  • The particle on a ring in polymer quantum mechanics : a quantum cosmology analogue on a compact space

    Creator:
    Siebersma, Maxwell R.
    Abstract:
    Loop quantum gravity is a framework for quantizing general relativity which imposes a discrete structure on space. In exploring the structure of loop quantum gravity, researchers have investigated loop quantum cosmology, a toy model with reduced degrees of freedom while maintaining a discrete space. Polymer quantum mechanics is a framework...

  • Exposure to the Mycotoxin Zearalenone Impairs Embryonic Development in Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Sidebotham, Nicole A.
    Abstract:
    A study was conducted to evaluate the developmental toxicity of three commonly detected mycotoxins in food (deoxynivalenol, patulin, and zearalenone) using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model. Mycotoxin exposures were carried out at five concentrations (0.0064, 0.064, 0.64, 6.4, and 64 μM). Morphological and photomotor screenings were conducted at 24 hours...

  • Consistent Histories Formulation of the Double-Slit Experiment

    Creator:
    Bauml, Benjamin N.
    Abstract:
    The standard interpretation of quantum mechanics (known as the Copenhagen interpretation) divides the world into quantum phenomena and classical observers that perform measurements upon the phenomena. This provides a quite functional framework for calculating probabilities of measurement outcomes, but it lacks the generality necessary for such things as retrodiction, and...

  • Sources of variability in duration of anesthesia with brevital sodium in snakes

    Creator:
    Preston, Daniel L.
    Abstract:
    Variability in the depth and duration of anesthesia in individuals within a species is frequently observed, yet few studies have investigated its causes in reptiles. To evaluate the potential causes of variability in reptile anesthesia, I conducted experiments to test for effects of body temperature, body composition and time post-feeding...

  • Improving the Photostability and Recovery of Organic Semiconductors

    Creator:
    Tollefsen, Ryan J.
    Abstract:
    This work aims to broaden use of the organic semiconductor pentacene (Pn) by means of improving its oxidation and photodimerization stability. In particular, we study the photophysical properties of functionalized Pn derivatives with side groups R in amorphous thin film, referred to as Pn-R-F8 when fluorinated. Using the optics experiments...

  • Investigating polymer quantum mechanics : mathematical formulation, the particle on a ring, and time evolution

    Creator:
    Seibert, Basie S.
    Abstract:
    Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...

  • Investigation of the Effects of Commercial Salmon Fishery Management in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska

    Creator:
    Fleming-Craig, Danielle
    Abstract:
    Optimal commercial fishery management sustains each salmon species' population while maximizing economic benefits. This thesis addresses two questions. What are the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's and the Board of Fisheries' intentions when conducting a fishery management plan in Upper Cook Inlet? How does it compare to its implementation?...

  • Into the Garden: Environmental Education and Resources for K-5

    Creator:
    Smith, Amira R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to address barriers that K-5 educators face when implementing environmental education in classrooms. An in-depth study of the history of environmental education in the United States identifies primary barriers and issues. Focusing specifically on garden education programs, six lesson plans for K-5 were created to address the...

  • Poly-ion Layers in Layer by Layer Coating of Bacteria : Growth and Zeta Potential

    Creator:
    Latta, Emma N.
    Abstract:
    To determine the best poly-ion layers to be used in encapsulation of pyrrolizidine alkaloid degrading anaerobic microbes, a study was carried out to test three layers on coating ability and ability of the bacteria to grow after being coated. Two positive layers, poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and poly-L-lysine, and one negative...

    Creator:
    Chac, Christina L.
    Abstract:
    YouTube is a free video watching and uploading site that allows endorsing and sharing of videos. Youth and adolescents as top viewers of YouTube may be exposed to images and messages on tobacco, marijuana and alcohol use behaviors. The research project entailed deriving a list of songs from the 2014...
