High Temperature superconductors (HTS) are the only way to achieve elds with superconducting magnets higher than the 25 T of Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS). No-Insulation (NI) REBCO magnets using REBa2Cu3Ox as the superconductor...
The current fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) differentiates individuals with conduct disorder according to the presence vs. absence of “limited...
Conditional branches have traditionally been a performance bottleneck for most processors. The high frequency of branches in code coupled with expensive pipeline flushes on mispredictions make branches expensive instructions worth...
The first half of the twentieth century was in many ways a watershed era for women and their role in British society. The world wars ushered in a time of unprecedented change. The wars opened positions for women outside of the home, ...
The Pesta Paduan Suara Gerejawi (PESPARAWI), an Indonesian Christian choral festival or its predecessor the Pesta Paduan Suara Gerejani (PESPARANI), has become a nationwide celebratory event in Indonesia and has helped Indonesian...
Peatlands contain a significant amount of the global soil carbon, but the climate feedback affecting carbon stability within these peatland systems is still relatively unknown. Organic matter composition of peatlands plays a major role...
It is commonly thought that external influences such as indoctrination, coercion, and subtle manipulation can affect our status as morally responsible agents. In extreme cases, external interventions may undermine our moral...
This thesis explores the life stories of four Chinese and Taiwanese immigrants in Tallahassee by collecting detailed narratives. There are three aspects that this thesis focused on: 1) motivations for emigration from their home countries...
In 2014 the Iñupiaq Native American tribe of Alaska published Never Alone, a video game that adapts a traditional folktale into a cooperative puzzle platformer. The game is an assertion of sovereignty for the Iñupiaq people in its role...
This thesis is about musicians in the city of La Paz, Bolivia, and how they pursue professional careers through the performance of a diverse range of musics in a wide range of settings. The subjects of this research are mostly...
Youth with juvenile justice (JJ) interactions and/or adjudica-tions face a number of challenges as they transition back into their community, including college and career readiness needs. In addition to the typical concerns of...
The past several decades have seen great advances in the field of organizational politics. At the individual level, political skill has garnered the majority of the scholarly focus, whereas it's motivational counterpart, political will, ...
Recently, the smart grid technologies have been developed rapidly recently, which an important component is the so called demand response management (DRM). With the help of a DRM program, a utility company can adjust the power demand and...
Scholars have hailed David Cox (1783-1859) as one of the pillars of English landscape painting of the early nineteenth century, together with John Constable and J.M.W. Turner. Working primarily in watercolor, Cox celebrated the English...
Mechanical and Electrical Characterization of Critical Current Density in Round and Rectangular Reinforced Bi₂Sr₂CaCu2O₈₊ₓ Wires for High Field Magnet Applications
In recent years there has been a large push for magnet technologies extending into the 20 to 30 T range. High field solenoids can be made using resistive materials like Cu, however the resistive losses associated with Cu electromagnets...
Electron transfer dynamics at the nanocrystalline semiconducting metal oxide interface plays a pivotal role in diverse applications such as dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), dye-sensitized photoelectric solar cells (DSPECs), sensors...
There is a breadth of literature analyzing how particular institutional frameworks affect the propensity to engage in violent conflict. The democratic peace theory suggests that democracies will be less likely to engage in conflict with...
Have you ever noticed when you are hungry and looking for something to eat, you can smell the freshly salted fries of McDonalds before seeing the golden arches? That is because our sense of smell, olfaction, is intimately linked with...
It is beneficial for Chinese English-learners to improve their communicative competence through being taught in a communicative-based class (especially with the use of task-based language teaching, Nuevo, 2006). However, previous studies...
Recently, cities that bid for hosting the Olympic Games have withdrawn due to public referendums and lack of political support. Although the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) efforts to underline the importance of the Olympic...
The Florida State University Career Center has a long history of providing career services rang-ing from helping individuals make initial career decision making, to managing career transitions, to navigating the job search process. What...
This dissertation presents a framework for understanding how beliefs about difficulty and talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) influence students’ subsequent decisions to major and complete degrees in those...
LIS literature suggests that the information norms of immigrants are situated in information poverty, gatekeeping, and the digital divide—all of which inhibit access to information. The canon primarily addresses how insufficient...
In 2018 we continue to live in a divisive society, including divisions across racial and gender boundaries and among those with different sexual orientations. Athletes today, partially as a result of the pervasiveness of social media, ...
Molecular magnets containing one or more open shell elements are one of the proposed systems for quantum information processing that can be chemically engineered to have well-separated and stable quantum states. This dissertation...
Animals move through landscapes where their resources are unevenly and often patchily distributed. When animals move and choose among their scattered resources in predictable ways, ecologists may be able to anticipate the spatial...
The college experience for many students is marked by challenges and concerns surrounding educational and career choices. These challenges and concerns may be reflected in a student’s career decision state, or the extent that one is...
Life is so very complicated. We have rules for everything to help us maintain order and make sense of the chaotic world around us. To live with diabetes in this world, we develop strategies that help us manage complications....
