Probing Aqueous Ion-Pairing and Speciation of Group V Polyoxometalates

Creator:: Sures, Dylan J.
Abstract:: Polyoxometalates are discrete anionic oxo clusters of the Group V and VI transition metals that can be conceptualized as molecular metal oxides. Because they are pairable with any alkali cation, a great deal of fundamental chemistry can be gleaned from their study, including solubility trends and insight into cation binding...

Chemical Solution Deposition and in-situ Structural Characterization of Pb-free, Bi-based, Piezoelectric Thin Films

Creator:: Fox, Austin J.
Abstract:: This work explores the electric field induced strain mechanisms in environmentally benign Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 (BNT) based piezoelectric thin films. Although BNT-based materials show promise as replacements for toxic Pb-based piezoelectrics, the displacement mechanisms are not consistent between thin films and bulk materials, and the differences have yet to be well understood....

Supplemental Materials: Effects of Medium Components on the Bulk Rheology and on the Formation of Ferning Patterns for Biofilm of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Creator:: Daalkhaijav, Uranbileg
Abstract:: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous bacterium that has an incredible ability to survive in various extreme environments and to persist despite bombardment by all types of antimicrobial agents. Its virulence and success within a broad range of hosts are largely thanks to the strength of its biofilms. The rheology of...

The Evolution of Scleractinian Microbial Symbionts

Creator:: McMinds, Ryan C.
Abstract:: The modern world has presented many threats to the health and stability of ecosystems worldwide. One of the most biodiverse ecosystems, coral reefs, faces particularly strong pressures, and is already declining rapidly in complexity and area. Although the stressors that affect reefs are diverse, ranging from nutrient pollution to overfishing,...

Discursive and Psychological Processes in Project MATCH Treatment Manuals and 12-Step Program Literature

Creator:: O'Hara, Margaret A.
Abstract:: Addiction is a word that represents a condition that, at best, causes minor disruptions to one’s life and, at worst, is lethal. The current definition was developed by 80 neuroscientists. It references substance use and other behaviors and includes food and sex. Addictions do not seem to be lessening but...

Sound and Vibration Analysis of Alternative Rumble Strips

Creator:: Horne, Dylan Ross
Abstract:: Roadway departure crashes accounted for 18,275 fatal crashes in 2017 across the United States (Jones et al. 2017). Rumble strips (RS) provide audible and haptic interior alert when a vehicle is departing the roadway reducing run-off-the road crashes. Although inexpensive to install, and easy to maintain, RS are not installed...

Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

Creator:: Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
Abstract:: Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...

The Evolution of Software Entropy in Open Source projects: An Empirical Study

Creator:: Mannan, Umme Ayda
Abstract:: Software entropy impacts the overall quality of software systems. High entropy hinders developers from understanding the purpose of a piece of code and can cause developers to make sub-optimal changes and introduce bugs. Researchers have used entropy scores to measure the naturalness of code. However, thus far, no one has...

On Avoiding Power-Seeking by Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Turner, Alexander M.
Abstract:: We do not know how to align a very intelligent AI agent's behavior with human interests. I investigate whether—absent a full solution to this AI alignment problem—we can build smart {\ai} agents which have limited impact on the world, and which do not autonomously seek power. In this thesis, I...

Computational Modeling of Smoldering Combustion in Wildland Fuels

Creator:: Jayasuriya, Waduge Jayani A.
Abstract:: Smoldering combustion in wildland fires is a critical phenomenon that needs in-depth study because it can initiate with weaker ignition sources, can persist for long periods, is difficult to suppress, and can transit to flaming combustion. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the major organic constituents within biomass, in varying proportions...
