  • Error Propagation in Sap Flow Measurements Using the Heat Ratio Method

    Creator:
    Miller, Jackson T.
    Abstract:
    Accurate estimation of the amount of water used by trees is important for a variety of agricultural applications. There are several current methodologies for measuring sap flow and water use in trees, however the heat ratio method has been identified as the ideal due to its ability to measure low...

  • Turn-Taking in Face-to-Face Conversations: A Proposed Theory of Chair Swiveling

    Creator:
    Smith, Lyshuand R.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to propose swiveling behavior as a potential speech transitioning device and to discuss the methodology behind qualitative and quantitative analysis of swivels in relation to subjects’ partners. Due to the impacts of gaze and body orientation direction on speech transitioning, it is deduced that,...

  • Sports and Personality: The Effects of Childhood Sports Participation on Healthy Personality Development

    Creator:
    Sharma, Shrida
    Abstract:
    Sports, being one of the most popular forms of social play for children (Felfe et al., 2016), can contribute to a child’s development, as they are associated with “physical growth, biological maturation, behavioral development, psychological, and social well-being” (Bailey et al., 2015). The purpose of this study was to attempt...

  • High Resolution Spectroscopy of Bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane

    Creator:
    Martin, Matthew A.
    Abstract:
    The strained carbon ring, bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, was synthesized by a reaction between 1-(phenylsulfanyl)bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane, prepared from propellane, and Raney nickel. Infrared spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.0015 cm-1, a resolution significantly better than previous measurements, 0.06 cm-1. A single fundamental band was analyzed to determine the ground state and excited...

  • Response of Stream Macroinvertebrate Community to Canopy-opening Manipulations

    Creator:
    Mackaness, Cedar
    Abstract:
    Stream light availability is an important factor influencing aquatic food webs. In forested headwaters, stream algal production is often highly light-limited, so an increase in light enhances benthic algal growth, which in turn increases food availability for primary consumers in the stream. In forested headwater streams, light availability is almost...

  • Creation of a Bilingual Children’s Book to Highlight the Racial and Ethnic Disparities in U.S. Dental Service Utilization

    Creator:
    Huynh, Daniel T.
    Abstract:
    Although Latino students make up more than a quarter of the U.S. public school system, only three percent of children’s literature either features a Latino protagonist or is written by a Latino author (Machado et al.). Latinos are therefore severely underrepresented in children’s books. Additionally, studies have revealed that Latino...

  • Revolutionary Love: Solidarity in the Vietnam Anti-War Movement

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Darlene
    Abstract:
    The Vietnamese population that migrated to the United States is largely tied to South Vietnam. As the population settled, their strong opposition to communism has driven many in the community towards political alignment with the alt-right and even white nationalists. The proximity to these movements and their seeming tolerance of...

    Lewis, Charles T.
    Abstract:
    The 4.59-4.18 Ma Caspana ignimbrite, found within the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC), is the result of an ~8km3 eruption that took place during the Neogene Ignimbrite Flare-up in the N. Chilean Andes. While most of the eruptions during this flare up are large, monogenetic eruptions, the Caspana that is characterized...

    Abstract:
    Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and are believed to lower the satisfaction of interacting with others. This thesis attempted to document the impact that AAC devices have on social interactions, in the hope of...

  • The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

    Creator:
    Kadhim, Kyra L.
    Abstract:
    The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...
