  • Simulated and Experimental Characteristics of Analysis Techniques for ZrCuAlNi/AlOx/Al Metal-Insulator-Metal Tunnel Diodes

    Creator:
    Tan, Cheng
    Abstract:
    This project examines the results of current-voltage conduction mechanism analysis techniques simulated under assumed conduction conditions. Thermionic emission and Fowler-Nordheim tunneling conditions are simulated and analyzed. The resulting plots show how devices behave under different condition mechanisms. The effects of different conduction mechanisms on the results of various analysis techniques...

  • Dissecting DNA Damage Responses in Arabidopsis: A High-Throughput Sequencing Approach

    Creator:
    Brar, Anantnoor
    Abstract:
    A unique, permanent root-growth arrest phenotype was observed in UV-B irradiated Arabidopsis thaliana roots lacking the DNA damage response kinase ATR. Segregation analysis suggests the dependence of this phenotype on another, unidentified gene, termed ursu. High-throughput sequencing technologies were used to map and identify the causal ursu mutation. Illumina HiSeq...

  • The Location of the Neutral Axis in Wood Beams with Multiple Knots

    Creator:
    Voigt, Levi R.
    Abstract:
    In a homogenous and isotropic material, the location of the neutral axis coincides with the location of the centroid of the beam. Wood is anisotropic, meaning that it has different properties in different directions. It is also non-homogenous, meaning that the beam exhibits different properties at different locations throughout its...

  • Repetitive DNA profiles in Bembidion (Coleoptera : Carabidae) show variation in genomic architecture within and between closely related species

    Creator:
    Barton, Lindsey M.
    Abstract:
    The ribosomal cistron (rDNA cistron) is a tandemly repeated region in the genome that encodes for the necessary subunits to form ribosomes, complex molecules responsible for the assembly of amino acids into proteins. They are found within all cellular organisms, and evolve at relatively constant rates, making them ideal for...

    Creator:
    Darr, Courtney L.
    Abstract:
    Affection is one of the most fundamental needs of humans. The current study aimed at better understanding how affectionate communication positively influences others, specifically through prosociality. It was hypothesized that individuals who give or receive affection more frequently are more altruistic and tend to feel more empathy, love, and compassion...
