The Fallen, Ann Rose

Masters Theses

The thesis, Free Association as a Means for Fictional Character Development, is a study of how to use the technique of free association to build a character with a mind, mannerisms, and a physique. The method is a way for an author to draw upon real life people in the past to meld their characteristics and psyches into a well-developed fictional character. The components of this chapter discuss how certain people have influenced the author’s childhood and resultant character building in creative writing. The individual mentioned from the author’s childhood is relevant to the creation of the character in the …

Electrochemically Assisted Wastewater Treatment Towards Water Reuse: Mechanism, Performance, And Application, Kaichao Yang

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Population growth, urban densification and climate change are increasing the water pollution and water shortage problems. To achieve more sustainable water management, wastewater reuse, both for non-potable and potable reuse purposes, appears to be an attractive option. In wastewater treatment and water reuse processes, oxidation treatment processes and membrane technologies are commonly applied by water utilities to remove recalcitrant contaminants and ensure the safety of the treated effluent. However, these processes are facing challenges including requirements of chemical reagents storage and transport, issues of membrane fouling and formation of toxic byproducts. Electrochemical technology presents a promising chemical-free approach with its …

Significance Of Multi-Level Fusion In Multi-Component Fault Diagnosis Under Speed Varying Condition In Rotational Machinery, S. Sowmya, M. Saimurugan, Immanuel A. Edinbarough

Informatics and Engineering Systems Faculty Publications

Most well-known challenging effects of identifying multiple defects in a rotational machine when speed is varied, are illustriously inspected by many researchers. However, different fusion logics are evolved in the series of research attempt, but not paid much attention in interrogating it for unsteady speed signals.Addressing this literature void, this paper focusses on multi-level fusion strategy with the help of sensor-centric feature integration and Dempster Shafer’s (D-S) theory of evidence for uncovering multi-faults in bearings, shafts and gears of rotational machines under speed variational condition. Primarily, instantaneous frequency and envelope from the acquired vibration and sound signals of complex system …

Police And The Social Media Battlefield, Larry D. Anthony Mr.

The Journal of Public and Professional Sociology

Social media has proven to be a powerful weapon shaping the opinions and actions of today's society. Police departments are unarmed in the battle of public opinion, and some feeble attempts to engage in social media have been disappointingly unsuccessful. Developing training for a social media team is the first step in positive interaction with the community by including educators, internet technology experts, community leaders, attorneys, experienced officers, and police leadership.

The restrictions in police policies for using social media predestines the effort useless. The police must engage in every area of social media with trained personnel and state of …

An Investigation Of Homicide And Aggravated Assault Rates In Relation To Police Attrition, Terence Sweeney

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Between January 2021 and December 2022, a surge in retirements and resignations among U.S. police departments coincided with a notable rise in violent crime in urban areas. This correlational study used a retrospective approach to test the theory that a correlation existed between the unprecedented attrition of sworn officers following the 2020 social unrest and the contemporaneous sudden spike in violent crime rates in major cities during that same period. In addition, this study aimed to explore whether the four cities reacted similarly and simultaneously during the 24 months under study. The population under study was the attrition rates of …

The Effects Of The Repetitive Use Of A Position-Specific Loading Pattern On Lower Limb Asymmetry In Nfl Offensive Tackles, Kavan B. Latham

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

American Football is a fast-paced, high-impact, collision sport associated with high frequency of injuries occurring through contact or non-contact, acute impact, or repeated stresses. This purpose of this short-term longitudinal study was to examine development of musculoskeletal asymmetries through a specific loading pattern used by the offensive tackle in the National Football League (NFL). Using both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, strength and asymmetry changes in five NFL offensive tackles were analyzed pre- and post-training camp, with a focus on three key isometric strength tests: the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull Test (IMTP), the Isometric Staggered Stance Pull Test (IMSSP), a Force Frame …

Deepening Relationships With God At Crosspoint Church Through Understanding Covenantal Heritage, David J. Ogurek

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The project designed and delivered a six-week sermon series with small-group discussion guides to help participants deepen their relationships with God through understanding their covenantal heritage. The project utilized a multi-week sermon series that employed a teaching method involving biblical history to show how God’s story continually points toward Christ and is relevant to Christianity. Data were collected using surveys before and after the sermon series and a focus group of small-group leaders. The research …

Central American immigrant mothers from the Northern Triangle face many types of traumatic events in their lives. These events began in their home …

Lack Of Diverse Leadership In A Highly Diverse Culture In A Military Unit Within The U.S. Armed Forces: Promoting Diversity And Inclusivity, Renika J. Pruitt

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

The problem addressed was the potential lack of diverse leadership in a highly diverse culture within a military unit in the U.S. Armed Forces. Despite a demographic variety among service members, leadership roles remain primarily dominated by the majority, white males. I explored systemic barriers to leadership diversity, including implicit biases, traditional selection practices, and limited mentorship opportunities for diverse service members. The research included a sample of 30 leaders as the primary population and 30 survey responses from junior service members for triangulation purposes. A flexible, single-case study design was chosen to explore this issue thoroughly. Key findings revealed …
