An Ecological Approach to Understanding the Predictors and Outcomes of Absenteeism in the Early Years
(2022-09-08)Preschool absenteeism rates are high. Children with higher absenteeism rates perform worse on assessments of literacy, math, and social-emotional skills by the end of a school year and are more likely to be absent in ... -
An Ecological Framework to Support Dual Language Learners in US Preschool Classrooms
(2022-05-10)One-third of U.S-based preschool-aged children speak one or more languages other than English at home. These Dual Language Learners (DLLs) especially benefit from high quality early childhood, and it is now widely acknowledged ... -
An Electronic Health Record Interface for Clinician Use in Inpatient Settings During Rounds
(2018-06-29)In inpatient settings, clinicians visit their patients during morning rounds to go over recent results, patient state, and upcoming plans and goals for the patient’s stay in the hospital. Current electronic health record ... -
An Embodied History of Math and Logic in Russian-speaking Eurasia
(2021-05-14)This dissertation is about logical pluralism, addressed through challenges to logical binarism (true/false), as well as to the binarism that logic itself holds in relation to embodied ways of knowing. The research is ... -
An empirical model for the galaxy luminosity and star formation rate function at high redshift
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Using the most recent measurements of the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity functions (LFs) and dust estimates of early galaxies, we derive updated dust-corrected star formation rate functions (SFRFs) at z similar to 4-8, which ... -
An Empirically Calibrated Model for Interpreting the Evolution of Galaxies during the Reionization Era
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)We develop a simple star formation model whose goal is to interpret the emerging body of observational data of star- forming galaxies at z greater than or similar to 6. The efficiency and duty cycle of the star formation ... -
An Evolutionary Model for Submillimeter Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 2008-12-01) -
An Exploration of Two-Party Reconciliation Problems
(2018-08-31)This thesis explores various two-party reconciliation problems from a theoretical perspective. We define a reconciliation problem to be one in which Alice and Bob each have some data, and their data is in some problem ... -
AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF REACTION-DIFFUSION SYSTEMS
(2022-05-23)Reaction-diffusion models play an important role in explaining many physical phenomena. This thesis represents an exploratory analysis of reaction-diffusion systems, ranging from the mathematical theory to modern-day ... -
An extended galactic population of low-luminosity x-ray sources (CVs?) and the diffuse x-ray background
(American Astronomical Society, 1995) -
An Extension of the Kazhdan-Lusztig Equivalence
(2022-05-03)We establish an equivalence between the DG category of Iwahori–integrable affine Lie algebra representations and the DG category of representations of the “mixed” quantum group, thus confirming a conjecture made by D. ... -
An Extensive Census of Hubble Space Telescope Counterparts to Chandra X‐Ray Sources in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae. I. Astrometry and Photometry
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)We report in this study of 47 Tucanae the largest number of optical identifications of X-ray sources yet obtained in a single globular cluster. Using deep Chandra ACIS-I imaging and extensive Hubble Space Telescope studies ... -
An Extensive Census of Hubble Space Telescope Counterparts to Chandra X‐Ray Sources in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae. II. Time Series and Analysis
(American Astronomical Society, 2003)We report time series and variability information for the optical identifications of X-ray sources in 47 Tucanae reported in Paper I (at least 22 cataclysmic variables [CVs] and 29 active binaries). The radial distribution ... -
An Extinction Study of the Taurus Dark Cloud Complex
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)We present a study of the detailed distribution of extinction in a region of the Taurus dark cloud complex. Our study uses new BVR images of the region, spectral classification data for 95 stars, and IRAS Sky Survey Atlas ... -
An Improved Charged Particle Track Reconstruction Algorithm for the Micromegas Detectors of the New Small Wheel for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider
(2021-06-04)The forthcoming High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider upgrade brings potential for the discovery of new physics. However, the HL-LHC also brings new technological challenges as the Collider increases its luminosity beyond ... -
An Improved Measurement of the Electron Magnetic Moment
(2022-09-02)A single isolated electron in a Penning trap yields a new measurement of the electron magnetic moment g/2 = 1.001 159 652 180 59 (13). Combined with the Standard Model calculation, this yields an independent determination ... -
An injectable, spontaneously assembling biomaterial-based cancer vaccine platform
(2017-09-07)Cancer immunotherapy has the potential to provide a cure for many patients. Therapeutic cancer vaccination can stimulate the immune system to eradicate tumor cells while sparing normal tissues, and establish long-term ... -
An inordinate fondness for slugs: Phylogenomics of the diverse gastropod clade Heterobranchia, a group key to our understanding of the evolution of shell reduction and loss
(2022-03-17)Gastropods are exquisitely successful organisms, their shell undoubtedly playing a key role in their success. Despite being such an effective defense mechanism, the gastropod shell has been reduced, lost or internalized ... -
An integrated chemogenomic approach exploring and exploiting prolyl-tRNA synthetase as target for next-generation malaria and cancer therapies
(2022-11-23)Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites and remains one of the world’s most pressing public health challenges with nearly half of the world’s population at risk, causing over 200 million cases and ...
