The Nightingale and the Rose: Chamber Opera in Two Acts
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)I chose Oscar Wilde’s short story, The Nightingale and the Rose (about a nightingale who sacrifices her life to create a red rose for love), for my opera for its fantasy, wit, and expectation-defying tropes. This ... -
Optimization of Soil-Lime and Cement Mixes for Compressed Earth Stabilized Blocks for Low-Cost Housing in East Africa (Kenya)
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The population of East Africa (Kenya) has continued to increase steadily due to rural urban migration. This has created a large population influx of low-income earners which has resulted in lack of low-cost affordable ... -
Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of Boron Carbide for Interconnect Applications
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)As the semiconductor industry endeavors to scale integrated circuit dimensions— decreasing layer thicknesses while increasing the aspect ratio of fillable features—the need for novel interconnect materials with highly ... -
Protest and Survive: A Brief History and Analysis of the Politics of Punk
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Politics are an important aspect of most punk music, and many authors, avoiding concrete description, paint the genre with a nebulous left-ish brush. This, however, is insufficient at explaining how and why the genre ... -
Qualitative Software Engineering and Parallel Sorting Algorithm for Real Numbers
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The research work consists of two parts. Part one is about qualitative software engineering and Event-B modelling for class and Use case diagrams. Now a days distributed and parallel applications are most popular and ... -
A Remedy for Death For Mixed Ensemble
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)A Remedy for Death is a three-movement composition for mixed ensemble, which is inspired by the love of God in the bible. The first movement, “The Fall of Man”, is based on the book of Genesis chapter ... -
Ripening Kinetics of Iron Sulfides in the Presence/Absence of a Carbonyl Group
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The ripening of mackinawite (Fe₁+ₓS) to pyrite (FeS₂) or greigite (Fe²⁺Fe³⁺ ₂S₄) was examined at temperatures between 23 and 90°C to better understand the kinetics of low temperature iron sulfide crystallization in the ... -
Super Absorbent Polymers (SAPs) as physical air entrainment in cement mortars
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Super absorbent polymers (SAPs) are novel multipurpose materials in concrete technology. This study investigated the potential for using SAPs as a mechanism for physical air entrainment. Mixtures were produced using ... -
Technological Solution beyond MOSFET and Binary Logic Device
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Today’s technology is based on the binary number system-based circuitry, which is the outcome of the simple on and off switching mechanism of the prevailing transistors. Consideration of higher radix number system can ... -
Toward smart Mobility by Enhancing Travel-Time Reliability
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Here is my abstract – Smart mobility is an essential element in building smart cities. To realize connected and automated smart mobility as a service, the capability to efficiently estimate the travel-time reliability ... -
Trust and Inequality: Are Perceptions of Inequality Influencing Trust?
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Previous research has demonstrated a significant relationship between trust and inequality at both the individual and national levels (Wilkinson and Pickett, 2010), but it is unclear whether the absence of trust produces ...
