Creator:: Howard, Jay F.
Abstract:: The Brain Research through Advanced Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) initiative seeks to understand how ensembles of neurons create neural networks. The initiative has spurred the pursuit of developing novel experimental tools for investigating how individual neurons propagate electrical signals (action potentials) to produce ensemble behavior. Classical techniques to measure the internal...

Creator:: Mulder, Gregory S.
Abstract:: Physics problems that require integration, such as finding the center of mass of an object or finding the electric field from a continuous distribution of charge, are one type of problem that is difficult for introductory physics students to solve. These problems require students to define a coordinate system in...

Creator:: Barras, Faye Lyn
Abstract:: This thesis presents the results of quantum-mechanical first principles calculations of optical, electronic and mechanical properties of organic molecules and solids, which have diverse potential applications such as photovoltaics, flexible electronics, and mechanical catalysts with applications in force sensors and self-healing materials. The electronic and optoelectronic properties of organic thin...

Creator:: Almadhoun, Eman
Abstract:: In computer science, learning abstract fundamental programming concepts requiring students to understand memory management can be very difficult and lead to misunderstandings that carry on into advanced topics. This is especially true in data structures with abstract data types. Understanding how novice students think and reason about data structures is...
