Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(2017-05)A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ... -
Adsorption of Biomass Torrefaction Vapors on Activated Carbon
(2017-12)Energy is a growing need for the modern economy; however, global reliance on nonrenewable resources is problematic. The United States transportation infrastructure in particular was built around the combustion of petroleum ... -
Adsorptive Trapping of Bio-oil Compounds onto Activated Carbon
(2016-08)Industrialization and its long-term effects on the environment are receiving increased scrutiny from both political and environmental pundits questioning environmental sustainability in a time of globalization. Traditional ... -
Advertising the Impossible Earth: The Visual Culture of Post-Apollo Space Colony Concept Art
(2022-08)In post-Apollo America, speculative visions of life in space were shaped by the unabashedly optimistic space colonization proposals of physicist Gerard Kitchen O’Neill. O’Neill presented these self-contained artificial ... -
An Aeroecological Assessment of Aircraft Bird Strike Predictability Using Weather Radar and Citizen Science
(2021-05-14)World-wide air traffic has increased at an average rate of 1.8% per year since the 1980s. With this increase in aviation, there has been a marked intensification of aircraft-wildlife collisions netting an estimate of nearly ... -
Affect, Emotion Regulation, and Leader Effectiveness: Examining the Role of Trait Affect and Emotion Regulation on Leader Problem Solving Performance
(2016-08)Emotion-related constructs, such as affect and emotion regulation, have been identified as being critical to effective leadership. Prior research in both of these areas has tended to examine the role of these constructs ... -
Affective Representation and Infrastructure in Allan Sekula's Fish Story, 1989-2017
(2023-05-12)In 1989, contemporary American artist Allan Sekula (1951–2013) embarked on a seafaring project to document transnational seaports which would later be published as the iconic Fish Story (1989–1995). His personal notebooks ... -
African Easterly Wave Tracks as Simulated by CMIP5 Models
(2017-08)African Easterly Waves (AEWs) impact Sahel rainfall and serve as trigger disturbances for tropical cyclones (TCs) in the North Atlantic Ocean. So far, there has been very little investigation into future changes in intensity ... -
Aftershock decay in space and time of induced seismicity in Oklahoma
(2019-05-10)The current paradigm for estimating long-term seismic hazard in a region includes removing dependent earthquakes that occur after a mainshock, otherwise known as aftershocks, from an earthquake catalog to identify the ... -
Agency, Gender, and Constraint: Examining Shame in The Awakening
(2019-05)This thesis focuses on The Awakening by Kate Chopin and examines how shame constrains the performance of gender through the lens of Butler’s theory of gender performativity. Judith Butler claims that gender is the “practice ... -
AGILE: ARBITRARY GRID LOGISTIC REGRESSION USING INTEL SOFTWARE GUARD EXTENSIONS
(2016)Biomedical data are often collected and stored at different sites. How to take the most advantage of the data to provide better health care for patients and to contribute to academic research becomes more and more important ... -
Aging in Place with Smart Home Technology
(2019-12-13)This paper evaluates technologies currently available for aging in place and considerations that might limit homeowners from considering or using technology that would allow a homeowner to age in place or prolong the length ... -
AI BASED FAULT DIAGNOSIS IN EMERGING CELLULAR NETWORKS
(2019-08)Mobile cellular network operators spend nearly a quarter of their revenue on network management and maintenance. A significant portion of that budget, is spent on resolving faults diagnosed in the system that degrade or ... -
Air Force Museums and their Civilian Counterparts: Improving Both Sides of the Challenge Coin
(2018-05-11)The U.S. Air Force is a continuing entity in the fight for freedom across the world. It does its job in the best way it knows how, and in the process claims to celebrate heritage. The celebration of heritage does occur in ... -

(2016-05-13)Aviation Industry is growing in an unprecedented pace in the twenty first century. Today, over 1000 commercial airlines operate more than 15,000 aircrafts, carrying 3.1billion people and 51.7m tons of freight every year. ... -
All-Weather Sense and Avoid (SAA) Radar Clutter Modeling and Control
(2020-12-18)The background of this thesis is related to the enhancement and optimization of the Pulsed-Doppler Radar sensor for the need of Detect and Avoid (DAA), or Sense and Avoid (SAA), for both weather and air-traffic (collision ... -
ALTERNATIVE SURFACTANT FORMULATION FOR NON-AQUEOUS PHASE LIQUID (NAPL) REMOVAL
(2016-05)Due to the inefficiency of the pump and treat method in removing hydrocarbon contamination from ground water, a new method called surfactant Enhanced Aquifer remediation (SEAR) has been developed. SEAR is just a chemical ... -
