  • Music Generation and Evaluation Using R

    Creator:
    Lanz, Andrea L.
    Abstract:
    The main goal of this project is to implement an algorithmic music composition procedure and present all procedures and results in a reproducible fashion by creating a web application produced by R. To approach the implementation of the algorithmic composition of music, we start by exploring various models, but ultimately...

  • The Mathematics of Critical Shifts in Ecological Networks with Alternative Stable State Theory, A Potential Framework for Early Warning Indicators

    Creator:
    Kupperman, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    A long running problem in mathematical biology is the prediction of extinction events, a specialized case of the larger global stability problem found in differential equations and dynamical systems theory. A central technical question is how to introduce the randomness observed in real ecological systems not accounted for in deterministic...

  • Computing Wavefunctions of Silicon Donor Qubits with Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Almulla, Yousif Waleed
    Abstract:
    Silicon based quantum computing is an attractive approach to large-scale quantum computation due to the significant success of the modern semiconductor fabrication industry. Despite many advances in silicon quantum computing since its inception in 1998, there remains no software for efficiently designing candidate silicon quantum computing devices. Such a development...

  • Language as a barrier of teaching mathematics to English language learners

    Creator:
    Sechrist, Josephine
    Abstract:
    In recent years, there has been a steady increase in the number of English Language Learners (ELL) in the United States. According to the Education Commission of the States, ELLs have significantly lower achievement levels than their non-ELL peers. Further, numerous research studies report that teacher education programs lack ELL...

  • Seasonal and Solar Cycle Variations in High-Probability Reconnection Regions on the Dayside Magnetopause

    Creator:
    Griffiths, Scott T.
    Abstract:
    Future satellite missions like NASA’s upcoming Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are targeting reconnection diffusion regions at the Earth’s magnetopause. These diffusion regions are small compared to the total surface area of the magnetopause. Furthermore, the location of the diffusion region depends on external parameters such as the current state of...

  • IMU integration for ATRIAS

    Creator:
    Van Why, Johnathan
    Abstract:
    An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is an important part of a freestanding bipedal robot's state estimation system. IMUs return translational accelerations and rotational velocities, which must be numerically integrated to obtain a robot's orientation. This thesis documents the implementation of the IMU alignment and integration systems for the ATRIAS robot....

  • Localized Structures in a Diffusive Run-and-Tumble Model of Myxococcus xanthus

    Creator:
    Flynn, Patrick Thomas
    Abstract:
    The bacteria Myxococcus xanthus clusters into fruiting bodies in the absence of food. The movement of M. xanthus has three aspects: self-propulsion (run), change of direction due to collision (tumble), and Brownian fluctuations in movement. We propose a minimalist PDE model for the concentrations of left and right moving agents...

  • Undergraduate Generalization of Lists and Tables to Solve Introductory Combinatorial Problems

    Creator:
    Aimonetto, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    In this study I viewed video and corresponding transcripts of two students solving introductory combinatorial problems. Using an adapted version of Harel’s (2008) concepts of Result Pattern Generalization and Process Pattern Generalization, I analyzed the work done by the two students. Both students primarily worked through the problem How many...

    Creator:
    Seibert, Basie S.
    Abstract:
    Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...
