(2007-08)“Who says what to whom and of what consequence?” is a fundamentally communicative question. This dissertation provides answers to this question by examining receivers’ expectations about, perceptions of, and responses to, ... -
Expecting epiphany : performative ritual and Roman cultural space
(2011-05)When ancient people entered a temple or other sacred space, how did the art and architecture of the site work upon their senses as mediators of divine presence? This thesis demonstrates that the ancient perception of the ... -
Experience and mate choice in sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna)
(2014-05)Learning and experience shape mate preferences in many species. My thesis investigates the role of experience on mating behavior of male and female sailfin mollies (Poecilia latipinna). In the first chapter I explore whether ... -
The experience of absorption : comparison of the mental processes of meditation between emic yogic and etic neuroscientific perspectives on Ishvara Pranidhana meditation
(2010-05)Modernity has seen the exchange of ideas about cognition between western science and eastern meditation traditions. In particular, western ways of thinking about the natural world have infiltrated Indian theories of yoga. ... -
The experience of African American parents with the special education system : a review of literature
(2015-05)This study is a review of literature on the experiences of African American parents of children with disabilities in the special education system. The reviewed works span between 1990 and 2014, and the purpose of the review ... -
Experience-dependent neuroplasticity in the perilesion cortex after focal cortical infarcts in rats
(2007-12)The leading cause of long-term disability among adults in industrialized countries is stroke. Exploration of the brain mechanisms involved during recovery from stroke is likely to yield information that can be used to ... -
Experiences and engagement levels of entering community college students and returning students
(2008-12)In order to explore the differences in engagement levels between entering and returning community college students, the researcher analyzed 13,300 surveys from the 2007 Survey of Entering Student Engagement (SENSE) pilot ... -
Experiences of resilience and adversity in rowing : a grounded theory
(2015-05)Objective: Psychological resilience has been studied in the context of childhood and adolescent athletes and in elite athletes. Therefore a gap has formed in the part of the athlete population referred to as non-elite ... -
Experiences of rupture
(2005)I am interested in a mode of inquiry that reveals existing conditions to people through direct experience of an artifact or phenomena. My work ranges from objects, to overt experience, to the documentation of observed ... -
Experiencing crisis in schools : examining preservice teachers' reflections on September 11 and their notions of citizenship
(2012-05)Teachers and children who were in schools on September 11, 2001 harbor unique, personal, and accessible memories of the events that occurred that Tuesday morning. Educational research has attended to this (inter)national ... -
Experiencing violence : children and the marginalized urban space of the Brazilian favela
(2012-08)This research examines the transformations occurring in children and youth’s identity narratives as they engage dialectically with the recent public narratives of social and political inclusion. Employing children’s ... -

Experiment to measure the electron electric dipole moment using laser cooled Cs atoms
(2013-05)This thesis describes the physics, design, and construction of an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the electron. In the experiment, laser-cooled Cs atoms will be held in an optical dipole force ... -
Experimental analysis and computational simulation of unilateral transtibial amputee walking to evaluate prosthetic device design characteristics and amputee gait mechanics
(2010-05)Over one million amputees are living in the United States with major lower limb loss (Ziegler-Graham et al. 2008). Lower limb amputation leads to the functional loss of the ankle plantar flexor muscles, which are important ... -
Experimental analysis and modeling of perfluorocarbon transport in the vadose zone : implications for monitoring CO₂ leakage at CCS sites
(2013-05)Perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs) are commonly proposed tracers for use in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) leak detection and vadose zone monitoring programs. Tracers are co-injected with supercritical CO₂ and monitored ... -
Experimental analysis of electrostatic and hydrodynamic forces affecting nanoparticle retention in porous media
(2012-05)There have been significant advances in the research of nanoparticle technologies for formation evaluation and reservoir engineering operations. The target applications require a variety of different retention characteristics ... -
Experimental analysis of evaporation driven emulsion flow in porous media
(2013-05)In some configurations of compact, biofilm based photobioreactors, algae grow on a porous substrate that acts as the support system for the cells providing them with the necessary water and nutrients as well as carrying ... -
Experimental and computational characterization of strong vent flow enclosure fires
(2011-08)Firefighters often arrive at structures in which the state of fire progression can be described as ventilation-controlled or under-ventilated. This means that inside the enclosure the pyrolyzed fuel has consumed most, if ... -
Experimental and computational investigation of film cooling on a large scale C3X turbine vane including conjugate effects
(2012-12)This study focused on the improvement of film cooling for gas turbine vanes using both computational and experimental techniques. The experimental component used a matched Biot number model to measure scaled surface ...
