  • Buying Wins: An analysis of Salary and Performance in the National Basketball Association

    Creator:
    Bertalotto, Jake
    Abstract:
    This study examines the relationships between player salaries and performance in the National Basketball Association, by analyzing team salaries and statistics for the five seasons between 2008 and 2013. We find that the teams are able to achieve more wins by outspending their competitors, even if that means incurring a...

  • Atmospheric nitrous oxide in the pre-800 ka atmosphere from ice cores from the Allan Hills, Antarctica

    Creator:
    Stock, Marika P.
    Abstract:
    Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas that has both natural and anthropogenic sources in the modern atmosphere (Ciais et al., 2013). This project expanded the knowledge of the history of atmospheric N2O in the geologic past by measuring N2O concentrations in air trapped in very old polar ice. A...

  • Design and Testing of a Device to Separate Tightly-Bound and Mobile Water Pools in Soil

    Creator:
    Madrigal, Justin Luis
    Abstract:
    Water movement, from forest soil to streams, has traditionally been modeled by translatory flow. A hypothesis was presented by Brooks et al. (2010) suggesting that, in addition to translatory flow, there exists an immobile pool of water trapped in small pores with low matric potential. Comparisons of water stable isotope...

  • Land Use Impacts on Water Quality in Oak Creek Watershed

    Creator:
    Johnson, Keira R.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the relationships between land use, water quality, and groundwater is crucial for ecological, economic, and water management decisions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the land use activities and hydrologic processes influencing the water quality of Oak Creek watershed. Objectives of this study were: 1) to...

  • Investigation into the Hydrologic Separation of Bound and Mobile Water in Forest SoilUsing Isotopic Analysis

    Creator:
    DeGeorge, Dustin
    Abstract:
    How water moves through soils is of importance to studies of stream hydrology and biogeochemistry. Although translatory flow, which states how soil water is displaced by additional precipitation into streams, is a widely accepted model, Brooks et al. (2010) found evidence that challenged this model. They suggested that there are...

  • The Axiom of Choice and Homotopy Type Theory

    Creator:
    Schneider, Eric
    Abstract:
    In this work we introduce some basic concepts within homotopy type theory (HoTT), a proposed alternative mathematical foundation to classical set theory. In particular, our discussion revolves around the Axiom of Choice (AC). In Part I, we introduce the classical AC and some of its most important equivalents. In Part...

  • Evaluating the Toxicity of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Britsch, Kimberly A.
    Abstract:
    Flame retardants are in many home products including couches, chairs, and electronics. The most commonly used flame retardants contained polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) until 2004, when the majority of these chemicals were phased out. PBDEs were found to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Organophosphate...

  • Characterizing PM2.5 with Different Source Contributions

    Creator:
    Perez, Allison Mae S.
    Abstract:
    Ubiquitous fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures significantly impact global public health, yet little is known about the mechanisms causing these known adverse health effects. Oxidative stress due to PM2.5 associated chemical constituents, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is a proposed possible mechanism for PM2.5 mediated health effects. Variations in...

  • Lean Implementations in the University Classroom and Curriculum Design

    Creator:
    Diep, Dustin S.
    Abstract:
    The Lean process improvement philosophy has been proposed as a method for improving components of Higher Education (HE), including student learning outcomes; however, current lean applications to HE have focused on administrative operations or general institutional interventions. Comparatively little work has been performed applying lean to teaching. This work fills...

  • Measuring Bubble Pressure in Glacier Ice

    Creator:
    Clonch, Cameron E.
    Abstract:
    Recent observations of tidewater glaciers find that the currently accepted model for predicting ice melt vastly underestimates observed melt rates. The release of pressurized air bubbles into the ocean from pores in the ice is one process that can amplify glacier melt. To incorporate this process into models, we need...
