  • Pull-Oriented Faculty Development: A Multiple, Descriptive-Explanatory Case Study

    Creator:
    Barner, Matthew S.
    Abstract:
    Traditional faculty development programs aimed at disseminating research-based pedagogy and innovations at potential adopters have helped increase awareness of these innovations; however, their adoption into engineering classrooms has been limited. This paper aims to present an alternative, pull-oriented approach to faculty development where faculty participants co-develop curricular innovations with engineering...

  • Processes of orientation to the informal caregiving role among Mexican-origin women : a qualitative analysis

    Creator:
    McDermott, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the steps that were taken to develop thematic findings using data from a qualitative study. Using a grounded approach, the study focused on qualitatively exploring Mexican origin caregivers' conceptualizations of elder caregiving in terms of role functioning, social norms, cultural beliefs, and familial obligations. Data collected from...

  • Who Drops Out of DSME Programs? An Intersectional Analysis

    Creator:
    Julyan, Esmeralda Janeth
    Abstract:
    A critical component in diabetes management is diabetes self-management education (DSME). Additionally, poor self-management behavior and negative health outcomes are associated with participants that do not complete diabetes education (Gurdiacci et al., 2007). Despite the widespread use of DSME, many do not obtain the wide range of benefits these programs...

  • Reversible Covalent Immobilization of Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) on Aminated Polystyrene Beads for Citrate-Bound Fe(III) Chelation

    Creator:
    Touma, Jad G.
    Abstract:
    The immobilization of chelators to solid supports has recently gained renewed interest due to the increasing biomedical and environmental applications made possible by these molecules’ ability to bind Fe(III) and other metal ions. The uses of immobilized chelators have expanded to include the treatment of metal overload in serum, the...

  • Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

    Creator:
    Dawes, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

  • Overstory Growth, Structural Development, and Regeneration Success Following Uneven-Aged Conversion Treatments in Douglas-fir Plantation of the Cascade Range in Oregon

    Creator:
    Marcum, Sean R.
    Abstract:
    Uneven-aged management has been suggested as a method for balancing biodiversity conservation and wood production goals from managed forests in a variety of regions. In coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) forests of the Pacific Northwest, implementation of uneven-aged management is hindered by a lack of experience with uneven-aged silvicultural systems, including...

  • Automated Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Revolute, Prismatic and Pin-In-Slot Joints

    Creator:
    Huang, Weifeng
    Abstract:
    The intent of this research is to explore the entire design space of mechanism topologies by using a graph grammar synthesis approach. A new graph representation of planer mechanism has been developed to represent the planar mechanism with revolute (R), prismatic (P), and pin-in-slot (RP) joints. Following Gruebler's equation, the...

  • Automated Tradeoff Analysis of Cost Versus Machinability for Design Feedback

    Creator:
    Grier, Alan Thomas
    Abstract:
    As CAD tools become more sophisticated, engineers are able to more easily create complex part geometries with minimal mass given strength and stiffness requirements. However, these complex part geometries can be difficult to subtractively manufacture, which consequently increases manufacturing cost and production time. This thesis presents a method independent of...

    Creator:
    Hovland, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may exert profound influences on ecosystem resilience and invasion resistance in western North American sagebrush steppe and other arid rangeland plant communities. Maintenance of plant community structure through ecological feedbacks such as facilitation of nutrient cycling and uptake by host plants, physical and chemical contributions to...

  • A Numerical Investigation of the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations on Salt-Encrusted Flat Sabkha

    Creator:
    Refaei, Raied
    Abstract:
    Salt-encrusted flats, or Sabkha, are common in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide, including coastal and inland areas. Due to their low shear strength and high compressibility, these soils are often unsuitable for supporting infrastructure or structures. The unique salt content of sabkha formations sets them apart from other soil types....
