  • Gene expression of four carbonic anhydrase paralogs across the symbiotic states of the model temperate sea anemone, Anthopleura elegantissima (Brandt 1835)

    Creator:
    Meier, Emily K.
    Abstract:
    Anthropogenic CO₂ emissions are shifting the global climate equilibrium, causing widespread losses in biodiversity. Anthozoan cnidarians are some of the species most vulnerable to environmental change. Environmental stress causes corals and sea anemones to expel their endosymbiotic algae, which constitute a primary source of nutrition for some Anthozoa. Carbonic anhydrase...

  • The Effects of Language on Cognitive Flexibility and Related Properties of Executive Functioning

    Creator:
    Hildenbrand, Lena
    Abstract:
    In the literature, a controversy persists over whether speaking multiple languages may result in what has been referred to as a bilingual advantage that is advantages for executive functioning (EF) skills. While evidence in favor of such a has been reported, the reliability of these findings has been questioned. To...

  • Creating and Assessing Cozmo Behaviors for Expressing Emotion

    Creator:
    Chan, Lilian C.
    Abstract:
    As human-robot interaction becomes more commonplace, roboticists should understand how robot behaviors are perceived by people to avoid misunderstandings. In our lab, we are exploring the use of a Cozmo as an interactive, break-taking aid in workplace settings. Before our interactive aid can be released into the wild, we must...

  • Effects of Facial Tattoos on Perceptions of Facial Trustworthiness

    Creator:
    Landrus, Bryn E.
    Abstract:
    Background: Individuals rapidly infer character traits and behaviors through the process of facial perception. Perceptions of trustworthiness, accurate or not, completed by authorities in the criminal justice system may have implications for individuals suspected of crimes, including harsher or longer sentencing decisions. Objective: The present study concerned how the presence...

  • Sustainability of Concrete in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Chaimov, Hilary
    Abstract:
    Reducing the CO2 emitted by the production of cement can greatly reduce the carbon emissions attributable to the built industry. By specifying concrete mixes with lower global warming potentials (GWPs), structural engineers can reduce the carbon emissions of concrete used in the built industry. This thesis uses a cradle-to-gate life...

  • Alternate Methods for the Extraction and Measurement of Pore Solution in Fresh Concrete

    Creator:
    Biever, Joseph
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of the pore solution composition and pore solution resistivity can be helpful for determining the durability of concrete structures. Most notably, pore solution resistivity can be used in the calculation of the formation factor of concrete, which is a ratio of the electrical resistivities of concrete and its pore...

  • Decision-making Under Uncertainty: Interpretation and Use of Ranges Depicted in Bar Graphs by End Users and Test Users

    Creator:
    Chiou, Andrea C.
    Abstract:
    Though people generally seem to be able to interpret data, they are subject to errors and biases that are influenced by the format of the graphical visualization itself. The current study sought to assess whether individuals could interpret bar graphs with min/max range bars, whether they could use this information...

  • A Comparison and Analysis of Selected Holidays in Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States

    Creator:
    Matyeva, Alima
    Abstract:
    Through comparison and analysis of selected holidays in countries with significantly different features (Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and the United States), this study aims to gauge the impact of holiday celebrations in influencing cultural values in those countries studied. K. Zygulski’s classification system for holidays was applied to divide the holidays of...

  • Measuring Bubble Pressure in Glacier Ice

    Creator:
    Clonch, Cameron E.
    Abstract:
    Recent observations of tidewater glaciers find that the currently accepted model for predicting ice melt vastly underestimates observed melt rates. The release of pressurized air bubbles into the ocean from pores in the ice is one process that can amplify glacier melt. To incorporate this process into models, we need...

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...
