Diplomatic Practices of the U.S. & China: A Comparative Analysis of Aid Projects in Angola & Nigeria (2001 – 2014)
(2020)Progressing into the 21st century, the U.S.-China relationship is under increasing tension. The resulting policies exhibited by the U.S. & China in Angola and Nigeria are reflective of how world powers approach statecraft ... -
Discrepancy between role expectations and job descriptions: the impact on stress and job satisfaction
(2011)This study’s purpose is to identify the difference between formal job descriptions and true job expectations (job discrepancy), assess its frequency, and identify its impact to the workplace. This study will explain the ... -
Discrete Gaussian Sampling for Low-Power Devices
Sampling from the discrete Gaussian probability distribution is used in lattice-based cryptosystems. A need for faster and memory-efficient samplers has become a necessity for improving the performance of such cryptosystems. ... -
Distributed agent management in a parallel simulation and analysis environment
This thesis presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of adding features of automatic distributed injection, diffusion, merger, and termination to reactive agents in a parallel simulation and analysis environment. ... -
Distributed Diverging Topic Models: A Novel Algorithm for Large Scale Topic Modeling in Spark
In their 2001 work Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Blei, Ng, and Jordan proposed the generative model of the same name that has since become the basis for most research in the field of topic modeling. The model overcame many ... -
Do I Need a PHD to Vote: A Qualitative and Quantitative Study
(2022)Throughout history, U.S ballots have been designed by the most educated and sophisticated. Research shows that even the most educated individuals do not possess the tools and knowledge necessary to understand many ballots. ... -
Dreaming of the Great Migration
Dreaming of the Great Migration is a hybrid of literary fiction, poetry, images and familial interviews that intersects and fills the space in between my families’ migration story and the imaginative and creative characters ... -
Dutch Boats
It began with a painting, a painting of a boat with waves that rolled off the canvas and over my body and carried me backwards in time. I washed ashore on the riverbanks of a small town in 1840s Netherlands, where one ... -
Dynamic load balancing in MASS
(2013-11-14)<bold>Dynamic Load Balancing</bold> (DLB) in Multi-agent Spatial Simulation (MASS) library is a thread-based load-balancing algorithm that calculates the CPU load, per thread, based on the computational time spent by CPU, ... -
Eat This Book: User-centered research and software design using the information diet metaphor to examine media consumption and design an ambient technology display for stashes of to-be-read ebooks
(2013-07-25)There are widespread concerns about how changes in media and technologies are affecting people's media habits. Clay Johnson (2012) proposes using the metaphor of an "information diet" to consider this as a health issue, ... -
Effects of Peer Feedback on Password Strength
This thesis is a study on the effects of peer-feedback on a user’s password strength. Passwords are a common sight in everyday use of an average end user. Text-based passwords are heavily relied upon when it comes to user ... -
Electronic Waste Recycling Programs in the United States: A Comparative Analysis
(2014)Proper recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) allows reuse of finite resources and prevents toxic materials in e-waste from causing harm to humans and the environment. The United States is the only Organization for Economic ... -
