  • Plasma enhanced growth of carbon nanotubes

    Creator:
    Ford, Neil I.
    Abstract:
    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). A modified radio frequency (RF) parallel-plate plasma etching system serves as the growth reactor. The effects of process parameters, including temperature, pressure, and C2H2:NH3 ratio, are studied. CNTs are grown on glass substrates with Al underlayers and Ni...

  • Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

    Creator:
    Hughson, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...

  • The Effect of Temperature on the Survival of Chinook Eggs and Fry

    Creator:
    Teose, Maarika
    Abstract:
    Temperature data from above and below the Cougar Dam collected by the U.S. Geological Survey prior to the construction of the temperature control structure was analyzed to determine how the di®ering temperature regimes a®ect the growth and survival of threatened spring- run Chinook salmon. An ARIMA time-series model was used...

  • Active Control of Passive Dynamics for Ground Disturbance Rejection

    Creator:
    Koepl, Devin N.
    Abstract:
    We present a model for running that combines active control with passive dynamics, in an attempt to approach the economy and robustness of animal running. Our work is inspired by examples of guinea fowl encountering an unexpected drop in ground surface, with little a ect on their running gait. Previous...

  • Autonomous helicopter systems: design and implementation solutions

    Creator:
    Nguyen, John
    Abstract:
    Creating intelligent robotics is at the cutting edge of technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are of particular interest for surveillance applications. UAVs have the potential to provide quick and cheap aerial data that would be difficult to obtain by conventional means. UAVs also have the ability to navigate without being...
