  • Into the Garden: Environmental Education and Resources for K-5

    Creator:
    Smith, Amira R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to address barriers that K-5 educators face when implementing environmental education in classrooms. An in-depth study of the history of environmental education in the United States identifies primary barriers and issues. Focusing specifically on garden education programs, six lesson plans for K-5 were created to address the...

  • Creation of a Children’s Book to Alleviate Fear of Chemotherapy for Children Ages 5-8

    Creator:
    Funk, Anna
    Abstract:
    The concepts of cancer and chemotherapy are not unheard of to children, but are often scary and confusing. This paper addresses the need for children’s books on difficult concepts (such as cancer), the creation of a script for a children’s book explaining chemotherapy on a cellular level, the creation of...

  • Co-design of a Jupyter Notebook for wood stove emissions analysis

    Creator:
    Schofield, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research...

  • Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

    Creator:
    Hisanaga, Trevor H.
    Abstract:
    The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...

  • Can Operating Leases Predict Bankruptcy in Asset‐Intensive Firms?

    Creator:
    Waites, Pryce J.
    Abstract:
    Since the Altman Z-score was published in 1968, the Z-score has been a common way that investors predict bankruptcy and value risk. However, corporate structure has evolved since 1968 due to changes in economic factors and financial reporting standards. In 1976, the FASB created the first bright-line rules to distinguish...

  • Estimating basal glacier conditions using internal layer slopes

    Creator:
    Carroll, Georgia
    Abstract:
    Ice-penetrating radar produces detailed images of the internal ice layers in a glacier. Because the layers form from each year's snowfall, the curving of the internal layers is a record of the climate conditions that the glacier experienced as it flowed throughout the millennia. The Hiawatha Glacier lies on top...

  • Transcribing Solo Piano Performances from Audio to MIDI Using a Neural Network

    Creator:
    Ebert, Victoria
    Abstract:
    Automatic Music Transcription is a growing area of interest in Music Information Retrieval, and recent research has shown promise using onset detection on spectrograms. We propose a deep learning model that takes raw audio as input in order to transcribe a solo piano performance from audio to MIDI without complicated...

  • Determining and Characterizing the Efficacy of Superabsorbent Polymer for Wildfire Resistance Applications

    Creator:
    Kawasaki, Charles T.
    Abstract:
    Climate change is a pertinent issue causing an increase in the quantity and severity of wildfires. Current market solutions to protect homes from wildfires are expensive and do not always guarantee the safety of the home. Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a cross-linked polymer that can absorb over 100x its weight...

  • Surface Modifications for Greater Cycle Life and Energy Density in Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Creator:
    Holstun, Tucker M.
    Abstract:
    Significant challenges remain before lithium-ion batteries can support the decarbonization of the transportation and power sectors required to avert catastrophic climate change. The energy density of these batteries must be increased, while decreasing the price, and maintaining or increasing their lifespan. To improve the practical energy density of existing materials,...

  • A Proposed Treatment System for the Remediation of Landfill Leachate Using Algae

    Creator:
    Myers, Shanna Grace
    Abstract:
    Landfill leachate is a complex wastewater that contains high levels of ammonium (often over 250 ppm) and trace heavy metals (usually under 0.2 ppm). Microalgae have been shown to inexpensively and effectively treat wastewaters containing high loads of organics and nutrients, as well as adsorb metal ions. This thesis focuses...
