Abstract:: The problem of footstep level resolution indoor path tracking and gait velocity lacks a good solution. The current solutions are either prohibitively expensive [4], extremely invasive to deploy [1], or too inaccurate to achieve the sub meter level resolution required to track foot paths. By combining existing pedestrian dead reckoning...

Creator:: Vigeland, Anna E.
Abstract:: In this study, pheromone and skin lipid samples collected from red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) were exposed directly to either full-spectrum light or full-spectrum plus UVB light. In addition, female and male snakes were exposed to daily doses of either full-spectrum or full-spectrum and UVB light, after which the...

Creator:: Varin, Sara M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of recombinant lignin degrading enzyme, maganese peroxidise (rMnP), to detoxify inhibitors for theoptimization of ethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. The negative effects of inhibitors: vanillin, furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural, and syringaldehyde on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris yeast cell growth in revealed...

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...

Creator:: Collins, Lee
Abstract:: The behavior of small atomics cluster largely depends on their geometry, due to the high ratio of surface atoms to interior atoms. One interesting aspect to study clusters centers around characterizing the transition behavior between nite and bulk materials, where the ratio of surface atoms to interior atoms is very...
