Superconducting Resonators on Thin Film Flexible Substrates
(2016-12-09)
In cryogenic electronics applications and experiments, i.e., for cold detectors and low temperature quantum computing, the base temperature is typically below 100 milli-Kelvin. In order to reach this temperature range, a ...
Effect of substratum topography on algal turf colonization and productivity under different nutrient conditions
(2016-07-28)
Algae can act as a promising source for biofuel production, pollution recovery from natural waters and nutrient recovery from wastewaters. Typical algae cultivation involves algae in the suspended form, and separation ...
Characterization of the gut and skin microbiomes of wild-caught fishes from Lake Guntersville, Alabama
(2016-07-29)
In recent years, a paradigm shift has occurred in the area of organismal health. Where Koch and Hill’s fundamental postulates equating to “one microbe—one disease” were once regarded as the rule, research has now shifted ...
Acculturation and Perceived Family Support: Influences on Coping Among Asian American College Students
(2016-12-09)
Acculturation among Asian Americans has become an increasingly important construct for researchers and professionals in psychology, particularly for the college-aged population. Acculturation has been studied extensively ...
Laser Field Interactions with Atoms and Molecules
(2016-12-09)
This dissertation explores multiple areas of laser matter interactions.
It studies four main topics: multi-photon (few photon) double ionization of He, double photoionization of He-like systems
from level resolved ...
Microfluidic Interfacing for Primary Endocrine Tissue: Developing Bioanalytical Methodologies and Novel Fabrication Methods for Cell Culture and Analysis
(2016-12-09)
In order to bridge the gap between microfluidic designs and real world applications, microanalysis systems were developed using minimalistic design attributes which could be readily paired with compatible bioanalytical ...
Control of Sawtooth Oscillation Dynamics using Externally Applied Stellarator Transform
(2016-12-09)
The control of sawtooth oscillations is an active area of tokamak research. The sawtooth oscillation is driven by ohmic heating of the core plasma until the safety factor drops below one triggering the growth of an m=n=1 ...
Broaching Style and Multicultural Counseling Competence Explored in the Context of Sexual Orientation
(2016-04-26)
The present study explored counselors-in-training (CITs) and their self-perceived competency in their work with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients along with their perception of broaching behaviors with this population. ...
Phospho-silicate glass as gate dielectric in 4H-SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor devices
(2016-07-28)
Silicon carbide (SiC) based MOS devices are well suited to meet the need for energy efficient power electronics. For 4H-SiC MOSFET technology, one of the crucial challenges is to improve the quality of SiO2/SiC interface, ...
Modelling, Control and Estimation Techniques For Micromachined Electrostatic Actuators Using Macro Magnetic Actuators
(2016-07-29)
Parallel plate actuators (PPAs) are fundamental devices in micro-electro-mechanical systems. PPAs' main drawback is their limited open loop stable traveling range which is caused by their nonlinear electrostatic force. ...
