A Necessary and Sufficient Condition for the Asymptotic Normality of the Quantile Estimator in the Deconvolution Problem
(2022-05-16)
In this study, we examine the estimation of a quantile function when we have n observations coming from the convolution model contaminated by additive measurement errors. Under certain assumptions, a kernel type deconvolution ...
I Kissed Shaming Goodbye: Mental Health Implications of Christian Purity Culture
(2022-05-17)
This study investigates the impact of Christian “purity culture,” a particular variety of shame and guilt-based approach to sexual development, on the millennial generation. An emerging body of personal reminiscences and ...
INVESTIGATION OF OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF NOBLE METAL AND SUPERCONDUCTING THIN FILMS AND DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF METAMATERIAL SOLAR ABSORBERS
(2023-05-12)
An extensive study of light-matter interactions leading to the generation of photon drag voltage under surface plasmon resonance conditions in noble metal thin films was undertaken by performing a series of experimental ...
MECHANICAL AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED DIGITAL MATERIALS
(2023-05-19)
Over the past decades, additive manufacturing has become a critical material processing tool. All ranges of materials including polymers, composites, metals, and ceramics can be used to fabricate structures with complex ...
Use of Smartphone Apps While Driving: Variations on driving performances, perceived risks and behaviors
(2023-05-19)
Distracted driving increases the crash frequencies on the road and subsequently leads to fatalities involved with crashes. As technology has evolved, drivers are continuously exposed to newer technology in their vehicles ...
Investigation of F420-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants using pH profiles and stopped-flow spectrometric ligand-binding methods
(2022-05-18)
F420-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (FGD) from Mycobacteria tuberculosis, catalyzes a reaction the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) to 6-phosphogluconolactone using the oxidized F420 cofactor, which is ...
Engineering Enzymatic Pathways in the Gut Microbiome to Control Dietary Isoflavone Metabolism
(2022-05-17)
Observing how plasmids persist within the gut can help us understand how newly introduced genes are transmitted within the gut microbiome. I sought to determine the persistence of genetic constructs introduced to the murine ...
NOT ALL DISCOUNTS ARE CREATED EQUAL: POWER DISTANCE BELIEF AND LOCUS-OF-DISCOUNT IN A PRODUCT BUNDLE
(2022-05-17)
This paper examines the relationship between power distance belief (PDB) – the tendency to accept and endorse power disparity – and preference for a discount on the focal (vs. tie-in) product in a product bundle. The ...
Black Male Baccalaureate Degree Attainment: The relationship between Single- Mother status, family background factors, high school GPA and college engagement
(2022-06-13)
Low bachelor’s degree attainment rates for Black males is a multiplex problem due to the array of academic and non-academic factors affecting student experiences. Among these factors, family factors play an important role ...
PIF transposable elements domestication and genetic novelty in insects
(2022-05-17)
Transposable elements or TEs, are selfish genetic elements that represent a major component of a eukaryotic genome. They are genetic units that can move and amplify within a host genome. Mobilization of these TEs can be ...
