  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

  • Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

    Creator:
    Harms, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

  • Does Athleticism Moderate Reactions to Diverse Images?

    Creator:
    Gregory, Charlotte
    Abstract:
    There is significant evidence that an increase in social media usage causes changes to mood and feelings about the self. It has also been found that there is a significant relationship between the extent of social media usage consumption and self-perception. Mimicking social media exposure, I focused on how participants...

  • Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Chemical Modulation of MOF-74(Ni)

    Creator:
    Aldossary, Abdulrahman N.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous material distinguished for high free empty volume and pore tunability. MOF-74(Ni) was previously shown to be effective in adsorbing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen. Microwave-assisted synthesis of MOF-74(Ni) was shown to lower reaction time from days to hours. In this thesis, experimental conditions of...

  • Fluid dynamic analysis of fluid flow in a raceway tank for cultivation of macrophytic red algae, Gracilaria vermiculophylla

    Creator:
    Willis, Myles
    Abstract:
    As new cost-effective cultivation methods are needed for macrophytic red algae, this experiment expands upon a previously studied land-based approach. The experiment aimed to determine how the fluid dynamics of a previously researched land-based method affected the growth of the macrophytic red alga, Gracilaria Vermiculophylla. A clonal culture of G....

  • Investigation of MoS2 with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

    Creator:
    Dardzinski, Derek P.
    Abstract:
    Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has potential applications as a low-cost catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Defects on MoS2, such as edge sites and sulfur vacancies, are known to be the major active sites for HER. Controlling the formation of these defects allows for the enhancement in reactivity of MoS2...

  • UV-assisted lipoic acid ligand exchange of copper indium disulfide-zinc sulfide core-shell quantum dots

    Creator:
    Porth, Lane D.
    Abstract:
    Water-soluble quantum dots obtained through ligand exchange are widely applicable for biological imaging and marking, LEDs, and photovoltaics. Lipoic acid (LA) was reduced to dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA) using 365-nm soft UV light in a process known as photoligation, and ligand exchange with dodecanethiol-capped CuInS₂-ZnS core-shell quantum dots occurred. The reaction...

  • A critical analysis of the globalization of English in the U.S. and abroad

    Creator:
    De Lora, Emily
    Abstract:
    Although thousands of volunteers from the United States go abroad each year to teach English, many are unprepared for their experiences. Undergraduate students teaching in a foreign country seem to lack training in educational methodology or foreign relations that would prepare them for teaching and living abroad. This project was...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

  • Examining the Relationship Between Parent and Child Health in Young Children with Developmental Disabilities

    Creator:
    Heinonen, Gregory A.
    Abstract:
    Childhood obesity is an extensively research topic as it effects a large number of individuals and has serious consequences on those effected. Current statistics estimate roughly 17% of the youth population is now obese. However, the spread of these cases is not equally distributed. Certain populations are at increased risk...
