This paper explores the mutual constitution between language, thought, and culture within the context of Tibetan honorifics. I employ Van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis to argue that changes in honorific usage pre- and post-Chinese occupation reflect and reify changes in ideology and culture within Tibetan communities. Analyzing usage patterns and...
College students have reported increased levels of financial difficulties in the past decade and are working part or full time to afford tuition and cost of living. I explored the factors associated with working students' experiences of stress, also testing if they experience more stress than non-working students, and if...
A major challenge in ecology is disentangling interactions of non-native, potentially invasive species on native species. Conditional two-species occupancy models examine the effects of dominant species (e.g., non-native) on subordinate species (e.g., native) while considering the possibility that occupancy of one species may affect occupancy and/ or detection of the...

In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the
critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins
by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary
calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...
Combustion emissions produced from burning real transportation fuels have many environmental impacts. However, detailed chemistry across multiple phases, time scales, and thermodynamic conditions make predicting combustion emissions challenging. Detailed modeling of the gas phase alone is prohibitively expensive, due to the large size and stiffness of the kinetic models. The...
