Consolidations in Higher Education: How Collaborative Structures and Processes Impact the Outcomes of Organizational Change
(2018-08)
Over the past several decades, institutions of higher education have found themselves in a difficult environment. States have reduced funding, total enrollment has either fallen or flattened across several years, and ...
A Novel Method for the Characterization of Anisotropic Materials
(2018-12-14)
This thesis details the successful conceptualization, development, and proof of concept testing of a novel system for the characterization of a material's electromagnetic properties. In particular, the proposed system was ...
DEVELOPMENT OF BENCHTOP CAPILLARY-BASED ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATION AND DETECTION
(2018-05-01)
Point-of-Care (POC) analysis in recent years has driven the need for the miniaturization of chemistry instruments in the analytical field. One such instrument class involves chromatographic systems for the separation and ...

(2018-08-02)
This research aims to take a deeper look into Islamophobia, which is discussed as indiscriminate negative attitudes or behaviors directed at Muslims and Islam in the United States, France, and Canada. This research takes ...
UTILIZING PROCESS-BASED CROP MODELLING TO ASSESS CLIMATE-INDUCED CROP YIELDS AND ADAPTATION OPTIONS IN THE NIGER RIVER BASIN OF WEST AFRICA
(2018)
This dissertation used the FAO AquaCrop model to evaluate the impact of climate change on major cereal yields and adaptation options in three agro-ecological zones of the Niger River Basin. The crops analysed include maize, ...
A fuzzy logic algorithm for classifying bird and insect radar echoes at S-band
(2018-08-02)
A fuzzy logic algorithm for the separation of bird echoes from insect echoes using Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and considering range effects has been developed. The radar used in this study is the S-band (10 cm wavelength) ...
Shear Performance of Non-Traditional Concrete
(2018-08-02)
Concrete is the second most consumed material in the world, second only to water. Concrete has been around in different forms for centuries, and science and technology continually push the previously believed limits. Two ...
Collagen Fingerprinting and the Earliest Marine Mammal Hunting in North America
(2018-07-03)
The submersion of Late Pleistocene shorelines and poor organic preservation at many early archaeological sites obscure the earliest effects of humans on coastal resources in the Americas. We used collagen fingerprinting ...

CHARACTERIZING THE BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE CAST WITH TYPE K SHRINKAGE COMPENSATING CEMENT WHEN PLACED UNDER MECHANICAL RESTRAINT
(2018-05-12)
The purpose of this research was to determine whether shrinkage-compensating concrete (SCC) made with Type K cement is capable of offsetting the effects of early age drying shrinkage, specifically when the concrete is acted ...
