(2009-11-09)Department: Biomedical InformaticsThe emergency room is a challenging place to practice medicine. Overcrowding, episodic care, and an interrupt driven environment are all factors contributing to medical errors in the ED . We performed a comprehensive ...
-
(2005-07-25)Department: Mechanical EngineeringThe purpose of this work is to present a scalable distributed sensor network capable of localizing acoustic sources in the near-field. Traditional sensor networks employ a central controller, however; centralized data ...

(2015-03-11)Department: ChemistryWe developed a novel approach for the general and enantioselective synthesis of a diverse array of small to large 1-azabicyclo[m.n.0]alkyl ring systems with an embedded olefin handle for further functionalization. The ...
-
(2012-11-05)Department: ChemistryThe azabicyclic ring system is a common structural subunit present in numerous alkaloid natural products and serves as an important scaffold in biologically active and pharmaceutically significant compounds. Pyrrolizidine, ...

(2018-08-27)Department: PsychologyMediation analysis is an increasingly popular statistical method in the social sciences. However, currently available effect size measures for mediation have substantial limitations. In particular, complex mediation models ...
-
(2011-08-01)Department: Computer ScienceThis thesis introduces graph class C, a recognition algorithm for graphs in the class, and shows that some problems are NP-complete on the class. Class C is a generalization of chordal graphs. Informally, a graph is in ...

(2009-08-27)Department: Electrical EngineeringA reliability concern of growing interest in the microelectronics community is the deleterious effect of ionizing radiation. The so-called "single events" – single particles which can penetrate semiconductor material ...
-
(2012-08-13)Department: Computer ScienceAs the complexity of software systems rises, designers are often faced with the challenge of identifying potential design solutions from a large space of possible design alternatives before the actual implementation. Design ...

(2013-09-30)Department: Teaching and LearningIn this dissertation, I drew on analytical frames found in genre theory to examine digital storytelling as a cultural practice with historically developed genre features, practices, and structures. A central concern was ...
-
(2014-07-30)Department: PsychologyThis dissertation proposes a graphical analysis and presentation system for fitting, evaluating, and reporting longitudinal models in social sciences. The graphical innovations demonstrated here address practical issues ...
-
(2009-04-08)Department: Community Research and ActionMuch ink has been spilled over the question of whether or not there is a “culture war” going on in the United States between religious conservatives and liberals (Hunter, 1991). This thesis examines the possibility of ...
