Kaija Saariaho's path to the met: the merger of conventional and unconventional musical devices in L'amour de Loin

Prickett, Amy (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

On December 1, 2016, the Metropolitan Opera presented Kaija Saariaho’s L’Amour de Loin, the Met’s second production of a work by a female composer, and the first since Ethyl Smyth’s Der Wald in 1903. Although opera companies ...
Kalman based sensor fusion using images and mechanical sensors

Merritt, Glen (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020-12)

Common user control interfaces are exemplified by translations of user interaction into an unnatural medium, such as joystick controllers or vehicle controls. These devices require experience to use properly, limiting user ...
KamLAND Sensitivity to Neutrinos from Pre-Supernova Stars

Piepke, Andreas (2016-02-10)

In the late stages of nuclear burning for massive stars (M > 8 M⊙), the production of neutrino–antineutrino pairs through various processes becomes the dominant stellar cooling mechanism. As the star evolves, the energy ...
Kendred Spirits: an Autoethnographic Account of Composing Closeness Between Bars

Kidd, Briana Gilbert (University of Alabama Libraries, 2021)

The purpose of this dissertation is to share an ongoing story of reflection, Love, and growth as acts of creative resistance. Since 2013, my life has been animated by Love for secondary students whose stories continue to ...
Kernel-based specification testing with skewed and heavy-tailed data

Sheehan, Alice (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

In this work, we revisit some of the most common nonparametric specification tests and assess their robustness to real world economic data. Most nonparametric econometric theory is based on a compact support assumption of ...
KIC 11911480: the Second ZZ Ceti in the Kepler Field

Greiss, S.; Gänsicke, B. T.; Hermes, J. J.; Steeghs, D.; Koester, D.; Ramsay, G.; Barclay, T.; Townsley, D. M. (2014)
Kids these days: political knowledge, young people, and the internet

Starling, Anderson Milton (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

In order for Americans to fully and effectively participate in their government, they must be adequately informed and knowledgeable about the policies, people, and processes therein. Prior literature has shown that those ...
Kindred ambivalence: art and the adult-child dynamic in America's Cold War

Marberry, Michael Odell (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

The pervasive ideological dimension of the Cold War resulted in an extremely ambivalent period in U.S. history, marked by complex and conflicting feelings. Nowhere is this ambivalence more clearly seen than in the American ...
Kinect-based object reconstruction

Price, Andrew R. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2012)

The Microsoft Kinect has recently grown to prominence as a widely used 3D sensor for both academics and hobbyists alike. This thesis presents a Kinect-oriented framework for reproducing physical objects using open or closed ...
Kinematic analysis of the southern Funeral Mountains: implications for Cenozoic extensional tectonics

Lutz, Brandon Michael (University of Alabama Libraries, 2013)

Map-view area balance of extensional strain in the west-central Basin and Range indicates that the area has undergone 250-300 km of upper crustal extension. Consistent 25-30 km moho depth across the area suggests that the ...
Kinematic and flexural isostasy modeling in central nepal: using erosional, depositional, and cooling histories to validate a balanced cross section

Olree, Elizabeth (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Balanced cross sections present valid and admissible interpretations of surface and subsurface data. Thermochronologic and foreland basin provenance data are other aspects that must be adhered to when producing balanced ...
Kinematic evolution of the Büyük Menderes Graben in Western Turkey inferred from 2-d seismic interpretation and cross section restoration

Merey, Osman (University of Alabama Libraries, 2016)

The Alaşehir and Büyük Menderes Grabens are two major E-W trending grabens that border the central part of the Menderes Metamorphic Core Complex (MMCC) to the north and south, respectively. These two grabens were previously ...
The Kinematically Measured Pattern Speeds of NGC 2523 and NGC 4245

Truethardt, P.; Buta, R.; Salo, H.; Laurikainen, E. (American Astronomical Society, 2007-07-26)

We have applied the Tremaine-Weinberg continuity equation method to derive the bar pattern speed in the SB(r)b galaxy NGC 2523 and the SB(r)0/a galaxy NGC 4245 using the calcium triplet absorption lines. These galaxies ...
Kinetic and Hydrodynamic Simulations of Laser Ablation and Plasma Plume Expansion Induced by Bursts of Short Laser Pulses

Ranjbar, Omid A. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2020)

Ablation of materials by nanosecond laser pulses involves expansion of a laser-induced vapor plume into a background gas. The absorption of the incident laser radiation by the plume can substantially decrease the amount ...
Kinetic Model of a Collisional Admixture in Dusty Gas and its Application to Calculating Flow Past Bodies

Volkov, Alexey N.; Tsirkunov, Yury M. (2000)

Using the methods of statistical physics, the basic kinetic equation describing the dynamics of a polydisperse admixture of solid particles in a dilute dusty-gas flow is derived. Particle rotation, inelastic collisions, ...
Kinetic Simulations of Thermal Escape from a Single Component Atmosphere

Volkov, Alexey N.; Tucker, Orenthal J.; Erwin, Justin T.; Johnson, Robert E. (2011-06-06)
Kinetic studies of anode materials for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)

Das, Rupak (University of Alabama Libraries, 2013)

Planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were designed, fabricated, characterized and optimized in order to a) Develop a Nickel-free anode for SOFCs, b) Increase the total electrical conductivity of the crack-free composite ...
King of America

Rutherford, Curtis Lance (University of Alabama Libraries, 2011)

This is a collection of poetry and prose by Curtis Rutherford. The majority of this manuscript was written between April 2010 and February 2011.
King's return to the Mall: public memory and the rhetoric of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial

Walker, Jefferson Douglas Greene (University of Alabama Libraries, 2013)

In recent years many scholars have taken up the rhetorical study of sites of memory, observing how museums, memorials, and other commemorative sites function to cultivate public memory. This study situates itself in this ...
Knowledge and attitudes toward HIV/AIDS and HIV law among probationers and parolees in Alabama

Barber, Brad Wayne (University of Alabama Libraries, 2013)

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic recently moved into its fourth decade in the U.S. In an attempt to combat this epidemic, lawmakers have implemented HIV ...
