Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The University of Houston Libraries collect and make publicly available all electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) produced in UH graduate and PhD programs through the UH institutional repository. ETDs become available after the student submits them to the UH Graduate School, the document is approved by all appropriate parties, and any embargo on the document expires.
Collection Scope
UH Libraries began publishing ETDs from several UH Colleges in 2010. As of Summer 2014, all UH Colleges that require a thesis or dissertation for graduation began submitting these documents in electronic format. Below is a list of UH Colleges that currently participate in the ETD program and their coverage dates in this repository.

Vibration Control of a Pipe Submerged in Water
(2014-01-07)This thesis, for the first time, studies experimental vibration control of pipe like structures submerged in water by using a Pounding Tuned Mass Damper (PTMD). The PTMD is a novel damper that was recently invented in the ... -
Employee Reactions to Perceived Political Motives in Performance Appraisal
(2019-01-02)Supervisors claim to inflate, deflate, or otherwise manipulate performance ratings to achieve personal goals (Longenecker, Sims, & Gioia, 1987). While we know these goals impact performance ratings (e.g., Wang, Wong, & ... -
The Influence of Dopaminergic Medication on Gait and Balance Automaticity and Nonlinear Regularity in Parkinson’s Disease
(2018-12-19)Dual-tasking studies have shown that gait and balance automaticity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is significantly diminished. It is also well accepted that dopaminergic medication improves single-task gait and some aspects ... -

Decentralized-Inverter Based Reactive Power Compensation of Active Meshed Distribution Network
(2016-12-13)This thesis presents the analysis of voltage control in distribution systems, with the presence of distributed generation (DG). In microgrids, many smaller renewable generators (e.g, wind turbines, photovoltaic, fuel cells, ... -
Developing Smart Grouted Sand Columns for Real Time Monitoring of the Stability, Seepage, and Rapid Drawdown in Earth Dams
(2016-12-13)The reservoir drawdown can negatively affect the upstream slope stability of earth dams due to removal of the balancing hydraulic forces acting on the dams during undrained condition in the soil. Therefore, monitoring ... -
