Veronica Mars, a television series aired on the WB and CW networks from 2004-2007, presents a world in which violence and conspiracy abound. The series starts off with the conspiracy that has most closely touched Veronica’s ...

'That Minds Are Not Alike': Implications of Gendered Literacy and Education in Revolutionary America 

Pojasek, Melissa (2007-05-15)
In its most basic form, literacy is just a knowledge of letters; it was (and remains today) a basic goal of primary education. The early American educational system is intriguing because of its subtle ways of reinforcing ...

Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Strain in a Tire Under Static Loading and Steady-State Free-Rolling Conditions 

Krithivasan, Vijaykumar (2011-04-11)
This main objective of this work is to predict the operating conditions or the state of a tire based on a wireless sensor suit. First a three dimensional finite element model of a standard reference test tire (SRTT) was ...

Theoretical Investigation of Doped Silicon Nanomaterials Synthesis and Properties 

Choi, Yeseul (2019-07-16)
With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution and 5G technology era, demand for semiconducting chips is expected to increase explosively. Most semiconductor devices are produced through hundreds of stages of chemical ...

Theoretical investigations of small molecule adsorption on pristine, doped, and perforated graphene 

Li, Sicheng (2016-08-01)
Computational chemistry is a standard tool to understand chemical phenomena at the electronic and molecular levels, and is a rapidly growing branch of chemistry. In this thesis, three distinct computational chemistry ...

Theoretical Modeling and Lateral Load Testing of Driven Steel Pile Bridge Bents 

Skinner, Zachary (2019-01-09)
In this thesis, multiple lateral load tests on bridge bents were modeled and performed. FB Multipier models were created for eight load tests: four load tests conducted on a bridge bent under construction in an Alabama ...

Theoretical modeling combined with experimental spectroscopic measurements for the diagnosis of high-Z erosion and transport applications in plasmas 

Johnson, Curtis (2020-12-11)
Understanding plasma-material interaction (PMI) continues to be a challenge for future fusion reactors. High-Z materials (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) have emerged as leading solutions for plasma facing materials. Erosion ...

Theoretical Moment-Rotation Curve for Steel Piles Embedded in Concrete 

Hammett, Stephen (2017-07-31)
The accurate modelling and analysis of connections formed by embedding steel piles in concrete is a difficult undertaking that has only recently begun to receive attention in the research community. These connections are ...

Theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of sound transmission through a flat plate and a cylindrical shell 

Taha, Fatima E (2017-07-31)
Sound transmission through a flat plate and a cylindrical shell was studied both theoretically and experimentally. The theory consisted of using statistical energy analysis (SEA) to predict the transmission loss of each ...

Theoretical Study of Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions and Thermal Properties for Main-Group Oxides and Nitrides 

Xu, Bin (2009-08-03)
Main group nitrides and oxides are important solid compounds with applications in fields ranging from structural ceramics to catalysts and electronic materials. We have theoretically investigated the pressure-induced phase ...

Theoretical Study of Thermal Properties and Thermal Conductivities of Crystals 

Tang, Xiaoli (2008-08-15)
Standard first-principles total energy and force calculations were extended to the calculations of harmonic force constant matrices and third order lattice anharmonicity tensors with an efficient super-cell finite-difference ...

THEORY OF HIGH-DIMENSIONAL ℓ1-PENALIZED LOGISTIC REGRESSION 

Otubo, Emmanuel (2023-08-04)
n the setting where sample size n is sufficiently large relative to the number of features p, a classical result is that fitting a logistic model by means of maximum likelihood produces estimates that are approximately ...

Therapeutic Alliance and Outcomes: The Moderating Role of Therapist Sex 

Mauren, Elise (2013-07-10)
The purpose of the study was to explore the relationship between therapeutic alliance (between system and within system) and therapeutic outcomes (individual distress and relational satisfaction) for males and females. ...

Therapeutic Alliance as a Mediating Factor Between Couple Attachment and Therapeutic Outcome 

Whelchel, Holly (2005-08-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to examine how the therapeutic alliance mediates the relationship between the anxiety and avoidance dimensions on a couple attachment measure and subsequent relationship satisfaction scores. ...

Therapeutic Alliance as a Mediating Factor between Couple Expectancy and Therapeutic Outcome 

Gray, Mikael (2006-08-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to determine whether the therapeutic alliance mediated the relationship between couple expectancy for change and relationship satisfaction. The sample was comprised of 59 cases of males and ...

Therapeutic Contact Lenses for Comfort Molecules 

Ali, Maryam (2007-12-15)
