The Hijab and Muslim Women in a Western Society : Motivation, Modifications, and Well-being

Creator:: Maqsood, Elham Nour Ahmad
Abstract:: The primary purpose of the present study is to explore the effect of wearing the hijab in a Western society on Muslim women’s well-being, their motivation to wear it, and the different modifications that they have made on their hijabs. To investigate the relationship between the hijab and Muslim women’s...

Point Defects and Impurities Adapted Phonon Thermal Properties of Zirconium Diboride: It's Influence on Thermal Conductivity, Thermal Expansion and Specific Heat

Creator:: Ighere, Jude Ogheneyoreme
Abstract:: The study outlined in this dissertation elucidate the thermal and structural properties of ZrB2 based ceramics as choice materials for high temperature applications. Thermal properties were investigated to improve understanding on aspects that are affected by point defects and impurities at nanoscale and electron level using a combination of lattice...

Investigating the effects of temperature on secondary metabolism in Vitis vinifera L. cv. merlot berries

Creator:: Cohen, Seth D.
Abstract:: Grapes (e.g. Vitis vinifera L.) are one of the more important fruit crops from an economic standpoint with world market values over 550 million US dollars in 2007 and 2008, second to apples (United States Department of Agriculture). While a satisfactory level of ripeness is of primary concern, the quality...

The role of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals

Creator:: Harty, Tyson H.
Abstract:: Little, if any, quantifications have been made on the contribution of the vertebral column during jumping in quadrupedal mammals. Previous studies of jumpers have focused on the morphological and physiological specializations of the hindlimbs. In this study, such specialization was measured during the supramaximal jumps of the Pacific jumping mouse...

Designing Dielectric Materials through Complex Metal Oxides

Creator:: Nikkel, Jason W.
Abstract:: This dissertation demonstrated that the electrical properties of complex oxide-based perovskite materials could be controlled through the careful modification of both material composition and structure. This was first shown through the modification of lead zirconate titanate (Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3, PZT) solid solutions with bismuth indate (BiInO3, BI) where the relative stability of...

Engineering an Ex-Vivo System to Study Transport Phenomena in the Human Intervertebral Disc

Creator:: Shalash, Ward
Abstract:: Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, entailing a significant socioeconomic impact. A primary source of back pain can be attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration allowing nerve ingrowth, facet joint arthritis, disc bulging, and osteophyte formations that press on nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord. While...

Acute and delayed effects of an exhaustive bout of exercise on landing biomechanics in women and men

Creator:: Kipp, Kristof
Abstract:: Although female athletes are at greater risk of non-contact knee injuries than men, the factors that contribute to these injuries are not well understood. One important question is whether intense exercise influences the risk of knee injury, both acutely and over the following days. The purpose of this study was...

Machine Learning Applied to Non-periodic Event Detection – A Special Case in Structural Health Monitoring

Creator:: Hu, Congcong
Abstract:: Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is known as the process of implementation of damage detection and characterization strategy. The method is widely used in modern critical equipment to minimize the risk of failures. While a significant effort has been devoted by researchers for the detection of faults in situations including periodic...

Modeling, control, and estimation of flexible, aerodynamic structures

Creator:: Ray, Cody W.
Abstract:: Engineers have long been inspired by nature's flyers. Such animals navigate complex environments gracefully and efficiently by using a variety of evolutionary adaptations for high-performance flight. Biologists have discovered a variety of sensory adaptations that provide flow state feedback and allow flying animals to feel their way through flight. A...
