For sensitive volumes (SV) of microelectronics with < 1 micrometer characteristic lengths in silicon, space particle energy deposition event magnitude and frequency have a strong dependence on the incident particle atomic number and kinetic energy, rather than average linear …
This dissertation analyzes a select group of contemporary films that can generally be categorized as European art cinema by focusing on how space, representation, and realism operate within them. The study concentrates on how these films utilize cinematic space as part of a more…
This project seeks to highlight the necessity for differential spatial critique within academic and utopian discourses by asking the question: “How can Henri Lefebvre’s The Production of Space help us understand Frederick Douglass’ history-changing escape from slavery, given the…

Particles trapped in the magnetosphere are naturally accelerated by the exchange of electromagnetic and kinetic energy, resulting in relativistic plasma populations. Through a number of processes, these particles can be scattered into the atmosphere and lost to interactions. Suc…
In the past thirty years the LGBTQ community has become increasingly studied within academia. However, it is only in the past decade that their spaces and places have begun to be examined. When one narrows this down even further to New South cities, practically nothing exists. T…
