True Random Number Generation from a High Frequency Chaotic Jerk Circuit
(2019-12-05)
Shown in this work is a method for true random number generation by directly sampling
a high frequency chaotic jerk circuit. A method for determination of the maximum Lyapunov
exponent, and thus the maximum bit rate for ...
True Three-Dimensional Proximity Effect Correction in Electron-beam Lithography: Control of Critical Dimension and Sidewall Shape
(2013-04-23)
One of the major limiting factors in electron-beam (e-beam) lithography is the geometric distortion of written features due to electron scattering, i.e., proximity effect, which puts a fundamental limit on the minimum ...
Trust and Distrust in Conversational AI Agents: The Effects of Agent Interaction Style and User Information Need
(2022-08-15)
Conversational agents (CAs) with artificial intelligence (AI) are computer programs with the ability to interpret and respond to users’ natural language and communicate with the users as humans would do with another human. ...
Trust in Dating Relationships: The Role of Communal Orientation
(2006-12-15)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between communal orientation and trust in recently established dating relationships. We expected that the degree to which one’s partner was perceived to have a ...
Trusted, Third-Party Authenticated, Quantum Key Distribution
(2016-08-05)
This dissertation presents an algorithm that provides a way of establishing trust and authentication. The protocol negotiates a key using extensions to QKD algorithms that include non-repudiation and endpoint verification ...
Truth and Method on Black Mountain: The Hermeneutic Stances of Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan
(2007-12-15)
This dissertation examines the poetry and poetics of three poets (Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, and Robert Duncan) who taught at Black Mountain College, an experimental art school, in the 1950s. It examines these poets’ ...
The Truth is Online: Digital Reality and Remediating The X-Files
(2009-05-01)
In my MA thesis, I argue that the remediation of cultural artifacts enables users of web 2.0 technologies to redefine their interactive experiences with mass media and to blur the line between digital and real. My research ...
Tufted Lovegrass (Eragrostis pectinacea) and Doveweed (Murdannia nudiflora) Control in Warm-Season Turfgrasses.
(2008-08-15)
Tufted lovegrass has been identified as a problem weed in sod production in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and Alabama, particularly in zoysiagrass. The slow growth rate of zoysiagrass is suspected to be a ...
