Silver(I) and Copper(I) Complexes from Homoleptic to Heteroleptic: Synthesis, Structure and Characterization

Description: A plethora of novel scientific phenomena and practical applications, such as solid-state molecular solar cells and other optoelectronic devices for energy harvesting and lighting technologies, have catalyzed us to synthesize novel compounds with tunable properties. Synthetic routes, single crystal structures, and spectral and materials properties are described. Reactions of Ag(I) and Cu(I) precursors with various types of ligands -- including the azolates, diimines, and diiphosphines -- le… more

Application of Genetic Algorithm in Designing Matching and Decoupling Networks for Asymmetric Two-Element Antenna Arrays

Description: In this thesis, I demonstrate a genetic-algorithm-based optimization method for designing matching and decoupling networks (MDNs) for asymmetric two-element antenna arrays. The proposed method considers practical aspects in MDN realization by accounting for short pieces of transmission lines between the lumped elements and only using capacitor/inductor values from a predefined database of commercially available lumped component values. In addition, the proposed algorithm is able to explore all … more

Development of a Multidimensional Measure of Vaping Dependence

Description: Currently, there is no comprehensive instrument that accounts for all the proposed aspects of vaping dependence simultaneously, nor do current instruments routinely account for factors that may be more unique to vaping dependence. Therefore, the current study addresses these concerns by developing a new multidimensional self-report instrument of vaping dependence. Using guidance from the literature together with expert recommendations, an initial item pool was generated and evaluated. Participa… more

Point of Departure: A Method for Teaching Improvisation Using Four-Mallet Marimba Literature for the High School Percussionist

Description: This dissertation introduces a method of melodic improvisation that is designed for the high school percussionist. Teaching improvisation to the modern music student can be challenging, as the concept of creating music spontaneously is unfamiliar to the typical music student. While improvisation techniques exist within jazz education, some students are overwhelmed by the complex harmony and sheer amount of study and practice that is required to improvise within the style of jazz. This dissertat… more

Establishing Social Stimuli as a Conditioned Reinforcer in Children with Autism

Description: Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by social-communicative deficits that impair important areas of functioning. Behavior analytic interventions frequently focus on providing support and enhancing social-communicative behavior in individuals with ASD. As part of these interventions, conditioning procedures are often implemented to establish social stimuli as reinforcers and promote skill acquisition. The current study systematically replicated and extend… more

Hungers and Desires: Excavating and Creating Queer Food Histories on the Borderlands

Description: Hungers and Desires: Excavating and Creating Queer Food Histories on the Borderlands creates a conversation between queer studies and food studies. It is divided into two parts, (I) Excavating and (II) Creating, each representing an engagement with historical methods. First, it offers a framework for reading food practices in the field of LGBTQ history, and queer studies, more broadly. Then, it excavates past food practices hidden within the LGBTQ archives in El Paso, Texas and applies the fram… more

Assessment of Climate Change Impacts in Birendra Glacial Lake, Nepal

Description: This study was done on 86 images from Landsat 5 and 8 from the years 1990 to 2023, and emphasized the spatial change of Birendra Lake. The Otsu method was used on the normalized difference water index (NDWI), modified normalized difference water index 1 and 2 (MNDWI), and automated water extraction index (AWEI) for this study. The area of Birendra Glacial Lake area grew significantly between 1990 and 2023 (94,500 m2 to 222,300 m2) because of climate change. The mean annual temperature was incr… more

Development of GelMA-Alginate IPN Hydrogel for Establishing an In Vitro Osteoarthritis Model to Screen MMP-13 Inhibitors

Description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by irreversible cartilage degradation. MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) inhibitors represent a new approach to slowing OA progression by addressing cartilage degradation mechanisms. However, the success of preclinical studies failed to be translated into clinical application. One of the possible reasons is that the disease models in preclinical study can't reflect the biological complexity of human disease. Hydrogel-based cartilage cons… more

Achieving Greater Tornado Resilience: Investigating Perceptions of Anchoring Systems among Mobile/Manufactured Homeowners

Description: Changing weather patterns have led to an increase in the frequency of tornadoes in the socially vulnerable southeast United States. This is concerning to manufactured and mobile homeowners, as these structures are highly vulnerable to tornado impacts. In recent years, the installation of ground anchors on manufactured and mobile homes (MMHs) has emerged as a strategy to mitigate against risks posed by tornadoes and high winds. Although these systems decrease horizontal movement and rollover pot… more

Scale Invariant Equations and Their Modified EM Algorithm for Estimating a Two-Component Mixture Model

Description: In this work, we propose a novel two-component mixture model: the first component is the three-parameter generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD), and the second is a new three-parameter family of positive densities on the real line. The novelty of our mixture model is that we allow the two components to have totally different parametric families of distributions with asymmetric tails of the mixture density. We extend the scale invariant variable fractional moments (SIVFM) method proposed by Son… more

Diversity Patterns of Tardigrade Assemblages in Forested Landscape of Southern Chile: Associations and Biogeographical Implications

Description: In the Neotropical realm, little is yet known about the distribution, ecology, and biodiversity of limno-terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are understudied micrometazoans and, in Chile, their biogeography and the variables that are associated with their diversity have never been recorded. This study proposes to examine the assemblages (composition and abundance) of tardigrades in forests throughout southern Chile and relate the patterns found to latitude, altitude, temperature, precipitation… more
