(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of History, 2011-05)
Engineering a perfusion-enabled mechanical compressor for long-duration immobilization and microscopy of cells and small organisms
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The study of living specimens is essential to the understanding of
organismal behavior. Unfortunately, a major difficulty in the study of
live organisms is that many move in and out of the field of view or
focal plane ...
The German Understanding of National History in the Hauptstadtdebatte

Social Trait Judgment and Affect Recognition from Static Faces and Video Vignettes in Schizophrenia
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-05)
Previous research has shown impairment in affect recognition in individuals with schizophrenia. Poor affect recognition has been associated with more severe clinical symptoms and poor social functioning. The current body ...
Perturbation Theory for Thin Cladding Layers on Silicon Photonic Systems
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
I develop a perturbation theory for resonant frequency shifts caused by thin
layer of material added to dielectric systems. This development can be used
to effectively model photonic surface-sensing systems, which use ...
Measuring Radial Velocities of Low Mass Eclipsing Binaries
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Due to the complex nature of the spectra of low-mass M type stars, it
is difficult to determine their metallicities and temperatures
directly. By studying eclipsing binary pairs comprising one F, G, or
K type star with ...
The effect of weight distribution and previous experience on tool use training in infancy
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-04)
Many different factors play a role in the development of an infant’s ability to use tools. A previous version of the current study examined active versus observational learning on an infant’s ability to be trained to use ...
A Prospective Examination of Neurocognitive Functioning in Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-04-06)
Deficits in neurocognitive functioning are the most commonly reported adverse late effect in children diagnosed with brain tumors. However, few studies have examined this decline in functioning prospectively. The aim of ...
Caretaking Behaviors and Stress Reactivity in Adolescents of Depressed Parents
(Vanderbilt University, 2011-05-02)
The mechanisms of stress responses “fight or flight” and “tend and befriend” were used to define the stress response to parental depression. In a sample of 180 families of parents with a history of major depressive disorder, ...
The Buffering Effects of Positive Emotions Against Stress
