(2012)
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine terror management theory in conjunction with immigration and economy issue advertisements. Specifically, this study examines how voters' intent to vote for a conservative 2012 ...
Hot Electrons and Radial Transport in Saturn’s Inner Magnetosphere: Modeling the Effects on Ion Chemistry
(2012)
The E-ring of Saturn, located just beyond the main rings at four Saturn radii, was known to be made mostly of water and its by-products before the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2005. Since then, Cassini has ...
