(2005-08-10)Department: PsychologyAn ecological and multidisciplinary approach is used in predicting the impact of residential community identification (RCI) on distress and well-being. RCI is defined as a fusion of place identity to the residential street ...
-
(2014-07-25)Department: BiostatisticsThe discovery of genes linked with a large array of diseases has been accelerated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), in which genetic variants in different individuals are examined for relationship with a specified ...
-
(2018-02-16)Department: Computer ScienceCyber-physical systems (CPS), such as autonomous automobile systems and process control systems, are mechanisms that deeply intertwine physical and software components. A resilient CPS is one that maintains an accepted ...
-
(2012-08-13)Department: Electrical EngineeringNetworked multi-agent systems consist of a set of agents that exchange information through a medium referred to as the network. The agents in the networked system are tasked with achieving certain group objectives. These ...
-
(2019-11-25)Department: Computer ScienceBenefiting from the recent progress of AI research, computerized supports in making decisions have been deployed to a large variety of computer systems supporting decision making, which received research interests in the ...
-
(2018-04-13)Department: ReligionThis thesis seeks to interrogate theological embodiment through a liturgical lens. We seek to understand how the logic of the State — the logic of capitalism, precarity, and use — has insinuated itself into notions of ...
-
(2014-12-04)Department: Electrical EngineeringResistive random access memories (RRAM) have gained interest in recent years as a contender for the future of nonvolatile memory (NVM) due to their ease of integration into the CMOS process, for their scaling potential, ...
-
(2020-11-12)Department: Electrical EngineeringCyber-physical systems -- physical processes that are controlled by computational frameworks across networks -- have seen a large scale digitalization and democratization due to the improvements in edge computing, the ...
-
(2022-07-14)Department: ChemistryMatrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) allows for untargeted spatial investigation of complex biological systems, such as tissue sections. Confident analyte identification is ...
-
(2005-08-11)Department: Electrical EngineeringMiddleware is increasingly being used to develop and deploy large-scale distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems in domains ranging from avionics to industrial process control and financial services. Applications ...
-
(2015-06-15)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceAbsorption loss continues to be one of the primary impediments to the application of metal-based metamaterials at optical frequencies. Dielectric metamaterials offer one potential solution to this issue by eliminating Ohmic ...
-
(2008-08-11)Department: PhysicsResonant infrared (RIR) laser ablation of two model polymer systems is studied. A tunable free-electron laser (FEL) operating in the mid-infrared is used to resonantly excite vibrational modes of polystyrene and poly(ethylene ...
-
(2017-10-17)Department: Chemical EngineeringIn the United States, an estimated of 1.5 million individuals suffer from bone fractures annually. Among these bone fractures, intra-articular fractures (e.g., tibia plateau fractures) involve a weight-bearing joint which ...
-
(2014-09-05)Department: Civil EngineeringThis dissertation explores resource allocation methods for quantification and reduction of prediction uncertainty from computational models, in order to enable risk assessment and decision-making in engineering systems. ...
-
(2021-08-10)Department: Computer ScienceIn a Bulk Synchronous Parallel model, multiple tasks perform computations concurrently and need to synchronize with each other at specific “supersteps”. For this type of job, the overall duration of the computation depends ...
-
(2020-02-17)Department: Computer ScienceAdvances in Internet of Things (IoT) have enabled a variety of latency-sensitive applications that reside at the edge of the network, for example, smart-grids, intelligent transportation, etc. These applications often ...
-
(2009-11-11)Department: Computer ScienceThere is growing demand for simultaneous support of timeliness and high availability quality of service (QoS) properties in distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems deployed in resource-constrained environments. ...
-
(2016-02-29)Department: PhilosophyMedicine needs re-articulation of its moral commitments and obligations and re-dedication to the recognition of patients as persons. The practice of medicine is crucially dependent upon patient trust to accomplish its goals ...
-
(2021-06-14)Department: EnglishI am principally interested in theorizing how respectable rhetoric coheres with radical thought in nineteenth century Black women’s writing. Respectable rhetoric is not used in spite of radical thought. Rather, I argue ...
-
(2008-07-28)Department: PsychologyThe goal of this work was to investigate response inhibition and response monitoring in patients with schizophrenia using a saccade stop signal task, which assesses the ability to stop a planned action. Medicated patients ...
