Determining How Composition Changes in the Sea Surface Microlayer Affect Cloud Formation
(2019-11-05)
The potential influence of marine phytoplankton on cloud formation has been debated for more than forty years and remains unresolved due to uncertainty in the relative contribution of marine organic matter to cloud droplet ...
Toward Point-of care Detection of Tuberculosis Using a Magnetic Cell Separation Microfluidic Platform
(2019-12-02)
Tuberculosis (TB) is a deadly disease that has claimed the lives of many across the world. According to the data from the Center for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC), one-fourth of the world's population was infected ...

(2019-04-03)
This dissertation is a critical comparative study of four distinguished cinematographic traditions, namely the USA, Spain, Mexico, and India, where their respective societies, politics, histories, and cultures form the ...
Characterizing Ice Cloud Particle Shape and Surface Roughness from Polarimetric Satellite Observations
(2018-06-08)
The single scattering properties of ice cloud particles are inferred from spaceborne multi-angle satellite sensors with two newly developed noise-resilient retrieval techniques. The first presented method parameterizes the ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition Manipulation on Mares and Their Foals
(2013-03-14)
Previous research documented the fetus is sensitive to nutrition of the dam, but this has not been thoroughly investigated in horses. Objectives of the current studies were to determine effect of manipulation of maternal ...
Rousseau against Republicanisms: Political Community and Human Order at the Edge of a Tradition
(2017-04-27)
Over the past few decades, scholarship in political theory as well as in intellectual history has shown a growing interest in civic republicanism, a theory of politics with ancient lineages, which might offer new ways to ...
Kinetic Modeling of the Hydrocracking of Fused-Ring Di-Aromatic Species
(2015-01-16)
The derivation of kinetic models for the development and simulation of hydrocarbon processes require detailed information on the reaction network. In the present work, experiments on the hydrocracking of fused-ring species, ...
The Distribution of the Triplet Reflector in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico as Observed on High-Resolution Subbottom Profiles
(2018-04-13)
A regionally persistent sequence of closely spaced, parallel reflectors known as the Triplet was studied using high-resolution profile data and sediment core data collected throughout the slope of the Gulf of Mexico. When ...
