Moments, Matthew Benjamin Mcmilon
Theses Digitization Project
I am an interdisciplinary artist, educator and writer from Southern California. My practice explores the ways in which images, text and even something as complex as human identity are all made up of fragmented parts that work together to establish visual narrative. Working across multiple media, I create artworks that are lyrical and chaotic and place them in highly aestheticized conditions. My work depicts universal themes of love, loss and resilience over social and political oppression. Additionally, my work questions ideas of social and personal validity, agency and the visually queer.
Comparison And Evaluation Of Black Carbon And Elemental Carbon Instrumentation In A Near Roadway Environment, Brandon James Feenstra
Comparison And Evaluation Of Black Carbon And Elemental Carbon Instrumentation In A Near Roadway Environment, Brandon James Feenstra
Theses Digitization Project
This study was conducted at a site adjacent to the I-710 freeway in Long Beach California from March 7 to April 8 of 2012 to evaluate various black carbon and elemental carbon aerosol measurement methods. The measurement of carbonaceous aerosol is a growing field of study because of increasing interest into the climate and health effects of black carbon (BC), and important constituent of atmospheric particular matter (PM). Elemental carbon (EC) and BC are measurements of similar portions of carbon particulate matter, but two measures are operationally defined according to the method used for their detection.

Stereotactic Localization And Targeting Accuracy For Experimental Proton Radiosurgery, Yin Chen
Stereotactic Localization And Targeting Accuracy For Experimental Proton Radiosurgery, Yin Chen
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study was to improve an existing experimental proton radiosurgery system at Loma Linda University Medical Center to reach sub-millimeter accuracy before proton radiosurgery with narrow beams can be used in a clinical trial. Protons, different from photons (i.e., x-rays or gamma rays), are charged with particles that slow down in matter and release a burst of energy near the end of their range (maximum depth of penetration), which is called the Bragg peak, named after the physicist William Henry Bragg who discovered it in 1903. Photon beams deliver most doses over a large area near the …

Fiducial-Free Alignment Verification Techniques For Intracranial Radiosurgery, Kenneth Matthew Williams
Fiducial-Free Alignment Verification Techniques For Intracranial Radiosurgery, Kenneth Matthew Williams
Theses Digitization Project
This thesis serves as the basis for a method using image registration to automate patient alignment in an effort to eliminate the dependency on the fiducial markers as well as improve the accuracy efficiency of the alignment process. Proton beams are an external beam modality of radiation therapy that can be used effectively for radiosurgical applications due to the dosimetry advantage of the Bragg peak. The Bragg peak is a phenomenon exploited by proton beam therapy to concentrate the effect of the beams on the tumor while minimizing damage to critical structures and other health tissues within the patient.
Plasma Confinement: Mathematical Modeling Of A Fusion Reactor, James Scott Jones
Plasma Confinement: Mathematical Modeling Of A Fusion Reactor, James Scott Jones
Theses Digitization Project
This study will discuss currently used power sources and their drawbacks, leading to covering fusion as an energy source and its potential. Fusion has three significant important advantages: Fuel reserves, safety, and environment. A significant amount of fuel reserves comes from the natural occurrence in ocean water of deuterium at a 1 to 6700 ratio, accounting for the energy supply being on the order of 2 billion years. Fusion does not produce any greenhouse gases and its only 'exhaust' is that of harmless inert helium.

Developing Focused Auditing Tools: A Practical Framework For Creating Formalized Multi-Level Security Policy Specifications, Barbara Ann Brough
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study is that formalized policy specifications and focused penetration testing are needed to effectively audit any information system. Designing and maintaining the security system information is the primary duty of the cyber security professional. In today's world, nearly all government agencies manage some form of financial, defense, national security, and/or privacy information security policies. It is also necessary in this environment that agencies are accountable for auditing the security systems that protect this information.

The Influences On Job Search Behaviors Among Convicted Felons With Substance Abuse Disorders, Anthony Raymond Saldana
Theses Digitization Project
This study examined job search intensity among felony-convicted, substance-abusing individuals who have been court mandated to attend community based treatment. Drug courts provide counseling and other services to help convicted felons become productive members of society. Studies show that if released prisoners become employed, they are less likely to return to prison.
Training A Parent To Teach Her Autism Spectrum Disorder Child To Use An Independent Activity Schedule, Tessa Lynne Bryan
Training A Parent To Teach Her Autism Spectrum Disorder Child To Use An Independent Activity Schedule, Tessa Lynne Bryan
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study was to train the parents of an ASD child (who was not receiving prior intervention services) to teach their child to use an Independent Activity Schedule (IAS) to enable him to engage in short periods of appropriate, independent play without adult prompting and/or disruptive, stereotypical behaviors. Teaching the parent (s) to utilize this technique will benefit the child in that his/her parent (s) are usually with him/her and would thus be able to use the IAS with him/her continuously.
