  • Perceiving Big Five Traits Accurately at True Zero Acquaintance

    Creator:
    Brown, Jill A.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the accuracy of trait judgments at zero acquaintance and after five minutes of interaction. Thirty-five undergraduates judged the neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness of four to six others whom they did not know. Participants then interacted in one-on-one conversations with each target for five minutes....

  • Design, Construction, and Evaluation of a Scaled-Up Air-Cathode Microbial Fuel Cell

    Creator:
    Fulton, Nathan J.
    Abstract:
    Presented in this report is an investigation of the design, construction, and operation of scaled-up cloth electrode assembly (CEA) air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). 40 mL MFCs were designed and constructed using either single or double CEAs with carbon cloth electrodes. The MFCs were evaluated using acetate media, municipal wastewater,...

  • Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....

  • Characterization of soil carbon and nitrogen pools following a decade of detritus manipulation in a temperate coniferous forest

    Creator:
    Wilson, Lea I.
    Abstract:
    Soil organic matter (SOM) is the result of the balance between decomposition and incorporation of detritus from both above and below ground sources into the soil. It composes only a fraction of the soil by mass but it is one of the most critical components. The Detritus Input and Removal...

  • The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

    Creator:
    Lambert, Miriam
    Abstract:
    In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...

  • A multi-faceted method for validating emotional intelligence

    Creator:
    Reyna, Nicholas R.
    Abstract:
    The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) purports to assess emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to successfully identify and manage emotions. To test the validity of this claim, 21 students took the MSCIET along with a several other performance measures and personality scales, and their scores were correlated. The MSCEIT...

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Drew W.
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is one of the first, most important responses of the immune system when presented with infection and is mediated primarily by eicosanoids and cytokines. The goal of this research was to generate monoclonal antibodies against murine IL17C, a poorly characterized cytokine involved in inflammation and linked to inflammatory conditions....
