What’s Up Doc? A Review and Analysis of English Language Documentaries on Contemporary Graffiti and Street Art
(Street art & Urban Creativity Journal, 2018-01)Over the past four decades, most large urban setting around the world have experienced an increase in graffiti and street art. One of the consequences of the activity is an attempt to interpret this phenomenon. -
Instructing and Mentoring Ex-Con University Students in Departments of Criminology and Criminal Justice
(Tayloe & Francis Group, 2017-11-02)Recognizing the growing presence of university students who are also ex-cons, this article discusses the challenges of working with such individuals and offers practical suggestions for ways to enhance such interactions. ... -
Net Neutrality: What is it and is it Necessary?
(ISSA Journals, 2018-07)The net neutrality debate's argument revolves around whether high- speed broadband services provided by ISPs such as Verizon to content providers such as Netflix need regulating in order to prevent bias based on price ... -
Lack of Oversight and Credentialing Process for Digital Forensic Investigators
(ISACA JOURNAL, 2018-08-28)Despite the phenomenal growth in the digital world and crimes committed using digital techniques and tools, there are literally no foundational requirements to perform digital forensic investigations. While there is a slew ... -
Statistical Unigram Analysis for Source Code Repository
Unigram is a fundamental element of n-gram in natural language processing. However, unigrams collected from a natural language corpus are unsuitable for solving problems in the domain of computer programming ... -

(American Counseling Association, 2019-06-05)By way of introducing ourselves as the co-authors of this article and providing a little context for what follows, John Donahue is a clinical psychologist, an assistant professor at the University of Baltimore, and a ... -
Idiographically-determined versus standard absorption periods in alcohol administration studies
(Wiley, 2010-03-10)BACKGROUND Effects of alcohol vary depending on blood alcohol level and limb. Some researchers use standard absorption periods (SAPs) to determine when post-drinking experimental protocols should begin. Others use an ... -
Women's sexual arousal: Effects of high alcohol dosages and self-control instructions
(Elsevier, 2011-03-23)The basic relationship between alcohol and women’s sexual arousal – especially genital arousal –received little research attention for nearly 30 years (e.g. Wilson & Lawson, 1978) until very recently (e.g. George et al., ... -

(Springer Nature, 2012-02-14)Rates of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, vary across ethnic minority groups, yet few studies have evaluated sexual risk behaviors and their psychological correlates to determine if risk and protective factors ... -
Frustrated total internal reflection and critical coupling in a thick plasmonic grating with narrow slits
(AIP Publishing, 2014-05)We demonstrate the possibility of critical coupling through frustrated total internal reflection in a thick plasmonic grating below the first diffraction order. Differently from conventional approaches relying on the ... -
Frozen light in a near-zero index metasurface
(American Physical Society, 2014-08-07)We discuss the nature of leaky modes with large phase velocity and an effective refractive index and group velocity near zero in planar arrays of subwavelength dielectric or metallic spheres far from their resonances. Large ... -
Field localization and enhancement of phase-locked second- and third-order harmonic generation in absorbing semiconductor cavities
(American Physical Society, 2009-10-26)We predict and experimentally observe the enhancement by three orders of magnitude of phase mismatched second and third harmonic generation in a GaAs cavity at 650 and 433 nm, respectively, well above the absorption edge. ... -
Field localization and enhancement near the Dirac point of a finite defectless photonic crystal
(American Physical Society, 2013-02-26)We use a rigorous electromagnetic approach to show the existence of strongly localized modes in the stop band of a linear, two-dimensional, finite photonic crystal near its Dirac point. At normal incidence, the crystal ... -
Experimental study of Bloch vector analysis in nonlinear, finite, dissipative systems
