Temporal and spatial variation in longleaf pine soil respiration and its heterotrophic and autotrophic components
(2015-05-07)
Soil respiration (Rs) is the sum efflux of CO2 from soil derived from the metabolic activity of autotrophs and heterotrophs in the litter layer, root-affected soil (rhizosphere), and bulk soil. Soil respiration exhibits ...
Temporal Awe: Designing for Succession and Emotion in Post-Industrial Landscapes
(2017-05-15)
This research-by-design thesis deals with the treatment of post-industrial sites in Landscape Architecture as spaces capable of bringing an emotional experience to visitors not typically seen within the urban fabric. As ...
Temporal Features of Voice in Connected Speech: Bioenergetic Implications
(2016-05-05)
Purpose: Translating exercise science methodology for determination of muscle bioenergetics, it was hypothesized that the temporal voice use patterns for classroom and music teachers would indicate a reliance on the immediate ...
The Temporal Patterning of Spontaneous High-Rate Behavior: An Evaluation of Bout Partitioning Methods for Behavior Under Neurotoxicant Challenge
(2015-01-07)
Across species, much free-operant behavior exhibits a temporal pattern characterized by bouts of activity and periods of disengagement. Analysis of interevent time distributions has been widely used to characterize bout ...
Temporally Specific Extinction of Pavlovian Conditioned Inhibition
(2009-08-04)
In Pavlovian conditioned inhibition, conditioned stimulus A (CS A) is trained to predict the occurrence of an unconditioned stimulus (US), but when CS A is presented in compound with CS C, the US is omitted. Thus, CS C ...
Tense, Aspect, and Mood in the Spanish of Southern Arizona
(2018-04-23)
In this study I analyze the use of the Spanish verbal system in the Heritage Spanish speakers of Southern Arizona across three sociolinguistic generations. By using 15 oral interviews from the Corpus of Spanish in Southern ...
Terminal Ballistics of Composite Panels and Verification of Finite Element Analysis
(2011-07-29)
Composite materials are becoming more prevalent in a wider range of applications due to the inherent advantages afforded by their strength to weight ratio over more traditional engineering materials such as metals. As such, ...
Terrain Characterization and Roughness Estimation for Simulation and Control of Unmanned Ground Vehicles
(2011-12-02)
This dissertation presents a methodology for generating artificial terrains for simulation of off-road vehicles. Furthermore it develops and evaluates methods for characterizing the terrain for the control of unmanned ...
Terrestrial adaptation: Expansion of myoglobin and up-regulation of hemoglobin genes in the walking catfish (Clarias batrachus)
(2017-07-07)
Walking catfish (Clarias batrachus), a freshwater fish capable of locomotion on land, serves as a great model for understanding adaptations to terrestrial life. Through comparative genome analysis, here I report that no ...
Terrestrial Carbon Dynamics of Southern United States in Response to Changes in Climate, Atmosphere, and Land-Use/Land Cover from 1895 to 2005
(2008-05-15)
Historical human activities and environmental changes have strongly modified the global carbon cycle, which can lead to both an energy shortage and environmental problems such as global warming due to elevated atmospheric ...
Terrestrial Investigation of Vapor Bubble Characteristics in Nucleate Pool Boiling of a Dielectric Fluid on an Asymmetric Microstructured Metal Heat Sink (Pre-cursor to Microgravity ISS Experiments)
(2020-07-08)
This experimental, terrestrial study is part of a larger effort to dissipate increased heat fluxes through enhanced pool boiling in spacecraft electronics prior to an extensive study to be conducted on the International ...
Terrorism's Effect on Tourism: Developed vs. Developing Countries
(2008-08-15)
This thesis studies the effect terrorism has on the tourism industry highlighting differences between developed and developing countries.
Test Methods and Reliability Modeling of Electronic Assemblies under High-G Shock
(2019-10-28)
Electronic systems and sub-assemblies undergo a myriad of stresses during operation in their lifetime. Electronics in consumer, aerospace and defense industries increasingly use commercial-off-the-shelf components in their ...

The purpose of the present study was to examine relationships between subtests from a recently revised measure of auditory processing, The Test of Auditory Processing Skills – Third Edition (TAPS-3) (Martin & Brownell, ...
A Test of Market Efficiency When Short Selling is Prohibited: A Case of the Dhaka Stock Exchange
(2015-12-08)
This study investigates the impact of an absence of short-selling practice on stock price efficiency in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE). I estimate the sign and magnitude of runs ranging from one-day to twenty-day-long runs ...
Test of the effects of geography, gear type, and culture techniques on Vibrio risks associated with farm-raised oysters
(2020-11-16)
During the off-bottom aquaculture growing process for the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, farmers routinely remove the oysters for tumbling and desiccation. These routine handling practices improve oyster quality ...
