Students' Understanding of Discrete and Continuous Systems in Quantum Mechanics and Computation's Supporting Role

Creator:: Solorio, Christian D.
Abstract:: Quantum mechanics is increasingly being taught with a spins-first approach where instructors use simple spin systems to introduce the principles of quantum mechanics rather than systems with wavefunctions. One of the defining characteristics of a spins-first approach is that systems studied have discrete bases, whereas systems with wavefunctions have continuous...

Sensemaking Throughout the Physics Curriculum: Understanding Expert and Student Ideas About Sensemaking in a Physics Context

Creator:: Lenz, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...

Supporting Learning and Thinking with Multiple Representations in Upper Division Physics Courses

Creator:: Alfson, Jonathan W.
Abstract:: Physicists solve problems and communicate their work using many external representations, such as equations, words, diagrams, graphs, sketches, pictures, and more. To learn physics, then, students must learn to use external representations. In this dissertation, I present three manuscripts. Each manuscript discusses how upper-division Paradigms in Physics students use multiple...

Lipid Profile in Pinot Noir Wine: Contributions to Taste and Mouthfeel Perception, Impacts of Winemaking Techniques, and Potential Use As Markers for Identifying Wine Origin

Creator:: Phan, Quynh K.
Abstract:: Wine taste and mouthfeel are essential factors that determine consumer acceptance, consumer preference, and wine quality. The three taste descriptors, sweet, sour, and bitter, are well understood and routinely appearing in wine sensory. In contrast, information related to mouthfeel sensations is still relatively limited. Winemakers have worked hard to craft...

Free Monoterpene Isomer Profiles in White Wine : Effect of Grape Variety, Region and Style and Impact on Odor Perception

Creator:: Song, Mei
Abstract:: Monoterpenes are important volatile compounds to the aroma of many white wines. Many monoterpenes are chiral and found in wine as different isomers. These isomers (also known as enantiomers) are non-superimposable mirror images of each other, maintain the same molecular structure and in many instances possess different sensory characteristics. Much...

Exploring Student and Expert Understanding of Thermodynamic Potentials, Legendre Transformations, and Independent Variables in Thermodynamics

Creator:: Vignal, Michael
Abstract:: Thermodynamic potentials are energies that can describe a thermodynamic system in terms of different mathematically independent variables. Some of these potentials describe particular thermodynamic systems or processes in particularly convenient ways. In this dissertation, I discuss the different ways that students and experts reason about quantities in thermodynamics within the...
