(2017-07-11)Department: Special EducationImpulsivity may be conceptualized as the choice of a smaller, sooner reward (SSR) at the cost of a larger reward available after a delay. Progressive delay training (PDT) has been used to teach people with a variety of ...
-
(Frontiers in Pyhsiology, 2019-08-23)Orthostatic intolerance commonly occurs after prolonged bed rest, thus increasing the risk of syncope and falls. Baroreflex-mediated adjustments of heart rate and sympathetic vasomotor activity (muscle sympathetic nerve ...
-
(2015-07-01)Department: Electrical EngineeringHigh frequency RF and microwave communications systems for military, space, and telecommunications applications require efficient power amplifiers with high power density. Gallium nitride high electron mobility transistors ...
-
(American Criminal Law Review, 1994)In "Powers v. Ohio," the Court held that a peremptory challenge based on race violates the equal protection right of the challenged veniremember not to have her opportunities for jury service determined by her skin color. ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2016-04-26)Historically, optimism has been studied as a dichotomous variable. However, research has found that there are two types of optimists: cautious/realistic and unrealistic/cockeyed. A cautious/realistic optimist is defined ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2009-04-12)Research in the anxiety disorders has shown that safety behaviors function to maintain pathological anxiety by preventing the disconfirmation of inaccurate threat beliefs. The present study examined if such safety behaviors ...
-
(2006-03-27)Department: EconomicsA criminal case is disposed by a series of selection processes – the prosecutor’s indictment, the defendant’s plea choice, and the judge’s or jury’s trial verdict. This study examines how each selection process shapes the ...
-
(2009-02-16)Department: Electrical EngineeringSub-100 nm technologies are more vulnerable than older technologies to single event effects (SEE) due to Moore's Law scaling trend. The increased SEE vulnerability has been attributed to the decrease in nodal charge for ...
-
(Vanderbilt University, 2018-04-18)The purpose of the study was to analyze the different contexts in which the social sharing of emotion occurs and the comparative benefits associated with two different contexts of emotion sharing. Previous research has ...
-
(2015-08-03)Department: PsychologyIndividuals with schizophrenia (SZ) have been shown to exhibit deficits in detecting human agents against background noise, such that the signal-to-noise ratio of biological motion perception is significantly reduced. Such ...
-
(2009-04-22)Department: Earth and Environmental SciencesThis study examines how coupled geomorphic and biologic processes influence the potential for hillslope soils to store organic carbon. A mass-balance model of soil organic carbon on hillslopes is developed by combining ...
-
(2017-11-20)Department: PsychologyThrough reaching out, grasping, and playing with objects, infants can learn how to interact efficiently and effectively with their surroundings as well as learn about causality, the contingency between their actions and ...
-
(2022-03-24)Department: PhysicsVanadium dioxide (VO2) is an exemplary phase-transition material due to its insulator-to-metal transition, which boasts sharp changes in its lattice vectors (~1%), electrical resistivity (~5 orders of magnitude), and optical ...
-
(2015-03-25)Department: ChemistryThe surface chemistry of nanocrystals of different semiconductor materials is characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the charge carrier dynamics of graded alloy quantum dots are investigated. The ...
-
(2011-02-15)Department: Special EducationTest accessibility is defined as the extent to which a test and its constituent item set permits the test-taker to demonstrate his or her knowledge of the target construct. The proposed study used a 2 x 4 experimental ...
