  • Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

    Creator:
    Thomas, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

  • Hacking RFID Tags to Produce Economical Soil Moisture Sensors

    Creator:
    Stoddard, Brett S.
    Abstract:
    Currently available soil moisture sensors have intrinsic limitations that limit their adoption by industry. Depending on the technology, these limitations may include high costs, battery requirements, precice manual installation, high cost, and/or constrictive legislation that regulates their use. A passive soil moisture sensing system based around RFID technology would allay...

  • Initial Designs for Improving Conversations for People Using Speech Synthesizers

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Duy M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to determine the impact that Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices have on social interactions, and then improves the AAC user experience through a user focus design process. AAC devices enable people who cannot speak to communicate with others. Unfortunately, they are tedious to use and make...
