(2022-07-26)This dissertation introduces three essays on the effects of various public policies on labor, education, earnings, and crime outcomes using quasi-experimental research designs. In the first essay, “Legal Access to ...
-
(2022-08-08)The estimation of Pressure-Volume-Temperature (or PVT) properties is an extremely important aspect of oil and gas exploration and production as the parameters derived from these functions are used for reserve estimations, ...
-
(2022-07-27)The compressive deformation behavior of unirradiated depleted gamma phase uranium metal was investigated in support of new metal fueled fast reactor designs. Extended core residence times have raised questions about long ...
-
(2022-07-27)Self-control failure is all too common. Research has found that people become less likely to engage self-control after expending self-control on a prior task. Theories of self-control have surmised that this disengagement ...
-
(2022-07-29)As an integral component of the Earth system, the exchange of momentum at air-sea interface plays an important role in connecting the ocean and atmosphere. Thus, the parameterization for air-sea fluxes is essential for ...
-
(2022-07-28)We compute the second moment of Dirichlet L-functions along a coset at the central point, achieving an asymptotic result in the q-aspect.
-
(2022-08-01)Secure multi-party computation (MPC) is one of the most important and fundamental problems in distributed computing. MPC allows a set of parties to compute an arbitrary function of their (potentially private) inputs in a ...
-
(2022-07-28)Fungi can be found everywhere in natural and domestic environments and their effects on human activity are numerous and vary widely. Fungi have been used to produce foods, beverages, biofuels, household items, biocatalysts, ...
-
(2022-08-09)Crapemyrtle (Lagerstroemia sp.) is the best-selling flowering tree and provides excellent pollen sources for pollinators in the U.S., especially when other resources are naturally scarce. However, the market’s most ...
-
(2022-07-28)Polyacrylonitrile based electrospun carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were used as a resistive type gas sensor to detect the adsorption of NO₂ gas. In an attempt to enhance the sensitivity CNFs to NO₂ for use in non-destructive ...
-
(2022-07-08)Sensory feedback is critical in the body’s effort to maintain balance while walking or standing. Deficits in balance due to age or medical conditions are common and may lead to falls and injury in those with reduced or ...
-
(2022-08-03)Thrust collars (TCs) are widely used in turbomachinery such as integrally geared compressors (IGCs), gearboxes, and vehicle transmissions to transmit axial loads to a central shaft. The loading and speed capacity of TCs ...
-
(2022-07-25)Beef retail steaks were sampled at stores across eleven U.S. cities, and beef foodservice steaks were purchased from six U.S. cities. Cities were chosen to represent a broad geographical range and upholding their historical ...
-
(2022-07-27)This dissertation has combined observations from four Slocum glider missions in the deep Gulf of Mexico to quantify the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation rates (ϵ) and diffusive mixing processes in the basin. The ...
