A 10.6 micron semiconductor modulator, 1970
Item — Call number MU Thesis Gro
Identifier: b2088223
Abstract
A device is described which yields an inexpensive and simple to construct modulator, which is used in conjunction with a CO₂ laser. Results of using a germanium PIN diode to modulate the 10.6 μm radiation are given. An attempt to measure deflection of the laser beam using the modulator is also described. Finally measurements of percentage modulation versus position of the laser beam are presented in a series of curves. The results of the experiments show that this...

A backpropagation scheme with and without boosting, 1999
Item — Call number MU Thesis Pro
Identifier: b2088058
Abstract
Neural networks, simply stated, are machines that learn. A neural network consisting of several neurons, which are modeled after the human brain, uses synaptic weights, or interneuron connection strengths, to store acquired knowledge, which can be used in the future. One form of neural networks, feedforward networks, uses multilayer perceptrons, which are layered sets of neurons. This type of network contains an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Further, these...

A common thread : American national identity prior to the Revolutionary War, 1763-1776, 2001
Item — Call number MU Thesis Gra
Identifier: b2088856
Prologue [excerpts]
The success of the American revolution was both confounding and astounding .... More incredible than the event was the motivation. Never before had an overarching cause of revolution been so steadfastly tied to individual liberty.... National identity was the facilitating cause that held together all other reasons and justifications for the pursuit of this liberty. Without a firm belief in who colonial Americans were as a nation, such a war would never have been fought, let alone won....

A communication-based perspective of the construction of social reality of women in non-traditional occupations, 1999
Item — Call number MU Thesis Ros
Identifier: b2271054
Abstract
This research seeks to conceptualize how the communication messages that women received as they entered the workplace during the tumultuous seventies have impacted their own self-images, their perceptions of reality and, by extension, their lives. The aim of this research is not just to provide an overview of the lives of women in male-dominated professions nor to encourage young women to enter non-traditional occupations. Rather, this study seeks to recognize and understand the reasons...

A comparative analysis of legacy migration solutions, 2008
Item — Call number MU Thesis ORe
Identifier: b2090066
Abstract
Despite the introduction of many advanced programming languages and the escalating cost of developing programs in COBOL, development of COBOL source code continues throughout the business community. Eventually, the cost of maintaining this code will be prohibitive. Migrating software systems from COBOL based implementations to modern programming implementations will be necessary. The migration of legacy systems involves some risk which can be mitigated by selection of the appropriate...

A comparative gender analysis of high school chemistry textbooks : a 21st century perspective, 2020
Item — Call number MU Thesis Sei
Identifier: b7930355
Abstract
Textbooks are a fundamental part of classroom instruction. Over 90% of teachers have reported using textbooks in some form, and exposure to textbook material can influence student's [sic] self-concept. However, the use of illustrations that only represent one group prevents diverse role modeling. This, it follows that the provision of diverse illustrations increases student capacity to develop self-concept. For example, highlighting female illustrations in...

A comparative study of African American identity creation in antebellum New Jersey, 2015
Item — Call number MU Thesis Anc
Identifier: b7526648
Introduction [excerpt]
My thesis is an account of resistance by African Americans through structural inequalities and pervasive racism in early New Jersey. With a thorough understanding and explantion of a structural racism, I have been able to explain a portion of the experiences felt by the 19th century African American community of Fair Haven. This experience can be largely understood by analyzing the racial and class differences between the economically dominant community and the less wealthy. Members of...

A comparison of the upper bound to the lower bound of the doubly ionized carbon ion, 1972
Item — Call number MU Thesis Gue
Identifier: b2088518
Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to compare the upper bound of the ground state energy of doubly ionized carbon (C⁺⁺) to the lower bound obtained by reduced density matrices.
To make a fair comparison, the number of orbitals used in both is the same, namely ten. The upper bound is obtained by use of the standard Rayleigh-Ritz Variational Principle which states ⟨Ψ|H|Ψ⟩ ≥ Eo(H) were Eo(H) is the exact ground state energy, H is the Hamiltonian, and Ψ is the trial wave function.

A correlational study of selected New Jersey's nonpublic school leaders' knowledge of special education laws and policies, 2024
Item — Call number MU Thesis Itw
Identifier: b7931989
Abstract
Access to public funds aiding parentally placed nonpublic school students with special needs, is fundamental to creating comprehensive programs and providing services when free appropriate public education (FAPE) is not an issue. This correlational study sought to assess nonpublic school leaders' knowledge and awareness of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B (IDEA) and New Jersey’s Chapter 192/193 Auxiliary and Remedial policies. The study looked at factors that...
