  • A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

    Creator:
    Kash, Laurel Renee
    Abstract:
    Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...

  • Development and disease of opakapaka (Pristiopomoides filamentosus) larvae in culture

    Creator:
    Keafer, Briana
    Abstract:
    Opakapaka (Pristipomoides filamentosus) is a snapper (family Lutjanidae) native to the waters around Hawaii. Recent population declines of this commercially important species have increased interest in the culture of this fish. Survival of this fish through the larval period in culture has been consistently low, usually not exceeding 2%. The...

  • Intercalation, exfoliation, and nanocomposites of layered inorganic compounds

    Creator:
    Sukpirom, Nipaka
    Abstract:
    The melt intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) between layers of MoO₃ and MPS3 (M=Mn,Cd) is obtained by heating the ground mixture and LiₓMoO₃, KₓMn₁-ₓ/₂PS₃, or KCd₁-ₓ/₂PS₃. The products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Below the melting temperature of PEO (66 °C), intercalation rates and yields are low. By...

  • Large-strain softening of aluminum in shear at elevated temperature

    Creator:
    Alhajeri, Saleh N.
    Abstract:
    Pure aluminum deformed in torsion (shear) at elevated temperatures reaches a broad "peak" stress and then undergoes about a 17% decrease in flow stress with deformation to roughly 1-2 equivalent uniaxial strain. Beyond this strain the flow stress is approximately constant. The sources for this softening are unclear. The suggested...

  • PedVac - a graphical interface and front-end to a parallel pedestrian evacuation simulator

    Creator:
    Vimawala, Ankush V.
    Abstract:
    The World Trade Center disaster brought into focus, tragically, the need for well-designed evacuation systems in modem buildings. Today, designing an efficient evacuation system has become an integral part of designing large buildings. Simulation software enables an evacuation system to be evaluated. Modern day buildings, whether airports, auditoriums, public office...
