  • The Cathelicidin Anti-microbial peptide gene alters the mouse gut microbiome

    Creator:
    Rouches, Miles V.
    Abstract:
    The gut microbiome influences human disease including Type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome and interacts with the innate immune system. The human cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (hCAMP), an important component of the innate immune system, and vitamin D and xanthohumol, a natural compound found in beer hops, regulate its expression....

  • I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo H.
    Abstract:
    The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

  • A Comprehensive Analysis of NCAA v. Alston and its Implications for the Collegiate Sports Model

    Creator:
    Buckner, Nya
    Abstract:
    The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the governing body for collegiate athletics and has regulated the activity of student-athletes with the primary goal of preserving amateurism. In recent years, the restrictions of this principle have been challenged in court. The Supreme Court case NCAA v. Alston (2021) challenged the...

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

  • Impact of Time and Temperature on Ex Vivo and Postmortem Diagnostic Assays

    Creator:
    Wachtel, Kaitlyn E.
    Abstract:
    Postmortem diagnostics play an important role in the ability to understand the cause of death of an animal. However, removal from oxygen supply, either by surgical excision or at death, leads to cell and tissue decomposition. Knowledge about factors impacting reliability of test results is extremely important for accurate diagnostics....

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of a Flat Wing with a Movable Front Flap at High Angles of Attack and Low Reynolds Numbers

    Creator:
    Drost, Kevin J.
    Abstract:
    Low Reynolds number airfoils have become of interest recently for applications on Micro-air Vehicles (MAVs). Airfoils at low Reynolds numbers and high angles of attack are known to be unstable due to low lift to drag ratios. This study investigates the effect of a movable leading edge flap on the...

  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • Decoding EEG Signals to Detect and Classify Hand Movement

    Creator:
    McGrath, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have recently gained attention to classify associated hand movement. This is particularly useful for amputees with prostatic hands or people who are unable to move their hands voluntarily. Among the decoding algorithms used to classify hand movements are support vector machines and multilayer perceptron networks. In this...

  • The Use of Fractal-Like Bifurcating Flow Channels for Biological Targeted Cooling

    Creator:
    Stottlemyre, Wyatt
    Abstract:
    In the wake of climate change, the risk of heat related illnesses has continuously increased over the past several decades. While thermal management solutions have continued to improve, there is a need for efficient cooling systems that conform with the human body. This study combines the solutions from fractal-like flow...

  • The Influence of Gas Extraction on Bubble Dynamics

    Creator:
    Juarez, Corey D.
    Abstract:
    A new thermal management method for hotspots on microprocessors is under development that employs confined pool boiling with vapor extraction at pre-determined nucleation sites. Extraction is accomplished by locating a vacuum chamber constructed out of a glass tube and a hydrophobic membrane directly above a nucleation site. In order to...
