Advanced Relational Interventions, Emotional Arousal, The Real Relationship, and Single Session Outcome
(2017-11-30)
This study examined relationships among client-perceived session factors (self-reported emotional experience and judgments about the extent to which the therapist utilized process interventions), therapist-perceived session ...
Advanced SiO2/SiC Interface Passivation
(2012-10-08)
Silicon carbide is a wide band semiconductor with high critical field EC (~ x7 Si) and excellent thermal conductivity (~ x3 Si). These properties make SiC a good candidate for power switching applications. The Baliga figure ...
Advanced Statistical Learning Approaches to Healthcare
(2019-06-03)
In this dissertation, we propose a novel statistical modeling methodology that effectively analyzes and extracts information from large datasets. Two real datasets were employed to validate the proposed methodology: breast ...
Advancements and Implementation of Polynomial-Based Learning Machines for Data Processing and System Modeling
(2014-04-23)
At the present time, the need in all disciplines for efficient and powerful algorithms for the handling of large and complex datasets is certainly at its highest. Extremely large multi-dimensional datasets are commonplace ...
Advancements in Vacuum Process Molding and Casting
(2005-08-15)
Vacuum assisted molding, or ‘V’ Process molding, possesses many benefits over other sand casting processes. However, the process lacks the high cooling rates and speed of solidification that other sand casting processes ...
Advances in Digital Gradient Sensing (DGS) Method for Experimental Mechanics
(2019-09-19)
Shape and surface topography evaluation from measured slopes is of considerable engineering significance in optical metrology and experimental mechanics. These kinematic quantities are often used for metrology of optical ...
Advances in Electronic Chaotic Oscillators with Applications in Communication Systems and Radar System

Advances in Understanding Graphene Hybrids and MXenes
(2023-03-01)
The overall goal of this research was to contribute to understanding the effects of additional components on the microstructures and properties of two-dimensional (2D) systems, namely graphene hybrids and MXenes. The first ...
Advancing a better understanding of influences on relational health: A prevention science approach
(2016-07-28)
One of the strongest predictors of optimal health, well-being, and life satisfaction is having stable and supportive relationships (Pinker, 2014). Yet as evidenced by high rates of relationship dissolution, maintaining ...
Advancing Cancer Treatment: Nano-Based Therapy and Innovative Evaluation Platform
(2024-04-29)
Cancer continues to be a predominant cause of mortality despite extensive research efforts. The intricate microenvironment surrounding cancer poses formidable challenges for effective treatment strategies. In response to ...
Advancing Progressive Orthodoxy: William Owen Carver and the Reconciliation of Progress and Southern Baptist Tradition
(2005-12-15)
One of the most important debates among scholars of southern religion concerns the reaction of white southern evangelical Protestantism to the modernizing influences that prevailed outside the region from the end of the ...
The Advising Behaviors Checklist: A Study of the Preferred Qualities and Behaviors of Academic Advisors
(2014-05-01)
The purpose of this study was to determine what qualities/behaviors undergraduate students value in their academic advisors versus those qualities/behaviors valued by academic advisors. More specifically, this is a study ...
AE Simulator A Serial Production Line Simulator
(2009-08-03)
Consider an unreliable serial line with capacitated buffers between machines. Operators are required to repair machines when they fail and machines are blocked when the buffers are full and are starved when the buffers are ...
