Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

Creator:: Michaels, Linsie
Abstract:: Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

Development of Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Fluid Temperature Imaging for Free Convection Heat Transfer Applications

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel C.
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-dye laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a minimally invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they...

Characterization and application of PEO-containing triblock copolymer surfactants

Creator:: Snider, Joshua L.
Abstract:: The action of pendant, polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers as nonfouling coatings for biomedical materials is well understood. However progress toward clinical application of stable, high density PEO coatings has historically been impeded by the lack of cost effective, noninvasive methods for their preparation. Triblock polymers featuring a hydrophobic, polypropylene...

Exploring the Discrete Logarithm with Random Ternary Graphs

Creator:: Brugger, Max Francis Josef
Abstract:: Encryption is essential to the security of transactions and communications, but the algorithms on which they rely might not be as secure as we all assume. In this paper, we investigate the randomness of the discrete exponentiation function used frequently in encryption. We show how we used exponential generating functions...

Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Electric Propulsion

Creator:: Bamberger, Joshua
Abstract:: This research aims to demonstrate the viability of actively controlled distributed-electric propulsion as a method to postpone flutter in high aspect-ratio elastic wings. A semi-wing on a spring mount with two propellers powered by electric motors, mounted at alternate pitch angles relative to the chord line, was used as the...

The Effects of Temperature and Working Electrode Material on the Power Output of a Hydroxymethylfurfural Fuel Cell

Creator:: Breen, Joshua P.
Abstract:: The need for clean energy continues to rise as the earth’s non-renewable resources continue to be depleted to satisfy energy demands. One plausible renewable energy source exists in biomass-powered fuel cells.¹ While there are several ways to convert sugars to energy, one interesting approach is to convert the sugars to...

Trouble on the High Seas: An Analysis of Congressional Speech Patterns regarding Sea Level Rise in the 115th Congress

Creator:: Fuller, Joshua A.
Abstract:: When running for a political office, a candidate’s platform is important for the voter to understand what the that individual believes. Candidates do not always lay out a concrete platform and tend to stay away from salient issues, such as climate change and its effects, and run on platforms that...

Q-Network Policy Selection For Multiagent Learning

Creator:: Cook, Joshua
Abstract:: Controllers for robotic systems can be complex and difficult to write by hand. Learning offers an approach to improve a controller through direct feedback. Learning is not trivial, as the feedback does not tell the agent how to improve, only how well its current actions solve the given task. Learning...

Evidence for the Potential Hybridization of Ammophila breviligulata and Ammophila arenaria in the Pacific Northwest.

Creator:: Borland, Joshua J.
Abstract:: Coastal dunes are dynamic and unique ecosystems. On the Pacific coast, dunes are generally dominated by the beach grasses, Ammophila breviligulata and Ammophila arenaria, two invasive species introduced in the early 1900’s to stabilize sand and create foredunes that serve to protect people who live behind them. Recently, a novel...

Comparing the United States West Coast Marine Protected Area levels of protection and their effectiveness to retain viable habitat connectivity with increasing human uses and global change

Creator:: Kesling, Joshua
Abstract:: Coastal communities rely on the abundant ecosystem services derived from robust conservation areas in offshore marine waters (Campbell, 2019). United Nations member states support the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) framework, wherein the 14th guideline asserts the importance of life under water. Protected marine environments are critical to the survival of...
