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...

Effect of Focus of Attention on Rate of Torque Development in the Knee Extensors

Creator:: Kiff, Adam B.
Abstract:: Background: The ability to produce rapid muscle force and joint torque is important for performance in sports, injury prevention and rehabilitation, and balance recovery. One way to measure rapid torque production is rate of torque development (RTD), which is the slope of the torque-time curve. Interventions aimed at increasing RTD...

Relationship between rate of torque development and contractile impulse in three muscle groups

Creator:: Wright, Jaime M.
Abstract:: Background: The capability of an individual to produce force rapidly is important for performance of sporting activities and to stabilize a joint to protect against injury. Rate of torque development (RTD) and contractile impulse (CI) may be more effective than peak torque in assessing rapid torque production. The relationship between...

The Effects of Exhaustive Exercise on ACL Injury Risk

Creator:: Asplund, Christopher
Abstract:: Background: Certain knee movements place the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) at risk of injury. These injuries commonly affect athletes especially at the end of events. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exhaustive exercise on frontal plane hip and knee mechanics during two tasks in order...

Radioactive Isotope Matching for an Embedded System

Creator:: Wagner, Samuel T.
Abstract:: The goal of this project is to create a lightweight radioactive isotope identification program for an embedded system using the C programming language to perform isotope matching on a subset of isotopes. First, the physics behind radioactive spectra and their key features are explained. Next, the characteristics of the spectra...

Student Motivation, Introductory Calculus Based Physics (PH 211) and Project Based Learning, Oh My!

Creator:: Settelmeyer, Samuel T.
Abstract:: Using research on student motivation as well as Project-Based Learning as a theoretical framework, this thesis outlines the creation process for a set of curricula. These curricula were designed to address topics of markedly low student motivation in the first term of an introductory physics with calculus course (PH 211)...

Design and Shakedown Testing of an Aqueous Dynamic Reference Electrode

Creator:: Brackbill, Anneli
Abstract:: For next-generation molten salt reactors, there is a need to be able to characterize the corrosion of the molten salts contained within them. One such tool that may be used to accomplish this is a dynamic ref- erence electrode, or DRE. Here, an aqueous dynamic reference electrode (aDRE) was developed,...

Application of Spectroscopic Techniques for In-Situ Oxygen Monitoring in Liquid Sodium

Creator:: Walton, Seth L.
Abstract:: In liquid sodium environments like those proposed for next-generation sodium fast reactors (SFRs), the presence of impurities in the sodium, particularly chemical species containing oxygen, can lead to increased corrosion on sodium-wetted components. It is important to monitor oxygen concentration in the sodium melt, but temperatures of 500 ℃ and...

Comparison of Joint Moments and Joint Contributions to Total Support Moment during the Propulsive Phase of a Triple Hop Task between Healthy and ACL Reconstructed Females

Creator:: Emma Gibbs
Abstract:: Recent research suggests that individuals might use compensatory movement patterns in their ACL-reconstructed (ACLR) limb when performing a triple hop (TH) to overcome quadriceps weakness. The purpose of this study was to determine if ACLR females exhibit differences in TH performance compared to previously uninjured females. Nineteen females with ACLR...

The lag–luminosity correlation in time-resolved episodes of long gamma-ray bursts

Creator:: Kowash, Samuel J.
Abstract:: We present an analysis of the relationship between spectral lag and luminosity in time-resolved segments of long gamma-ray bursts detected by BATSE, an experiment aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite. For full bursts, there is a well-established correlation between the lag, which is easily computed, and the total burst...
