Further developments in 2D optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry based on Al2O3 and MgB4O7
(2020-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this work is to explore potential improvements in 2D OSL dosimetry. These include the introduction of Tikhonov regularization in the pixel bleeding algorithm, which was investigated ...
Modeling web handling systems and a method for determining feedback controller gains
(2020-07)
Modeling the longitudinal dynamics and control of web handling systems requires accurate models of the primitive elements involved, and an understanding of the processes used for speed and tension control. Primitive elements ...
Hidden in plain sight: Men's lived experiences with sexual violence as college students
(2020-05)
Men's experiences with sexual violence are an understudied subject within sociological literature. Despite some past research endeavors that have focused on men, little is known regarding the ways that men college students ...
Development of tools to accelerate and advance modeling disease progression
(2020-12)
Disease pathology emerges from complex interactions at multiple scales including the cellular level, tissue level, and organ level. Multiscale modeling seeks to capture emergent phenomena by coupling models of differing ...
Academic library publishing of Open Educational Resources
(2020-12)
Institutions and organizations perceiving the use and creation of Open Educational Resources (OER) as consistent with their values, experiences, and needs are developing partnerships in support of the creation and publication ...
Two essays on stock repurchases
(2020-05)
My dissertation comprises two chapters. The first chapter examines the information content of actual share repurchase within the context of informed options trading, while the second chapter examines the impact of EPS-motivated ...
Genetic and quantitative trait loci mapping in African bermudagrass and characterization of winter survivability and drought response in turf-type bermudagrass
(2020-12)
African bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is frequently used to cross with common bermudagrass (C. dactylon Pers.) in the creation of F1 hybrid cultivars that most widely used in the worldwide turf industry. ...
Methodology for planning reconstruction activities after a disaster considering interdependencies and priorities
(2020-05)
A disaster relief chain can be divided into phases such as pre-disaster, disaster response, and post-disaster. This paper focus on the post-disaster phase, specifically in the recovery activity. After a disaster occurs, ...
Automatic design of deep neural network architectures with evolutionary computation
(2020-05)
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are algorithms with widespread use in the extraction of knowledge from raw data. DNNs are used to solve problems in the fields of computer vision, natural language understanding, signal processing, ...
Geostatistical analysis of temperature structure in the atmospheric boundary layer
(2020-05)
The lowest portion of the atmosphere, known as the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is of considerable importance to weather development at the local scale, but it is among the most difficult portions of the atmosphere ...
