The nasal spray market is growing as rates of use are increasing, however, there has been little research on the topical of how the mechanical properties of nasal sprays affect loading, comfort, and usability. To gather to make these comparisons, the data of 20 participants were gathered by measuring muscle...
Presentation delivered at the panel, "Voices of the Northwest: Novel Approaches to Oral History Across the Region," at the joint meeting of the Conference of Intermountain Archivists and Northwest Archivists, Boise, Idaho.

The increasing human demands on natural resources, in combination with uncertainties about ecosystem dynamics due to global change, has led the scientific community to conclude that new approaches in understanding of ecological systems are needed to tackle environmental issues in an efficient manner. One development that has received more attention...
In this thesis, I deconstruct strategies of support for the LGBTQ youth of my home community,the Inland Empire. I call on Foucauldian understandings of discourse, knowledge, and power to analyze the existing support networks for LGBTQ youth in the Inland Empire. Gloria Anzaldúa’s theories of Nepantla and Nepantlera, and AnaLouise...
During the first decades of the twentieth century different attempts were made to unify the diversifying and specializing sciences. One of these attempts manifested as the History of Science. Established in 1913 with the academic journal Isis, its first article written by George Sarton clarified that the field was created...

Back end of line (BEOL) metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) have become a core passive component in modern integrated circuits. International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) projections for scaling of analog/mixed-signal MIMCAP applications require simultaneously increasing capacitance density while maintaining low leakage current density and low voltage nonlinearity (characterized by the quadratic...
Using available APIs, we can have the ability to extract information from an online database and visualize the information. These information models are used to create services based on geographic, structural, and semantic data on the urban scale. Spatial data infrastructure is the arrangements used to enable the combination of...
