Persistent homology : categorical structural theorem and stability through representations of quivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
that can still be offered up by using these familiar lenses at new angles. There are three chapters of results. Chapter 3 discusses a categorical framework for persistent homology that circumvents quiver theoretic structure, both in practice and in theory...
Spontaneous cluster formation in stoichiometric quantum critical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Metallic systems with magnetic ions embedded which have been prepared to undergo a second-order phase transition at zero Kelvin (called the quantum critical systems) historically appear to fall into two distinct categories: ...
Harmonic wavelet analysis of surface waves at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
-Wavelet-Analysis-of-Surface-Wave (HWAW) method. However, the literature on this method is limited and the method has not been widely adopted. The goal of this project is to improve the application of surface wave methods in geotechnical practice by evaluating the effectiveness...
Three Paths To Religious Integration In Ernest Hemingway’s War Fiction
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
My dissertation studies religiosity in Ernest Hemingway’s war fiction in terms of
how his soldier characters connect to the divine. The means to understanding this
connection is in refining how the characters express ...

Design and synthesis of group 8 transition metal complexes for C-C bond forming valorization of carbon dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The abundancy of carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere combined with its inexpensive cost and low toxicity has made CO2 upconversion to value added products an area of intense interest in catalysis research. While a ...
