Surface effects and gold-nanostructure surface coating of whispering-gallery microresonators
(2010-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Polyolefin blend miscibility: Quantitative investigations of dynamic heterogeneity
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Using advanced solid-state NMR to study the microscopic interactions of amorphous polymer blends and the influences of each component to the dynamic heterogeneity of those miscible blends.
Hydroxy monolith precursor for the preparation of organic polymer monolithic columns by post-polymerization modification with various surface retentive ligands for capillary electrochromatography and high performance liquid chromatography
(2016-05)
The objective of this dissertation involved furthering the development of the concept of post-polymerization modification by introducing a novel poly(HEMA-co-PETA) precursor monolithic column to which various types of ...
Case study of curriculum mapping implementation in one high school: Implications for practice and research
(2011-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
King of the mat: Former elite wrestlers and perceptions of perfectionism and identity
(2017-05)
Research on perfectionism and identity is vast and has a significant focus on athletic and academic performance along with links to positive and negative mental health. The majority of research is quantitative and data is ...
Enhanced online course design and its effect on the perceived level of community of inquiry
(2016-12)
Academic institutions increasingly have adopted the online platform due to its low delivery cost and ease of scalability to large numbers of students. The pressure to increase enrollment numbers without enhancements to ...
External agency: Redefinition of ex ante value in agency relationships
(2015-05)
In this dissertation, in response to mixed empirical findings and theoretical criticism of Agency Theory, I raise a broader question: are there agency behaviors that are not considered within traditional renderings of ...
Elucidation and quantification of the decomposition products of sodium dithionite and the detection of peroxide vapors with thin films
(2014-07)
Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is an oxidizable sulfur oxyanion often employed as a reducing agent in environmental and synthetic chemistry. When exposed to the atmosphere, dithionite degrades through a series of decomposition ...
Assessment of multiple measures of honey bee (Apis mellifera ligustica) and horse (Equus ferus caballus) responding on fixed interval schedules: An individual versus aggregate analysis
(2015-05)
We compared different measures of temporal control of two species' responding when reinforced on fixed interval schedules of reinforcement. The measures that were evaluated are: cumulative response curves, response bin ...
