JAMES WILLIAMS AND THE LITERARY AND ARCHIVAL CONSTRUCTION OF SLAVERY

Idris, Nazua

In this dissertation, I argue for decolonizing nineteenth-century British literary studies from the ground up, encompassing the curriculum, archives, scholarly textual editing, and pedagogical practices in high school and university settings. My project turns to James Williams’s A Narrative of Events, since the First o...

The Game Within the Game

Hoffman, Shekinah

Harassment remains a pervasive reality for many women in the workplace, yet few explicitly label their experiences as such. Instead, women often adopt alternative labels or avoid labeling altogether--a phenomenon feminist scholars call “non-labeling.” The non-labeling process, in which women make sense of and choose no...

Understanding the epidemiology of Lyme disease through multiple data sources

Schwartz, Amy

Background: Lyme disease (LD) is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the United States. The number of cases continues to grow, and risk is expanding outward from historically endemic areas, highlighting the importance of surveillance. While entomological surveillance provides important information regard...

Linker design for f-Element hybrid materials chemistry

Katuwana Arachchige, Ashanthi Kumari

Coordination polymers (CPs) and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are diverse classes of hybrid materials with tunable structures and properties. Compared to transition metal-based systems, rare earth element (REE) and uranyl-based CPs and MOFs remain underexplored yet represent an intriguing class of materials owing to...

The species of surrealism

Conway, Tove Lilith

Through an interdisciplinary exploration of short stories, poetry, drawings, paintings, and design patents, this dissertation examines how select surrealist women modeled progressive representations of human and nonhuman species. Their hybrid taxonomies extend beyond evolutionary theory and the surrealist uncanny, offe...

Interpretable explanatory item response models with machine learning

Zhong, Xiaoting

Educational assessment increasingly requires models that are not only accurate, but also interpretable and fair across diverse groups of learners. Traditional psychometric models, including item response theory (IRT) and explanatory item response models (EIRMs), provide a principled framework for modeling person- and i...

Decision-Making in Visual Inverted Pendulum Balancing: Effects of Age, Effects of Manual Interfaces, and Transfer to Postural Balance

Park, Hannah E

Postural control is often portrayed as largely reflexive and automatic, yet a broad body of work shows that upright stance also recruits higher-level, decision-like processes. These cognitive influences emerge alongside multisensory contributions from vestibular, somatosensory/proprioceptive, and visual systems, and th...

Activation, reduction, and halogen exchange

Ćorković, Andrej

Boron trihalides (BX3, where X = Cl, Br, I) have long been studied for their exceptional reactivity. As adept Lewis acids, BX3 can function as strong electrophiles that can coordinate with many molecules. This reactivity is credited to boron’s empty p orbital, resulting in BX3 being potent electron acceptors. With this...

Transfer learning for high-dimensional stochastic regression

Yu, Ting-Hung

In practice, the source datasets may bear a wide spectrum of similarity to the target dataset, from enjoying an identical data-generating process (DGP) to having a dissimilar DGP. However, incorporating weakly informative or even dissimilar source datasets may lead to negative transfer, resulting in poorer performance...
