency and Learning English as an L2: An L2 Learner’s Language Socialization in a Preschool Classroom
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Agency is regarded as the fundamental construct in second language (L2) learning. Despite the importance, agency has not been fully investigated in children’s L2 learning. Moreover, there are predominant dichotomous views ... -
EXAMINING THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE SUCCESS OF STUDENTS WHO TRANSFER TO A FOUR-YEAR PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Researchers have attempted to understand how institutions could retain and graduate more students by proposing models to examine different relationships. A large body of research on college student persistence, retention ... -
Fundamental Study of Free Volume Characteristics on Membrane H2/CO2 separation
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)As one of the basic chemicals and green energy sources, hydrogen (H2) is mainly produced from fossil fuels via steam reforming or gasification with carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct. The CO2 must be removed for the H2 ... -
Enabling Full-Scale Soil-Structure Interaction Modeling through Analysis of a Geotechnical Laminar Box and Real-time Dynamic Hybrid Simulation
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Soil-structure interaction is broadly assumed to be beneficial, with the incorporation of a flexible soil resulting in period-lengthening of the soil-foundation-superstructure system. However, this a high-level product and ... -
An Application of Sociometer Theory to Online Social Exclusion and Reduced Intelligent Thought
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Research suggests that individuals suffer decrements in their complex cognitive processing abilities when exposed to social exclusion signals resulting from limited resources left-over after engaging in affect-regulation. ... -
PERSONALITY TRAITS, PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA, AND SELECTIVE EXPOSURE TO GUN VIOLENCE IN THE MEDIA
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)In the United States, gun violence is prevalent not only in the media but also in reality. Decades of research has focused on the effects of media violence on its audience, especially aggression.However, studies have shown ... -
EVALUATION OF SITE RESPONSE, WITH APPLICATION TO NUCLEAR STRUCTURES
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Nuclear power plants (NPPs) and other safety-related nuclear facilities offer unique design challenges not encountered with commercial infrastructure. One such challenge is the characterization of the effects of soil-structure ... -
Politically Skilled Online Audience Management: Individual Differences Mediating Online Audience Effect
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)AbstractSocial networking sites (SNSs) afford users numerous tools that are useful for selective self-presentation. However, online audiences are typically complex, and foster additional strategy when users present themselves ... -
Protein Arginine Methylation Facilitates Environmental Adaptation in the Budding Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Cells need to adapt to a constantly changing environment in order to survive and thrive. They are able to do so by continually modulating their gene expression profile to meet challenges posed by these environmental ... -
The Elite Estate at Tel Ifshar: A New Perspective on Late 15th-century B.C. Canaanite Socio-Political Organization
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Current scholarship of the LB in Canaan is generally focused on the LB II for which there is more considerable textual and archaeological evidence. While the LB, in general, is seen as a recession from the great city-states ... -
Unified Mechanics Theory - Finite Element Modeling on Mechanical Damage for Lead-Rubber Bearings
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Several studies have been developed to estimate the reduction of the characteristic strength of the Lead Rubber Bearing (LRB) respect to the increment of the cycles. This phenomenon has been observed in several experimental ... -
Analysis of f Element Compound Bonding and Properties Through Localized Orbital Descriptions By Density Functional Theory and Relativistic Multi-Configurational Wave Function Theory
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Various theoretical methods are employed in the analysisof the role of the f shell in chemical bonding and propertiesin lanthanide and actinide systems. Density functional theorycalculations are parameterized and applied ... -
An Ultra Low Power CMOS Temperature Sensor
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)In this thesis, a novel architecture of a simple, low power temperature sensor with a readout circuit for thermal management of Integrated Chips is proposed. The temperature sensor is a two transistor sensor which output ... -
High Performance Approaches for Large-Scale Non-Linear Spectral Dimensionality Reduction of Scientific Data
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)The vast majority of the current big data, coming from, for example, high performance high fidelity numerical simulations, high resolution scientific instruments (microscopes, DNA sequencers, etc.) or Internet of Things ... -
Magnetic control of valley properties in two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)Two dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are of great interests during the past decade. The broken inversion symmetry in monolayer TMDs leads to two degenerate but inequivalent valleys K and K [1, 2]. Together ...
