Examining the Perceptions of Pre-Service Teachers Enrolled in a Community College
(2019-03-12)
.
This multiple-article dissertation examined the perceptions of preservice teachers (PTs) enrolled at a community college. The first study was mixed-methods and examined the perceptions of PTs’ teaching efficacy at a ...
Shaping Functional Gut Microbiota Using Dietary Bioactives to Reduce Colon Cancer Risk
(2019-01-02)
Alterations in gut microbiota and metabolome occur during colon carcinogenesis and metabolic syndrome, but these changes may be reduced by exposure to bioactive compounds in foods. We hypothesized that bioactive compound-rich ...
Identification, Distribution and Control of an Invasive Pest Ant, Paratrechina sp. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), in Texas
(2010-01-16)
Invasive species are capable of causing considerable damage to natural ecosystems, agricultures and economies throughout the world. These invasive species must be identified and adequate control measures should be investigated ...
Mechanistic Studies of Radical SAM Enzymes in Cystobactamid, Anaerobilin and Thiamin Biosynthesis
(2019-03-13)
The radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes represent a large class
enzyme that catalyzes a wide range of reactions, including chemically challenging
reactions in critical pathways across all domains of life. Work ...
Research on Diplatinum Polyyne Complexes: Atropisomerism and Bottom-Up Syntheses of Graphene
(2017-02-17)
Major objectives of this dissertation pay attention to synthesis, probe the feasibility of a new type of inorganic atropisomerism of diplatinum ethynediyl and butadiynediyl complexes, and explore the feasibility of Diels-Alder ...
Small Engine Flash Vapor JP-8 Fuel Injector Testing, Simulation and Development
(2014-12-15)
Following U.S. Army’s single fuel initiative, Wankel rotary engines used in U.S. Army’s shadow unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) need to be retrofitted from running on aviation gasoline (AVGAS) to JP-8. The feasibility of ...
Distributed IC Power Delivery: Stability-Constrained Design Optimization and Workload-Aware Power Management
(2019-01-02)
ABSTRACT
Power delivery presents key design challenges in today’s systems ranging from high performance micro-processors to mobile systems-on-a-chips (SoCs). A robust power delivery system is essential to ensure reliable ...
Essays on the Behavioral Economics of Discrimination and Stereotypes
(2019-04-08)
While there are people who gain success in life without many complications, there are many others those who struggle and must overcome challenges in order to succeed. In these three chapters, I use experimental methods to ...
High Performance Loop Filter Design for Continuous-time Sigma-delta ADC
(2014-11-12)
Continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta (ΣΔ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are widely used in wireless transceiver. Loop filter becomes a critical component in the implementation of high resolution large bandwidth CT ΣΔ ADC ...
Investigating The Level of Application/Education of Passive/Natural Systems in the Design of Sustainable Buildings in the US
(2019-04-05)
The purpose of this research is to examine the degree of adoption and education of the concepts of natural systems for heating, cooling, and lighting (i.e., passive systems) versus artificial/mechanical systems (i.e., ...
