Science Education Through Comics: Improving Understanding of Current Marine Environmental Issues

Creator:: Schwarz, Zale
Abstract:: According to a 2017 Pew Research Study, 44% of adults in America say that they do not feel informed enough about science to understand news and new discoveries discussed on the media (Funk et al. 2019). This is concerning, because adults are not just passive consumers of media; among other...

Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

Creator:: Knowlton, John
Abstract:: The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

Metabolomics analysis identifies effects of nitrate and exercise in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Creator:: Wolfe, Mandy
Abstract:: Objectives: Nitrate, found abundantly in green leafy vegetables, may improve exercise performance by increasing the availability and utilization of metabolic fuels that require less oxygen for energy production. However, it is not known if this performance effect occurs at the peak exercise intensity. We hypothesize that supplemental nitrate treatment will...

Economic Analysis of the Potential for Nuclear Energy Investment in Eastern Europe

Creator:: van de Lindt, Nelson
Abstract:: This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the impacts of nuclear energy on the economy and energy security of select European countries. While previous literature has identified a connection between nuclear energy and economic growth, this study focuses on assessing the comparative effects of nuclear energy, measured by operable...

Wireless Multi-Sensor Patch for Wind Turbine Impact Detection

Creator:: Wilson, Calder
Abstract:: Bird and bat collisions with wind turbines are a problem that needs to be better quantified for its impact to be fully understood. This thesis documents portions of the design of a sensor patch module for use on wind turbines blades to detect impacts caused by birds and bats. This...

Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone: How Television Gives a Window into the Fears of American Society

Creator:: Santisteven, Alyssa
Abstract:: Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone have each left their mark on popular culture. Charlie Brooker and Rod Serling created television shows with macabre and imaginative concepts and brought them to the small screen. “This is like something straight out of The Twilight Zone!” has become a common phrase since...

Black Friday Pricing Behavior at Walmart

Creator:: Elsbree, Claire
Abstract:: Black Friday is the biggest day of spending in the United States. In 2020, consumers spent $9 billion on Black Friday alone, a 21.6% increase from the previous year (Zaki). Extensive research has been done on the behalf of stores on what motivates consumers to spend large amounts of money...

Investigating Potential Protective Mechanisms Against Long-Term Blue Light Damage

Creator:: Kumar, Rujul
Abstract:: Despite the prominence of LEDs in our society, we have limited knowledge pertaining to their long-term effects. These seemingly white LEDs have a large blue light component to them. Recent results have shown that Drosophila living in 12 hrs. of blue light and 12 hrs. of darkness live substantially shorter...

The Effect of Riluzole on P2X7 and EAAT2 Expression by Inducible Neural Progenitor Cell (iNPC)-derived Astrocytes

Creator:: Sy, Kevin
Abstract:: Although it is the first drug approved for usage to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), riluzole’s mechanism of action is unknown and its therapeutic quality is hampered by its relatively short window of effectiveness. P2X7 is a purine receptor found in astrocytes and other cells, which increases calcium concentrations within...

Surface Modifications for Greater Cycle Life and Energy Density in Lithium-Ion Batteries

Creator:: Holstun, Tucker M.
Abstract:: Significant challenges remain before lithium-ion batteries can support the decarbonization of the transportation and power sectors required to avert catastrophic climate change. The energy density of these batteries must be increased, while decreasing the price, and maintaining or increasing their lifespan. To improve the practical energy density of existing materials,...
