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 ...
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 ...
SYNTHESIS OF ALLYLIC SYNTHONS AND APPLICATION OF PYRROLE THIOCARBOXYLIC ACIDS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF PYRROLE-IMIDAZOLE ALKALOIDS
(2022-05-17)
The first part of this dissertation describes the synthesis of allylic compounds from terminal alkenes without the use of any catalysts or oxidants. One of the most versatile molecules in organic chemistry is allylic ...
Microfluidic flow focusing platforms for optofluidic droplet laser development
(2022-05-18)
Optofluidic droplet lasers have been developed for different applications in biomedical sciences, such as biosensing, cell tracking, tissue imaging, on-chip spectroscopy, and flow cytometry. Utilizing different generation ...
Quantitative Non-Destructive Evaluation of Rebar Corrosion in Concrete
(2022-05-17)
Corrosion of rebar is considered the leading cause of deterioration in concrete structures. When steel rust, it occupies larger volume and creates pressure on the concrete, leading to cracking and spalling. As the cross-section ...
Novel Roles of Standard and Non-standard Null Lagrangians in Classical and Quantum Physics
(2023-05-19)
The three known families of Lagrangians are standard, non-standard, and null Lagrangians. While Lagrangians are widely used in Physics for their ability to characterize physical systems, most of this work uses only standard ...
HOW THEY SEE ME: REENTRY EXPERIENCES OF WOMEN WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES: AN INTERPRETATIVE PHENOMENOLOGICAL APPROACH
(2023-05-22)
The reintegration of justice-involved people into the community has emerged as a key concern of the criminal justice system as prison populations have increased globally. High recidivism rates indicate that prisons have ...
ANALYSIS OF ISOTOPIC ISOMERS BY GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MOLECULAR ROTATIONAL RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE METHOD DEVELOPMENT BY LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
(2023-05-22)
This dissertation focuses on developing improved methods and a better understanding of gas and liquid chromatographic separation of isotopic isomers and enantiomers. The second and third chapters of this thesis discuss ...
Development of Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging (FLEET) and Femtosecond Two-Photon Absorption Laser Induced Fluorescence (fs-TALIF) Diagnostics for Species Number Density and Velocity Measurements in Arc-Jet Flows
(2023-05-19)
Arc-jet flows are the only ground-test facilities that can recreate hypersonic high-enthalpy flight conditions for long durations. Characterizing these complex flow regimes, generally under thermo-chemical non-equilibrium, ...
