(2024-01-31)Department: Mechanical EngineeringUnilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) is a condition in which one side of the vocal fold loses its adduction function and thus the vocal fold cannot vibrate normally, leading to difficulties in voice production. In type-1 ...
-
(2023-12-20)Department: Electrical EngineeringArbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) are not typically feasible as subsystems on integrated circuits due to their size and complexity, but they are versatile circuits that are broadly useful. The purpose of this work is ...
-
(2024-02-06)Department: Chemical EngineeringThe skin serves as the body’s primary barrier against external chemicals and pathogens as well as water loss. This protective function is localized to the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum ...
-
(2024-01-24)Department: Electrical EngineeringWith the escalating complexity of Deep Neural Network (DNN) tasks, heterogeneous computing systems are widely employed in real-time, safety-critical systems like autonomous vehicles. These systems, while highly versatile ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceAt just one atom thick, the pristine lattices of two dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, have unique barrier properties which enable selective transport of protons over nanoscale species. Upon introduction of ...
-
(2024-02-29)Department: Biomedical InformaticsClinical risk prediction models trained on electronic health record (EHR) data can support clinicians in decision making by estimating prognostic risk. Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) risk modeling presents particular ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: PhysicsOne primary goal of particle physics is to examine the properties of particles and the forces by which they interact. Although physicists have previously used a theoretical framework called the Standard Model (SM) to ...
-
(2024-02-28)Department: BiochemistryTranscription is dysregulated in the majority of human cancers. Understanding how normal transcriptional programs are dysregulated in cancers is crucial to understanding how cancers develop and successfully treating them. ...
-
(2024-02-27)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsColonization of the human stomach by Helicobacter pylori is the primary risk factor for development of gastric cancer. H. pylori infection stimulates a gastric mucosal inflammatory response and can trigger a cascade of ...
-
(2024-03-24)Department: Law & EconomicsThis dissertation examines The Efficacy of Risk Assessment Instruments in Juvenile Pretrial Detention.
-
(2024-02-23)Department: PsychologyHow do people decide what is true and what is false? Decades of psychological research shows that one factor affecting these judgements is repetition: the more a person sees a statement, the more likely they are to believe ...
-
(2024-02-26)Department: ReligionThis dissertation delves into the multifaceted exploration of Afro-Caribbean feminist activism in Puerto Rico, shedding light on its significance and impact within the context of ongoing colonization. It critically examines ...
-
(2024-02-19)Department: Molecular Physiology & BiophysicsMultiple studies have shown that elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and many other conditions. Given the biological importance of FBG, genetic ...
-
(2024-03-01)Department: NeuroscienceWhile significant effort has been made to understand the neural basis of addiction, it remains unclear how drugs of abuse alter the neural systems involved in motivated behavior to control drug taking and seeking. The goal ...
-
(2024-02-13)Department: Biological SciencesMetabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and infertility are pressing global health concerns that necessitate an in-depth exploration of their genetic underpinnings. One such genetic determinant is ATP10A, a flippase ...
-
(2024-02-19)Department: NeuroscienceNeuron come in more than 500-fold range in cell size (include soma, dendrites, axons, and all arbors) in mammalian evolution and across structures (Keller et al., 2018; Mota & Herculano-Houzel, 2014a). This variability in ...
-
(2024-03-22)Department: ChemistryChiroptical spectroscopy relies on the differential interaction of left- and right-circularly polarized light with chiral molecules. Chiral molecules are ubiquitous in nature and chemistry, and thus the elucidation of their ...
-
(2024-03-18)Department: NeuroscienceTraditionally, the circuits responsible for processing cortical information of different modalities and communicating with the striatum for the purpose of guiding behavior were believed to act in separate, parallel courses. ...
