  • Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

    Creator:
    Embleton, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

  • The Role of Syndecan-1 in Arterial Mechanotransduction

    Creator:
    Steyer, Benjamin G.
    Abstract:
    Hemodynamic forces regulate vascular homeostasis and arterial structure through mechanical stimuli by a process called mechanotransduction. Cellular response to mechanical forces involves coordination between cell surface receptors and intracellular signaling pathways. While previous work has focused on the role of integrin receptors in mechanotransduction, little is known about the role...

  • Dashboard Effectiveness is More Complex than Key Performance Indicators: Feedback mechanisms are the foundation of dashboard success

    Creator:
    Beeks, Kameron P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis serves as a literature review of dashboards that calls for further research in the area of Feedback Mechanisms (FMs). A dashboard, for the purposes of this paper is a display used to provide performance feedback to a user. An FM is the mechanism used in a dashboard to...

  • Molecular origins of peptide entrapment within polyethylene oxide brush layers

    Creator:
    Lampi, Marsha C.
    Abstract:
    Effective surface coatings for tissue-contacting medical devices should prevent both biofilm formation and infection. One method to achieve this aim is protein repellant polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush coatings loaded with antimicrobials. Previous research has demonstrated that the antimicrobial nisin adsorbs to PEO brush layers in multi-layer amounts and suggests that...

  • The Parochialism of Instrumental Science

    Creator:
    Southall, Ketchetwahmeegwun Tecumseh
    Abstract:
    With the continual growth of scientific knowledge and ever-increasing arguments for science as the end-all “objective” system of knowledge, a severe criticism and analysis of science and its history is direly needed. Within this paper, I use the work of Max Horkheimer, the Frankfurt School, Martin Buber, and others to...

  • Quantification of Lithium via Redox Titration and pH Titration – A Method Comparison

    Creator:
    Hebert, Joseph J.
    Abstract:
    Lithium serves an unparalleled role for high energy-density storage applications and is vital for the continued advancement of the world economy. However, global supply is heavily reliant on lithium deposits situated in select locations, creating unpredictability in the price and concerns for the sustained production of the resource. Additionally, future...

  • A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots

    Creator:
    Bernasconi, Abigail A.
    Abstract:
    Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of...
