(2011-04-16)Department: Electrical EngineeringHigh confidence embedded control system software often requires formal analyses to ensure design correctness. Detailed models cover numerous design concerns such as controller stability, timing requirements, fault tolerance, ...
-
(2016-10-11)Department: Electrical EngineeringCyber-physical systems are complex engineering systems that integrate computational, communication, and control components with physical components in many applications such as automotive systems, aeronautical systems, ...
-
(2023-03-10)Department: Electrical EngineeringOptical metasurfaces, based on subwavelength structuring, offer a compact platform for manipulation of the amplitude, phase and polarization state of light. Independent control over these properties, however, is hindered ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2009-03-01)Teaching reading comprehension is vitally important to students understanding that reading is a meaning making process. Unfortunately, a review of many teachers' reading comprehension instruction shows that no instruction ...
-
(2017-03-16)Department: Biomedical InformaticsThe spatial distribution of genetic variation within proteins is shaped by evolutionary constraint and thus can provide insights into the functional importance of protein regions and the potential pathogenicity of protein ...
-
(2020-04-02)Department: EpidemiologyHigh prevalence of dyslipidemia in the United States results in elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. Identifying genetic factors associated with serum lipid regulation may improve treatment and prevention of cardiovascular ...
-
(2021-02-22)Department: MathematicsIn modern digital systems, the efficient representation of data becomes an important consideration. The encoding and decoding process of digital signals can be computationally expensive and can often induce significant ...
-
(2018)These files consist of topographic profile data, images from an acoustic hillslope experiment, and python codes to read the data and analyze the Fourier transforms of the profiles. There are four folders containing ...

(2016-06-30)Department: HistoryThis dissertation examines the battle between various ideas—psychiatric and feminist in particular—surrounding sexual violence in the 1980s. Women’s advocates worked tirelessly in the 1980s to redefine rape as an act of ...
-
(Vanderbilt University. Peabody College, 2018-04)There has been considerable published research concerning the marginalized experiences of racial minorities and women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). However, the experiences of ...
-
(2008-04-18)Department: ChemistryThe cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme catalyzes the bis-dioxygenation and cyclization of arachidonic acid to form prostaglandin H2, the common precursor of bioactive prostaglandins. The genome codes two 60% sequence-identical ...
-
(2014-04-27)Department: PhysicsThe systematic investigation of susceptibility-induced contrast in MRI is important to improve our understanding of the influence of tissue microstructure on dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRI derived perfusion data. ...
-
(2016-04-07)Department: ChemistryComputational design of protein-ligand interfaces expands understanding of the basic forces involved in molecular recognition, and also contributes to the development of protein therapeutics. My dissertation research ...
