The child development field has a relative lack of research considering the impact of child abuse and victimization from a developmental perspective, and even less research that examines the effects of multiple types of ...

Developmental Trajectories of Brain Structure, Motor, and Cognitive Functions from Infancy to Early Childhood and the Impact of SES

Montagner Sassi, Julia (2022-08-03)

During the first years of life, there are significant brain, cognitive, and motor development changes. Although studies have suggested a bidirectional relationship between the brain and these functional outcomes, few studies ...

Deviant Followers Across Cultures: An Investigation of Destructive Leadership, Workplace Deviance, and National Context

Alexander, Katherine Crawford (2021-07-15) ETD File Embargoed

Despite continued scholarly and practitioner interest in destructive leadership, the field has an incomplete understanding of the relationship between destructive leadership and followers’ workplace deviance, especially ...

Device Simulation of Density of Interface States of Temperature Dependent Carrier Concentration in 4H-SiC MOSFETs

Shih, Wei-Chung (2014-07-29)

Interface traps play an important role in the SiO2/4H-SiC interface. They are crucial issues for the current and trans-conductance in 4H-SiC MOSFET devices. In this thesis, we present a temperature and bias dependent ...

Devolution and Policy Change in the Gulf of Mexico: Red Snapper Management

Moorman, Thomas (2022-07-26)

In 2020, American states were given management authority for Lutjanus campechanus (northern red snapper) in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico through Amendment 50 to the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fishery Management Plan. This ...

The Devolution of Irish Masculinity in Twentieth Century Irish Drama: Representations of Manliness in the Plays of John Millington Synge, Sean O'Casey and Martin McDonagh

Jones, Elizabeth (2015-05-07)

This project argues that prominent playwrights John M. Synge, Sean O’Casey and Martin McDonagh who are either native Irish or self-identify as Irish reject the various versions of masculinity proposed by nationalistic ...

DevSecOps of Containerization

Cui, Pinchen (2020-08-03)

Containerization is a new concept of virtualization, one that has attracted attention and occupied considerable amount of market size due to its inherent lightweight characteristics. However, the lightweight advantage is ...

Dewatering Rock Crushing Fines Using Geotextile Tubes

Myers, William, Jr. (2010-01-06)

A study on dewatering rock crushing fines using geotextile tubes was conducted. The laboratory portion included rapid dewatering tests and hanging bag tests to evaluate the dewatering efficiencies of the geotextiles as ...

Hardin, Amie (2017-04-21)

Background Diabetes self-management education (DSME) and Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) improve patient outcomes; poor reimbursement limits access to care. Objectives The aim was to develop methodology for tracking ...

Diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis

Juan, Yen-Chen (2018-02-27)

Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a fatal immune-mediated disease, is caused by feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), the high-virulence pathotype of Feline coronavirus (FCoV). It is believed that the FIPV is an ...

Diagnostic Test Generation for Path Delay Faults in a Scan Circuit

Luo, Zeshi (2015-07-24)

With the increase of density, speed and test time of large VLSI circuits, man- ufacturers are eager to nd e cient ways to bring up yields. Often, VLSI testing only tells if a circuit is faulty but is unable to locate ...

Diagnostic Test Generation for Transition Delay Faults Using a Two-Timeframe ATPG Model
