Evaluating Whether Prepotent Awareness Predicts Effects of Cultural Disfluency
(2019-12)
Two studies assessed whether a single- or dual-prime design could be used to elicit Cultural Disfluency (Aim 1), and whether Prepotent Awareness would predict mean differences computed between Control and Experimental ...
GEOMETRIC QUANTIZATION OF A SEMI-GLOBAL MODEL OF A FOCUS-FOCUS SINGULARITY
(2019-08-01)
Quantization of a classical mechanical system is an old problem in physics.
In classical mechanics, the evolution of the system is given by a Hamiltonian vector field
on a symplectic manifold (``phase space''). ...
THE WORLD BELOW: HOW RESOURCES AND HABITAT INFLUENCE INSECT COMMUNITIES ACROSS SPACE AND THROUGH TIME
(2019-05-10)
Insects are one of the most abundant, diverse, and ecologically important clades of organisms. They represent up to 5-10 million species, accounting for approximately 46% of the animal biomass on Earth. Yet, despite the ...
Representations of the Automorphism Group of a Right-Angled Coxeter Group
(2019-05-10)
In 2009 Grunewald and Lubotzky published a paper in which they defined a family of linear representations of the automorphism group of a free group. In this dissertation, we will use their ideas to construct a family of ...
Compressing and Performing Algorithms on Massively Large Networks
(2019-12-13)
Networks are represented as a set of nodes (vertices) and the arcs (links) connecting them. Such networks can model various real-world structures such as social networks (e.g., Facebook), information networks (e.g., citation ...
MAASS SPACE FOR LIFTING TO GL(2,B) OVER A DIVISION QUATERNION ALGEBRA
(2019-08-01)
Muto, Narita and Pitale construct counterexamples to the Generalized Ramanujan Conjecture for GL(2,B) over the division quaternion algebra B with discriminant two via a lift from SL(2). In this dissertation, I characterize ...
EXPERIMENTAL AND MODELING STUDIES ON AXIAL OSCILLATION-SUPPORTED DRILLSTRINGS
(2019-05-10)
Extending the reach of high-angle and extended-reach wells through slide drilling operations are hindered by high downhole friction (static and dynamic), which emanates to inefficiencies, such as poor weight transfer from ...
Laboratory Characterization of Reservoir Stimulation and Heat Extraction with Application to EGS
(2019-12)
Enhanced or engineered geothermal systems (EGS) could enable extraction of significant geothermal energy from hot relatively dry rock reservoirs. However, issues related to reservoir creation in different type of rocks and ...
Long Term Evolution – License Assisted Access (LTE-LAA): Modeling and Coexistence Performance Analysis
(2019)
Wireless communication built upon radio spectrum plays an instrumental role in today's modern world. With the explosive growth of mobile data traffic, mobile cellular networks need more spectrum to boost their system ...
ALTERATIONS OF C-MIRNA EXPRESSION FROM WHOLE-BODY VIBRATION AND RESISTANCE EXERCISE IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
(2019-08-01)
INTRODUCTION: Previous research has examined the effects of exercise on circulating miRNA (c-miRNA) expression. C-miRNAs have been associated with exercise-induced adaptations for skeletal muscle hypertrophy and aerobic ...
