(2010)
Organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are a much-discussed and debated construct in the literature. When examining behaviors not explicitly detailed in job descriptions, ambiguity and subjective expectations about ...
Photoassociation and Rovibrational Cooling of Sodium Cesium Using Chirped Laser Pulses and Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage
(2015-04)
This dissertation presents the study of how two laser pulses can bind sodium and cesium atoms at ultracold temperature ($T=200\mu K$) into an ultracold, polar, diatomic molecule with a definite quantum state.
A single-channel ...
Freshwater zooplankton: ecology, cryptic species, and global change
(2016-08)
Modern threats to freshwater biota include anthropogenic eutrophication and invasive species, both of which may impact biodiversity. My four chapters focus on different aspects of these global changes. In Chapters 1 and ...
Epizoic Diatom Assemblages on Freshwater Turtles
(2016-05)
Although freshwater turtles and their epibiotic hosts are a good model for studying epibiotic interactions (including basking, the effects of turtle species, and geographic variation), information on diatom-turtle relationships ...
Hysteresis and dynamic effects in the relationship between capillary pressure, saturation, and air-water interfacial area in porous media.
(2006)
Air-water interfacial areas (A) were measured for multiple drainages (primary, secondary, and scanning) using a newly developed method, along hysteretic Pc-S curves representing natural drying/wetting processes. The ...
