  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Cost-cognizant test case prioritization for regression testing : an empirical study

    Creator:
    Ruthruff, Joseph Ronald
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is a common and necessary task carried out by software practitioners to validate the quality of evolving software systems. Unfortunately, regression testing is often an expensive, time-consuming process, particularly when applied to large software systems. Consequently, practitioners may wish to prioritize the test cases in their regression test...

  • Vertical Ground Reaction Force During the Forward Lunge and Squat for Dominant and Non-Dominant Limbs in Older Adults

    Creator:
    Thompson, Ronald D.
    Abstract:
    Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance. The purpose...

  • Investigation of the Effect of Copper-Palladium Electrocatalysts on Nitrate Reduction

    Creator:
    Finstad, Arthur
    Abstract:
    Nitrate (NO₃-) accumulation in water sources is a serious health and environmental concern. Common methods used to reduce NO₃- accumulation have one or more undesirable traits that limit their efficacy in large-scale decontamination. However, treatment of NO₃- electrochemically is a promising area of study because of the absence of toxic...

  • Hacking RFID Tags to Produce Economical Soil Moisture Sensors

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Brett S.
    Abstract:
    Currently available soil moisture sensors have intrinsic limitations that limit their adoption by industry. Depending on the technology, these limitations may include high costs, battery requirements, precice manual installation, high cost, and/or constrictive legislation that regulates their use. A passive soil moisture sensing system based around RFID technology would allay...

  • Rope Selection for Rope Drive Transmissions Used in Robotic Manipulation

    Creator:
    Summers, Michael P.
    Abstract:
    Wire and fiber ropes used in rigorous CBOS (cyclic bend over sheave) applications were investigated. Small diameter stainless steel, tungsten, and Vectran® ropes were tested over small sheaves at high loads and cycle speeds. Sheaves were made with Al6061-T6511 and Al7075-T651 and were coated with 0.002” hard coat anodize; some...

  • Investigation of NAE inhibitor MLN4924 against KHV replication in vitro

    Creator:
    Jensen, Sam I.
    Abstract:
    Koi herpesvirus (KHV) is a pathogen affecting common carp and ornamental koi with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, no effective treatment or vaccine is available against this virus. Cullin RING ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) are a class of host proteins that facilitate infection of DNA viruses, such as herpesviruses. Inhibitors of...

  • Investigation of KHV DNA Methylation during Productive and Latent Infection

    Creator:
    Lin, Lisa
    Abstract:
    Koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a highly pathogenic virus causing high mortality in common carp and koi, especially in fry. One of the unique features of herpesvirus infections is their ability to become latent following initial infection. During latent infection, only viral genome persists in the host and remains dormant in...

    Monnin, Mee-ya A.
    Abstract:
    We investigated ontogenetic changes in body morphology of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) using three three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, to estimate surface areas and body volumes for 42 Weddell seals. We sampled ten weaned pups, twelve juveniles (age one or two years), 11 non-breeding adult females, and 9 adult females who had...
