Risk and Reward Perception and Risk-Taking: Applicability, Relationship, and Implication in Construction Safety

Creator:: Azeez, Mohammed N.
Abstract:: While safety improvements have been made in the construction industry, construction still experiences one of the highest numbers of fatalities annually compared to other industries in the United States with over 970 fatalities in 2016 alone. This number of fatalities drives researchers and safety managers to improve safety measures and...

Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

Creator:: Embleton, Clark A.
Abstract:: Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

Kit Ligand Effect on Growth of Bovine Follicles in Culture and the Effect of Kit Ligand on the Function of Theca Cells

Creator:: Jachter, Shaina L.
Abstract:: Ovarian steroidogenesis is heavily controlled by the formation and function of the theca cells. A condition known as polycystic ovarian disease in humans and cystic ovarian disease in cattle is due to abnormal steroidogenesis. Knowing more about theca cell formation and function can aid in gaining further knowledge about polycystic...

The Identification of Common Environmental and Demographic Associations for Tick-Borne Disease Risk and Surveillance Efforts in the United States

Creator:: Ashraf, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: Ixodes scapularis (e.g. blacklegged tick) is a hard-bodied tick considered endemic to certain regions within the United States. This species is considered a primary vector of Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi), anaplasmosis (Anaplasma phagocytophilum) and babesiosis (Babesia microti). Each of these tick-borne diseases represent a growing health concern within the nation...

An Integrated Conceptual Framework for Sustainable Public Housing

Creator:: Sharafeddin, Asma
Abstract:: Public housing (PH) provides a substantial portion of the housing in both developed and less developed countries, and the demand for it is increasing. The PH projects, however, are facing many challenges that are affecting their performance and cause their failures. The United States has demolished large portions of their...

Geometry of Locomotion

Creator:: Ramasamy, Suresh
Abstract:: Many animals and robots move through the world by coupling cyclical changes in shape called gaits to an interaction with the environment. Because mobility is an important aspect of such robots, a key metric when evaluating design and performance of mobile robots is the efficiency of their optimal gaits. The...

A Computational Framework for Resilience-Informed Design

Creator:: Hulse, Daniel E.
Abstract:: It is desirable for complex engineered systems to perform missions efficiently and economically, even when these missions' complex, variable, long-term operational profiles make it likely for hazards to arise. It is thus important to design these systems to be resilient so that they will actively prevent and recover from hazards...

Investigating the Paleoseismic Potential of Small, Southern Cascadia Lakes

Creator:: Ross, Ann Elizabeth Morey
Abstract:: Marine and coastal sedimentary archives show that the Cascadia Subduction Zone can generate great earthquakes of ~M9, most recently in 1700 CE, yet we still know little of the impacts of these events inland of the Pacific coast. Inland lakes have recently been exploited for their use as paleoseismic records...

Multiphase Flow and Transport in Porous Media with Phase Transition at Multiple Scales: Modeling, Numerical Analysis, and Simulation

Creator:: Shin, Choah
Abstract:: In this dissertation we consider two application specific flow and transport models in porous media at multiple scales: 1) methane gas transport models for hydrate formation and dissociation in the subsurface under two-phase conditions, and 2) coupled flow and biomass-nutrient model for biofilm growth in complex geometries with biofilm, and...
