Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions to Reduce Suicide Attempt and Completion among Female Service Members and Veterans: A Systematic Review
(2015-12-11)
This thesis is a semi-replication study that looks at the current knowledge base regarding the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as an intervention to reduce suicide attempt or suicide completion vs. TAU, with ...
The effects of ketamine exposure on NMDA receptor mediated synaptic transmission in the developing brain - A mechanistic study of ketamine-induced neuroapoptosis
(2015-12-09)
Ketamine is a widely used pediatric anesthetic because of its high potency in pediatric patients. Side-effects produced by ketamine anesthesia in adults are also not seen in children after ketamine use. However, several ...
BOARD LEVEL FLEXURAL RELIABILITY TESTING AND FAILURE ANALYSIS OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS WITH WCSP PACKAGES
(2015-12-09)
Printed circuit boards, widely known as PCBs; are the skeleton behind every technology today. Electronics have integrated with every other engineering domain to improve the outcomes. It is very important that they remain ...
New conductometric detection methods for sensitive ion chromatographic measurement of weak electrolytes
(2015-11-24)
Since Suppressed conductometric anion chromatography (SCAC) was proposed in the mid-1970s, SCAC has become a widely used tool for the determination of anion species in aqueous samples. Its application ranges from trace ...
Enhanced Mechanical Stability Of Interlayer Dielectrics With Self-organized Molecular Pores
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
In order to reduce resistance-capacitance delays in interconnect structures, ultralow-k films are used as interlayer dielectric materials. In most cases the preferred method to achieve the lower dielectric constant is the ...
Characterization Of Fracture Toughness In Amorphous Diamond Like Carbon Thin Films And Coatings
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Any material containing a crack when subjected to a certain amount of load, will eventually fail. This failure of material can be either time consuming (ductile) or instant (brittle) depending on the type of material and ...
Magnetic-plasmonic Multilayered Nanorods
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2015)
Multilayered nanorods which consist of alternating magnetic layers separated by Au layers combine two distinctive properties, magnetic properties and surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) properties into one nano-entity. Their ...
Multiphase flow modeling and analysis of filling process for pulsed detonation engines
(2015-05)
The filling process of a pulsed detonation engine with fuel and oxidizer should be carried out quickly in order to maintain a high frequency of operation. The objectives of this research were to model an efficient inlet ...
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 ...
