(2016-05-10)
This dissertation exemplifies how the application of a transatlantic commodity approach can broaden understanding of film as a mass medium, its business, and its cultural influences. By employing a more inclusive national ...
The Influence of Functional Weights on the Performance of Least Squares Finite Element Formulation on Hybrid Meshes
(2016-12-19)
The Least-Squares Finite Element Method (LSFEM) is a numerical method for solving partial differential equations (PDE) approximately by minimizing the L-2 norm of the PDE residuals. Unlike the more common Galerkin approach, ...
Human Robot Interaction with 3D-Printed Whole Body Robotic Skin
(2016-05-10)
This thesis presents work of a newly developed pressure sensor for robot skin, from fabrication to application. Robot skin similar to human skin meant to have several sensing capabilities including pressure, temperature ...
Searches for Supersymmetric Particles with the ATLAS Detector using Boosted Decay Tree Topologies
(2016-08-05)
The existence of a scalar Higgs particle poses a challenge to the Standard Model through an unnatural hierarchy problem with quadratic divergence. A supersymmetric framework, proposing heavy partners to every Standard Model ...
Neurobiological correlates of stress and the pathophysiology of depression: associations among social victimization, IL-6, CRP, and BDNF Val66Met
(2016-10-25)
Peer victimization, a common psychosocial stressor in adolescence, is linked to adverse health outcomes ranging from depression to changes in biological functioning. Social victimization is particularly harmful given the ...

(2016-08-12)
Nurse educators need valid and reliable instruments to evaluate student performance during summative clinical experiences and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). The purpose of this retrospective, secondary ...
THE EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY ON EXPOSURE OF LEGACY AND FUTURE TECHNOLOGY HARDWARE, UNDER REAL DATA CENTER CONDITIONS IN AN ANSI/ISA CLASSIFIED G2 ENVIRONMENT
(2016-08-12)
It is well established that it is safe to operate information technology (IT) equipment in a G1 classified contaminant severity level when operating within specified ASHRAE recommended and allowable limits in an air-side ...
INVESTIGATING CAUSAL INTERACTIONS IN THE HUMAN BRAIN USING EEG AND fNIRS
(2016-08-24)
It is necessary for distributed neural assemblies to work in collaboration to achieve the most elementary brain functions. Activities within segregated neural assemblies are integrated to process an incredibly diverse ...
Integrated Evaluation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Traditional Air Pollutants, and Economics of Three Types of Landfills
(2016-08-26)
Despite the decreasing rate of landfilled waste due to increases in reuse and recycling, landfilling remains an enormous part of the waste industry of the United States due to population and economic growth. In addition, ...
The Influence of Social Capital On Project Success Outcomes and the Moderating Role of Project Complexity
(2016-08-12)
Social capital has been found to benefit projects and project teams in organizations. However, the research literature is unclear about the extent to which these benefits may be negatively impacted by project complexity. ...
