Atmospheric Particles and Their Effects on Climate and Health
(2020-11-09)
Aerosol particles have important effects on our world. In the context of the biosphere, aerosols contribute to air pollution and also influence human health. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to viral ...
Kinetic Model of Perfluoroalkyl Substances Removal from Environmental Matrices Via Electron Beam Irradiation
(2020-11-27)
Per- and polyfluorylalkyl substances (PFASs) products, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), were widely produced in the industry and commercial products. They were detected in natural ...
Numerical modeling on scratch and mar induced damages in polymeric systems
(2020-11-24)
The barrel mar behavior, scratch induced delamination, and temperature-dependent scratch behavior were investigated in this dissertation via FEM modeling. The experimental tests were carried out according to ASTM/ISO ...
Functional and Evolutionary Dynamics of Genes Involved in Drought Tolerance in Loblolly Pine (Pinus Taeda L.)
(2020-12-03)
Drought, a major threat to the health and productivity of both natural ecosystems and agriculture, is expected to increase in frequency and intensity across many regions as a consequence of climate change and repurposing ...
The Crosslinguistic and Intralinguistic Factors that Affect the English Spelling Outcomes of Young Spanish Speaking Bilinguals
(2020-11-11)
Very little research has focused on what language skills might impact English language learners’ early writing development, specifically their English spelling skills. The purpose of this study is to examine how phonological ...
Thermoreflectance Imaging and Light Field Projection/Photolithography
(2020-09-30)
Thermoreflectance (TR) imaging is a nonintrusive temperature measurement method which can obtain temperature distribution on target surface with high spatial and temperature resolution. Three-dimensional (3D) TR imaging ...
Digital heritage documentation of structures at the Maya sites of Birds of Paradise - North and Tz'unun in Belize
(2020-03-03)
Digital documentation of structures continued at Tz’unun with a brief operation at Birds of Paradise – North. The bulk of the data collected during the field season occurred during sessions 1-3 and focused on multi-image ...
On Partially-averaged Navier-Stokes Turbulence Closures: Improved Near-Wall Strategies and Characterization of Three-Dimensional Wakes
(2021-04-27)
Challenges in turbulence modeling are often associated with a trade-off between accuracy of flow physics and computational effort. For complex industry-relevant flows, high computational costs require engineers to adopt ...
Scratch and Mechanical Behaviors of Polyrotaxane-Modified Poly(methyl methacrylate)
(2021-04-09)
The susceptibility of polymers to surface damage like scratch significantly limits their use in applications where both surface structural integrity and aesthetics are important. The present study employs a standardized ...
Wellsprings of Bureaucratic Collaboration: Identity, Trust, and Agency Performance in Colombia
(2021-04-22)
The literature on collaborative public management has focused on studying how public servants create collaborative structures in their workplaces to achieve organizational goals. The emphasis of these studies has been on ...
