First observation of the direct detection of positive D-meson into anti-K-long + 3 pions and negative D-meson into K-long + 3 pions with the Fermilab FOCUS experiment
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2014-04)
In this thesis the decays of positive D-mesons into neutral anti-K-mesons and
three charged pions and of negative D-mesons into neutral K-mesons and three
charged pions are reconstructed in both long and short neutral ...
Effect of Discrete Emotions on Eyewitness Memory and Helping Behavior
(Vanderbilt University, 2016-04-15)
Many studies have shown that how we are feeling effects what we remember. However, few have addressed how specific, discrete emotions (happiness, fear, disgust, etc.) effect memory. This project examined the effect of ...
Family Perspectives on a Successful Transition to Adulthood for Individuals with Disabilities
(2013-10-15)
When researchers evaluate adult outcomes for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ID/DD), the perspective of families is not always considered. Parents of individuals with ID/DD (n=198) answered ...
Thermal fabrication of gold nanocages
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04-11)
The purpose of this research project was to test and characterize a new method
for gold nanoparticle production. The main idea was based on the preliminary
observations made in earlier work, which had suggested that small ...
The quadratic approximation for quintessence with arbitrary initial conditions
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2014-04)
We examine models of quintessence in which a minimally-coupled scalar field
phi evolves near a
local extremum of its potential V ( phi) at phi_*. Assuming that (1/V
)(dV/dphi) is small and w ~ -1, we
Taylor expand the ...
Effects of Victimization on Depression: How Children Respond to Being Bullied
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-02-06)
Many victimized children suffer negative psychological outcomes as a result of being bullied. One prominent consequence is that of depression. In a cross-sectional study about childhood victimization and depression among ...
Bombing Sterling Hall: Protest, Rhetoric, and Violence in 1960s Madison, Wisconsin
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of History, 2013-04-12)
The relation of body image guilt, shame, behavioral self-blame, and characterological self-blame to depression in children and adolescents
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-01-31)
This study examines the relation between adolescent depression, shame/characterological self-blame, and body image. It addresses the question: Do adolescents’ attributions and feelings about their body image make them more ...
Emittance and entropy of electron beams
(Vanderbilt University. Department of Physics and Astronomy, 2014-04)
Creating high-brightness electron beams, which have many practical
applications, is done with cathodes in regions with large electric
field by field emission. The brightness is high when the current is
high and the ...
In Defense of Reputation: The Duel of Honor and Royal Authority in Jacobean England
(Vanderbilt University, 2014-04-25)
