(2015)
The scope of this research is intended to examine the effects of colonization underthe two dominant empires of France and Great Britain over their former African colonies.Through this thesis, I will attempt to answer the ...
A Synthetic Route to Polymeric Carbohelicenes and Cyclic Derivatives
(2014)
The King group's interest is in the synthesis of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) for their wide range of applications in materials, electronics, and mechanical properties. The primary focus of my own synthetic ...
A Cost-Effective, High-Performance and Bioinspired Pulse Sensor for Quantitative Assessment of Arterial Stiffness
(2018)
In clinical medicine, a wave of blood flow produced by the heartbeat is propagated by the elastic and muscular fibers of the arteries as the wave passes. These waves of pressure can be detected as pulses in arteries close ...

(2016)
The Flow state is a psychological phenomenon that appears in athletes and other who are
performing. The psychological state is known as a state of concentration or complete absorption
with the activity at hand and the ...
The Effects of Pile Burning and Charcoal on Carbon and Nitrogen Transformations in Eastern Sierra Nevadan Forested Soils
(2016)
Over a century of fire prevention and suppression in the western United States has led to overstocked and diseased forests with increased fuel loading and vertical continuity of fuels, thus increasing the risk of severe ...

Laser-based method for black carbon determination in lake sediment cores and black carbon deposition in Greenland since 300 CE
(2016)
Black carbon (BC) is a conservative tracer for industrial combustion and open biomass burning that has a significant contribution to Earth’s radiative budget. Because BC is a dark, light-absorbing particle, BC is estimated ...
Evaluation of Site Response Analysis Programs in Predicting Nonlinear Soil Response Using Geotechnical Downhole Array Data
(2015)
Abstract: Liquefaction is a state of soil in which soil starts to behave as a fluid. This happens when the pore pressure rises up and it can’t get dissipated as fast as it is rising up during the earthquake. Trying to ...
Valuation of Objects Versus Images: The Extent to which Real Object Displays Influence Consumer Decision Making
(2015)
Recent research has shown that behavioral and brain responses are different for real objects
versus pictures of the same items. This project tests whether the display format (real objects
versus images) in which foods ...
