LEED and STM studies of rutile (1x1) and (1x2) TiO2(110).
(2016-04-20)
The structures and properties of rutile (1x1) and (1x2) TiO2(110) surfaces are studied using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). For (1x1) TiO2, LEED analysis shows common ...
Religion and interracial marriage.
(2015-07-24)
The history of racial intermarriage in the United States intersects with its religious history. Religious people, beliefs and institutions have both supported and opposed social and legal boundaries regarding the marriage ...
Design and synthesis of small-molecule inhibitors of cathepsin L bearing the thiosemicarbazone warhead as potential anti-metastatic agents.
(2015-11-18)
Mestastasis is a devastating component associated with tumor progression which claims the majority of lives lost to cancer. Upregulation of cathepsin L, a powerful cysteine protease capable of degrading components in the ...
Animals now and then.
(2018-01-12)

(2015-07-30)
This thesis will argue that although much has been written about Charles Darwin, his religion has often been misrepresented or oversimplified into a linear trend of secularization leading to atheism. Instead, I will argue ...
Analysis of behavioral indicators as a measure of satiation.
(2015-07-16)
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the scientific study of behavior that utilizes procedures aimed at improving socially significant behavior, relying heavily on the use of reinforcement, which increases the future frequency ...
The design of small propellers operating at low Reynolds numbers and associated experimental evaluation.
(2015-07-29)
Small-scale Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) are becoming increasingly important in the field of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. As the desire for higher payloads and longer flight times increases, so does ...
Genomic analysis of the diapause program in the West Nile virus vector Culex pipiens.
(2015-11-04)
The Culex pipiens complex of mosquitoes is a major vector for several pathogens responsible for infectious human diseases including West Nile virus in North America. With the growth of the American population, the prevalence ...
Investigations in blastoid phylogenetics, speciation, and the sedimentology of an echinoderm-defined stratotype.
(2015-11-17)
This dissertation addresses questions on blastoid (Deltoblastus) speciation and phylogeny, as well as investigation the sedimentology of an echinoderm-defined (Marsupites) stratotype. Deltoblastus is a genus of Permian ...
Applied forensic investigation of elevated arsenic levels in the Central Texas Trinity Aquifer system.
(2015-07-22)
A recent change in EPA regulation lowered the maximum contaminate limit (MCL) of arsenic in drinking water from 50 to 10 μg/l. Lowering the MCL has put numerous water systems in Texas over the limit. An arsenic “hot spot” ...
