Biophysical mechanisms for the generation of electrosensory and communication signal in the weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens
(2018-05-03)
The weakly electric fish Eigenmannia virescens generates electric organ discharges (EODs) to navigate and communicate. The EODs are brief monophasic voltage pulses with brief inter-pulse intervals, resulting in a sinusoidal ...
Multi-scale effects of habitat alteration on stream fishes: from genotypes to communities
(2011)
Understanding how evolutionary and ecological processes interact with altered habitats at these various scales will be a major challenge to conservation biologists in the coming decades, and will be crucial for predicting ...
Multiple Real-Constant Multiplication for Computationally Efficient Implementation of Digital Transforms
(2012)
The need to multiply signals by vectors (or matrices) of constants is fundamental and frequently arises in many areas of electrical and computer engineering.
A Study of Selected Solo Piano Works by Three Korean Women Composers from 2008 to 2012
(2017-05)
Korean women composers’ musical achievements have increased markedly since the 1980s. They have won many significant international competitions as their music is being commissioned and performed by prominent performance ...
THROUGH THE LENS OF SOCIAL JUSTICE THEORY: A CASE STUDY OF TEACHERS' RESPONSES TO STUDENTS' CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS
(2011)
The aims of social justice in education are defined and procedurally mandated in tenets of special education law. The history of special education services is replete with examples of underrepresentation and overrepresentation ...
Controllability of Linear and Nonlinear Control Systems related through Simulation Relations
(2015-12)
For nonlinear input-disturbance systems that are connected by a simulation relation, we examine to what extent they share certain controllability properties. Specifically our main objective is to determine the conditions ...
Echoes and Mirrors: Respectful Teacher Leadership and Leadership Acceptance Among Adolescent Students
(2013)
Teacher leadership has gained some recognition in the context of school improvement and usually pertains to more or less administrative activities. Little inquiry concentrates on the teacher as a leadership figure in the ...
Development and Preclinical Evaluation of Enzyme Prodrug Therapies Targeted to the Tumor Vasculature
(2014)
Breast cancer is a global health concern of high prevalence that lacks safe and effective therapies for advanced cases. A targeted enzyme prodrug therapy aims to address this issue using an enzyme localized to the tumor ...
Mid-wavelength and long-wavelength interband cascade infrared photodetectors
(2017-10-30)
Interband cascade (IC) devices are a family of infrared optoelectronic devices that includes interband cascade lasers (ICLs), interband cascade infrared photodetectors (ICIPs) and interband cascade infrared thermophotovoltaics ...
PABLITA VELARDE, HELEN HARDIN, AND MARGARETE BAGSHAW: THREE GENERATIONS OF ASSERTION, EXPRESSION, AND INNOVATION
(2018-05-11)
This dissertation examines the work of three generations of Santa Clara women, Pablita Velarde (1918-2006), Helen Hardin (1943-1984) and Margarete Bagshaw (1964-2015). In order to contextualize their work, I discuss the ...
