  • 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...

  • Introducing the OPEnS HUB 2.0 - A Versatile, In situ, Remote, Sensor Hub

    Creator:
    DeBell, Thomas C., Goertzen, Luke, Selker, John, and Udell, Chet
    Abstract:
    Research in geoscience often requires transmission of significant amounts of data from remote locations. The emergence of microcontrollers and open-source sensors are allowing connectivity to affordable, distributed in-situ monitoring. This report describes the OPEnS Hub, a modular data hub orders of magnitude cheaper than commercial dataloggers when scaled to multiple...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • The effects of marine biodiversity loss on coastal economics

    Creator:
    McAbery, Emma
    Abstract:
    The oceans are one of humanity’s greatest resources, providing food, raw materials, livelihoods, and protection. More than 3 billion people around the world rely on marine life as a source of protein as well as their livelihood. Seafood is one of the highest traded commodities globally and many major cities...

  • Estimating harvest rates to assess the efficacy of marine reserves in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands

    Creator:
    Yamane, Mark T.
    Abstract:
    Marine protected areas (MPAs) are used in ecosystem-based management (EBM) to increase the abundance and biomass of targeted species and protect their ecosystems by restricting certain human activities. Marine reserves (i.e. no-take MPAs) aim to achieve this by prohibiting harvest in the area. While MPAs are currently evaluated through assessments...

  • Locating and Observing Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

    Creator:
    Díaz, Ian H.
    Abstract:
    By studying gravitational waves, we can gain new insights into the merging events between massive objects such as black holes as well as neutron stars. Moreover, studying low-frequency waves allows us to observe merging events between supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, which in turn allows us to...

  • Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
    Abstract:
    This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...

  • Environmental DNA reveals cryptic parasite species and gives insight into their fish hosts

    Creator:
    Phillips, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan fish parasite that impacts hatchery and wild populations of salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest. Levels of the parasite in river water can be effectively monitored through direct filtration of parasite spores from water, extraction of total "environmental DNA" (eDNA), then quantitative polymerase chain...

  • Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

    Creator:
    Beery, Aidan J.
    Abstract:
    Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...
