The Impact Of Sex Education On College Student’S Perceptions Of Sexual Taboos, Noel Gamon
The Impact Of Sex Education On College Student’S Perceptions Of Sexual Taboos, Noel Gamon
Honors Theses
The purpose of this research is to explore how college students' differing levels of sex education are associated with their views about sexual behavior, particularly behaviors defined as taboo. In comparison to 25 years ago, adolescents are less likely to receive important sex education today; and are unlikely to receive valuable information until after their first sexual experience. Conventionally, the benefits of a sex education program are linked with its ability to lower STI rates, unplanned pregnancies, unwanted behavior, etc. Sexual taboos are sexual practices excluded from the hegemonic heterosexual monogamous relationship model. Presently, society acknowledges a wider range of …

Exploring The Synthesis, Characterization, And Aggregation Properties Of Perylene Diimide Derivatives, Erica Salinas
Exploring The Synthesis, Characterization, And Aggregation Properties Of Perylene Diimide Derivatives, Erica Salinas
Honors Theses
Once widely used for its vivid presence in an array of industrial dyes, perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) is a known precursor for perylene diimides (PDIs). These compounds are an alternative for sustainable energy within organic solar cells (OSCs) and for improving organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). PDIs are a great candidate for organic semiconductor applications because of their overall flexibility and low manufacturing cost as an organic photovoltaic. Its extended π-conjugation results in a planar structure promoting strong π- π intermolecular stacking, giving aggregated PDIs high electron mobility, allowing a flow of electrons to move through these stacked …

Enhancing E-Learning Recommendation Systems Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (Lda), Zanbaq Hikmet Thanon, Javad Salimi Sartakhti
Mesopotamian Journal of Big Data
Although the wide range of instructional materials, might overcome students and limit their capability to learn effectively, platform of education become important for providing personalized learning. Traditional recommendation systems (RS) try to resolve this issue; yet, they fail in understanding learning content semantically. This restriction makes it more difficult for them to deliver accurate, useful, and clear recommendations. The aim of this study is to enhance E-learning RS using topic modeling, specially the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) method, to discover latent structures within educational content. The ``20 Newsgroups'' dataset that containing over 20,000 items across 20 categories used to evaluate …
Space-Time Coded Pcm/Fm For Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry, Zachary B. Hilton
Space-Time Coded Pcm/Fm For Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry, Zachary B. Hilton
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis describes the application of a space-time block code for the legacy continuous phase modulation called "PCM/FM" in the IRIG 106 standard to solve the "two-antenna problem". This problem arises when two transmit antennas are used for full spatial coverage at the cost of self-interference caused by the different delays between the transmit antennas and the ground-based antenna. The space-time block encoder is described using bit-level operations on the input data stream. The space-time decoder uses coherent combining and maximum likelihood sequence estimation to produce an estimate of the data sequence. Simulation results for zero and various non-zero differential …

The origin(s) of life (OoL), which has puzzled scientists for centuries, remains a major scientific challenge in the 21st century. Understanding the processes relevant to the OoL demands theoretical frameworks that can connect processes across scales, from microscopic dynamics to emergent levels of organization. While experimental studies generate a wealth of data, theoretical and computational approaches provide the structure necessary to interpret and generalize these findings. In Part 1, we examined the most widely used experimental techniques in the field. Here, we focus on the mathematical, physical, and computational techniques used to model phenomena relevant to life’s origin(s). We discuss …
Essays On Empirical Research Of Education, Criminal And Decision, Hsuan-Hua Huang
Essays On Empirical Research Of Education, Criminal And Decision, Hsuan-Hua Huang
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation consists of three essays in applied microeconomics, examining how subjective beliefs, institutional designs, and policy incentives shape critical life-cycle decisions in education and public safety. The first chapter investigates how students form beliefs about their academic ability and how the misalignment between perceived and benchmark ability shapes high-stakes educational sorting. Using longitudinal data from Taiwan, I show that these ability gaps systematically predict school and track choices. By developing a model of utility maximization under perceived ability, the results highlight that subjective beliefs, rather than objective scores alone, are central to educational outcomes and potential mismatches in school …

Rioi: A Microwave-Photonic Rf-Interferometric Interrogation Technique For Enhanced Fiber Optic Sensing, Chen Zhu, Ruimin Jie, Chenxi Huang, Jie Huang
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Fiber optic interferometric (FOI) sensors are widely recognized for their high sensitivity, design flexibility, and multiplexing capabilities, making them ideal for applications ranging from structural health monitoring to biomedical diagnostics. However, conventional optical-domain interrogation techniques are often limited by the performance constraints of spectrometers. In this work, we present a radiofrequency (RF)-interferometric optical interrogation (RIOI) method for FOI sensors. This approach leverages microwave photonic (MWP) processing to encode the optical interference phase into an RF signal, which is then combined with a reference RF signal to produce a microwave-domain interferogram. By tracking spectral shifts in the RF domain, RIOI achieves …
Spontaneous Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Signals In Glioblastoma-Bearing And Aging Brains, Ki Yun Park
Spontaneous Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Signals In Glioblastoma-Bearing And Aging Brains, Ki Yun Park
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
Brain activity fluctuates across timescales from microseconds to decades, reflecting processes ranging from rapid synaptic transmission to slow neuromodulatory and homeostatic changes. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) captures the slow end of this spectrum (spontaneous blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) fluctuations over tens to hundreds of seconds), which reflect the integrated output of these underlying processes and are increasingly recognized as sensitive to both pathological and physiological brain states. The core of this thesis examines rs-fMRI as a biomarker for two clinical entities: glioblastoma and aging. Reliable biomarker development requires both methodological rigor and analytic breadth, knowing what the method …

Effects Of Solvent Type, Storage Time, And Storage Temperature On Free Radical Stability And Concentration In Model Radical Systems And Complex Vegetable Oil Matrices, Rachid Ismail Daboussi
Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses
Free radicals are reactive species with unpaired electrons that occur and form within a range of biological, physical, and chemical systems. These highly reactive entities can interact with each other and/or with other molecules present in a mixture, often leading to significant changes in the system. Control over free radical concentration and free radical reactions is necessary in various fields depending on the aim of the process. For instance, free radical addition reactions play an essential role in the synthesis of polymers, where controlled radical behavior is necessary. However, in the thermal cracking of oil, free radical addition reactions are …

Missing Children: The Underrepresentation Of Youth In Mental Health Data, Sammie Mcdonald
INSPIRE Student Research and Engagement Conference
While research continues to grow, it is apparent that there are still gaps in knowledge. This research was inspired by my ongoing internship at Allen Child Protection Center, where I have seen children left behind for not recognizing an outdated radio during cognitive testing, as well as my experience as a fraternal twin with a 10 year diagnosis gap between me and my brother. This led me to investigate diagnostic disparities in children’s mental health data.
To better understand if children are experiencing mental health diagnosis disparities, I am analyzing 9 waves of data from the Substance Abuse and Mental …
