Design and simulation of a self-powered neutron spectrometer

Creator:: Kropp, Edward K.
Abstract:: A self-powered neutron detector (SPND) is a device that, coupled with a current meter, provides a readout proportional to neutron population. This thesis discusses the design parameters of an array of such devices, their characteristics, and the use of these devices as a self-powered neutron spectrometer (SPNS) to provide information...

(In)visible women: Representation and Conceptualization of Gender in Water Governance and Management

Creator:: Best, Jaclyn P.
Abstract:: Although there is a substantial body of work on the inclusion of women in traditionally male-dominated processes of water management and water governance (Earle & Bazilli, 2013), these efforts have mostly been concentrated in the Global South and women are still lacking in positions with decision-making power, making water governance...

Transforming STEM Education and Empowering STEM Educators Through Collaborative Learning: Co-creating Critical Identities through Social Justice and Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies

Creator:: Hale, Karla M.
Abstract:: Despite ongoing initiatives and research efforts, the persistent underrepresentation of marginalized groups in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines in the U.S. has seen little improvement. This study posits that a fundamental change in teacher preparation can lead to more inclusive STEM learning environments. It centers on the development...

Bridging Ways of Knowing to Model the Dynamics of Fire as an Ecocultural Process on Frequent Fire Landscapes of the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Greenler, Skye M.
Abstract:: Wildfire impacts have intensified in many ecosystems across the western United States due to the combined impact of fire exclusion, climate change, and land management practices. However, on many of these landscapes, fire is a fundamental ecological process that has shaped vegetation structural and compositional diversity, ecosystem function, landscape pattern,...

Controlling the Co-Precipitation of Colloidal PbSe Quantum Dots and Their Device Performance in a Diode Architecture

Creator:: McCrea, Tyler D.
Abstract:: In this work, colloidal PbSe quantum dots (QDs) are shown to be synthesized in a controlled manner by changing the growth time and reaction temperature in a microwave synthesis method. It is explained why quantum dots make such a unique material to create electronic devices and the specific benefits that...

Theoretical predictors of successfully transitioning from supervised to home-based (unsupervised) exercise programs among elderly women with breast cancer

Creator:: Loprinzi, Paul D.
Abstract:: Supervised exercise interventions can elicit numerous positive health outcomes in breast cancer survivors. However, to maintain these benefits, exercise needs to continue long after the supervised program. This may be difficult, as in this transitional period (i.e., time period immediately following a supervised exercise program), breast cancer survivors are in...
