  • TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

    Creator:
    Oster, Sidney C.
    Abstract:
    The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...

  • An Exploration on the Cultural Appropriation of Traditional Chinese Fashion

    Creator:
    Liang, Vicki
    Abstract:
    Throughout the course of fashion, much inspiration has been sourced by designers from ethnic cultures. Chinese fashion specifically has been referenced and reinterpreted by Western creatives for many years, either by incorporating elements of traditional garments or presenting them in an inappropriate manner. Such activities have garnered accusations of cultural...

  • “Narco-Deforestation” in Central American Protected Areas: Developing A Spatiotemporal Proxy Database for Drug-Trafficking Activities from Media Reporting

    Creator:
    Cameron, Olivia Z.
    Abstract:
    On a global scale, illicit economies have dramatic impacts on the physical environment. Cocaine trafficking has been recognized as a major driver of deforestation inside Central American protected areas. A key problem in studying and managing the environmental impacts of illicit economic activity is the difficulty in obtaining reliable data....

  • The Axiom of Choice and Homotopy Type Theory

    Creator:
    Schneider, Eric
    Abstract:
    In this work we introduce some basic concepts within homotopy type theory (HoTT), a proposed alternative mathematical foundation to classical set theory. In particular, our discussion revolves around the Axiom of Choice (AC). In Part I, we introduce the classical AC and some of its most important equivalents. In Part...

  • Thin Film Bi-based Perovskites for High Energy Density Capacitor Applications

    Creator:
    Shear, Colin David
    Abstract:
    Pulsed laser deposition was used to create 0.1-Bi(Zn₀.₅ Ti₀.₅)O₃-0.9-BaTiO₃ (BZT-BT) thin films to examine the effects of laser energy (2.25 or 2.5 J/cm²) , pulse frequency (2 Hz or 5 Hz), and deposition temperature (550, 600, 650, and 700°C) on the electrical properties of the films. These effects were analyzed...

  • The effect of transverse shifts on the LIGO interferometer (simulation study)

    Creator:
    Fettig, Doug J.
    Abstract:
    The LIGO interferometers have reached their designed sensitivity level which is greater than any other interferometer ever built. At this point, it is important to have a proper understanding of small perturbations that might still exist (until now these issues did not come to the forefront because other more critical...

  • Studying the ancient parasitic cnidarian, Sphaerospora elegans, leads to better understanding of oligochaete diversity and myxozoan discovery

    Creator:
    Lehrburger, David J.
    Abstract:
    Myxozoans are microscopic parasites, related to corals and jellyfish. Most Myxozoa probably have two-host lifecycles that require a vertebrate (typically fish) and invertebrate (annelid or bryozoan). However no life cycle is known from the Sphaerospora lineage. I hypothesized that the life cycle of Sphaerospora elegans, a myxozoan parasite of three-spined...

  • Quantification of Propofol in Blood Plasma and its Application to Future Clinical Research in Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine

    Creator:
    Bemis, David J.
    Abstract:
    High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry coupled with filtration, centrifugation, and other common sample preparation techniques offers a rapid and robust method for separating and quantifying propofol, a commonly used anesthetic, from human blood and its synthetic analogs. Method development is important for not only optimizing separation and quantification for a...

  • The Predictability of Qualitative Food Web Dynamics in Response to Extinction and Invasion

    Creator:
    Rockow, David J.
    Abstract:
    Food webs are extraordinarily complex, containing myriad direct interactions and indirect effects. Determining how this network of interactions and effects influences a food web’s qualitative dynamics is a challenging task, especially because data on food web structure and individual interaction strengths is unknown in virtually all real-world ecosystems. The goal...
