  • Facility Planning for Large Equine Facilities in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Glenn, Aimee K.
    Abstract:
    Large equine facilities are comprised of many different departments (areas) that are necessary for the proper care and maintenance of horses. The placement of departments is often inefficient due to the slow growth of equine facilities. As a result, facility layout becomes a crucial aspect requiring explicit consideration because mandatory...

  • A Study on Graphics Quality in Smartphone Games

    Creator:
    Glenn, Shady E.
    Abstract:
    As of February 2012, approximately 46% of American adults own a smartphone. The graphics quality of these devices gets better each year. However, they still have many more limitations in graphics processing and storage space than desktop computers. This means that applications on these devices should focus on optimizing their...

  • Statistical methods for assessing the likelihoods of fault rupture scenarios in earthquakes

    Creator:
    Tallan, Katherine S.
    Abstract:
    Earthquake rupture scenarios are important tools for understanding the nature of plate movement and patterns in seismic activity. The creation and assessment of these rupture scenarios rely heavily on geologic reasoning and principles applied to earthquake event data. This reliance introduces a certain amount of subjectivity to the rupture scenario...

  • Examining the Human Relevance of a New Mouse Model of ALS and Observations on the Incidence in Human Populations

    Creator:
    Winkenbach, Lindsay
    Abstract:
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a relatively rare neurodegenerative disorder that is fatal 2-4 years after the onset of the disease. Population studies are being done in order to help reveal candidates for further studies of disease etiology, disease progression, as well as to further understand racial and ethnic variations....

  • Sources of variability in duration of anesthesia with brevital sodium in snakes

    Creator:
    Preston, Daniel L.
    Abstract:
    Variability in the depth and duration of anesthesia in individuals within a species is frequently observed, yet few studies have investigated its causes in reptiles. To evaluate the potential causes of variability in reptile anesthesia, I conducted experiments to test for effects of body temperature, body composition and time post-feeding...

  • Rototyper: A Novel Solution to Low Cost Three Dimensional Prototyping

    Creator:
    Postman, Jacob Olund
    Abstract:
    In the continuing effort to reduce time spent in the product development cycle many industries have realized the benefits of rapid prototyping. Within a few hours a design engineer can turn a computer model into an actual three-dimensional object allowing customers, engineers and marketing agents to evaluate a product early...

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

  • Calculating the Added Cost of Over-Densifying Particleboard

    Creator:
    Gardner, Ben
    Abstract:
    Particleboard is a commodity composite panel made from the residual materials of other wood products manufacturing companies. The industry operates on low profit margins and thus produces high volumes of differing panel grades. Slight inefficiencies over the course of a year can mean a significant loss in profit. Previous calculations...

  • A Bayesian Treatise on the Replication Crisis in Science

    Creator:
    Gibson, True E.
    Abstract:
    Over the past decade, it has come to light that many published scientific findings cannot be reproduced. This has led to the replication crisis in science. Many researchers feel that they can no longer trust much of what they read in scientific journals, and the public is becoming ever more...

  • Selection of hotels: Is the sustainability of a building more important than its aesthetic appearance?

    Creator:
    Chan, Lina
    Abstract:
    This study explores the influence that the sustainability of hotels has on the choice of hotels. Because of recent concern about global warming and reducing energy consumption, many designers are planning sustainable buildings. But often attractiveness is sacrificed for the goal of making a building sustain in its environment. The...
