Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

Creator:: Khalife, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...

Exploring the Optical and Electronic Properties of Xylindein, a Fungus-Derived Pigment, as a Sustainable Organic Semiconductor

Creator:: Quinn, Alexander
Abstract:: Xylindein is an organic pigment derived from Chlorociboria aeruginascens and C. aeruginosa fungi that has shown promise as an organic semiconductor. Preliminary estimates of charge carrier mobilities (CCMs) on the order of 0.1 cm2/Vs were calculated from early tests on xylindein thin films, and photocurrents were also observed under laser...

A Study of Charging Behaviors in Organic Semiconductors using Optical Trapping

Creator:: Founds, Graham M.
Abstract:: We measure the charging and discharging of two organic materials, PCBM and ADT-TES-F. These materials are studied through the noncontact method of particle trapping known as Optical Tweezers, where an IR laser is used to constrain the motion of a coated or noncoated silica sphere while its positional data is...

Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

Creator:: Busche, Jacob A.
Abstract:: A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

The Gender Wage Gap and Education

Creator:: Nordin, Bri
Abstract:: Does the wage gap exist in careers that require higher levels of educational attainment? Research indicates that, on average, women make around 80% of what men earn. This study aims to investigate the relationship between educational attainment and the magnitude of the wage gap. Due to the differences in gender...

Housing Chickens: How Much Space is Enough?

Creator:: Bradley, Emily D.
Abstract:: The stocking density for chickens can have major impacts on their health and welfare. There is no single correct answer for how many chickens you can house in a specified area, as it depends on the quality of housing. Chickens can tolerate a higher stocking density without major health concerns...

Optical Modelling of Thin Films: Applying Effective Medium Theory to Mixtures of TiO₂ and SnO₂

Creator:: Wulf, Julian J.
Abstract:: This study used SCOUT optical modelling software to create models of the reflectance and transmittance spectra generated by mixtures of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and tin oxide (SnO2). These models enabled identification of how altering the ratio of a mixture changes the optical response. By being able to identify how altering...

Mobile Cryptographic Coprocessor for Privacy-Preserving Two-Party Computation

Creator:: Kulp, Gabriel
Abstract:: Multi-party computation (MPC) is a field of study focused on devising cryptographic protocols that allow participants to learn the output of some function of their private inputs without trusting a third party to perform the computation. This is usually done at a large scale between data centers, with little emphasis...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Color Through Poetry

Creator:: Dingman, Paige M.
Abstract:: This project aims to challenge traditional beliefs about the emotional and psychological meanings of colors, which are often limited in the Western world. The psychology of color is heavily present in nearly every aspect of our lives, and this continual reinforcement of each color’s assigned meaning ignores and discourages the...

The Economic Path Dependency of Foreign Extraction Duration: Why Colonialism Still Matters

Creator:: Kemp, Duncan S.
Abstract:: Foreign occupation and extraction have arguably existed since the very emergence of interstate conflict millennia ago. Yet despite humanity’s vast experience on the topic, we know surprisingly little about its long-term economic consequences. It is generally accepted by most that the extraction of resources by a foreign power tends to...
