The effects of physiological fluid shear stress on circulating tumor cells

Triantafillu, Ursula Lea (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

The focus of this dissertation is on the effects of physiological fluid shear stress (FSS) on circulating tumor cells (CTCs). FSS occurs on cells both in vitro and in vivo. FSS is typically considered as a major variable ...
Potential effect of river bathymetry on riverine flood simulation at watershed scale

Khanam, Mariam (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Flood prediction and mitigation systems are invaluable for improving public safety and community resilience worldwide. Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H & H) simulation of flood events is becoming an increasingly efficient tool ...
Are the mantle lithosphere and lower crust preferentially thinned during continental rifting?

Tew, Kalyn J. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Worldwide, estimates of extension in rift zones vary greatly depending on the method used to calculate the extension. This variability is the result of the discrepancy between different methodologies and may be the result ...
The gorgas house bound sheet music collection: a case study of nineteenth century music in the antebellum South

Rice, Bonnie J. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

The University of Alabama’s Gorgas Family Collection includes two bound volumes of sheet music containing a total of 123 compositions, scored primarily for piano or for voice with piano accompaniment, and published in the ...
Developing and testing a teaching intermediate concept measure: a preliminary reliability and validity study

Kerr, Shani (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

The Neo-Kohlbergian approach to moral reasoning development maintains that intermediate concepts lie between bedrock moral schemas and professional codes of ethics and deal with issues of confidentiality, competence, ...
"She likes her, she likes her not?: " how perceptions of closeness between best friends and rivals influence adolescents' friendship jealousy

Ingram, Amber (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Close friendships become increasingly prevalent during late childhood and early adolescence. While these friendships can provide general positive outcomes, they also have the possibility of generating negative emotions, ...
Evaluation of Pb0.95La0.05Zr0.54Ti0.46O3 thin film based capacitors for photovoltaic applications: using top electrodes of varying work function

Batra, Vaishali (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Ferroelectricity and optical transparency are the two properties of lanthanum doped lead zirconate titanate (PLZT) that are utilized to explore its use for photovoltaic (PV) applications. A ferroelectric material sandwiched ...
A wearable sensor system for automatic food intake detection and energy intake estimation in humans

Doulah, Abul Barkat Mollah Sayeed Ud (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Accurate measurement and estimation of energy intake (EI) are important for the understanding of energy balance and body weight dynamics. Food is the primary source of energy in the body. Therefore, the objective monitoring ...
Processing-microstructure-property relations in high pressure cold spray of AA2024 and AA7075

Story, William Andrew (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

In this dissertation work, the processing-microstructure-property relations are examined for cold spray deposited AA2024 and AA7075. Unlike traditional thermal spray technologies, powders are never melted during the cold ...
Phase equilibria and reaction kinetics of borides based high-temperature thermoelectric materials

Imam, Muhammad Ali (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

In this study, the phase equilibria of the binary borides (Mg-B and Si-B) were determined by solid-state electrochemical measurements. This study provides the equilibrium thermodynamic properties of boride based thermoelectric ...
Making "good" teachers: a study of power, discourse, and edtpa

Byrne, Caitlin Anne (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

In this qualitative study, I examined the ways that power operates through edTPA’s discourse of good teaching as it invites teacher candidates to act in particular ways as they attempt to be recognized as good teachers. ...
Living in an unreal world: fake news, social identity theory, and media literacy

Leonard, Wade Hampton (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

This study examined fake news under the theoretical framework of Social Identification Theory, and whether media literacy could act as an inoculant against the undesirable effects of social identification as it relates to ...
Sustainability analysis for construction companies under the LEED code

Giron Matute, Willy Adam (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

Sustainable construction is a very important input for economic development, improvement of human quality of living, and a major resource to decrease the negative impacts to our environment. While much published literature ...
Investigating ultra-low velocity zones at the core-mantle boundary beneath the Southern Hemisphere using an Antarctic dataset

Carson, Sarah (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

The core-mantle boundary (CMB) represents the largest absolute density contrast on our planet, and it is associated with significant heterogeneities. The CMB structure focused on in this study are ultra-low velocity zones ...
Predictors of mobile learning adoption among undergraduate nursing faculty in a Southeastern state

Forehand, Jeffery Wade (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

This study explored the predictors related to mobile learning (m-learning) adoption among undergraduate nursing faculty in a southeastern state. Venkatesh’s (2012) revised version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and ...
A study of droplet velocity and diameter measurements in a reacting diesel spray produced by a flow-blurring injector

Gokmen, Yasin (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

In many combustion applications such as gas turbines, liquid fuel atomization is important to obtain lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (UHCs), and soot particles. Thus, ...
