Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the influence of multisensory processes and sensorimotor integration on motor performance
… visuomotor input. Study three employed a novel force-matching motor paradigm and median nerve SEPs. Results indicated differential changes in the N18 SEP peak response after performing the novel force-matching task, suggesting a reduction in olivary-cerebellar-M1 inhibition. Finally, study 4 …

Development and validation of tools to examine neural correlates and constructs associated with sensorimotor integration
… and worse upper limb proprioception. Visuomotor force matching relies on accurate proprioception, but has not been assessed in those with SCNP. Thus, somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) amplitude changes in response to a novel force matching tracking task (FMTT) were compared to a motor tracing …

Predicting the Hydration Free Energy of Small Alkanes and Alcohols from Custom, Electronic Structure-Based Force Fields
… computations of quantum mechanical (QM) forces and classical simulations based on these forces, I investigate models to predict several properties of solutes and solutions. This dissertation is a collection of projects exemplifying methods used to gain insight into chemical systems. </p> …

The effects of force level and force direction on force discrimination and isometric tracking performance
… was used to examine the effects of variation in force magnitude, force direction, and direction of target movement upon tracking performance. A contralateral force-matching procedure was also employed to assess the effects of variation in force level and force direction upon force discrimination …

Studies of and methods for electronic properties of large chemical systems
… diatomic differential overlap (NDDO) methods as force fields for liquid water. Using force matching, we design a reparameterized NDDO model and find that it qualitatively reproduces the experimental radial distribution function of water, as well as various monomer, dimer, and bulk properties that …

First Principles-Based Interatomic Potentials for Modeling the Body-Centered Cubic Metals V, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W
Accurate large-scale materials simulations depend crucially on high-quality classical interatomic potentials. This study constructs embedded-atom method (EAM) and modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) interatomic potentials for the body-centered cubic (bcc) metals V, Nb, Ta, Mo, and W from data …
