Evaluating Aspects of Healthcare Delivery in the U.S. Military: Medical Separations, Mental Health Utilization, and Primary Care Appointment Availability
(2015-10-05)
This dissertation examines how access to care is changing in today’s military and how these changes impact various populations. Three topics are examined, which cover pre-existing personality disorder discharges, mental ...
Contribution to the Study of Fracture in Amorphous Polymers: Experiments and Modeling
(2011-02-22)
Glassy polymers are extensively used to make all kinds of structural components.
Polymers, such as epoxies, are often chosen as matrices in polymer matrix composites
(PMC). Ever since the 1960s, these types of composites ...
Application of History Matching Quality Index with Moving Linear Regression Analysis
(2015-09-29)
History Matching is the process of calibrating uncertain parameters of a reservoir model in order to reach the best plausible match with the observed data. By integrating the dynamic data of a reservoir, the reservoir ...

(2012-10-19)
Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain B728a (P.s.s. B728a) is an economically significant plant pathogen that is capable of successful epiphytic colonization of leaf surfaces. Although the virulence factors associated ...
Activation of Carbon Oxides: Chemical Reactions and Transformations Facilitated by Groups 6, 7, & 8 Metal Complexes
(2015-09-23)
Small molecules carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced via the oxidation and partial oxidation of carbonaceous matter, respectively, have distinct chemical functions and reactivity. A fairly stable species and a ...
Improvements to the Calculation of Indirect Signals of Diffuse Gamma-rays and Neutrinos from Dark Matter Annihilation
(2012-10-19)
A new formalism is presented for calculating the mean intensity spectrum and angular power spectrum of gamma-rays or neutrinos from extragalactic annihilating dark matter, taking into account the dependence of the relative ...
The Use of Soluble Polyolefins as Supports for Transition Metal Catalysts
(2012-10-19)
The use of polymer supports for transition metal catalysts are very important and useful in synthetic organic chemistry as they make possible the separation and isolation of catalysts and products quite easy. These ...
