  • Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

    Creator:
    Busche, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

  • Development and Characterization of Multiple Nanopore Systems for Molecular Sensing

    Creator:
    Schmeckpeper, Tyler T.
    Abstract:
    Artificial lipid bilayer technologies are effective models for studying cell membrane properties. Droplet bilayers rely on microfluidics and provide advantages over other bilayer methods due to their compatibility with automated development systems that increase yield while minimizing cost. This paper describes the implementation of bilayer technologies using membrane protein channels...

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...

  • Utilization of ground peanut husk as an alternative fiber material for particleboard

    Creator:
    Newton, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

  • Design, Layout, and Testing of a Printed Circuit Board for Cyclic Voltammetry

    Creator:
    Harper, Karen
    Abstract:
    This project concerns the design, layout, assembly, debugging, and testing of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that autonomously, reliably, and effectively conducts Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) measurements. CV is an electrochemical procedure done to analyze, quantize, and visualize reversible reduction-oxidation reactions, often used in medical devices to monitor the levels of...

  • Implementing a Low Power Soil Monitoring System for Small- and Large-Scale Applications

    Creator:
    Marshall, Jordyn
    Abstract:
    Due to increasing populations, food production must increase significantly to be sustainable. The Internet of Things has been shown to have potential in the field of agriculture to make farming practices more efficient. However, for IoT to be properly integrated into agriculture, sensors must be applied within the field and...

  • The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment on Biomechanical Imbalances and Pain Response in Horses

    Creator:
    Prichard, Taylor M.
    Abstract:
    Chiropractic treatment is used to reduce stiffness and pain. While more thoroughly studied in humans, it has been shown to be effective in horses, but relatively little evidence exists to quantify the benefits. To address this shortcoming, four methods were used to assess the effects of chiropractic treatment in horses...

  • 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...
