AN ICEHOUSE DUST RECORD FROM THE UPPER PALEOZOIC (ASSELIAN-ARTINSKIAN, MOSCOVIAN) AKIYOSHI LIMESTONE (JAPAN)
(2016)
The Akiyoshi terrane in southwest Japan consists of a subduction-generated accretionary complex of shallow-marine limestone and deep-water spicular chert, underlain by ocean island-type basalt, all of which was obducted ...
Quantification of recovery factors in downspaced shale wells
(2016-12-16)
Well spacing optimization in horizontal multi-fractured wells is the center of field development. Unconventional reservoirs due to the low matrix permeability cannot produce without the help of hydraulic fracturing. Unlike ...
IMPACT OF MOISTURE CHANGES IN UNSATURATED SOIL ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS
(2016-12-16)
The mechanical and hydraulic properties of soil above the groundwater table change due to unsaturated conditions. While common, considering soil to be saturated as a simplifying assumption in the design of many important ...
La vida es sueño and the Archetypes: A Jungian Literary Analysis
(2016-12)
To date there have been no comprehensive Jungian analyses of La vida es sueño, despite the play’s extensive bibliography. A Jungian analysis provides a novel perspective on the fraught relationship between Basilio and ...
Intergenerational Socialization of Gender from Grandparents to Grandchildren: Examining Mechanisms of Exposure
(2016-05-13)
Though grandparents are known to be influential in the lives of their grandchildren, little quantitative research exists to assess the intergenerational socialization of gender ideology within the grandparent-grandchild ...
Machine Learning Predictions of Flash Floods
(2016-08-12)
This dissertation contains a literature review and three studies concerned with the development, assessment, and use of machine learning (ML) algorithms to explore automatically generated predictions of flash floods. The ...
Exploring Direct and Indirect Relationships among Teacher Self-efficacy, Motivations for Teaching, Teacher-child Interactions, and Child Outcomes in Early Head Start Classrooms
(2016-08)
More infants and toddlers are in early care and education settings at this time than ever before in history, making the study of these settings of critical importance. In the first three years of life, patterns for health, ...
Indium Arsenide/Gallium Arsenide Antimonide Quantum Dots and Their Applications in Intermediate Band Solar Cells
(2016-05-13)
This thesis briefly presents the current energy production landscape and where photovoltaics stand relative to other technologies. The history of the field is introduced as well as current research - most notably third ...
The Role of Neutrophil Proteins on the Amyloid Beta-RAGE Axis
(PLos One, 2016-09-27)
We previously showed an elevated expression of the neutrophil protein, cationic antimicrobial protein of 37kDa (CAP37), in brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), suggesting that CAP37 could be involved in AD ...
QUANTUM SECURE COMMUNICATION USING POLARIZATION HOPPING MULTI-STAGE PROTOCOLS
(2016)
This dissertation presents a study of the security and performance of a quantum communication system using multi-stage multi-photon tolerant protocols. Multi-stage protocols are a generalization of the three-stage protocol ...
