  • Copper and iron chalcogenides for efficient solar absorption

    Creator:
    Platt, Heather A. S.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation outlines two approaches for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of photovoltaic energy generation. First, the structures of known binary copper and iron compounds are used to choose the promising compositions Fe₂XS₄ (X = Si, Ge), Cu₃TaQ₄ (Q = Se, Te), and BaCuQ'F (Q' = S, Se,...

    Creator:
    Loiselle, Sierra
    Abstract:
    Previous research has shown that women are increasingly sexualized in a variety of media contexts. I conducted a content analysis of film trailers from 2018 and 2019 to examine the relationship between the sexualization and objectification of female-presenting characters to the popularity of the film and its trailer. A random...

  • When she was bad : framing female killers in contemporary film

    Creator:
    Finch, Kurstin
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an analysis of seventeen contemporary blockbuster films in which women kill people. The purpose of the analysis is to discover the "frames" with which film producers, directors, scriptwriters and actors portray women in film. The thesis first establishes the model in use in the analysis: Entman's model...

  • Communicating oceanographic research through film : the role of film in helping scientists develop and meet their broader impacts goals

    Creator:
    Madlener, Saskia D.
    Abstract:
    Funding agencies, specifically the National Science Foundation (NSF), are placing particular emphasis on the societal relevance and broader applications of scientific research, otherwise known as Broader Impacts (BIs). Scientists are required to address the BIs merit review criterion in their research proposals or they will not get funded. However, many...

  • Re-viewing the canon : using film and critical pedagogy in the standards-based classroom

    Creator:
    Divelbiss, John D.
    Abstract:
    This thesis analyzes the efficacy of emancipatory (critical) pedagogical practices in an educational climate of standards-based reform. Using two films noir of the blacklist era--Body and Soul and Crossfire--as the core texts of a unit in a secondary school curriculum, I argue that an emphasis on student agency and a...

  • Optimization of Pulsed Laser Deposited Piezoelectric Thin Films for Microelectromechanical Systems

    Creator:
    Kearney, Dylan R.
    Abstract:
    Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is well known to exhibit some of the strongest piezoelectric responses, explaining why it is at the heart of piezoelectric-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) research. The use of pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to synthesize PZT offers many advantages over alternative deposition techniques, mainly regarding its ability to...

    Creator:
    Evans, Nicolas M. J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In...

  • Characterization and Investigations of Thin-Film Materials with X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Diulus, J. Trey
    Abstract:
    Surface characterization of materials is widely utilized over a range of disciplines and essential to the development of new materials, technology, or processes. Metal oxide nanoclusters have shown promise as potential new generation photoresist materials for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) nanolithography. Organotin clusters have been proposed as potential candidates for resist...
