The franchise decision and financial performance: an examination of restaurant firms

Hsu, Li-Tzang (Jane) (Kansas State University, 2007)

In the last few decades, franchising has become a part of everyday life in the United States. Many firms in a variety of industries have adopted franchising as a method of doing business. Despite the importance of franchising, ...
“Freedom from themselves” gendered mechanisms of control, power, and resistance in prison dog training programs

Button, Andrea (Kansas State University, 2007)

During the past twenty-five years, the number of prison programs in which inmates train dogs has increased rapidly. A lack of systematic studies to address the effects of these programs on staff and inmates has led to ...
Freezing tolerance in zoysiagrass

Zhang, Qi (Kansas State University, 2007)

'Meyer' zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) has been the predominant cultivar used in the transition zone since its release in 1952, primarily because of its excellent freezing tolerance. Six hundred and nineteen ...
Frequency response based permittivity sensors for measuring air contaminants

Ware, Brenton R. (Kansas State University, 2012)

Permittivity, displayed when a dielectric material is exposed to an electric field, is a useful property for measuring impurities in a dielectric medium. These impurities often have a dipole moment different from the pure ...
From boots to books: applying Schlossberg’s transition model to the transition of today’s American veterans to higher education

Ryan, Shawn (Kansas State University, 2010)

Attending college or university immediately after serving on active duty in the U.S. military can be a challenging transition because the daily roles and responsibilities of active duty service members greatly differ ...
From Capitol Hill and West Point: an examination of Ulysses S. Grant’s subordinate generals

Dudley, Eric (Kansas State University, 2012)

This thesis examines the relationships of Ulysses S. Grant and four of his subordinate generals. Ultimately, it is a command study of General Grant that analyzes how he managed his subordinates. The four individuals that ...
From crisis to war: prophetic dualism in President George W. Bush's September 20, 2001 address

Potucek, Rachel Eryn (Kansas State University, 2012)

President George W. Bush's September 20, 2001 televised address to a Joint Session of Congress stands in history as his Administration's first deliberate official rhetorical response to the events of 9/11 and the first ...
From few-cycle femtosecond pulse to single attosecond pulse-controlling and tracking electron dynamics with attosecond precision

Wang, He (Kansas State University, 2010)

The few-cycle femtosecond laser pulse has proved itself to be a powerful tool for controlling the electron dynamics inside atoms and molecules. By applying such few-cycle pulses as a driving field, single isolated attosecond ...
From rice fields to red light districts: an economic examination of factors motivating employment in Thailand’s sex industry

Wittman, Cori (Kansas State University, 2011)

This research identifies factors that distinguish rural women who have migrated to Bangkok for the purpose of enhancing their economic wellbeing by engaging in the sex industry and those who have stayed in their rural ...
From small molecules to nano-scale architectures - a supramolecular approach

Scott, Benjamin M. T. (Kansas State University, 2008)

We have shown that supramolecular synthons can be used to construct discrete two or three component co-crystals and 1-D inorganic-organic chains and dramatically influence the arrangement of nanoparticle assemblies. A ...
From supramolecular selectivity to nanocapsules

Chopade, Prashant D. (Kansas State University, 2012)

A family of three 2-aminopyrazine derivatives were prepared and co-crystallized with thirty carboxylic acids. Our theoretical charge calculations and experimental results from 90 reactions demonstrated that decreasing the ...
The Fruits of Landscape: the power of landscape in presenting sustainable food production

Mann, William (Kansas State University, 2013)

Our current agricultural system in the U.S. involves procedures that appear to maintain high levels of productivity. However, the long-term outlook regarding this system indicates an overall degradation of the ecological ...
Fugitive dust emissions from off-road vehicle maneuvers on military training lands

Meeks, Jeremy C. (Kansas State University, 2013)

Military installations in the United States may be large sources of fugitive dust emissions. Off-road vehicle training can contribute to air quality degradation resulting from increased wind erosion events as a result of ...
The function and regulation of myosin-interacting guanine nucleotide exchange factor (MYOGEF) and centrosome/spindle pole associated protein (CSPP) during mitotic progression and cytokinesis

Asiedu, Michael Kwabena (Kansas State University, 2007)

This dissertation describes the role of myosin-interacting guanine nucleotide exchange factor (MyoGEF) and centrosome/spindle pole associated protein (CSPP) in mitotic progression and cytokinesis. We have identified three ...
Functional characterization of a Baculovirus fibroblast growth factor

Detvisitsakun, Chanitchote (Kansas State University, 2006)

Baculoviridae is the only known virus family that encodes genes with homology to vertebrate and invertebrate fibroblast growth factors (fgfs), key regulators of developmental processes affecting cell growth, differentiation, ...
Functional measurement of immunization decision making

Pingenot, Alleene M. (Kansas State University, 2006)

Four variables from the HBM of healthcare behavior were used to examine immunization decision making by the lay public. Although there was evidence to support the HBM in general, results of these studies suggest that up ...
Functional role of connexin 46 in lens epithelial cell differentiation and growth

Madgwick, Daniel (Kansas State University, 2008)

The vertebrate lens relies on gap junction-mediated intercellular communication to maintain cellular homeostasis and lenticular transparency. Differentiation of cuboidal lens epithelial cells into cortical fiber cells ...
Functionality of corn and sorghum proteins in visco-elastic dough systems

Smith, Brennan M. (Kansas State University, 2012)

Zein, the storage protein of corn, has been shown to form a wheat-like dough; however the exact mechanism is unknown since zein lacks the large polymeric proteins found in wheat. To understand how zein forms a dough, ...

Zein, the storage protein of corn, has been shown to form a wheat-like dough; however the exact mechanism is unknown since zein lacks the large polymeric proteins found in wheat. To understand how zein forms a dough, ...
Functionalized polyoxometalates for advanced applications

Karcher, Jeffery D. (Kansas State University, 2007)

Polyoxometalates have attracted much attention over the last few decades and have been studied in a wide variety of fields such as catalysis, medicine, imaging, photochromism, and magnetic materials. While many of these ...
