The current dissertation (i) examined the effectiveness of a recombinant Newcastle disease virus (NDV) vaccine candidate, (ii) evaluated mucosal and systemic immune responses induced by NDV in chickens with maternally ...
The effect of solder alloys and surface finishes on the thermal cycling reliability of different electronic packages
(2025-07-28)
Electronic products have become essential in modern society, powering everything from communication devices to critical infrastructure. Eutectic SnPb (Tin-Lead) solder has been used in electronics since the early days due ...
Middle Aged Farmer Perspectives on Farm Stress
(2025-07-25)
This qualitative study explores how middle-aged farmers (ages 35 to 50) perceive and respond to farm stress, economic risk, and transition planning across four U.S. States: Alabama, Kansas, Montana, and North Carolina. By ...
Effect of Broiler Litter Stockpiling Methods on Nutrient Transformations and Ammonia and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
(2025-07-24)
The United States (US) is the largest producer and supplier of poultry products worldwide and produces 9.16 billion broilers annually. In the US, 41% of the broiler industry is located in the southeastern region, accounting ...
Application of a Vortex Lattice Method Solver to an Aircraft Sizing Framework
(2025-07-23)
A Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) solver is developed to estimate the aerodynamic performance of lifting surfaces, while operating within the assumptions of Potential Flow. The VLM solution is found by representing an aircraft ...
Examination of Fear Extinction in Chronic Cannabis Use, Anxiety Disorders, and their Co-occurrence
(2025-07-23)
Comorbid cannabis use and anxiety are common, but the relationship is not well understood. The main active ingredient of cannabis is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC). Acute THC intoxication has been shown to improve between ...
Understanding the criticality of volumetric defects on the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured aluminum alloys
(2025-07-23)
This study investigates the criticality of volumetric defects on the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured (AM) Al alloys. The role of various microstructures in determining sensitivity to defects, in particular their ...
Improved Momentum-Integral Framework for Modeling Viscous and Thermal Boundary Layers
(2025-07-23)
This work advances the classical Kármán–Pohlhausen (KP) momentum-integral method by applying an improved nearfield formulation, developed by Majdalani and Xuan, to several canonical problems. This formulation resolves a ...
Towards Understanding the Influence of Surface Integrity on Mechanical Behavior of Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V
(2025-07-23)
Additively manufactured components often exhibit shorter fatigue lives in their
unmachined state compared to machined or wrought counterparts mainly due to the presence of
surface micro-notches. While post-processing ...
Undergraduate and Graduate String Instrumentalists’ Approaches to Learning New Solo Repertoire: Descriptive Case Studies of Deliberate Practice Using the Fitts and Posner Model of Skill Learning
(2025-07-23)
Practice, defined as working at something repeatedly to achieve proficiency (Merriam-Webster, n.d.), is widely recognized as a necessary component of skill acquisition. Past research has recognized the need to develop ...
Investigation of 1-Trichloromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carboline (TaClo)-Induced Neurotoxicity in the Zebrafish Models (Danio rerio)
(2025-07-23)
Environmental pollutants have been linked to neurotoxicity and are proposed to contribute to neurodegenerative disorders. Trichloroethylene (TCE) has been identified as an environmental contaminant and a potential risk ...
Expanding Horizons: Mappability, Literature, and the Making of the Medieval English World
(2025-07-23)
This dissertation set out to answer two questions: (1) how late medieval English literature represents space and (2) how mappability as both a technological and conceptual affordance acts and evolves across a variety of ...
