  • Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

    Creator:
    Steiner, Samantha K.
    Abstract:
    Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

  • Help Me Out! How Coworkers Can Influence Genuine Emotions

    Creator:
    Larson, Brody L.
    Abstract:
    On a daily basis, employees in the service industry manage their emotional and physical displays, both to their coworkers and customers. Whether this management is for personal gain or organizational requirement, these attempts to manage other’s impressions can have important personal effects. Specifically, when managing emotional displays to customers, there...

  • The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

    Creator:
    Kadhim, Kyra L.
    Abstract:
    The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...

  • Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

    Creator:
    Heck, Samuel T.
    Abstract:
    This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

  • Vertical Ground Reaction Force During the Forward Lunge and Squat for Dominant and Non-Dominant Limbs in Older Adults

    Creator:
    Thompson, Ronald D.
    Abstract:
    Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance. The purpose...

  • Machine learning approach to improve drug discovery in natural product extracts

    Creator:
    Heussner, Robert T.
    Abstract:
    Current natural product (NP) research is limited by its reliance on bioassay-guided fractionation to identify bioactive compounds in mixtures. Computational approaches may improve NP research by correlating mass spectra (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) of bioactive mixtures to their bioactivity patterns. In this study, I use artificial neural...

  • Creating a Climate for Inclusion in Hospital Settings

    Creator:
    Tiffin, Rylie G.
    Abstract:
    In this paper we investigate how hospitals can create a more inclusive climate in their organizations that can foster an environment where all employees and, in turn, patients feel welcome. We ask the question of whether it is leaders or employees that have the agency to create this climate that...

  • Systemic barriers encountered by Latinas in engineering

    Creator:
    Coto, Paula
    Abstract:
    Latinas in engineering face discrimination on the intersectionality of their two identities, Latinx and woman. The barriers that happen to them as an indirect effect of previous or existing institutional systems of oppression are called systemic barriers. Coming from the lens of four subjects, in a ranking of the barriers...
