  • Material science in menstrual health and hygiene

    Creator:
    Aduviri, Brooke
    Abstract:
    Menstrual health and hygiene insecurity is a global health issue people across the world face, particularly in developing countries. According to the World Bank, an estimated 500 million lack access to adequate menstrual products, and “to effectively manage their menstruation, women and girls require access to water, sanitation, and hygiene...

  • An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

    Creator:
    Moore, Cailin J.
    Abstract:
    The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

  • The Eyes of Tunis

    Creator:
    Van Bossuyt, Douglas L.
    Abstract:
    People often grow increasingly culturally confused when spending significant amounts of time in a foreign land. Identity can become lost only to reform in the image of the host society. This thesis presents a creative nonfiction series of essays that explore the author’s loss of self and contextual identity, the...

  • Technological Improvements in Ligation and Suturing Techniques: A Comparison in the Material Strength of Ligating Clips and Suturing Devices

    Creator:
    Robertson, Bria L.
    Abstract:
    Treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts provides many options, including cellophane banding. These cellophane bands are secured with a ligation clip. Weck® offers two forms of these: the stainless steel Hemoclip, and the polymer Hem-o-lok. This in vitro study compares the mechanical strength of these two of types of clips by...

  • The Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of an Undertray for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Dang, Victor Q.
    Abstract:
    A student-built lap time simulation coupled with the scoring model of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Series has revealed the major importance of downforce on overall points. As a result, the Global Formula Racing (GFR) team has recently focused much effort towards the development of an aerodynamics package...

    Creator:
    Volk, Austin R.
    Abstract:
    For many years, engine overhearing has been the major cause for vehicle breakdowns and engine malfunctions for most teams in Endurance events at Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) Series competitions. Additionally, with a growing importance of aerodynamics to the overall success of the Global Formula Racing at these events,...

    Creator:
    Duvall, Andrew Kenichi
    Abstract:
    The population of minority groups is on the rise in the US, yet still minorities are not proportionally represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Of these minorities there are 4 races/ethnicities that are vastly under represented: Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians/Native Alaskans, and Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders. For the US to...

  • Simulation of Steady Flight of Butterflies and Improvement of Parameter Optimization

    Creator:
    Selover-Stephan, Tassilo
    Abstract:
    Recent interest in nano aerial vehicles (NAVs) has sparked an increase in research on the mechanics of biological flapping flight. The ability of NAVs to fly in confined spaces and perform tight maneuvers make them a valuable technological asset. Researching the mechanisms behind small-scale flapping flight promises progress toward the...

  • Numerical Analysis of Experimental Impacts on Wind Turbine Blades

    Creator:
    Fleiger-Holmes, Kahlan
    Abstract:
    Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable forms of energy in the United States and the world. However, interactions between wind turbines and wildlife have the possibility to injure animals such as birds and bats. Strategies to assess and minimize wind turbine interactions with wildlife are critical for...
