MIXED AXION-NEUTRALINO DARK MATTER IN THE SUPERSYMMETRIC DFSZ MODEL
(2016)
The lack of evidence for weak scale supersymmetry (SUSY) from LHC Run-I at √s = 8 TeV and Run-II with √s = 13 TeV results have caused a paradigm shift in expected phenomenology of SUSY models. The spectrum of sparticle ...
Two dimensional signal processing for storage channels
(2016)
Over the past decade, storage channels have undergone a steady increase in capacity.
With the prediction of achieving 10 Tb/in2 areal density for magnetic recording
channels in sight, the industry is pushing towards di ...
Charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leaders’ impact on creative performance: Person-supervisor, supervisor-goal, and person-goal fit
(2016-05-13)
Research examining the compatibility between people and their work environment has been prevalent in the work behavior literature. Despite its rich history, questions remain as to the factors influencing, and the outcomes ...
ESSAYS IN CORPORATE FINANCE AND FINANCIAL INTERMEDIATION
(2016-05-04)
This dissertation is a collection of three essays that investigate the role and importance of discretionary disclosures by managers, stock price comovement and government intervention into financial markets during a financial ...
IV-VI MATERIALS & DEVICES FOR THERMOPHOTOVOLTAIC (TPV) POWER GENERATION
(2016-12-16)
IV-VI semiconductors, with direct gap conduction and valence band extrema at the L-point in k-space, are characterized by four-fold L-valley degeneracy. Prior work [1] has shown that this degeneracy can be removed with ...
FULLY AUTONOMOUS SELF-POWERED INTELLIGENT WIRELESS SENSOR FOR REAL-TIME TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE IN SMART CITIES
(2016-12-18)
Reliable, real-time traffic surveillance is an integral and crucial function of the 21st century intelligent transportation systems (ITS) network. This technology facilitates instantaneous decision-making, improves roadway ...
Ecological Investigations of Hydrocarbonoclastic Microbial Communities Associated with the Built-Environment
(2016-09)
Evidence for the microbial metabolism of hydrocarbons is routinely identified in diverse habitats, but particularly those associated with the production, processing, storage and use of petroleum. In these environments, ...
Coupling Data Science Techniques and Numerical Weather Prediction Models for High-Impact Weather Prediction
(2016-08-12)
Meteorologists have access to more model guidance and observations than ever before, but this additional information does not necessarily lead to better forecasts. New tools are needed to reduce the cognitive load on ...
ASSEMBLING THE BOX: THE ROLE OF CONSTRAINTS IN CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING
(2016-05-13)
Although traditional conceptions of creativity argue for the benefits of a free and unconstrained creative process, recent research suggests that implementing constraints may enhance creative problem solving. Previous ...
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM
(2016-05-13)
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) produce rich, luminescent spectra across the electro- magnetic spectrum. This work focuses on topics in the ultraviolet region, where lie the broad absorption line outflows innate to Broad ...
