Fabrication and Design of Sub-Wavelength Periodic Textures for Improving Light Harvesting in Multi-Junction III-V Photovoltaics
(December 2)Optimization of non-planar antireflective coating and back- (or front-) surface texturing are widely studied to further reduce the reflection losses and increase the sunlight absorption path in solar cells. In III-V ... -
Fabrication and Investigation of Conducting Polymer Micro and Nano Structures for Bioelectronics Applications
(May 2018)Conducting polymers (CPs), especially poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophthene) (PEDOT) and poly(pyrrole) (PPy), are ideal materials for bioelectronics devices because of their biocompatibility, mechanical properties that are ... -
Fabrication and Properties of III-Nitride Piezoelectric Pressure Sensors
(August 201)In this thesis, we utilize gallium nitride (GaN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) as the sensing element of piezoelectric pressure sensor because its stable piezoelectric coefficient d_33, high rigidity and high serving temperature. ... -
Fabrication Development Of Micron Scale Retroreflector Assays Using Wet Etching
(2013-08)We are developing a new ultra-sensitive pathogen detection platform for rapid, point-of-care diagnostics. The platform uses micron-scale retroreflecting surfaces to allow for accurate and automated detection of virus and/or ... -
Fabrication of close-packed non-circular nanomagnetic pattern using low energy self-limiting ion-milling process
(2013-05)We describe a low energy glow discharge process using a reactive-ion etching system that enables non-circular device patterns, such as squares or hexagons, to be formed from the precursor arrays of uniform circular openings ... -
Facies and Morphology of Pleistocene Travertine Mounds at Lyman Lake, Arizona
(December 2)Travertine mounds in eastern Arizona formed around central vents and range from <10 m to 50 m in diameter and between 0.5-60 m thick. The travertine mounds are primarily composed of laterally extensive sheets of rhythmically ... -
Facies and stratigraphic framework of the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas
(2013-05)The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale, in South and East Texas, consists of organic matter-rich fossiliferous marine shale. It is one of the most actively drilled targets for oil and gas in the United States, due to new ... -
FACIES ARCHITECTURAL STUDY OF INCISED VALLEYS, DISTRIBUTARY CHANNELS, AND MOUTH BARS IN THE CRETACEOUS FERRON NOTOM DELTA, SOUTHERN CENTRAL UTAH, USA.
(2012-12)This dissertation is focused on analysing architectural elements to understand the formative processes in linked fluvial and deltaic depositional systems in an ancient system. A compound incised valley system (IVS) and ... -
Facies Architecture, and Controls on Channel-belt Geometry: Cretaceous-Ferron Notom Delta, Utah, U.S.A.
(2013-05)Examination of fluvial deposits of the Late Cretaceous (Turonian) Ferron Sandstone Member, within the Mancos Shale Formation, in Central Utah (along Sweetwater Wash) was done to interpret fluvial style, characterize avulsion, ... -
Facies Architecture, Paleo-hydraulics and Fluvial Style of a Falling Stage Terrace Deposit within a Compound Incised Valley System, Ferron Notom Delta, Utah
(2013-05)Incised valley systems are important because they contain significant hydrocarbon reserves, provide clues into the geologic history of a region, and are crucial for sequence stratigraphic interpretations. The fluvial/deltaic ... -
Facility Location and Relocation Problem: Models and Decomposition Algorithms
(2012-05)We consider the facility location and relocation problem (FLRP). Due to demand change in this problem, we may need to close some existing facilities from low demand areas and open new ones in newly emerging areas. Specifically, ... -
Factor Structure and Validity of the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Knowledge and Attitude Scale for Heterosexuals (LGB-KASH)
(2010-08)Heterosexual attitudes toward Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) individuals have become the focus of recent research as sexual minorities and allies have advocated for LGB human rights issues and have subsequently captured ... -
Factor Structure of the Geriatric Depression Scale and its Relationship to Cognition in Alzheimer's Disease
(2011-12)Evidence suggests that patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) experience more frequent and severe apathy and depression than their healthy age counterparts. Moreover, some studies have shown that apathy and depression are ... -
FACTORS AFFECTING DAYTIME DRYNESS IN PRESCHOOLERS WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF CHILD-SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TREATMENT HISTORY
(2015-05)Successful toilet training is a key developmental milestone typically accomplished during the preschool-age range. Preschool-age children are developing the necessary components (e.g., social skills, communication, ... -
Factors Affecting Genetic Variation in Tetrahymena Thermophila
(December 2)In order to understand how evolution proceeds, we must determine how heritable variation is generated, passed from one generation to the next, and acted on by various evolutionary forces. Here, I review three factors that ... -
