(2016-05-10)In this study, we explored the use of functional connectivity patterns in fMRI data to classify subjects on the basis of Parkinson's disease. We explore various brain networks and features. We partition our fMRI data in 5 ... -
Disease in a Changing Ocean: Ecoimmunological Approaches to Coral Reef Ecology
(2018-04-26)Increasing prevalence of anthropogenic stressors and climate change have resulted in rapid increases in the incidence and severity marine disease affecting a number of vulnerable taxa. Cnidarians, including both reef-building ... -
Dishonest Associates In The Workplace: The Correlation Between Motivation And Opportunity In Retail Among Employee Theft
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2009-09-16)White-collar crime is a major loss to the economy, employers, and consumers. It is a crime that often goes undetected, and when detected, employers rarely file charges, so estimates as to how often it occurs are hard to ... -
Dispensationalism And United States Foreign Policy With Israel
(Political Science, 2008-08-08)I incorporated various public opinion surveys regarding the nature of Dispensational concepts to convey the prevalence of Dispensational theology in America. I incorporated demographic data regarding survey participants ... -
Dispersion Engineering With Leaky-mode Resonance Structures
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)In the thesis, a numerical method for the analysis of optical pulses propagation through leaky-mode/guided-mode resonance (GMR) structures is implemented by integrating a Fourier decomposition technique and the rigorous ... -
Dispersion study of Metal-Organic Frameworks and Synthesis of MOF-High-density polyethylene fibers
(2023-05-19)Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a highly versatile class of materials with a wide range of potential applications in gas storage, separation, catalysis, drug delivery, and sensing. The ability to tailor the properties ... -
Disruption Of Information Technology Projects: The Reactive Decoupling Of Project Management Methodologies
