Spring 2012
The association between stimulant drug use and the presence of a psychotic disorder raises questions about causation. Substance-induced psychosis may differ etiologically from schizophrenia despite similar phenotypic presentation. It is possible that stimulant drug users who develop symptoms of...

A spectroscopic approach for inferring charcoal concentrations and fire history from lacustrine sediments
DownloadFall 2013
Current wildfire activity highlights the precarious ecological state of for- ests owing to the combined effects of climate change and management practices. Because the analysis of long-term fire frequency from sedimentary archives is critical to understanding fire dynamics, there is a continuous...

An Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopic Diagnostic Device for Characterization of Liquid-Liquid Systems and Phase Separation Detection in Emulsions
DownloadFall 2013
Rapid characterization of complex fluids, especially sensing emulsion stability, is crucial for many industrial applications, ranging from pharmaceutical industry to petroleum production. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful tool for electrical characterization of such...

Chiral Transition Metal Complexes under Resonance: Mechanism of a New Form of Chiral Raman Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2023
My PhD thesis primarily focuses on exploring chiroptical events and signatures of chiral transition metal complexes when they are under (near) resonance conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple chiroptical spectroscopic techniques were utilized, aided by theoretical calculations. These...

Continuous wave terahertz frequency spectroscopy and imaging for explosives detection and security screenings
DownloadFall 2011
Continuous-wave terahertz (THz) spectroscopy was performed on high explosive materials using the Firefly-THz optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine (HMX), cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (RDX), pentaerythritol-tetranitrate (PETN) and Composition-4 were scanned...

In rodents, stress and corticosteroids rapidly increase excitatory neurotransmission. During excitatory neurotransmission, glutamate concentrations are maintained by conversion of glutamine to glutamate. The hypothesis was that cortisol would alter human prefrontal glutamine or glutamate...

Development of a Mid-infrared Detection System for Real-time Measurements of Gas Phase Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylenes using a Tunable External Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser
DownloadSpring 2012
The chemical transformation of trace gases, including reactions that result in aerosol particle formation, as well as the composition of the atmosphere deeply influence air quality and Earth's global climate. Use of a simulation chamber to study smog formation is a common method to investigate...

Spring 2014
Several series of quaternary chalcogenides were synthesized by high temperature reactions and their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Differences in electronic structure were examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray absorption near-edge...
