(2022-04-27)This dissertation examines the Black pursuit of equality in the US capital during the postemancipation period. It places the interracial alliance developed by prewar political abolitionists in the Colored Conventions ... -
Lexical-semantic organization at measured by repeated word association in children with hearing loss
(2022-04-27)Vocabulary knowledge drives academic and social success. Current literature suggests that children with hearing loss have poorer vocabulary organization in comparison to their peers with normal hearing. The current study ... -
Genealogists’ perspectives on the use of investigative genetic genealogy
(2022-04-26)A new investigative tool, investigative genetic genealogy (IGG), combines traditional investigative techniques, DNA, and genealogy to identify the perpetrators of sexual assaults, exonerate falsely accused individuals, and ... -
Fabrication and study of photoanodes for applications in solar energy conversion
(2022-04-24)Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are cheaper alternatives to conventional, silicon-based photovoltaic cells for the conversion of solar energy into electricity. In this work, the use of mixed valence tin oxide (Sn3O4) ... -
The impacts of urbanization on wildlife in North America's largest urban forest
(2022-04-25)Urbanization endangers more species in the United States than any other human activity as it dramatically modifies natural landscapes, fragments previously intact habitats, and is spreading rapidly. Species with specialized ... -
