  • An Experimental Investigation of Interstitial Air Movement in Seasonal Snow

    Creator:
    Drake, Stephen A.
    Abstract:
    Atmospheric pressure changes do not stop at the permeable snow surface but rather propagate into it. These pressure changes range from high-amplitude, low-frequency events caused by seasonal cycles and synoptic weather systems to small-amplitude, high-frequency events caused by topographic features and turbulence. The effect of pressure changes on interstitial air...

  • Random dopants and low-frequency noise reduction in deep-submicron MOSFET technology

    Creator:
    Miller, Drake A.
    Abstract:
    The future of mixed-signal, memory, and microprocessor technologies are dependent on ever increasing analog and digital integration, higher cell densities, and demand for more processing power. As a result MOSFET device dimensions continue to shrink to meet these demands. A side effect of device scaling is increased variability at each...

  • Empirical modeling of windthrow occurrence in streamside buffer strips

    Creator:
    Drake, Timothy P.
    Abstract:
    Streamside buffer strips provide numerous benefits to stream ecosystems. The buffer strips create shade, provide shelter for wildlife, act as barriers to logging debris during and after timber harvest, and serve as a continued source of large woody debris. Quantifying woody inputs resulting from windthrow provides managers with estimates for...

  • Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

    Creator:
    Drake, Griffin S.
    Abstract:
    Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...

  • A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

    Creator:
    Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
    Abstract:
    For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

  • Power Generation via a Thermoelectric Generator Driven by a Reversible Exothermic Reaction

    Creator:
    Bhatt, Renuka J.
    Abstract:
    Solar thermal energy can be stored and later converted to electrical energy using a combination of thermochemical energy storage (TCES) and a thermoelectric generator (TEG). This TEG and TCES combination illustrates a potential route for clean electricity storage from renewable energy. TCES allows for thermal energy from the sun to...

  • An Assessment of the “Sweating Sickness” Affecting England During the Tudor Dynasty

    Creator:
    Wollert, Edwin Del
    Abstract:
    While historiography and interest in Tudor England at both the popular and specialist levels presents few signs of diminishing, there may nonetheless exist a sense that we have little left to learn about this period and its culture. A notable gap in our knowledge, however, remains regarding the mysterious disease...

  • Commodification in an Ersu Tibetan village of Sichuan, China

    Creator:
    Schmitt, Edwin Anton
    Abstract:
    This ethnographic research aims to discover the implications of the commodification of production processes amongst the Ersu Tibetans of Sichuan, China. This thesis examines the commodification of Ersu agriculture and ethnic identity in the historical context of both China and the world-system. Ethnohistorical and ethnoecological methodologies are utilized to answer...

  • Characteristics of trainee counselors in terms of Eysenck's progressive scientific paradigms, intelligence, personality, & ideology, and success in graduate study

    Creator:
    Hazell, Brian Edwin
    Abstract:
    Current gross categorical models of classification for human behavior are unsatisfactory, a science by consensus that is unreliable, invalid, and gives rise to psychological tests that use sophisticated statistics to poorly mirror diagnoses that are already unreliable and without scientific validity. Both for diagnosis and progress in therapy, current diagnostic...

  • Meeting the needs of nontraditional college students? Student perspectives on proprietary school practices

    Creator:
    Bush, Floretta M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to understand, through nontraditional student perspectives, how institutional practices of postsecondary proprietary schools may influence the success of moderately to highly nontraditional students. The study was undertaken for these reasons: (a) A large and growing number of higher education students are nontraditional, putting them...
