Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education: A Reality or a Façade?
(2020-12-18)In response to the growing demographics in the United States, diversity, equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) offices and efforts have become a conventional part of higher education institutions in the United States. Despite ... -
Do We Really Need Deep Learning?: A Study on Play Identification using SEM Images
(2021-05-14)Deep learning has become an integral part of image classification and segmentation, especially with the use of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and their variants. Although computationally expensive and time-consuming, ... -
Do Words Really Mean Things? Habitual Voters and the Framing Effects of Ballot Language
(2017-05)The alleged dangers of direct democracy have been debated since the founding of the United States, and this discussion carries on into the current time whenever the subject of referendum elections is raised. While much ... -
Does Acute Melatonin Supplementation Affect Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Healthy Young Adults?
(2024-05-10)Melatonin receptors have been found in the cerebrovasculature in animal models, and melatonin has been shown to improve systemic vascular control. While there is a correlation between low melatonin production and cardiovascular ... -
Does economic redistribution affect voting for populist radical right parties in Europe?
(2023)This thesis adds to our understanding of what contributes to populist radical right voting by looking at the role of redistribution in relation to populist radical right voting. Additionally, the empirical testing in this ... -
Does EDHF-blockade by fluconazole alter cerebral autoregulation and hemodynamics during lower-body negative pressure?
(2023-05-12)Animal models suggest that cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP450), an enzyme within the EDHF pathway, plays a critical role in the control of cerebral hemodynamics and autoregulation. However, this observation has not been directly ... -
Domesticity, Utopia, and Biopolitics: A Critical Study of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Moving the Mountain
(2018-05-11)With the rise of first-wave feminism in United States, often characterized by the movement to secure women the right to vote and enact a voice in the public sphere, the early twentieth century indicated a clear ideological ... -
Doppler Radar Analyses of Tornadic Supercells on 19 May 2013
(2016-05-13)On 19 May 2013, two supercells moved through central Oklahoma and produced seven tornadoes, including one of EF-3 and one of EF-4 intensity. High temporal and spatial resolution observations were collected in both strong ... -
Downhole dynagraph measurement
(1986)While various mathematical models exist for predicting downhole forces and motion in sucker rod type pumping systems, none have been thoroughly verified with actual measurements. In fact, downhole force measurements were ... -
