  • Trailing Edge Flap Optimization for an Upper-Surface Blown Aircraft Wing

    Creator:
    Kelly, Bryan R.
    Abstract:
    Integrated Distributed Electric Augmented Lift (IDEAL) applies upper surface blowing in a novel way to achieve electric short take-off and landing to meet the growing need for urban air transportation. Additional research on propulsion airframe interaction (PAI) with trailing edge flaps at low Reynolds numbers was necessary to advance the...

  • Modeling the Fusion Reaction in an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Reactor with the Particle-in-Cell Method

    Creator:
    van de Lindt, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Nuclear fusion has the potential to meet the energy needs of our civilization for centuries to come and does not produce harmful greenhouse gasses or produce long-lasting radioactive waste. A fusion reaction can be readily demonstrated in a confinement scheme known as inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion. In this work,...

  • Development of a Field Arsenic Test Utilizing PEG Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Patel, Kian
    Abstract:
    Arsenic in its inorganic form is naturally present in groundwater. Continued exposure to arsenic contaminated water can result in long lasting health complications, ranging from cognitive development issues to cancer. One method which may be convertible to a field test is the use of PEG functionalized gold nanoparticles which aggregate...

  • Examining Wildlife Interactions with Large Wood In Streams

    Creator:
    Trevarrow, Ezmie R.
    Abstract:
    It is well known that in-stream large wood affects river channel shape, sediment deposits, stream flow, and available habitat for aquatic species. However, less is known about how wildlife interact with this large wood. Previous research has shown that small mammals and birds utilize woody debris in river channels for...

  • Toward an Optimal Working Distance for Hyperspectral Imaging of Wood

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Michelle T.
    Abstract:
    The forest products industry relies on the production of high-quality wood to satisfy consumer requirements. Improving wood quality requires an effective and inexpensive technique for measuring critical properties such as density and microfibril angle. An emerging technology known as near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR HSI) essentially captures surface images of samples...

  • Young Adult Breast Cancer Survivors’ Experiences with Body Image Changes

    Creator:
    Benoit, Lindsey M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to identify the issues relating to body image in young adult breast cancer survivors, and to observe which physical issues are related to which psychological issues. Participants were recruited through Army of Women and through social media. The study partcipants were 29 English-speaking female...

  • Utilization of ground peanut husk as an alternative fiber material for particleboard

    Creator:
    Newton, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

  • The production of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) over time with change in substrate type, temperature, and mineral soil inclusion

    Creator:
    Stanton, Alexandria H.
    Abstract:
    Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) originates from organic matter. Climate and vegetation have been found to alter DOC production. The goal of this study was to determine where the differences in DOC production originate from. Mineral soil and substrate including maple leaves, needles, old wood, and sticks were collected from the...
