A Flash-based Current-steering Digital to Analog Converter
(2022-04-19)
We present a novel current-steering digital to analog converter (DAC) which utilizes flash transistors as programmable, tunable current sources. Our design achieves extremely low latency, area, and power, making it especially ...
Stability of Sumac (Rhus coriaria) Polyphenolic Extract during Simulated Gastrointestinal Digestion and Colonic Fermentation
(2022-04-11)
The effects of Sumac (Rhus coriaria) polyphenolic extract were evaluated against common pathogenic and probiotic bacteria. The bacteria were individually treated with free sumac (free Su) and encapsulated sumac (NPSu) ...
Plant-Associated Fungi Effects on Insect Herbivores and on a Predator
(2022-01-11)
This dissertation analyzed plant-associated fungal effects on two insect pests of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis grandis) and cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), as well as on the predatory ...
Randomized Functional Data Analysis and its Application in Astronomy
(2022-04-20)
Functional data analysis (FDA) methods have computational and theoretical appeals for some high dimensional data, but lack the scalability to modern large sample datasets. Covariance operators are fundamental concepts and ...
“The Southwest’s Heart Is No Longer for the Pioneer Alone”: Creating and Remembering Fred Harvey’s Invention of an Authentic Native American Experience in the Southwest
(2022-04-19)
This dissertation examines social change in the Southwest within the intersection of gender and “Indianness” in the tourism industry, through the lens of the Fred Harvey Company between the 1880s-1940s. Fred Harvey was an ...
Roles of Inositol-Requiring Enzyme 1 Alpha (IRE1α) in Odontogenesis
(2022-07-26)
Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) is highly expressed in odontoblasts that form dentin, and mutations in the DSPP gene are associated with dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI)/dentin dysplasia (DD), which are the most common ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Wind Turbine Performance and Wake Characteristics
(2023-08-08)
In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed for three wind tunnel experiments, i.e., the NREL S826 airfoil experiment, the NTNU BT1 experiment, and the NTNU BT2 experiment by using two in-house ...
Assessing the Impacts of Land Use Change on Mammals in a Social-Ecological System: Conservation Implications for Biodiversity and Livelihoods in Monteverde, Costa Rica
(2022-07-25)
Biodiversity decline is occurring at an unprecedented rate, with land-use change as a leading driver. Biodiversity loss reduces ecosystem functioning, which also negatively affects human societies whose livelihoods are ...
REPRESENTATION FOR A CHANGE: WOMEN IN GOVERNMENT AND THE CHICANA/O CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN TEXAS
(2020-07-21)
“Representation for a Change: Women in Government and the Chicana/o Civil Rights Movement in Texas,” links Chicana politics to American politics in the twentieth and twenty-first century. The story of Chicanas in the ...
Structural and Morphological Investigation of Carbon Based Materials for Electrochemical Applications
(2021-10-26)
Bio-derived carbon-based-supercapacitor electrodes present an economical solution as sustainable sources for energy storage. Serious knowledge gaps exist for bio-derived carbon electrodes in terms of causes of largely ...
