Rapid urbanization impacts the urban environment in many ways. Urban heat Island is one of the most important impacts created by concrete surfaces and anthropogenic activities, leading to a rural-urban temperature difference. ...

Research into low heat transfer internal combustion engine technology has led to a need for new testing devices that can generate heat flux at levels similar to those found in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition ...

Advances in technology have led to the proliferation of adversarial techniques capable of undermining traditional data security protocols designed to ensure data privacy. Such breaches have resulted in significant financial ...

Abstract Methane and carbon dioxide are two of the most significant greenhouse gases, responsible for global warming. A primary source of these emissions is the improper disposal of organic waste, including food waste and ...

In recent years, consumer driven interest has led to the addition of windows in broiler houses to allow for natural light during rearing. However, the effects of natural light on broiler welfare and behavior remain largely ...

New ab initio electron propagator self-energies (one-particle Green’s function methods) for calculating electron binding energies and Dyson orbitals have been derived from an intermediately normalized, Hermitized superoperator ...

This thesis focuses on evaluating and enhancing the design of public play spaces to promote child safety and guardian well-being simultaneously. It examines critical factors such as safety risks associated with children's ...

This thesis investigates two crucial areas related to polymer applications in space: the development of 3D printable polymer-lunar regolith composites for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) and the long-term performance ...

Compared to their cisgender peers, gender-expansive (GE) youth are more likely to experience less-optimal sleep. Although it is clear that sleep differences exist between GE and cisgender youth, little research has focused ...

American farmers continue to operate in a financially volatile industry, experiencing high revenue variability from year to year. A variety of elements, including erratic weather patterns, variable production costs, and ...
