(2008-04-23)Department: Electrical EngineeringDynamic logic circuitry is generally faster and smaller than equivalent static logic circuits. The use of these circuits in space is desirable, but not much work has been performed in assessing their vulnerability to the ...
-
(2006-09-01)Department: Electrical EngineeringThe amount of charge required to represent a logic state in CMOS digital circuits has been reduced dramatically with the scaling of supply voltage and nodal capacitances, making radiation-induced single event effects ...
-
(2011-04-18)Department: Electrical EngineeringDepression is a potentially life threatening mood disorder which affects many people. Two thirds of the people with depression don‟t realize that depression is a treatable illness, only 50% of people diagnosed with major ...
-
(2014-03-29)Department: Electrical EngineeringPatients who are diagnosed with depression without appropriate clinical recognition of their hidden suicidal tendencies are at elevated risk of making suicide attempts. An important clinical problem remains the differentiation ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2019)Neuroimaging studies have suggested a difference in structural brain connectivity in depression. Recently, structural brain connectivity and psychopathology have been studied using graph theory analysis, which provides ...
-
(2015-07-20)Department: PhysicsIn this dissertation I present several different but related analyses of structure on both Galactic and extragalactic scales. I first investigate whether measurements of the moments of large-scale structure can yield ...
-
(2021-03-22)Department: Biomedical EngineeringTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epilepsy, a debilitating disease that affects 50 million people globally. In TLE, seizure onset is typically localized to an epileptogenic zone (EZ) in the mesial ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2017-05)The Tennessee Charter School Center (TCSC) formed in 2013 through the merger of the Tennessee Charter School Incubator and the Tennessee Charter Schools Association. The TCSC combines the functions and resources of ...

(2008-11-07)Department: PhysicsUsing data collected by the FOCUS experiment at Fermilab, we present a new measurement of the charm semileptonic branching ratio BR(D^+ -> rho^0 mu^+ nu)/BR(D^+ -> K*0Bar mu^+ nu). From a sample of 320 +- 44 and 11372 +- ...
-
(2020-04-03)Department: Microbe-Host InteractionsMosquito inoculation of humans with arthritogenic alphaviruses results in a febrile syndrome characterized by debilitating musculoskeletal pain and arthritis. Despite an expanding global disease burden, no approved therapies ...
-
(2010-12-04)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyThis project is concerned with understanding the role of the mRNA-binding protein Nab2 in the process of nuclear mRNA export. In this dissertation I characterize changes that occur to Nab2’s structure and localization ...

(2022-10-17)Department: Chemical & Physical BiologyThe inositol 1,4,5triphosphate (IP3) receptor (IP3R) mediates Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to control cytoplasmic and organellar Ca2+ concentrations. IP3Rs are co-activated by IP3 and Ca2+, inhibited ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2010-01-05)The zodiac, a pagan symbol believed to have originated in 7th century BCE Babylonia, appears in the floor mosaics of numerous synagogue ruins through the Palestine region, including one found in a fifth century synagogue ...
-
(2006-12-21)Department: Electrical EngineeringTotal ionizing dose effects in a low-dropout voltage regulator are explained based on experimental data and circuit simulations. Transistor gain degradation is shown to be the dominant cause of the circuit degradation at ...
-
(2012-04-13)Department: Nursing ScienceWhile researchers have found written emotional disclosure to be beneficial for psychological health, physical health, and overall functioning in certain populations, no one has definitively ascertained how or why this ...
-
(2010-08-13)Department: Biological SciencesMyotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is an autosomal dominant human disease caused by the expansion of a tetranucleotide repeat in the first intron of the ZNF9 gene. While multiple studies link nucleotide expansions such as ...
-
(2021-04)Importance: Although prior research has documented higher rates of incarceration among sexual minorities, little research has examined the intersections of the justice-involved and sexual minority populations. Research is ...
-
(2006-07-21)Department: PhysicsSince September 11, 2001, the safety and security of the U.S. nuclear reactor complex has become a topic of controversy. Due to the safety features afforded to reactor vessels, most experts agree that the focus should be ...
