A Synthesis and Optimization of Patented Direct Air Capture Technology
(2023)An engineering method termed direct air capture is used to take CO₂, the predominant global warming greenhouse gas, out of the atmosphere directly. Given that CO₂ levels in the air are only 0.04%, it presents a technical ... -
Mental Health Assessment of Dental Students and Dental Residents in a Midwestern Dental School: A Pilot Study
(2023)This study examined which demographic factors were associated with high levels of anxiety and depression in dental students and dental residents in a midwestern dental school. A twenty-four-item survey was distributed to ... -
Examination of postoperative outcomes following elective colorectal surgery
(2023)While a considerable amount of progress has been made on reducing poor postoperative outcomes following elective colon resection, including the design of a colectomy-specific Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program, ... -
Social Anxiety Among Black Women
(2023)Social anxiety disorder is one of the most prevalent and chronic types of anxiety disorders. Yet, social anxiety often goes undetected and untreated, particularly among racial-ethnic minority groups. Existing research ... -
The Education of a Staff Officer: The Life and Career of Samuel Cooper, 1798-1852
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 1989)Samuel Cooper was an officer in the United States Army from 1815-1861, and a Confederate States Army officer from 1861-1865. Cooper's long career as a staff officer in the U.S. Army culminated in his appointment to the ... -
Acceptability and Feasibility of Using Virtual Reality to Address Mental Health Stigma with African American Young Adults
(2024)African Americans are disproportionately affected by mental illness compared to White Americans. Studies have reported that African Americans experience higher levels of mental health-related stigma (MHS) than White ... -
Initial Development of the Adolescent Mental Health Literacy Scale
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2023)Although African Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population, they also represent nearly 20% of persons with a mental illness diagnosis. Additionally, 58% of African Americans have average to below average health literacy. ... -
Advanced Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing Systems with Cyclic Prefix-Less Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output Discrete Fourier Transform Spreading and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles-Assisted Cyclic Postfixed Windowed Schemes
(2023)In the proper designing of spectrally efficient 5th Generation (5G)/Beyond 5G (B5G) systems, minimization of Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) of the time domain Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM)/Cyclic ... -
Exploration of Low SWaP(Size,Weight and Power) Diffuse Optical Tomography and Imaging Technique for Biometrics
(2023)There have been significant advancements in biometric systems, with a particular focus on Iris, facial, and fingerprint recognition. My research, however, is centered around wrist vein recognition and involves the development ... -
Efficient Automated Generation of Local Descriptors for Use in ab initio Electronic Structure Simulations
(2023)First-principles electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) are well-known to have a high computational cost that scales algorithmically as O(N³), where N is the number of electrons. Reducing ... -
A Study of Detecting Bond Wire Lift-offs and Surface Defect of High Power IGBT Modules Using Acoustics Waves
