  • Multiracial Identity Development: Parental Transmission, Belonging and Mental Health

    Creator:
    Nakamura-Daya, Hana J.
    Abstract:
    The present study explores the topic of Multiracial Identity Development and how parents play an important role in the identity development of children. The role of parents becomes crucial for parents of Multiracial children as they transmit cultural values, beliefs, language, and practices. Although models of racial identity development exist,...

  • Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

    Creator:
    Attridge, Samuel J.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

  • Predicting music emotion with social media discourse

    Creator:
    Beery, Aidan J.
    Abstract:
    Predicting the average affect of a piece of music is a task which has been of recent interest in the field of music information retrieval. We investigate the use of sentiment analysis on online social media conversations to predict a song’s valence and arousal. Using four music emotion datasets -...

  • Design and Evaluation of a Vibrotactile Sensory Feedback System for Prostheses

    Creator:
    Thurston, Tegan J.
    Abstract:
    Loss of a limb can severely impact everyday way of life. Prosthetics provide a way to return functionality to the user and improve quality of life. However, most prosthetic systems currently available in the market lack sensory feedback making them comparatively more difficult to use resulting in prosthetic abandonment. Therefore,...

  • Examining Thermal Response of Steel Structural Elements with Fire Protection through Heat Transfer Analysis

    Creator:
    Saccente, Alexandra J.
    Abstract:
    Fires that affect buildings can have disastrous impacts, including significant losses to people, property, and the environment. Understanding how fires can impact structures provides the foundation to prevent structural collapse in fire. It is critical that the effect of fire is studied to protect the safety and welfare of civilians....

  • Computer Vision Model Selection For Real-Time Tracking of Apples

    Creator:
    Bloch, Peter J.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a method of implementing real-time apple detection for closed-loop control to approach apples for grabbing. The approach is to train two known real-time object detection networks–the Faster R-CNN and YOLOv5–on a novel dataset to verify that it is possible to achieve maximum average precision (mAP) above 50\%...

  • Exploring Asian and Asian American Specific Body Mass Index Cut-Points

    Creator:
    Lee, Lauren J.
    Abstract:
    Background: Body Mass Index (BMI) is used as a quick and inexpensive tool to measure populations at risk for a number of metabolic and chronic conditions. In part due to its simplicity, BMI has been criticized for its inaccurate prediction concerning health outcomes. Due to the diversity in the United...

  • The Relevance of Sexual Health Websites for African American Youth

    Creator:
    Barnard, Ke'ala J.
    Abstract:
    School-based comprehensive sex education (CSE) can reduce adolescent sexual health problems. However, only 49-55% of adolescents receive CSE that meets national standards. African American youth (AAY), particularly males, are less likely to receive CSE. AAY evidence a high prevalence of STIs/teen pregnancy. Internet-based CSE offers a supplemental option. We examined...

  • Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
    Abstract:
    This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...
