Modeling Variability In Pre-Columbian Woodland Habitation And Social Organization: The Brickhill Bluff Site, Cumberland Island, Georgia., Stephen Andrew Wise Jan 2017

Modeling Variability In Pre-Columbian Woodland Habitation And Social Organization: The Brickhill Bluff Site, Cumberland Island, Georgia., Stephen Andrew Wise

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis examines Woodland settlement patterns at the Brickhill Bluff site on Cumberland Island, Georgia. Aspects of Woodland habitation and social organization are not well understood along the Georgia coast. Using shell and artifact distribution data from excavations at Brickhill Bluff, this thesis attempts to discern how Woodland populations, specifically Deptford and St. Johns cultures, utilized the site between 1000 B.C. and A.D. 1000. This study also examines the efficacy of the midden typology already established for the South Atlantic Coastal Plain by statistically comparing the artifact assemblage from Brickhill Bluff to samples from sites used to develop this midden …

Monitoring Of Traffic Signal System’S Performance And Reliability Based On The Data From Atms.Now Signal System Central Software, Danilo Radivojevic

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The monitoring of traffic signal systems can be of great importance for identifying problems, self-assessment, budgeting, creating the strategy for future steps, etc. Monitoring procedure was developed through a set of dashboards with relevant signal performance and reliability measures. The dashboards were created to reflect performance and reliability of a specific signal system on a weekly or monthly level. The author used data from ATMS.now signal system central software to illustrate how similar dashboards could be developed from any central software to enable operators to promptly and efficiently monitor various parameters of traffic signals. The main outcome of the study …


Moving Ever Forward: Reading The Significance Of Motion And Space As A Representation Of Trauma In Toni Morrison’S Song Of Solomon And Colson Whitehead’S The Underground Railroad, Samantha Richmond Jan 2017

Moving Ever Forward: Reading The Significance Of Motion And Space As A Representation Of Trauma In Toni Morrison’S Song Of Solomon And Colson Whitehead’S The Underground Railroad, Samantha Richmond

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis argues that three models of trauma theory, which include traditional trauma theory, postcolonial trauma theory, and cultural trauma theory, must be joined to fully understand the trauma experienced by African Americans within the novels Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. By implementing these three theories, we can see how each novel’s main character is exploring and learning about African American trauma and better understand how an adjustment of space and time creates the possibility for the implementation of trauma theory. Each novel presents a journey, and it is through this movement …


Nest-To-Surf Mortality Of Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) Sea Turtle Hatchlings On Florida’S East Coast In 2016, Victoria Erb Jan 2017

Nest-To-Surf Mortality Of Loggerhead (Caretta Caretta) Sea Turtle Hatchlings On Florida’S East Coast In 2016, Victoria Erb

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Worldwide, sea turtles are especially vulnerable immediately after emerging from nests. Many monitoring programs measure hatchling production from nest inventories. These inventories rarely account for mortality occurring post-emergence, leaving an incomplete estimate of hatchling production. This study addresses the nest-to-surf data gap for Florida’s east coast nesting assemblages of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Five locations were surveyed during the 2016 nesting season by using infrared time-lapse imagery, night vision optics, and track maps. Over all beaches, 7.6% of the observed hatchlings did not survive to reach the water. Mortality sources varied by location. Observed predators included: foxes, bobcats, yellow-crowned …


Narcissism Admiration And Rivalry Using Situation Research, Jamie Zahava Ramos Jan 2017

Narcissism Admiration And Rivalry Using Situation Research, Jamie Zahava Ramos

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Narcissism is a multidimensional construct consisting of many components and a variety of conceptualizations. One such example is the NARC conceptualization of grandiose narcissism and its two subcomponents admiration and rivalry. This research aims to answer three questions about the NARC conceptualization: (1) what is the relationship between narcissism and Big Six Personality dimensions?; (2) what is the relationship between narcissism and observable behavior?; and (3) how does narcissism relate to situational experiences in daily life? Results showed that, consistent with previous research, narcissism was related to Big Six personality. Additionally, narcissism was related to observable behavior. Finally, the results …


No Surrender: Bruce Springsteen, Neoliberalism And Rock And Roll’S Melancholic Fantasy Of Sovereign Rebellion, Kaitlin N. Graves Jan 2017

No Surrender: Bruce Springsteen, Neoliberalism And Rock And Roll’S Melancholic Fantasy Of Sovereign Rebellion, Kaitlin N. Graves

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This thesis builds from press accounts of Bruce Springsteen’s South by Southwest keynote address, taken by many to be a renewed call to arms of the classic mantras of the rock ethos in the age of a declining recording industry. In tracing the ways the speech circulated I argue that its discourse was rearticulated toward quite different (and concerning) ends. Throughout, I aim to show the apparatuses of power that sustains the rock liberation fantasy. I read the coverage of Springsteen’s address as a therapeutic discourse meant to soothe the anxiety over the closure of agency in the age of …


Olfaction And Exhibition: Assessing The Impact Of Scent In Museums On Exhibit Engagement, Learning And Empathy, Cory C. Mills Jan 2017

Olfaction And Exhibition: Assessing The Impact Of Scent In Museums On Exhibit Engagement, Learning And Empathy, Cory C. Mills

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

The aim of this investigation is to analyze the effects of incorporating scent-based elements in ethnographic exhibits. Specifically, it attempts to identify changes in patron response to a visual display, with and without a scent element. Groups of patrons were observed throughout their engagement with the exhibit, and interviewed post-engagement to generate data on information retention, opinion on content and empathetic response in relation to the exhibit. Findings suggest that the inclusion of scent did increase memorization of the limited facts reinforced through the scent element. However, there was no detectable difference between the groups on measures of overall comprehension …


