The Aud One Out In The Final Battle: An Anya-Centered Feminist Analysis Of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Jessica Noelle Gibson-James

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Current usability testing is often conducted via face-to-face interactions. This method can be costly, both in terms of timelines and budget. However, remote usability testing has been shown to be a viable alternative, in that performance scores have been shown to be quite similar to face-to-face methods. Although performance appears similar, remote usability testing may present challenges that threaten the validity and reliability of usability testing results. Rather than focusing on the performance of users in remote versus co-located conditions, the proposed study investigates the emotional and attitudinal responses of users engaged in software usability tests. The purpose of this …

Determination Of The Compatibility Of Various Coatings With A Branched Perfluoropolyalklyether In A High Temperature Oxidative Environment, Patrick Thomas Hellman

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Six commercially available titanium based coatings were deposited onto M-50 and carburized Pyrowear 675® substrates and were studied in a high temperature oxidative environment while immersed in a branched perfluoropolyalklyether (PFPAE), Krytox AC®. The responses of the coated substrates to this environment were compared to M-50 and carburized Pyrowear 675®. The coatings investigated were physical vapor deposited (PVD) TiN, TiCN, TiAICN, TiCrCN/TiB4C multilayer, E-Ni TiN, and E-Ni TiCN. Experiments were conducted at temperatures ranging from 315 to 360°C for a duration of 24 hours. Post-test analysis of the metal/coated coupons consisted of visual inspection, weight change per area, scanning electron …
