Hall, Rebecca J (2024-05-02) ETD File Embargoed

Objectives/Hypothesis: The primary goal of this investigation was to characterize the effect of the first-generation, over-the-counter antihistamine, Chlor-Trimeton on laryngeal structure and function. Study Design: ...

First-principles Theoretical Study of Lattice Thermal Conductivity of Crystals and Earth Minerals at High Temperatures and Pressures

Ntam, Moses (2013-03-20)

The focus of this dissertation is the first-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity, a non-equilibrium thermal transport property, for a wide range of solid materials including both ideal crystals and iron ...

Fiscal Policy and the Growth of Foreign Direct Investment in Sub-saharan Africa (Selected Countries: Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa)

Bello, Joshua (2005-12-15)

This study evaluates the impacts of fiscal policy on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) region, focusing on the selected countries of Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa. The study further ...

Fischer Tropsch Catalyst Structures & Process Design for JP-5 Fuel Integrated with MFEC

Dokun, Tunde B. A. (2010-05-11)

Modern societies are seeking new sources and corresponding technology as traditional fossil fuels are becoming more difficult to access because of their remote locations. A potentially attractive solution is to convert ...

Fish Kill Loss Valuation through Estimation of Angling Effort and Use Valuation on Three Mid-Size Alabama Rivers

Carson, Phil (2022-07-25)

State fisheries management agencies seek financial restitution following a fish kill. Economic losses due to fish kills on rivers have been underestimated in Alabama, as user loss values have not been included as a loss ...

Fish Meal Replacement in Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) Reared in Green Water Systems

Amaya, Rojas (2006-08-15)

A series of experimental studies were conducted with Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, to evaluate the use of plant protein sources as replacement ingredients for fish meal in commercially manufactured diets for ...

Fitness strategies of fastidious prokaryotes

Merfa e Silva, Marcus Vinicius (2021-12-01)

Fastidious prokaryotes are slow-growing bacteria that either require specific media to grow or are not able to grow axenically. ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CLas) and Xylella fastidiosa are important fastidious ...

The Five Modes of Caring Student Index

Patton, Mary (2016-12-09)

The purpose of the study was to examine the five modes of caring for students. Using Gary Chapman’s (1992) five love languages and additional work by Noddings (1984) and Gilligan (1982), the researcher designed a study ...

Fix, Flee, or Fan the Flames? An Attributional Investigation of Relational Responses to Coworker Incivility

Carson, Jack Emery (2020-04-30) ETD File Embargoed

Workplace incivility, which is low-intensity interpersonal mistreatment with ambiguous intent, is increasingly prevalent in today’s organizations. The ambiguous intent that characterizes incivility suggests attributions ...

Fixed Points and Periodic Points of Orientation Reversing Planar Homeomorphisms

Boronski, Jan P. (2010-07-20)

Topological dynamics on surfaces is studied. The primary objects of study are orientation reversing homeomorphisms of the plane, but most of the results apply also to the orientation reversing homeomorphisms of the 2-sphere. ...

Flannery O'Connor and Mid-Century America

Grant, Virginia (2014-12-12)

Though the fiction of Flannery O'Connor has most often been studied from theological or psychological perspectives, her work is deeply entrenched in, and reflective of, the culture of the mid-twentieth-century United States. ...

A Flexible Model for Multi-agent Based Simulation of Software Development Process

Agarwal, Ravikant (2007-12-15)

Inadequate use of project management techniques in software development can be traced to the lack of efficient education strategies for managers. Software development processes are complex and therefore it is hard to predict ...

Flexible Nonvolatile Cu/CuxO/Ag ReRAM Fabricated Using Ink-Jet Printing Technology

Zou, Simin (2014-05-01)

The design and fabrication of flexible Cu/CuxO/Ag ReRAM devices is presented in this work. We have investigated Cu/CuxO/Ag capacitor-like structure which exhibits bipolar resistive switching behavior under low-range direct ...

Flexible Superconducting Microwave Interconnects and Connectors

Zou, Simin (2018-04-29)

One of the major limitations to constructing densely-integrated cryogenic electronic systems is the electrical interconnect technology. Superconducting cables with multiple signals, high signal density, low loss, low thermal ...

Flexible, Ultra-Thin, Embedded Die Packaging

McPherson, Ryan (2010-10-26)

As thin, flexible electronics solutions become more robust, their integration into everyday life becomes more likely. With possible applications in wearable electronics, biomedical sensors, or ‘peel and stick’ sensors, the ...