Optimal Energy Scheduling Of A Hybrid Microgrid Considering Environmental Aspects, Hadis Moradi Jan 2017

Optimal Energy Scheduling Of A Hybrid Microgrid Considering Environmental Aspects, Hadis Moradi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Lower costs of clean energy generation, the need for a more secure grid, and environmental concerns are leading to create more opportunities for integration of renewable energy resources utilization in the power systems. The recent concept of Microgrid (MG), as a part of the development of smart grid, is required in order to integrate the renewable sources in the utility grid. An MG is described as a small-scale distribution grid that consists of diversified Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs), and local flexible loads that typically can either be operated in islanded or grid-connected modes. The optimal …


Perceived Risk And Consumer Adoption Of Service Innovations, Selen Savas Jan 2017

Perceived Risk And Consumer Adoption Of Service Innovations, Selen Savas

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

This study examines the influence of various facets of perceived risk on the attitudes toward really new services (RNS) and adoption intentions. Although there is considerable research examining perceived risk and consumer adoption of innovations, three aspects of the relationship have been neglected. First, much of the research on really new innovations is product-focused with little attention to services. Second, there is limited research examining perceived risk as a multidimensional construct. Third, consumer characteristics that affect the relationship between perceived risks and adoption intentions have not been included in most of the innovation studies. Thus, this study seeks to provide …


Plato And Shakespeare: The Influence Of Phaedrus And Symposium On A Midsummer Night’S Dream, Tahmina Begum Urmi Jan 2017

Plato And Shakespeare: The Influence Of Phaedrus And Symposium On A Midsummer Night’S Dream, Tahmina Begum Urmi

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Many scholars who study Plato and Shakespeare together focus only on erotic love between lovers or nonsexual love between others. A closer study of A Midsummer Night’s Dream shows that Shakespeare uses Plato’s concepts of the soul in addition to the Forms, the guide, as well as staging the varieties of love that can exist between two individuals and the dangers of loving the physical more than the mind. Shakespeare takes these ideas embedded in Symposium and Phaedrus and not only crafts his play accordingly, but also creates his own versions through his unique interpretations. These alterations appear reflected in …


Pop Cultures: A Comparative Analysis Of The American And South Korean Record Industries, Kanel Marchand Jan 2017

Pop Cultures: A Comparative Analysis Of The American And South Korean Record Industries, Kanel Marchand

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

As the oldest recording industry in the world, the United States has set industry standards regarding record labels, publishing, live entertainment and music services. Since the beginning of the 20th century, American music has become a staple in worldwide pop culture, spreading to all four corners of the world. Indeed, the U.S. music industry has held the number one position in the ranking of the world’s top 10 largest music markets since its first record label, Columbia Records, was founded in 1887. However, a relatively new genre of music is rapidly taking over the world’s pop music scene: South Korean …


Plane-Wave Scattering Of A Periodic Corrugated Cylinder, Samuel Garcia Jan 2017

Plane-Wave Scattering Of A Periodic Corrugated Cylinder, Samuel Garcia

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

In this dissertation, a novel approach to modeling the scattered field of a periodic corrugated cylinder, from an oblique incident planewave, is presented. The approach utilizes radial waveguide approximations for fields within the corrugations, which are point matched to approximated scattered fields outside of the corrugation to solve for the expansion coefficients. The point matching is done with TMz and TEz modes simultaneously, allowing for hybrid modes to exist. The derivation of the fields and boundary conditions used are discussed in detail. Axial and radial propagating modes for the scattered fields are derived and discussed. Close treatment is given to …


Points Of Intersection Finding Connections Between Design, Science And Math, Christopher Kohlhagen Jan 2017

Points Of Intersection Finding Connections Between Design, Science And Math, Christopher Kohlhagen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Contemporary educational trends have created a false dichotomy between the arts and science. The will to make STEM subjects the focus of K-12 education, ignores both a shared history and the potential for greater learning in a shared future.The intention of Points of Intersection is to demonstrate that design, science and math intersect in their concepts, practices and history. In the past, these disciplines were explored and studied together and benefited from each other. By exploring what design and science have in common and the points where they intersect, we can see the relevance and importance of art and design …


Propulsive Performance And Maneuver Control Of Undulatory Ribbon Fin Propulsion Using Bio-Inspired Robotic Systems, Hanlin Liu Jan 2017

Propulsive Performance And Maneuver Control Of Undulatory Ribbon Fin Propulsion Using Bio-Inspired Robotic Systems, Hanlin Liu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Undulatory ribbon- n-based propulsion is an appealing propulsion mechanism due to its rich locomotor capabilities that can improve the propulsive performance and maneuverability of underwater vehicles. For instance, the swimming mechanics of weakly electric black ghost knife sh (Apteronotus albifrons) is of great interest to study because of their high swimming e ciency at low speeds and extraordinary agility such as rapid reversal swimming, hovering in presence of water disturbance, rolling and vertical swimming. In this thesis work, to facilitate our understanding on the exible undulatory ribbon n propulsion, we have four research motivations. The rst objective is to study …


Public Perception Of Health Risks Related To Climate Change In Broward County, Florida, Jeanmarie A Steckler Buck Jan 2017

Public Perception Of Health Risks Related To Climate Change In Broward County, Florida, Jeanmarie A Steckler Buck

Electronic Theses and Dissertations 2010 - 2019

Scholars agree that global climate change is a major threat to the physical environment, affecting all aspects of life on the planet. However, the general public do not feel that climate change is a major risk or threat, especially to humans. It is important to understand the public’s perception and opinions of climate change as it affects and influences the creation and passing of climate change adaptation and mitigation policies. Specifically, little is known about public perceptions in regards to the greater health risk imposed by global climate change. This study examines the public's perception of health risks related to …
