Towards the first galaxies
(2006-08)We find that at redshifts z [greater than or similar to] 10, HD line cooling allows strongly-shocked primordial gas to cool to the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). This temperature is the minimum value ... -
(Im)pure thoughts : rethinking women's ritual and physical impurity
(2006-05)Cursed. Polluted. At times demonic, often ill and aberrant. Across time and space, political lines and religious traditions, menstruating women have been and are today described in these and myriad other ways. Almost ... -
Modeling and optimizing network infrastructure for autonomous vehicles
(2017-03-24)Autonomous vehicle (AV) technology has matured sufficiently to be in testing on public roads. However, traffic models of AVs are still in development. Most previous work has studied AV technologies in micro-simulation. The ... -
Iyer Laboratory: Gel-free Library Preparation Protocol
(2017-06-21)Originally developed by Amelia Weber Hall in October 2012, then modified to avoid usage of silica gel columns to improve yield. Used for preparing libraries of DNA derived from chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments ... -
Assessing sample size and mobility limits for a two-level multiple membership random effects model
(2017-02-07)The purpose of the present study was to examine the minimal sample sizes and mobility rates needed for accurate estimation with the multiple-membership random effects model (MM-REM), and the conditions in which the MM-REM ... -
The study of renewable content in retail electricity portfolios and the effect on consumers’ choices
(2017-05-05)This report focuses on the renewable plans in retail electricity markets. The integration of renewable energy into power grid enable renewables to play an increasingly important role in the electricity market. Consumers’ ... -
Using far-field measurements for determining mixed-mode interactions at interfaces
(2017-06-20)Traction–separation relations (TSR) can be used to represent the interactions at a bimaterial interface during fracture and adhesion. The goal of this work is to develop a direct method to extract mixed-mode TSRs using ... -
Experimental and analytical investigation of panel zone behavior in steel moment frames
(2017-05-03)Steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) are one of the most commonly used lateral force resisting system for steel building construction located in regions of high seismic risk. Although steel moment frames were studied ... -
Life on foot : an investigation of pedestrian life in everyday urban space
(2017-05-02)Exploring pedestrian life in the drab, suburban fringe of Austin, Texas this master’s thesis aims to understand where and how people walk in an environment that does not seem to encourage it. Inspired by the literature of ... -
Mutual exclusivity : the role of the speaker's referential intent
(2006-08)Previous research has suggested that young children are equipped with mechanisms that aid in the acquisition of language. One of these mechanisms is the Mutual Exclusivity Constraint, which is an expectation that every ...
