Camp in Literary Modernism : Reading the Performance of Gender and Race
(2021-04-29)This dissertation investigates the literary style of four modernists—Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and Mae West—in terms of camp. As Susan Sontag suggests in her essay about camp, the concept is ... -
Can Social Diorganization Theory Explain Violent Crime in Seoul, South Korea?: A Longitudinal Cross-Cultural Examination
(2018-05)A large body of work has applied social disorganization theory to crime in Western cultures, but minimal research examines how the theory operates within Eastern cultures. This study seeks to fill this gap through an ... -
Capacity Fade Estimation for Li-ion Battery Packs
(2017-12)As the electric vehicle market is growing at a rapid pace, the need for accurate state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH) estimation of the battery pack is required. Moreover, the battery management system should be ... -
Carbon Nanotube Sheet Synthesis in Nitrogen Environment and Flexible CNT Sheet Strain Sensor
(2021-05-04)This thesis focuses on the potential of mass-production of spin-capable carbon nanotubes (SCNTs), which produce carbon nanotube sheets (CNTSs). A CNT forest (CNTF) that satisfies the specific conditions, such as CNT diameter, ... -
Carbonate Alteration of Ophiolitic Rocks : Sources of Fluids, Conditions of Alteration, and Element Mobility
(2020-05)Ultramafic portions of ophiolitic sequences commonly show evidence of carbonate alteration reflecting geological process with implications including carbon sequestration, fluxing of CO₂ to the Earth’s atmosphere, the ... -
Carrot or Stick? Examining the Effect of Judicial Independence and Repression on Authoritarian Regime Stability and Leader Survival
(2020-04-08)This dissertation examines the effects that two different strategies, “carrots” and “sticks” respectively, have on authoritarian regime stability and survival. First, the argument is made against the use of repression ... -
Catalase Immobilization in Wrinkled Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
(2018-05)Wrinkled mesoporous silica (WMS) has been shown to be a promising material for enzyme immobilization. The WMS possesses a unique wrinkled structure with conical shaped pores which radiate from the center to the surface ... -
Categorizing the Security and Privacy of "Internet of Things" Devices
(2018-05)Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming an important part of our daily lives. In this thesis, we analyze the security and privacy risks of IoT devices in Smart Homes Hubs, the intersection of our daily lives and ... -
CEO Pay Disparity and Firm Value
(2019-05)Prior studies have reported mixed results with regard to the effect of CEO pay disparity on firm value. While one stream of studies provide evidence that, based on tournament theory, a higher wage difference between CEOs ... -
Characterization and Modeling of Mechanical Behavior of Polymers and Composites at Small Scales by Nanoindentation
(2017-05)Polymer has been used extensively for the final MEMS structures or devices. In order to ensure the design reliability, it is critical to precisely determine the mechanical properties of the polymer-based electronic packaging ... -
Characterization of Bold Variability Across the Adult Lifespan : Influence of Dopamine and Structural Integrity
(2020-04-07)Recent empirical work examining the influence of age on BOLD variability, much of which employed age-group comparison methods, has yielded mixed results. Critically, the current work utilized a lifespan sample of 171 healthy ... -
