Normative Influences on the Non-Medical Use of Prescription Stimulants Among College Students 

Silvestri, Mark (2014-06-18)
Recent epidemiological data has indicated an increasing trend in the non-medical use of prescription drugs (NMUPD) among college students. NMUPD involves using a prescription medication without a prescription, or using the ...

“Not a Prayer except Ourselves”: Christian Theological Feminism in the Poetry of Frances Harper, Emily Dickinson, Vassar Miller, and Sharon Olds 

Hakima, Rabi'a (2011-11-21)
Luce Irigaray proposes the possibility of an ethical society in which woman is no longer subjugated to man’s concept of her identity but has an identity of her own. As Irigaray and other theological feminists have pointed ...

'Not so much written as dreamed': Quaker Dream-work in Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly 

Reid, Jennifer (2006-05-15)
The religious element of Charles Brockden Brown’s Edgar Huntly; or, Memoirs of a Sleep-walker (1799), and, specifically, the novel’s relationship with Quakerism, is often misunderstood, understated, or simply ignored by ...

Note Detection and Multiple Fundamental Frequency Estimation in Piano Recordings 

Thompson, Matthew (2015-12-10)
Automatic music transcription (AMT) is a difficult signal processing problem, which has, in the past decade or two, begun to receive proper treatment. An overview of the problem with a focus on the nature of music signals ...

The Nourishment of Assistant Principals: The Effective Development of Future School Principals in Alabama 

Inabinett, Amanda (2016-01-11)
The assistant principalship is a vital and necessary pathway to the principalship. There are more demands for the principal to be the change agent for a school system and there is great concern about the quality of ...

Novel Analgesics and the Impact of Route of Administration in the Horse 

Davis, Heather (2019-12-05)
primary goal of this dissertation was to describe the disposition of novel analgesics and the impact of their administration on the equine patient. In order to support this aim, a novel, non-septic, transient model of ...

A novel and integrated process for the valorization of kraft lignin 

More, Ajinkya (2022-07-28)
In this work, the main objective was to produce high value products from kraft lignin with an integrated approach in the pulp and paper industry. Production of vanillin, vanillic acid and bio-based vitrimers represent the ...

Novel Approach for Assessment and Mitigation of Heat-Stress Effects 

Moore, Timothy (2013-10-21)
We have characterized the efficacy of a Bacillus subtilis probiotic strain for the prevention of heat stress-related complications in rats. It has been shown that pre-treatment of rats with probiotic bacteria prevented ...

A Novel Approach to Building Surrogate Models of Stochastic Simulations 

Mohammadi, Samira (2022-07-28)  ETD File Embargoed
High-fidelity simulations represent the processes and phenomena in a detailed manner. However, they are generally computationally expensive to evaluate for optimization and sensitivity analysis applications. Additionally, ...
