  • Experiencing service-learning in prison

    Creator:
    Kopet, Julie G.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this qualitative, phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of incarcerated women who participated in a service-learning program to help the homeless. Service-learning is effective pedagogy for involving students in civic engagement, and their involvement has been shown to increase the self-esteem of participating college students....

  • Investigation of Thermal Degradation in Structural Alloys for Nuclear Power Systems

    Creator:
    Teng, Fei
    Abstract:
    The thermal degradation of structural materials is considered to be a key factor for evaluating the lifetime of current nuclear power plants. Ni-based and Fe-based alloys, such as 690, 625, 304, and 316, are widely used in nuclear industry as structural components due to the extraordinary corrosion resistance and mechanical...

  • Corrosion Resistance of Alloys in Direct-Fired Supercritical CO₂ Power Cycle Aqueous Environments

    Creator:
    Repukaiti, Reyixiati
    Abstract:
    Using supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) as a working fluid has increasingly gained attention in the energy industry. sCO₂ power cycles has various advantages, such as high cycle efficiency, compact turbomachinery, and potential zero CO₂ emission. Along with these benefits, materials degradation issues have also been emphasized in the last decade. Aqueous...

  • Interpersonal communication factors in the management of biomedical instructional development projects

    Creator:
    Thomas, Julie Ann
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the professional interaction and interpersonal communication factors in the management of biomedical instructional development projects which involved the use of electronic media. Reference is made, repeatedly, in instructional development literature to the need to include interpersonal communication skills in the education and...

  • Aqueous Corrosion and High Temperature Oxidation in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Environments

    Creator:
    Teeter, Lucas
    Abstract:
    The corrosion resistance of steels and nickel based alloys was investigated in supercritical CO2 (sCO2). Two types of experiments were conducted. The first set of experiments were conducted in a low temperature aqueous environment to simulate conditions that would exist in direct sCO2 power cycle low temperature heat exchangers. The...

  • Development of performance based test procedures for asphalt mixtures

    Creator:
    Kliewer, Julie E.
    Abstract:
    In 1987, Congress authorized a 5 year $150 million dollar research program called the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP). SHRP was divided into four major areas, including the asphalt research program. The asphalt research program was divided into six major research contracts, one such contract, SHRP-003A was called Performance Related...

  • Coordination for Scalable Multiple Robot Planning Under Temporal Uncertainty

    Creator:
    Marcon dos Santos, Gilberto
    Abstract:
    This dissertation incorporates coalition formation and probabilistic planning towards a domain-independent automated planning solution scalable to multiple heterogeneous robots in complex domains. The first research direction investigates the effectiveness of Task Fusion and introduces heuristics that improve task allocation and result in better quality plans, while requiring lower computational cost...

  • Characterization and Development of Ni-based Superalloys for Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Applications

    Creator:
    Adam, Benjamin M.
    Abstract:
    The advent of supercritical CO2 as a new heat-exchange medium has seen strong interest from the power industry and the energy research field recently. It is advan- tageous in comparison with other heat-exchange cycles, as it can be operated safely at much higher temperatures and pressures, thus increasing the thermal...

  • Understanding Molybdenum Isotope Dynamics in Terrestrial Environments

    Creator:
    King, Elizabeth K.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation works towards determining the mechanisms driving the Mo isotopic composition of soils, and how these signals may be used to refine the use of Mo as a proxy of biogeochemical processes. The first step towards quantifying Mo fractionation in soils is to determine the mechanisms controlling Mo accumulation,...
