Atmospheric Ozone, Mercury, and Biomass Burning in South-Central Texas
(2016-07-12)
This study investigated atmospheric ozone, mercury, and biomass burning characteristics in south-central Texas. I examined the past twenty-three years of ground-level O3 data and selected meteorological parameters in ...
MEASURING THE IMPACT OF DELIVERY METHODS ON RESPONDING TO PHISHING EMAILS BY COLLEGE EMPLOYEES
(2016-12)
Effective security awareness programs are desired at colleges to modify the behavior of employees and to improve the protection of sensitive information. The likelihood of theft of sensitive information from colleges has ...
Characterizing Corneal Biomechanical Properties Using Dynamic Optical Coherence Elastography
(2016-08-09)
Purpose: Optical coherence elastography (OCE) quantifies the tissue’s biomechanical properties through mechanical loading and imaging the tissue response using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Current techniques evaluating ...
Photo-Assisted Etching in Halogen Containing Plasmas
(2016-08-11)
Plasma etching is indispensable in microelectronics manufacturing, due to its ability to precisely pattern feature with lateral dimensions of <10 nm. To advance this capability to etch layers with atomic fidelity, while ...

Studies on the Thermoelectric Performance of Lead and Tin Chalcogenides
(2016-07-28)
With the growing interest of the world’s energy demand, sustainable and green energy is becoming a global challenge. Thermoelectric power generation, that directly converts waste heat into electricity, is considered as one ...
An Investigation of Dual-Band Fabry-Pérot Resonant Cavity Antennas
(2016-08-08)
In this dissertation, we examine a dual-band version of the Fabry-Pérot resonant cavity antenna that uses a frequency selective surface (FSS) patch layer over a ground plane to form a composite artificial ground plane that ...
Biophysical Feedbacks Mediate Tidal Creek Formation in Salt Marshes
(2016-08-04)
How organisms and ecological systems respond to global change is of great interest to ecologists. These responses may or may not be beneficial because there might be positive or negative feedbacks that would make the impacts ...
