Quantitative Nano-Surface Chemistry for Diabetes Serum Biomarker Assays
(2019-07)Glucose monitoring devices (e.g., glucometer) are widely established as a successful diabetes management and point-of-care testing systems. However, non-glucose markers such as hormones, autoantibodies, proteins, and other ... -
Quantitative phytolith analysis: The key to understanding buried soils and to reconstructing paleoenvironments
(2010-05)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this study is to quantitatively recover and analyze the phytoliths from modern and prehistoric prairie soils, and to use the resulting phytolith signatures to develop a better ... -
Quantitative structure-property relationship generalized activity coefficient models
(2014-05)Phase behavior properties of chemical species and their mixtures are essential to design chemical processes involving multiple phases. Thermodynamic models are used in phase equilibria calculations to determine properties, ... -
Quantitative structure-property relationship modeling & computer-aided molecular design: Improvements & applications
(2012-05)Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this work was to develop an integrated capability to design molecules with desired properties. An automated robust genetic algorithm (GA) module has been developed to facilitate ... -
Quantum chaos using delta kicked systems
(2008-12)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to experimentally study quantum dynamics of systems whose classical dynamics are chaotic. Quantum delta-kicked systems such as kicked rotor and kicked accelerator ... -
Quantum chaos with a Bose-Einstein condensate
(2007-07)Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to experimentally study a quantum delta-kicked accelerator utilizing a Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) of Rb87 atoms. An all optical method was chosen to create a ... -
Quantum imaging and sensing with entangled photons
(2008-07)This dissertation contains new theoretical work on how to utilize the entangled photons produced in a parametric down conversion to improve resolution and sensitivity in quantum interferometry, magnetometry and lithography. ... -
Quantum interference and decoherence effects in novel systems
(2009-12)In this thesis we studied quantum interference and decoherence effects in systems like atoms, ions, quantum dots and photonic waveguides. These systems are presently widely studied in different areas of quantum optics and ... -
Quantum model of human subjectivity for moral psychology: Using Q methodology to define the features of judgments in Hilbert space
(2018-05)A major issue in the field of moral psychology is identifying aspects of human morality that can be measured. Kantor's (1959) formulation of a psychological event provides a unique option for the field. A psychological ... -
Quantum walks of a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate and their applications
(2022-12)A quantum walk in momentum space with a rubidium spinor Bose-Einstein condensate was recently realized in our research group by applying a periodic kicking potential as a walk operator and a resonant microwave pulse as a ... -
Queer Mimicry: Re-Presenting the Primitive in the Works of Zitkala Sa, Mourning Dove, John Joseph Mathews, and Woody Crumbo
(2016-05-01)I argue that addressing early 20th century representation of Native performance reveals potential colonial resistance. I look at Mourning Dove Cogewea, Woody Crumbo's Eagle Dancer Paintings, John Joseph Mathews Sundown, ... -
Queer strength in the South: A qualitative analysis of LGBT/NB client-reported strengths in a community setting
(2020-07)Scholars in the field of counseling psychology have called for the implementation of positive psychology, specifically through emphasis on client strengths and resources (Seligman, 2002). Researchers and clinicians suggest ... -
Queering marriage: An investigation of same-gender civil unions in contemporary American society
(2008-07)Scope and Method of Study: Lesbian and gay male couples have been more actively seeking legal marriage over the past two decades. This study examines the lived experiences of lesbian and gay men participating in a Vermont ... -
