Being Black And Depressed Double Sucks, Stephanie C. Jones

Student Theses and Dissertations

This paper investigates the ways race and racism mediate perceptions and experiences of depression among young Black Americans living in the New York metropolitan area. Based on 25 in-depth interviews with Black Americans between the ages of 18-28, the research shows that the Black identity exacerbates suffering for participants because it fundamentally changes how depression is lived, felt, and navigated. This study extends research about the lack of cultural competence among American health professionals, stigma surrounding mental illnesses among the Black American community, and the effects of the systematic dehumanization of Black bodies in American society.

Examining The Role Of Professional Orientation In How Trustees Of New Jersey's State Colleges And Universities Experience Their Fiduciary Responsibilities: A Mixed Methods Study, Brittany Ann Williams-Goldstein

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this sequential explanatory study was to examine, through the lenses of sensemaking theory and professional authority, the relationship between how largely non-educational professionals in New Jersey experience their fiduciary responsibilities as trustees of the state's public colleges and universities and to what extent their professional orientations influence their oversight.

Trustees draw from a continuum of orientations to navigate their responsibilities and chief among them are professional orientation, institutionally-rooted orientation, and orientations as members of traditionally underrepresented populations. Trustees frequently engage in deferential activities with their fellow board members whose professional or other orientations provide needed context for …

Electrical Characterization Of Crystalline Uo2, Tho2 And U0.71Th0.29O2, Christina L. Dugan

Theses and Dissertations

Uranium dioxide (UO₂), thorium dioxide (ThO₂), and U_xTh_1-xO₂ alloys are characterized for suitability in uranium-based neutron detectors. ThO₂ was studied for an envisioned UO₂/ThO₂ heterojunction. A U_0.71Th_0.29O₂ alloy was studied because of its resistance to oxidation and potential use in surface passivation. The U_0.71Th_0.29O₂ effective Debye temperature of 217± 24 K was measured using temperature-dependent x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The specific heat capacity for the U_0.71Th_0.29O₂ alloy was calculated from the Debye …

Sub-Nanometer Coupling Distance Control And Plasmon Enhanced Carrier Generation And Dynamics In Iii-V Semiconductor Heterostructures, Sharmin Haq

Optical Science and Engineering ETDs

Plasmonic modes in metal nanostructures enable light confinement at subwavelength scales. This field confinement is important for exploring the potential of nanotechnology in miniaturization of optics as well as for the advancement of optoelectronic devices, such as photodetectors, photovoltaics, and light-emitting diodes. Plasmon resonances are also ideal for developing ultrasensitive biosensors, and for enhancing surface photochemistry and photocatalysis. The increasing number of plasmon applications requires fundamental understanding of the plasmon coupled system which has not yet been completely understood. Controlling and engineering the plasmon response at the nanoscale will open still more applications in material science, communications, biochemistry and medicine. …
