Ultrafast phonon and spin dynamics studies in magnetic heterostructure systems
(2008-11-18)
Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance (GMR), the spin of the electron has attracted significant interest in the field of microelectronics. Spintronics, which involves manipulating both quantum spin states of ...
Coherent acoustic phonons in metal/dielectric superlattices
(2009-11-05)
Pulsed infrared laser annealing experiments on metal implanted
dielectric matrices were performed, using a free electron laser as a
source of infrared radiation at 8 and 9 *m wavelengths. This was
the first study where ...
Meta-Standards and Order-Qualifiers: An Event Study of the Impact of ISO 9000 Certification on the Market Value of a Firm
(2005-12-05)
While ISO 9000 has been shown to improve internal metrics of firm performance, external measurements may be unaffected. This thesis examines the economic value of ISO 9000 by assessing the equity returns and risk parameters ...
How Do Early Childhood Teachers Know How They're Doing? Receipt of Feedback and Its Relationship to Use of Recommended Practices
(2008-11-25)
The first objective of the current study was to determine if early childhood teachers receive feedback about their classroom practices, and the second objective was to determine if feedback predicts teachers’ use of ...
Stability of externalizing problem behaviors with onset in early childhood: a meta-analytic review
(2004-11-06)
A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the magnitude of stability of externalizing problem behaviors with onset before age 6 and the variables affecting the stability effect sizes. Gender difference in the stability was ...
Characterizing eukaryotic single cell motility via bimodal analysis
(2009-12-16)
Bimodal analysis, a cellular-scale approach to studying eukaryotic single cell migration by performing a model-based analysis of single cell video-microscopy data, is described. The bimodal framework that is a generalization ...
Visualization of nuclear targeting of breast cancer cell lines. [and] Quantification and detection of matrilysin produced by five cancer cell lines
(2006-12-19)
The collection of visual evidence of M13 bacteriophage displaying a nuclear localization heptapeptide localizing to the nuclei of breast cancer cells is described in this thesis. The bacteriophages displaying the heptapeptide ...
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Binocular Rivalry
(2008-12-16)
When two eyes view dissimilar monocular images, those two images resist binocular combination and, instead, engage in competitive interactions that produce fluctuations in perception over time; this phenomenon is called ...
Toward a womanist homiletic: Katie Cannon, Alice Walker and emancipatory proclamation
(2005-12-15)
RELIGION
TOWARD A WOMANIST HOMILETIC: KATIE CANNON, ALICE WALKER AND EMANCIPATORY PROCLAMATION
Donna E. Allen
Dissertation under the direction of Professor John S. McClure
This project builds on the work of ...
Adaptive Image Processing Systems
(2008-01-02)
This project is concerned with adaptive image processing systems. In this dissertation I present the ground work for a generalized adaptive image processing (AIP) methodology / environment that can evolve to increasingly ...
