  • Engineering a Profiling System for a Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler

    Creator:
    Shannon, Robert J.
    Abstract:
    ROSS (Robotic Oceanographic Surface Sampler) is an autonomous boat, equipped with oceanographic sensors, used for studying the ocean’s surface. One of its advantages over traditional research vessels is its ability to sample near glaciers, an area too dangerous for manned ships. In order to properly ascertain deep ocean heat’s effect...

  • Wireless Multi-Sensor Patch for Wind Turbine Impact Detection

    Creator:
    Wilson, Calder
    Abstract:
    Bird and bat collisions with wind turbines are a problem that needs to be better quantified for its impact to be fully understood. This thesis documents portions of the design of a sensor patch module for use on wind turbines blades to detect impacts caused by birds and bats. This...

  • A multi-faceted method for validating emotional intelligence

    Creator:
    Reyna, Nicholas R.
    Abstract:
    The Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT) purports to assess emotional intelligence, which includes the ability to successfully identify and manage emotions. To test the validity of this claim, 21 students took the MSCIET along with a several other performance measures and personality scales, and their scores were correlated. The MSCEIT...

  • Friends For Lonely Gods: A Fantasy Linked Short Story Collection

    Creator:
    Marie-Rose, Madeleine A.
    Abstract:
    In real life, reputation and community can shape a person’s identity, actions, and fate. The goal of this thesis is to explore those connections through the lens of a fantasy universe where humans and fictional gods clash and coexist. These gods are not all-knowing and powerful, but fallible individuals who...

  • An Interactive Tool for Teaching Transmission Line Concepts

    Creator:
    Scheible, Keaton
    Abstract:
    In college transmission lines courses, students are expected to understand how different circuit configurations affect the signals on a transmission line. Having a way to visualize these signals can greatly improve their learning experience. This thesis details the development of an open source, interactive learning tool used to illustrate fundamental...

  • Chandler Loop Model for the Development of Dynamic Hemocompatibility Assays

    Creator:
    Hasbrook, AnneMarie V.
    Abstract:
    A common issue with extracorporeal medical devices is blood clotting due to bio-incompatibility. Systemic anticoagulants are often prescribed to mitigate the coagulation issues. However, such drugs can lead to further complications, for example hemorrhaging. One solution to improve the hemocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices are biomaterials, such as slippery liquid...

  • Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

    Creator:
    Strahl, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...

  • Deposition and Characterization of Pb(Zr₁₋ₓTiₓ)O₃ Thin Films on IGZO and ZTO Substrates for Microelectromechanical Systems

    Creator:
    Maack, Bryan A.
    Abstract:
    Pb(Zr₁₋ₓTiₓ)O₃ (PZT) is a common piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin film material with a wide variety of applications, including ferroelectric random access memories, novel thin film transistors, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The most common substrate for PZT in all of these areas has been platinum-coated silicon. Alternative substrates are desired for...
