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...

Using the Rotorwash of a Quadcopter Drone to Remove Dust from a Solar Panel

Creator:: Holman, Samantha K.
Abstract:: The electrical output of solar panels is reduced when dust covers the panels, but the air movement produced by a flying drone can be used to remove this debris. This research project will study the effectiveness of a quadcopter drone in dusting a solar panel. A solar panel was covered...

A Residential DC Distribution System with Photovoltaic Array Integration

Creator:: Lee, Chee Sing
Abstract:: A DC distribution system targeted for residential settings has been designed and simulated. The system features the ability to draw power from both the utility and photovoltaic arrays. In times of surplus solar energy, the system is able to supply power back to the utility to facilitate net metering. The...

A survey of power systems vulnerability and failures on the Pacific Northwest due to natural disasters with a focus on volcanic activity.

Creator:: Tafempa Messa, Winnie
Abstract:: Electricity is at the center of attention as today many essential systems (water, gas, communications, and the internet for example) and infrastructures depend on its continuity for their smooth functioning. On the other hand, electricity power networks have developed and became large, and highly complex technical systems, geographically extended, requiring...

Design and Implementation of a Frequency Controlled Electric Hot Water Heater Retrofit Thermostat

Creator:: Johanesen, Mackenzie S.
Abstract:: This design of a Grid Friendly Electric Hot Water Heater Thermostat was built for the Electrical and Computer Engineering Senior Design course, ECE44x. The design enables hot water heaters to respond to imbalances in the grid seen through deviations from standard grid frequency by varying the power output to the...

Freeze-thaw cycles in permafrost soils and their impacts on the climate: A literature review

Creator:: Bergmann, Maya K.
Abstract:: Climate change is occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, with impacts heightened in the cold regions of the world including the Arctic. Warming effects are widespread, with one impacted process – freeze-thaw cycles – increasing in frequency and potentially triggering additional changes in permafrost soils that have previously acted as...

Characterization of the Cellular Respiration and Mitochondrial Metabolism in C2C12 Mouse Myoblasts

Creator:: Sather, Bergen K.
Abstract:: Type-2 diabetes (T2D) has become a pandemic. The main impairment in T2D is skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and is often associated with obesity. Despite decades of study, the mechanisms of IR have not been fully resolved. Evidence has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction as a potential cause and/or consequence of IR....

Examining the Effects on Salivary Cortisol Levels of Shelter Volunteers Interacting with Familiar Dogs

Creator:: Duvall, Holly K.
Abstract:: Heightened cortisol levels are a typical physiological response to stress. The many responsibilities of animal shelter workers can lead to increased stress levels and negative effects on their job satisfaction and overall wellness. As a result, workers are subject to burnout and compassion fatigue. While working in shelter environments may...

Qualitative Analysis of Maxwell-Duffing Models in Nonlinear Optics

Creator:: Tro, Sara K.
Abstract:: In this thesis we analyze a model for Kerr optical materials consisting of Maxwell's equations along with the dispersive Duffing model. We consider Duffing models with cubic and quintic polynomial nonlinearities. We assume a traveling wave solution to this nonlinear electromagnetic system and analyze it using the theory of dynamical...

The effects of oxytocin on proximity - seeking behavior and vocalizations in shelter cats

Creator:: Sakaguchi, Naomi K.
Abstract:: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of intranasally administered oxytocin on the sociability of adult, neutered, male and female shelter cats, as measured by proximity-seeking behavior and meow vocalizations. Two local Humane Societies were sampled in this study. The shelter cats were randomly assigned to one...
