(2012-12-26)Department: HistoryThis project examines attempts to study and define public opinion in postwar Germany by two institutions: the Frankfurt School and the Allensbach Institute. I show how opinion researchers responded to theoretical frameworks ...
-
(2008-04-21)Department: Computer ScienceFault diagnosis is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of complex engineering systems. Many present-day systems combine physical and computational processes, and are best modeled as hybrid systems, where the dynamic ...
-
(2006-12-04)Department: Mechanical EngineeringAn experimental analysis of a novel two-dimensional lid-driven cavity flow is presented. The system that is developed and tested contains six movable boundary sections that can be driven in pairs to generate complex flow ...
-
(2021-05-12)Department: SociologyOver the past few decades, multiple actors, including clinicians, researchers, activists, intersex adults, and parents of intersex children, have engaged in debates over what intersex is and how—or whether—it should be ...
-
(2008-02-11)Department: Electrical EngineeringSingle-event transients (SETs) due to terrestrial or space radiation exposure have become a growing concern in modern high-speed analog and mixed-signal electronics. Recent work with computer circuit-level simulation ...
-
(2016-07-06)Department: Electrical EngineeringCubeSats have become an attractive platform for university-based spacecraft designs because they are cheaper and quicker to launch than full-scale satellites. One way of keeping costs for CubeSats low is using commercial ...
-
(2019-07-22)Department: Electrical EngineeringA radiation-hardened by design (RHBD) D flip-flop is presented that demonstrates a tolerance to radiation induced single-event upsets while maintaining desirable electrical performance characteristics over a wide range of ...
-
(2011-08-04)Department: PhilosophyMy dissertation tackles the question of how to theorize the democratic commitment that collective decisions must accommodate the voices and interests of those subject to them. The rigorous demands of this democratic ...
-
(2009-07-20)Department: Computer ScienceTraffic signals provide the key mechanism to regulate traffic, and promote safe and efficient traffic flow at intersections. However, incidents of red light running can compromise the safety of the system. Research shows ...
-
(2014-11-26)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyMitotic kinesins represent the new age targets of spindle-poisoning chemotherapies. The kinesin-5 Eg5 is one such example, as kinesin-5 inhibitors (K5Is) induce a lethal mitotic arrest from failed spindle assembly. ...
-
(2024-02-06)Department: Civil EngineeringCyber-physical systems (CPS) are engineered systems in which the computational components and physical components of the system are interdependent and deeply linked. Discovery and development of CPS technologies are changing ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2008)We introduce a perfect price discriminating (PPD) mechanism for allocation problems with private information. A PPD mechanism treats a seller, for example, as a perfect price discriminating monopolist who faces a price ...
-
(2013-07-01)Department: Electrical EngineeringIn recent years, more and more efforts have been put on creating robots that operate in domestic environments. A robotic simulation environment for testing, developing and deploying motion planning is extremely necessary ...
-
(2014-04-17)Department: NeuroscienceBoth dopamine and glutamate are critically involved in cognitive processes such as working memory. Evidence has demonstrated that manipulation of either neurotransmitter can lead to alterations in the other. Astrocytes, ...
-
(2014-06-20)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyMicrotubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) are a specialized group of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that preferentially localize to microtubule (MT) plus-ends. This unique localization is thought to be due to ...
-
(2013-06-28)Department: Cancer BiologyStromal-epithelial interactions are important in both prostate development and cancer. Stromal changes have been shown to be powerful prognostic indicators of prostate cancer progression and of patient death helping to ...
-
(2014-08-28)Department: NeuroscienceThe p75 Neurotrophin Receptor (p75NTR) is a critical regulator of axon pruning and apoptosis during neurodevelopment. Because the receptor has also been associated with many injurious or pathological conditions involving ...
-
(2011-08-16)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyEvaluation of late events in cardiovascular development is precluded mid-gestational embryonic lethality associated with most traditional endothelial specific gene knockouts. Thus, it has not been possible to study late ...
