J/psi meson production in association with a W boson: Cross section ratio measurement with the ATLAS detector using 8 TeV pp data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
(2016-05-13)
The production mechanism of charmonium particles in hadronic collisions is not fully understood and is an active area of research. These mechanisms can be studied by examining the associated production of charmonium particles ...
Essays in Corporate Governance
(2011)
This dissertation is a collection of three essays that investigate the role and importance of corporate governance in public and private firms. Chapter 1, investigates the role of governance characteristics in determining ...
Feeling, Feeding, and Feigning Humors: Shakespeare, Jonson, and Early Modern Humoral Theory
(2022-05-13)
In this dissertation, I argue that the humors are a productive way to read early modern drama and that using them as a productive means of analysis allows for much richer cultural knowledge about medicine to come through ...
Building Teacher Competence through Modeling and Practice in an Instructional Coaching Session
(2017)
This study aims to understand how instructional coaching supports novice teachers by examining how to build teacher competence effectively. Using self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2002) as the conceptual framework, ...
DFT-Derived Location and Hydroxide Coordination of Lanthanum Ions in Zeolite Y Structures
(2021-08-05)
Fluid Catalytic Cracking is a process of great interest in oil refining. This process is governed by the stability and activity of acid sites held within zeolite frameworks. Rare earth exchanged, specifically lanthanum ...
Comments on Neural Networks
(Sociological Methods & Research, 2000-05-01)
Although neural networks do offer a few advantages over some other nonlinear methods, in certain situations these advantages are difficult to utilize. However, many neural network applications in the social sciences are ...
A Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Woodford Shale, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
(2017)
Two Woodford Shale cores from the Anadarko Basin (Core A, Core C) and one oriented Woodford Shale core from the Ardmore Basin near the Ouachita thrust zone (Core B) were sampled in order to identify diagenetic events, ...
Electromagnetic Modeling Methods for Microstrip Patch Antennas up to the Millimeter-Wave and Sub-Terahertz Bands
(2022-12-16)
In the current world of highly integrated communications, reliable and robust systems will be required to develop the 6G networks. The millimeter-wave band (30 GHz–100 GHz) and the sub-terahertz band (100 GHz–300 GHz) have ...
Theodor Kirchner's Miniatures, Op. 62: A Pedagogical Analysis
(2020-05)
This study provides a pedagogical and performance analysis of the Miniatures, Op. 62 of Theodor Kirchner. Kirchner was a 19th century composer, pianist, organist, and conductor who was incredibly prolific and yet remains ...
Coarse Grained Modeling of Multiphase Flows with Surfactants
(2022-01-28)
Coarse-grained modeling methods allow simulations at larger scales than molecular dynamics, making it feasible to simulate multifluid systems. It is, however, critical to use model parameters that represent the fluid ...
