  • Identifying a Ranking of Plant Preferences for a Pollinator

    Creator:
    Krishna Kumaran, Sneha
    Abstract:
    Pollinators are an integral part of agriculture and the ecosystem. However, due to changing land use, populations of wild pollinators are decreasing and plant distributions are changing all around the world. To understand how plant-pollinator networks will adapt over time, we would like to understand how pollinators choose flowers to...

  • 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...

  • The Past, Present, and Future of American Election Security: A Survey

    Creator:
    Read, Lyell
    Abstract:
    The widespread adoption of computerized systems around the turn of the century as a means of more efficiently conducting elections introduced more issues than these computer systems were intended to address. Though many of these flaws were not considered for years or decades after the introduction of digital election infrastructure,...

  • Hearing Inequality: A Sonification of the Gender Disparity in Computer Science and Engineering

    Creator:
    Cohen, Elyse
    Abstract:
    Sonification, or the “technique of rendering sound in response to data and interactions” [1], is an alternative to visual graphs and has the potential to make data more interpretable and accessible. As a combination of the arts (music) and the sciences (data), sonification is an interdisciplinary tool for connecting people...

  • Predicting Robotic Grasps Using Surrogate Datasets

    Creator:
    Unrath, Matthew Paul Nishita
    Abstract:
    One of the tasks that continues to prove difficult in robotics is the ability to grasp objects of varying shapes. It is time-consuming to acquire large amounts of real-world data in order to train accurate classifiers that can predict the success or failure of a grasp. To solve this issue,...

  • Comparison of the Longevities of Roman and Modern Construction Projects

    Creator:
    Taylor, David D.
    Abstract:
    Throughout Europe, Northern Africa, and the Near East, hundreds of Roman ruins lie scattered about. Many Roman aqueducts, bridges, roads, and even buildings remain standing over two thousand years after their construction, as functional as the day they were built. In the modern United States, however, many public works projects...

  • Design of a Process Independent Tool for the Creation of On-Chip Serial Test Interfaces

    Creator:
    Edmonds, Christopher D.
    Abstract:
    The push towards higher performing and more sensitive mixed signal circuitry has required the parallel development of increasingly more complex and sensitive test and calibration harnesses. Current off-chip methods of test and calibration may require higher pin counts or induce unwanted parasitic interference. In this thesis, the design of a...

  • DemoFlow: Low-Cost Flow Cytometry for Increased Access to Medical Diagnostics

    Creator:
    Stole, Kyler M.
    Abstract:
    Flow cytometry is a highly-extensible technology for performing rapid multi-parametric particle analysis. The use of flow cytometry has proliferated with the advent of smaller, intuitive, and more affordable instruments, along with a perpetual increase in research and medical applications. However, the technology is still largely inaccessible due to cost and...

  • Towards an Algorithm for the Third Normal Form (3NF) Using Relational Algebra

    Creator:
    Sorbello, Priscilla
    Abstract:
    This algorithm presents the first steps towards a solution for novice database administrators that helps them transform a non-normalized relational database into a database in the third normal form. The algorithm uses relational algebra operations that apply principles from the third normal form. This provides the database administrator with an...
