  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

  • TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

    Creator:
    Oster, Sidney C.
    Abstract:
    The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...

  • Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Knowlton, John
    Abstract:
    The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

  • Investigation of the Effects of Commercial Salmon Fishery Management in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska

    Creator:
    Fleming-Craig, Danielle
    Abstract:
    Optimal commercial fishery management sustains each salmon species' population while maximizing economic benefits. This thesis addresses two questions. What are the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's and the Board of Fisheries' intentions when conducting a fishery management plan in Upper Cook Inlet? How does it compare to its implementation?...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

  • Brewing in Europe’s central frontier : negotiating ethnic identity in beer within the Czech-German borderlands

    Creator:
    Deur, Brendan
    Abstract:
    Over the last two centuries, Pilsner beer has become a symbol of Czech national identity. Originating in the Western Czech town of Plzeň, the unique color and flavor spread globally, with new styles further branching off the Central European stem. It is with great pride that the Czech people are...

  • Detection of koi herpes virus in post-mortem koi

    Creator:
    Lopez, Edwin
    Abstract:
    Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as koi herpesvirus (KHV), is a pathogenic and highly contagious virus that affects the Cyprinus genus. The mortality rate of the KHV infection is around 80-100%. KHV can become latent in the recovered koi and reactivate under stressful conditions. KHV can reactivate under various...

  • Improving the accuracy and efficiency of bird song analysis with machine learning based event detection

    Creator:
    Mathew, Anju
    Abstract:
    Ornithology is an exciting field with novel research emerging everyday. Researchers in bioacoustics often spend hours within the wilderness recording bird calls to analyze later in their lab. The burden of sifting through hours of audio recordings from the field continues to remain a time-consuming and manual task, despite the...

  • 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...
