The abolition of slavery during the American Civil War did not end the antislavery ambitions of many liberal Christian reformers. As four million African American slaves transitioned from bondage to freedom, Unitarian and other Christian...
Integrated kinetic energy (IKE) is a recently developed metric that approximates the destructive potential of a tropical cyclone by assessing the size and strength of its wind field. Despite the potential usefulness of the IKE metric, ...
In this paper, I attempt to identify the factors that lead some post-foster youth to successfully enter college. I decided to conduct this research in an effort to understand how to create educational equality for post-foster youth, who...
Aquaponics is an integrated biological system that essentially combines a soil-less garden with an aquarium. It is important because it uses less water than commercial farming, is ecofriendly, and provides a local source of food for its...
In the last few decades, the growth of administration costs on higher education campuses surpassed the growth of instructional costs. The escalating costs of higher education, which are now outpacing general price levels, have raised...
Homelessness is a complex issue that impacts families in many ways. One pathway of addressing homelessness among families has been the use of transitional housing programs. Previous research demonstrates the importance of social support...
Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) play a vital role in the discrimination of different cosmological models. These events have been shown to be standardizable based on properties of their light curves during the early-time photospheric phase....
This research identifies and discusses the changes occurring in family organizational patterns in rural areas around the megacity of Chennai, India, as a result of expanded educational opportunity. Chennai is located in the state of...
Past research suggests that reading comprehension performance relies not solely on cognitive skills such as decoding, vocabulary, and inference skills, but also on attention and behavior. Specifically, the literature has pointed to...
Background: Nighttime eating, particularly before bed, has received considerable media attention in recent years. The common thought was to avoid caloric intake post-dinner and pre-sleep due to worries of weight gain and a negative...
Spectator sports are one of the largest industries in the United States (Byon, Zhang & Baker, 2013). In this regard, sports marketers and organizations have focused on maintaining or attracting spectators utilizing various promotion...
This dissertation focuses on corporate contributions to state-level politicians. Scholars have devoted significant attention to the antecedents of corporate political activity, often invoking resource dependence logic to explain...
In recent years, the need to reduce the power and energy requirements of computer microprocessors has increased dramatically. In the past, microprocessor architects succeeded in improving the performance of their designs by increasing...
Objective: Young adults with type 1diabetes face multiple challenges managing their disease and navigating the life transitions of emerging adulthood. This places them at increased risk for poor health and psychological outcomes. The...
The objective of Building Worlds; Creating an Affordable and Efficient Virtual Reality is to explore the phenomena of Virtual Reality (VR) through the marketing of its developing technologies, its future opportunities, and its potential...
Recent studies have shown that the incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNT) in to carbon fiber composite parts significantly increase mechanical as well as thermal properties. Polymer nanocomposites are polymer matrix composites that...
This thesis examines the role of the German Confederation in the military affairs of pre-1848 Germany, specifically the Bundesheer, or Federal Army, of the Confederation. By observing the creation of the Federal Army, the military crises...
Online finding aids enhance reference service in libraries and complement printed guides. Reference service at our institution has changed through using an online finding aid along with a printed reference source. Librarians and...
I examine two different types of market data. First, I examine how distress risk is priced. Previous literature finds mixed results when examining if distress risk is priced in the cross section of returns, depending on whether firm...
Buckypaper (BP) is a macroscopic aggregate of carbon nanotubes. More specifically, it is an easy-to-handle thin film formed from carbon nanotube networks. Buckypaper contains valuable high mechanical strength, electrical, and thermal...
Our work builds on that of Barbot and Fenley to generalize Bonatti and Langevin's famous construction of a graph manifold with pseudo-Anosov flow in which all Seiftert fibered pieces of the torus decomposition are periodic. We provide...
Gail Galasko, PhD provides her perspective as a professor of pharmacology and researcher working in the area of diabetes research. Dr. Galasko encourages those working with diabetes to communicate the bigger picture of diabetes and its...
Florida has been actively implementing the AASHTO Pontis Bridge Management System (BMS) to support network-level and project-level decision making in the headquarters and district offices. As a concerted effort of the FDOT to improve the...
With the advent of nanotechnology, nanomaterials have drastically improved our lives in a very short span of time. The more we can tap into this resource, the more we can change our lives for better. All the applications of nanomaterials...
Shape represents a complex and rich source of biological information that is fundamentally linked to underlying mechanisms and functions. Many fields of biology employ mathematical tools for the statistical analysis of shape variation....
This dissertation research aims to provide a better understanding of people's credibility assessment of online information (i.e., Web credibility assessment), which is an important part of their information behavior. In particular, this...
It is well established that estrogens suppress feeding primarily by reducing meal size, and that this is partly mediated by enhancement of the response to satiation signals. Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) acts on receptor populations...
This dissertation explores tunebook revisions in the broad Sacred Harp tradition during the period from 1879 through 1936. My work focuses on the split of Sacred Harp singing into three competing sub-traditions during the early twentieth...
