Iterated Monodromy Groups of Rational Mappings
(2018-07-20)
We give the wreath recursion presentations of iterated monodromy groups of post-critically
finite quadratic rational mappings fc whose ramification portrait are of the form
0 ↦ av2 ↦ … ↦ avm ↦1 ↦ ∞ ⇌ 1
To find a pattern ...
Imagining Global Female Futures in Black Speculative and Science Fiction
(2018-07-27)
The goal of this study stems from one primary question: how are black women’s futures currently being imagined in works of cultural production? In this dissertation, I make the case that speculative and science fiction is ...
Integrated Steam Reforming/Catalytic Combustion Annular Microchannel Reactor for Hydrogen Production
(2017-05-05)
The overall goal of this dissertation work is the development of an annular microchannel reactor (AMR) that couples methane steam reforming and catalytic combustion of methane to produce hydrogen and/or synthesis gas ...
ULTRASHORT-PULSE LASER TECHNIQUES FOR UNRAVELING CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROCESSES IN NEXT-GENERATION COMBUSTION SYSTEMS
(2018-07-27)
Ultrashort-pulse, femtosecond (fs)-duration laser techniques are powerful tools for investigating physical and chemical processes in reacting and non-reacting flow systems, providing data with high spatial and temporal ...
Host Defense Responses of Sorghum and Johnsongrass Against Colletotrichum sublineola and Identification of Candidate Defense Related Genes in Sorghum
(2020-03-11)
While sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench.) is the fifth most important cereal grown worldwide, johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L. Pers.) is a creeping perennial weed that interferes with crop productivity. Due to genetic ...
Developing Pavement-Safety Based Guidelines for Improving Horizontal Curve Safety
(2018-07-23)
Inadequate skid resistance on wet pavements, specifically on horizontal curves of rural highways, is responsible for vehicle crashes and fatalities. Several research projects have developed models that project the effect ...
High frequency continuous-time circuits and built-in-self-test using CMOS RMS detector
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The expanding wireless market has resulted in complex integrated transceivers
that involve RF, analog and mixed-signal circuits, resulting in expensive and complicated
testing. The most important challenges that test ...
The Effect of Changes in Teacher-student Relationship Quality on Students’ Trajectories for Internalizing Behaviors
(2015-06-08)
Internalizing problems are prevalent among school-aged children and have a significant negative impact on social and academic outcomes. Despite well-established evidence for the influence of teacher-student relationship ...
Lateral Capacity of Suction Caissons in Bilinear Soil System
(2018-07-24)
Suction caisson anchors have been proven as efficient and cost-effective foundations for offshore wind turbines. These anchors are subjected to lateral loads which are typical of offshore environment. Many efforts have ...
Bayesian Modeling of Plant Drought Resistance Pathway
(2018-07-31)
Plants are sessile organisms and are unable to relocate to favorable locations under extreme environmental conditions, and hence they have no choice but to acclimate and eventually adapt to the severe conditions to ensure ...
