A CHANDRA STUDY OF SUPERNOVA REMNANTS IN THE LARGE AND SMALL MAGELLANIC CLOUDS
(2017-05-04)In the first part of this thesis we measure the interstellar abundances for the elements O, Ne, Mg, Si, and Fe in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), based on the observational data of sixteen supernova remnants (SNRs) in ... -
A City in Crisis: Communication Network, Ethics, and Power in the City of Dallas
(2018-12-10)The conceptual framework for this research builds on Manuel Castells’s work to find the specific network configuration of actors, interests, and values that engage in their power-making strategies to operationalize a ... -
A CMOS SWITCHED CAPACITOR FILTER BASED POTENTIOMETRIC READOUT CIRCUIT FOR CHEMFET SENSOR
(2018-12-06)There are wide ranges of potentiometric sensors available for chemical sensing. The latest implementation of these sensors is CHEM resistors. In real time environment for an in-vivo application area, noise and power are ... -
A COMBINATORIAL APPROACH TO FAIRNESS TESTING OF MACHINE LEARNING MODELS
(2022-05-16)Machine Learning (ML) models could exhibit biased behavior, or algorithmic discrimination, resulting in unfair or discriminatory outcomes. The bias in the ML model could emanate from various factors such as the training ... -
A community assessment of food resources available to college students in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex
(2018-08-08)After exploring the limited research available on food insecurity among college students, the goal of this study was to add in-depth information on the resources available to college and university students in the Dallas-Fort ... -
A COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF CO2 EMISSION BETWEEN GASOLINE, ELECTRIC, AND HYBRID VEHICLES: A WELL-TO-WHEEL PERSPECTIVE USING AGENT-BASED MODELING
(2020-08-18)Road transports in the U.S. are almost entirely dependent on the consumption of fossil fuel. This high dependency on fossil fuel is significantly contributing to carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, one of the leading Green House ... -
