Fabrication and Characterization of Porous CNF/PDMS Nanocomposite for Sensing Application
(2018-08-02)Electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer-based materials are growing as one of the critical needs for the emerging field of wearable electronics due to its high elastic limits and good biocompatibility. ... -
Fabrication of improved composite laminates by using a sliding magnetic tool during wet layup/vacuum bagging
(2018-05-11)A magnetic lift that utilizes magnetic polarization to create “on” and “off” conditions is used to easily and safely apply consolidation pressure on E-glass/epoxy laminates fabricated using the wet layup/vacuum bagging ... -
Facebook as a Tool in Mvskoke Language Learning and Use
(2017-05-12)This paper explores and discusses the various factors in which Indigenous language learners obtain and interact with their heritage language. Specifically, the role of Facebook in language learning and use is analyzed. The ... -
Factors Affecting Master's Student Completion Rates
(2020-12)Engineering master’s education is an understudied area in research. This lack of research has important ramifications to institutions, students, and society at large. Lower completion rates mean fewer qualified engineers ... -
Factors influencing rates and products in the transformation of carbon tetrachloride by zerovalent iron metal
(2003)Batch experiments were conducted to study the influence of iron purity and solution chemistry, i.e., pH and common groundwater species such as HS-, HCO3- and Mn(II), on the anaerobic degradation of carbon tetrachloride ... -
Factors Relevant to Parallelism Inspection
(2017-05)Inspection of parallelism between two surfaces (planes) requires the establishment of a datum feature (surface), and determination of the envelope of points containing the inspected feature parallel to that datum feature. ... -
FAILURE IN IRAQ? AN EXAMINATION OF AMERICAN SUCCESS REBUILDING A POST-SADDAM IRAQ
(2018-05-11)This thesis project examines the United States’ involvement during the second war in Iraq from 2003-2011. The question that this thesis aims to study is why the Iraq War unfolded the way it did, and to disprove the notion ... -
Fairness-Based Transportation Resilience for Communities under Tsunami Hazard
(2021-12)Abstract: Natural disasters such as tsunamis have catastrophic impacts on the functionality and resilience of transportation networks in impacted areas, and they can damage coastal regions hundreds of kilometers away from ... -
False Idols: The Perils of 'Democratizing' Financial Markets
(2021-05-14)US stock markets have created the greatest wealth in human history. This wealth, however, has not been shared or distributed equally. I seek to understand the way in which income disparities work to undermine mechanisms ... -
Families and Facilities: How the Parent-Child Relationship Changes Upon Institutionalization
(2017)This thesis endeavors to trace how the relationships and of the mainstream American family unit, specifically between adult children and their parents, are altered by the process of age-related institutionalization in a ... -
Family Involvement in the Early Childhood Classroom: A Mixed Methods Study Exploring Strategies and Applications
(2019-05)Family involvement is an important component of child development and leads to various positive outcomes. There are many programs that exist to provide parents with resources and support but there is a gap in the literature ... -
Fantasy Proneness and Responsiveness in Leaders: The Impact of Charismatic and Pragmatic Leaders
(2017-12-11)Charismatic, ideological, and pragmatic leadership have been identified as the three key styles of leadership. Leaders expressing each style are held to appeal to followers in different ways and through different mechanisms. ... -
