American Civil Religion Reexamined: A Preliminary Study into Organic and Contrived Civil Theology
(2007-05-15)
Civil religion forms both the basis and the underlying reality for any human
society, informing the myth structure of society and how a society interprets itself within the structure of reality. A distinction, however, ...
American Masculinity in Contemporary Adult Comics
(2011-05-04)
The connections between American comics and American men have been an interest to the academy since Frederic Wertham’s attack on comic’s influence on American youth in 1954. This study examines the current trends in ...
AmericanWork, Inc. Supportive Living Program: A Program Evaluation
(2012-08-29)
The AmericanWork, Inc. Supportive Living Program is a residential program for the severe and persistent mentally ill. This program evaluation sought to determine the variables which impact the consumer transitioning out ...
Amino acid supplementation of hydrolyzed feather meal for finisher pig diets
(2008-05-15)
The objective of this study was to determine the possibility of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in pig diets completely with hydrolyzed feather meal (FM). Corn-SBM, finisher 1 and 2 positive control (PC) diets were formulated ...
Ammonium Thiosulfate and Potassium Thiosulfate as Potential Nitrification Inhibitors in Soils
(2024-03-12)
Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) can vary according to soil properties, precipitation, and
soil temperature. Nitrification inhibitors show potential to increase NUE by decreasing the
amount of N lost from leaching and ...
Amount and quality of supervision as moderating factors between couple therapeutic alliance and change in couple therapy
(2005-12-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to examine the moderating effect of quality and quantity of supervision on the relationship between couple therapeutic alliance and change in couple therapy. The sample is collected from ...
Amylin and pramlintide modulate γ-secretase activity and APP processing in lipid rafts
(2019-06-24)
The misfolded amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide is generated in higher amounts in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), making this peptide a clinical hallmark for AD. A major site to produce Aβ is the lipid rafts, which are integral part of the ...
Analog Computation of a High Frequency Exactly Solvable Chaotic Communications System Using State Variable Networks
(2015-05-18)
The design of a high frequency, chaotic oscillator and linear matched filter has been shown as a viable means of electronic communication. Although many chaotic systems are noted for complex or unpredictable behavior, a ...
Analysis and Control of Dynamical Systems with Quasi-Periodic Coefficients
(2019-05-08)
Parametrically excited linear systems with oscillatory coefficients have been generally modeled by Mathieu or Hill equations (periodic coefficients) because their stability and response can be determined by Floquét theory. ...
Analysis and Correction of Three-Dimensional Proximity Effect in Binary E-Beam Nano-Lithography
(2007-05-15)
One of the fundamental problems in transferring a circuit pattern onto a substrate using electron beam lithography is the proximity effect, which is due to electron scattering in the resist
and results in the ``non-ideal"" ...
Analysis and finite element approximation for nonlinear problems in poroelasticity and bioconvection
(2013-04-23)
This dissertation is concerned with nonlinear systems of partial differential equation with solution dependent physical coefficients satisfying the Nemytskii assumption. Such equations arise from two important application ...

(2011-07-18)
In order to ensure the proper operation of the embedded Block Random Access Memories (BRAMs) in Xilinx Virtex-5 Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) a dependable and resource efficient test is needed so that the integrity ...
Analysis and Improvement of Virtex-4 Block RAM Built-In Self-Test and Introduction to Virtex-5 Block RAM Built-In Self-Test
(2009-04-27)
A reliable method for testing embedded memories within Virtex-4 and Virtex-5 Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is needed by the current FPGA community. A method for testing the Virtex-4 embedded Block Random Access ...
Analysis and Optimal control of deterministic Vector-Borne diseases model
(2018-07-18)
In this dissertation, two systems of deterministic differential equations are introduced to study the transmission of vector-borne diseases between a host and a vector. The total population of the host and the vector are ...
Analysis and Optimization of Lithographic Performance on Massively-Parallel Electron-beam Systems
(2023-04-24)
While electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is widely used in transferring fine-feature patterns onto a substrate, its major drawback is the low throughput, especially for large-scale patterns. The massively-parallel electron-beam ...
Analysis and Optimization of Multilayered Airfield Pavement Resilience
(2021-04-02)
The overall objective of this research was to optimize the individual layers of a multilayered airfield pavement to make the pavement more resilient to blast and impact loadings when compared to a baseline rigid pavement. ...
