Same-Sex Marriage: A Constitutional and Social Debate

Corning, Hannah

The debate about same-sex marriage is fraught with emotion, often making fruitful discussion of the issue virtually impossible. In this project, I distill the important points of contention both for and against same-sex ...

Sample size determination for Emax model, equivalence / non-inferiority test and drug combination in fixed dose trials.

Wang, Jie, 1977-

Sample size determination is one of the most important aspects in clinical designs. Careful selection of appropriate sample sizes can not only save economic and human resources, but also improve model performance and ...

Saudi Arabia and the United States' plans for Middle East defense.

Bowers, William J.

The Dwight D. Eisenhower administration's Cold War concerns shaped the United States' policy in the Middle East during the 1950s. Relations with Saudi Arabia proved critical as the U.S. pursued its interests in the region. ...

Scale dependencies in modeled fire behavior and effects in a southern U.S. grassland ecosystem.

Yao, Jian, 1984-

FARSITE models were originally developed for the western grass and forests ecosystems thus predictive accuracy as a function of the scale of input data in southern grasslands is relatively unknown. To test predictive ...

Scenes From the City

Wetzel, Benjamin James.

Congregationalist minister and editor Lyman Abbott (1835-1922) is best known as a popularizer of modernist theology and as a representative of the Social Gospel movement. Less well understood are Abbott’s political opinions ...

Search for anomalous production of photon + jets + missing transverse energy in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector.

Hewamanage, Samantha K.

A model-independent signature-based search for physics beyond the Standard Model is performed in the photon + jets + missing transverse energy channel in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV ...

Search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the diphoton final state in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV using the CDF II detector.

Bland, Karen Renee. (, )

We present a search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into a pair of photons produced in pp ̄ collisions with a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated ...

A search for the standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson.

Frank, Martin J., 1983-

We present a search for a standard model Higgs boson produced in association with a W boson using data collected with the CDF II detector from proton/antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The search ...

A Search Strategy Using a Hamming-Distance Oracle

Maurer, Peter M.

The objective of the algorithm described in this report is to optimally guess a hidden binary string based on queries to an oracle where the length of the string is known beforehand. A C++ version of the algorithm is given ...

"Sed rudibus et indoctis" : women, orthodoxy, and the Rosebery Rolle Manuscript.

Gross, Sarah Elizabeth. (, )

This thesis discusses one manuscript of Richard Rolle, the Hermit of Hampole. It asserts that Rolle’s Prose Psalter was compiled specifically for a woman’s private devotion and thus sheds light on both the authors and the ...

An SEGF study of the Rh(001) surface.

Mastin, Mark R.

A self-consistent study of Rh(001) has been performed using the surface embedded Green function method. Calculations have been performed by embedding a three-layer slab onto a bulk rhodium substrate. The calculated work ...

Seismic tomographic imaging reveals possible lithospheric erosion beneath Trans-Pecos Texas and Southeastern New Mexico.

Rockett, Carrie V. (, )

Results from the 1999-2001 La Ristra array revealed a fast seismic velocity anomaly beneath the Rio Grande rift, attributed to a lithospheric “drip” into the mantle, perhaps due to edge-driven convection. To investigate ...

Seismo-lineament analysis of selected earthquakes in the Tahoe-Truckee area, California and Nevada.

Lindsay, Ryan D. (, )

Focal mechanism solutions from 29 M≥3 earthquakes recorded between 1966 and late 2009 in the Tahoe-Truckee area, California and Nevada, were used to establish a preliminary spatial correlation between these earthquakes and ...

Seismo-lineament analysis of the Malibu Beach quadrangle, Southern California.

Seidman, Lauren E.

The Santa Monica Mountains are a young, structurally active mountain range within southern California. The purpose of this study was to map seismogenic faults within the Malibu Beach quadrangle. Using available earthquake ...
