Race/ethnicity And The Attitudes Of College Students Toward Women In Policing
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2007-09-17)The attitudes toward women in policing were compared among college students from the three racial/ethnic groups of African American, Hispanic, and White. Because of the limited literature available, this research explored ... -
Racial Disparities And Capital Sentencing As Perceived By Criminology And Criminal Justice Students
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2011-07-14)The purpose of this study is to examine the difference of perceptions of criminology and criminal justice (CRCJ) male students in comparison with their female counterparts on possible race factor in death penalty sentencing. ... -
Racial Disparities in Vascular Function:The Role of Oxidative Stress
(2018-05-04)Hypertension disproportionately affects the black population, contributing to a greater impact of cardiovascular disease in these individuals. While multiple factors underlie the development of hypertension in this population, ... -
Racial Disparity And The Crack Cocaine Federal Sentencing Guidelines
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2013-03-20)Racial disparities throughout the Federal Prison System are perhaps more apparent today than ever largely due to the fact that people are becoming increasingly cognizant of disproportionate sentencing for various types of ... -
Racial Disparity in Cardiovascular Disease and Oxidative Stress in African American Women
(2018-08-10)ABSTRACT Several studies have demonstrated that African Americans (AA) exhibit elevations in systemic oxidative stress compared to Caucasian Americans (CA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) have been identified ... -
Rack Level Study of Hybrid Cooled Servers Using Warm Water Cooling with Variable Pumping for Centralized Coolant System
(2017-05-24)As the worldwide demand for the data centers grows, so does the size and load placed on data centers which leads to the applied constraints on power and space available to the operator. Cooling power consumption is a major ... -
Radar Sensor Networks: Waveform Design, Mimo And Compressive Sensing
(Electrical Engineering, 2012-04-11)In this dissertation, we have studied totally eight topics which are focused on but not limited to radar sensor networks (RSN) from a signal processing perspective. We propose the definitions of ZCZ/LCZ (Zero Correlation ... -

(2021-05-05)The following dissertation examines the activities of French radical migrants within the United States from 1850-1900. This dissertation illustrates that studying French migration highlights the interconnectedness and ... -
Rainfall induced distress in low volume pavements
Annual expenses of distresses caused by volume change of expansive soils induce significant financial burden on maintenance authorities. The problems occur as the expansive soils within the unsaturated zone of the soil ... -
Rainfall Simulation for Investigating Hydrologic Responses to Storm Characteristics and Facilitating Frequency Analysis
(2019-08-06)Hydrologic and Hydraulic practices depend on the characterization of extreme precipitation that is rare in nature. Despite the advancement in sensing technology, the observation record of extreme rainfall with good ... -
RAINFALL-INDUCED SLOPE FAILURE – AN EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
(2021-12-16)Globally, slope failures cause substantial death tolls and economic loss. Embankments constructed on high plasticity clay are vulnerable to cyclic swelling and shrinkage when subjected to climate. Thus, over time, soil ... -
Ral Interacting Protein (Ralbp1): Linking Glutathione Conjugate Transport To Oxidative Stress Defenses And Signaling Pathways
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2008-08-08)The glutathione-conjugate transporter protein DNP-SG ATPase was demonstrated to be identical to the independently cloned Ral-effector, Ralbp1. Glutathione-conjugate transport is linked to substrate-stimulated ATPase activity, ... -
