Acoustic Metamaterials: Air Permeable Super Sound Attenuators and Acoustic Metalenses
(2019-07-23)
In recent decades, acoustic metamaterials have become more practical for diverse applications of sound manipulation, rather than academic curiosities and theoretical derivations. This kind of artificial material demonstrates ...
Computational and Experimental Investigation of Oil Separation from an Oil-Water Two-Phase Pipe Flow and Its Accumulation in a Subsea Dead-Leg
(2019-07-23)
Both 2- and 3-dimensional transient computational studies of two-phase turbulent flow within a horizontal channel/pipe with a vertical capped dead-leg placed downstream of an oil/water supply source simulating parts of a ...
Effects of repeated exposure to graphic suicide news articles on explicit and implicit measures of suicide risk
(2019-07-23)
Existing observational research suggests that following media portrayal of a suicide, there
is an increase in imitative suicidal behaviors (e.g., Gould, 2001; Pirkis & Blood, 2001; Stack,
2005). Despite a plethora of ...
Empowering Community Pharmacists to Prevent Opioid Overdose Deaths: A Mixed Methods Study Exploring Implementation of Community Pharmacy-Based Naloxone Services
(2019-07-23)
Background and Significance: Given the rising problem of prescription drug abuse and high number of opioid-related deaths annually in the United States, mechanisms to distribute naloxone are sorely needed. Community ...
Connecting in a digital world: How information and communication technologies shape the leader-subordinate experience
(2019-07-23)
The present study investigated how the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) impacts leader-member exchange (LMX) quality and its resulting organizational outcomes. The primary hypothesis of interest was ...
Physical Fatigue at Work: Prevalence and Interventions
(2019-07-23)
Advanced manufacturing has resulted in significant changes on the shop-floor, influencing
work demands and the working environment. The corresponding safety-related impacts, including
fatigue, have not been fully captured ...
Modeling Complex Climate Change Effects on Fluctuating Populations of Fish Communities in the Northern Pacific Ocean
(2019-07-23)
The main purpose of this study was to bring new mathematical and statistical methods to the ecological community and highlight novel application of these methods to practical scientific questions. Deepwater marine systems ...
Sediment and Nutrient Transport Through a Reservoir Sequence Along a Large River System
(2019-07-23)
Reservoirs are depositional environments for suspended sediments in river systems. Due to sediments undergoing fallout in low-flow areas, reservoirs contain 26% of all sediment and 12% of global river phosphorus behind ...
Is the Continuity of Care for Comorbidities among Breast Cancer Patients Related to Treatment Adherence and Survival Outcomes?
(2019-07-23)
Background: Breast cancer patients with comorbidities need to see multiple healthcare providers. These patients often need to take multiple medications, have frequent health care service utilization and high costs, and ...
Developing Nucleic Acid-Based Tools for Precision Medicine
(2019-07-23)
Nucleic acid aptamers are new therapeutic tools that are growing in use in the bionanotechnology field. Understanding their behavior and engineering their structure is desirable for many applications due to unique advantages ...
List-Edge Coloring Planar Graphs with Bounded Maximum Degree
(2019-07-23)
In this thesis we prove that triangulations of maximum degree 5 are 6-list-edge-colorable. We also find necessary conditions for maximum degree to extend a list-edge-precoloring to E(G) for a planar graph G. The techniques ...
Linking Observed Seismicity to Crustal Structure in the New Madrid Seismic Zone Using Gravity and Magnetic Modeling
(2019-07-23)
The New Madrid Seismic Zone in the Central United States is a highly active seismic zone. Research has focused on the subsurface structure and history of development in order to gain better insight into the cause of these ...
