Metal-ligand covalency in uranium, thorium, and cerium coordination chemistry: elucidating the nature of chemical bonding in f-element complexes using phosphorus ligands
(2022-05-13)
Herein the syntheses and characterization of model actinide and lanthanide complexes bearing phosphorus-based ligands are reported. High-symmetry molecular models featuring phosphorus-based ligands are very advantageous ...
Feeling, Feeding, and Feigning Humors: Shakespeare, Jonson, and Early Modern Humoral Theory
(2022-05-13)
In this dissertation, I argue that the humors are a productive way to read early modern drama and that using them as a productive means of analysis allows for much richer cultural knowledge about medicine to come through ...
Electromagnetic Modeling Methods for Microstrip Patch Antennas up to the Millimeter-Wave and Sub-Terahertz Bands
(2022-12-16)
In the current world of highly integrated communications, reliable and robust systems will be required to develop the 6G networks. The millimeter-wave band (30 GHz–100 GHz) and the sub-terahertz band (100 GHz–300 GHz) have ...
Marine fish diversification along the water column gradient: a tale of many threads
(2022-08-04)
Decades of investigation about the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for the astonishing diversity of fishes have suggested habitat transitions along the water column as a prominent ecological divergence axis affecting ...
Multiscale Modeling of Hybrid Structural Composites Enhanced by Aligned Zinc Oxide Nanowires
(2022-05)
Interfacial properties between fibers and matrix can significantly impact the overall performance of the composite structures. One pioneering approach to enhancing the interfacial properties is growing nanostructures on ...
Constructors' Decision-Support Framework for NZEB Projects
(2022-05-13)
Efficient construction project management is crucial to project success. As the construction industry changes, constructors find themselves confronted by new issues and must undertake roles that have not traditionally been ...
Modeling Relationships Between Brain/Muscle Activity and Locomotive Behavior
(2022-12)
The dynamics of locomotion involve a fine-tuned, continuous feedback loop between processes in the brain, functioning of the muscles, and interactions with the environment. Neurological or motor disability can often disrupt ...
Risk-based evaluation and management of cyber-physical-social systems during pandemic crisis
(2022-08)
This research focuses on risk-based evaluation and management of cyber-physical-social systems during a pandemic crisis. The ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic has caused serious challenges for the world’s ...
Management intensification and temporal dynamics shape microbial communities in a Southern Plains agroecosystem
(2022-03-28)
Land use intensification has resulted in the conversion of complex natural systems into simpler, managed environments which has a considerable impact on physical and chemical soil properties as well as above and belowground ...
Effects of restrictions and liquid properties on liquid loading in natural gas wells
(2022-12-08)
Liquid loading is one of the main challenges in the later life of a natural gas well. Several methods have been used to unload the gas wells and remedy liquid loading, with various efficiencies. The literature revealed a ...
