NARRATIONS OF AMBIGUITY: CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO TRADITIONAL NARRATIVE THEORY
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
This dissertation examines contemporary American novels and short stories through the lens of narrative and rhetorical theory. While I begin by tracing Wayne Booth's contributions in The Rhetoric of Fiction and the multitude ...
Comprehensive Study Of Composition Gradient Strontium Doped Lanthanum Manganite Thin Films Deposited By Magnetron Co-sputtering
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
In this body of work, the examination of three different types of Strontium doped lanthanum manganite thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering in the Surface and Nano Engineering Laboratory (SaNEL) allowed for the ...
VALUABLE PARTNERSHIPS: THE REGIONAL BENEFITS OF, INTERLOCAL CONTRACTS FOR TEXAS CITIES
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
Local governing units have long utilized interlocal contracts and agreements to create more effective and efficient provision of public goods and services by reducing costs, creating scalable economies, and eliminating ...
Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance Of Titania Nanobelts Decorated With Gold Particles Synthesized Using Stirring-assisted Hydrothermal Method
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
In this thesis, anatase TiO2 nanobelts (TNBs) have been successfully obtained via an optimized stirring-assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The impact of stirring speed has been studied. Difference in morphology caused by ...
DEMYSTIFYING THE STRUCTURES OF LUDIC TEXTUALITY: NARRATIVE, RHETORIC, AND GENRE IN HYPERERGODIC COMPOSITION
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
In an increasingly remediated world, it has become an increasingly relevant necessity not only to understand how immersive participatory experiences convey messages, but also to be able to convey to students the knowledge ...
ASSESSING THE ‘BLACK BOX’ OF TRANSPORTATION MODELING: MAKING EVERYDAY TRAVEL EXPERIENCE MATTER
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
The black-boxing of contested knowledge into a transportation model is a process of establishing validity, thus dominance, over issues such as determining future transportation needs. Considering that the use of modeling ...
Studying An All-vanadium Photoelectrochemical Cell For Highly Efficient Solar Energy Conversion And Storage Via Photocatalytic Redox Reaction
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)

QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION OF A THRUST VECTOR CONTROLLED TRANSPORT AT THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PHASE
(2015-12-16)
The impetus to innovate, to push the bounds and break the molds of evolutionary design trends, often comes from competition but sometimes requires catalytic political legislature. For this research endeavor, the ‘catalyzing ...
ENERGY EFFICIENT FRAMEWORKS FOR PARTICIPATORY URBAN SENSING
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
Participatory sensing is a powerful paradigm in which users participate in the sensing campaign by collecting and crowdsourcing fine-grained information and opinions about events of interest (such as weather or environment ...
CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES FOR STUDYING CELLULAR MIGRATION AND CHEMOTAXIS
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-05)
Microfluidic devices, often called "lab on a chip", have been utilized in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology. In this thesis, the application of a microfluidic device as an in vitro assay to study cellular ...
