  • Tracking Competitive Season Training Load via TRIMP in a Collegiate Distance Runner : A Case Study

    Creator:
    Anderson, Morgan Jane
    Abstract:
    Objectively quantifying workload is challenging due to a variety of factors. One way to measure workload is by training impulse (TRIMP). TRIMP uses time in physiologically significant heart rate zones to quantify a workload for a given bout of physical activity. Tracking average workload over time can then be used...

  • Studies Toward the Synthesis of Natural Product Scaffolds

    Creator:
    Lusk, Jason S.
    Abstract:
    Part 1: A Diels-Alder Approach to the Synthesis of Novel Analogues of the Natural Product Siamenol Due to the prevalence of biaryl motifs in natural product synthesis, the Carter research group has been exploring the utility of a Diels-Alder approach to biaryl synthesis. The Diels-Alder approach involves a [4+2] cycloaddition...

  • Automatically Generating Solutions for Sokoban Maps

    Creator:
    Greco, Jason Aaron
    Abstract:
    Generating solutions to Sokoban levels is an NP-hard problem that is difficult for even modern day computers to solve due to its complexity. This project explores the creation of a Sokoban solver by eliminating as many potential moves as possible to greatly limit the overall search space. This reduction is...

  • Entrapment of Micro-Algae in Modified Alginate Beads for Oxygen and Nutrient Source

    Creator:
    Hughson, Jason D.
    Abstract:
    Presented here is an investigation and comparison of two entrapment methods of algae. Conventional calcium alginate bead entrapment is compared to a recently described modified bead entrapment method, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol) and calcium alginate, which results in void or capillary formation within the beads. It is shown that algal growth...

  • The effect of animal size on the carbonic anhydrase activity of the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima

    Creator:
    Tep, Allison P.
    Abstract:
    The sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima is a model organism for the study of temperate symbiosis. Anthopleura elegantissima can engage in symbiosis with two different algal symbionts: the dinoflagellate Breviolum muscatinei and the chlorophyte Elliptochloris marina. One host enzyme that has been shown to be important in cnidarian-algal symbioses is carbonic...

  • Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

    Creator:
    Crowell, Jeffrey R.
    Abstract:
    The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

  • The Gas Exchange Threshold-Lactate Threshold Relationship Across Cycling Fitness Levels

    Creator:
    Seipel, Aaron
    Abstract:
    Endurance athletes set the intensities of training sessions using blood lactate data from a maximal graded exercise test. Specifically, these intensities are set as a percentage of heart rate (HR) at lactate threshold (LT). Often, however, gas exchange threshold (GET) data is used as a predictor of LT as it...

  • Perceiving Big Five Traits Accurately at True Zero Acquaintance

    Creator:
    Brown, Jill A.
    Abstract:
    This research focused on the accuracy of trait judgments at zero acquaintance and after five minutes of interaction. Thirty-five undergraduates judged the neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness of four to six others whom they did not know. Participants then interacted in one-on-one conversations with each target for five minutes....

  • The Effect of HSA and Hematocrit on the Cake Collapse Temperature of Lyophilized Red Blood Cells

    Creator:
    Runyon, Daniel E.
    Abstract:
    Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, has shown great promise in addressing many of the logistical challenges of storing and preserving red blood cells (RBCs). A crucial part of any future RBC lyophilization protocol is the primary drying temperature, which affects the sample drying rate and the dried cake’s ability to form a...
