  • X-ray Emissions in Measurements of the Neutron Capture Cross Sections for the Production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt and Scoping the Science Parameter Space of Future X-ray Astrophysics Calorimeter Missions

    Creator:
    Keck, Mason L.
    Abstract:
    A spectral fitting routine was developed to analyze X-ray emissions in neutron capture decay processes that produce ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt. Through correcting for X-ray emissions, the 77.3 keV γ gamma ray intensities were analyzed. The thermal cross sections for the production of ¹⁹⁷Hg and ¹⁹⁷Pt were found to be 2088...

  • Writing A Detailed Introduction to String Theory

    Creator:
    Svesko, Andrew M.
    Abstract:
    String theory, one of the more popular approaches to quantizing gravity, is a highly complex theory, involving high level mathematics and physics. But the basic ideas of string theory are not inaccessible, even to the undergraduate. This document acts as report to my thesis project, the writing of A Detailed...

  • Women's History Lessons for High School Social Studies Classes

    Creator:
    Mallery, Adah E.
    Abstract:
    Women’s history is often not included in K-12 classes. However, women are an essential part of American history and should be better represented in the K-12 curricula and classrooms. The purpose of this thesis is to both acknowledge that women’s history is often missing in K-12 classrooms and to provide...

  • Wing Flutter Suppression via Distributed Electric Propulsion

    Creator:
    Bamberger, Joshua
    Abstract:
    This research aims to demonstrate the viability of actively controlled distributed-electric propulsion as a method to postpone flutter in high aspect-ratio elastic wings. A semi-wing on a spring mount with two propellers powered by electric motors, mounted at alternate pitch angles relative to the chord line, was used as the...

  • Wiesel's Night: A Biography

    Creator:
    Krueger, Jessica
    Abstract:
    Elie Wiesel’s Night has become a canonical work in the genre of Holocaust literature. This thesis examines the process by which Night achieved this status. An argument will be composed using, as evidence, analysis of Elie Wiesel’s life, the broad history of Holocaust literature, and the complexities surrounding Night’s publication...

  • When Normal Distributions Fail: An Application of Feature Engineering to YouTube Videos

    Creator:
    Replinger, Ian R.
    Abstract:
    YouTube has turned creating, watching, and interacting with videos into a mainstream activity and has substantial impact on modern society as the most popular video sharing site in the world. However, there is a lack of published research using statistically designed experiments which can aid content creators in making and...

  • Weight watching: Morphometric indices of ontogenetic and reproductive stages in Weddell seals

    Creator:
    Monnin, Mee-ya A.
    Abstract:
    We investigated ontogenetic changes in body morphology of Weddell seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) using three three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry, to estimate surface areas and body volumes for 42 Weddell seals. We sampled ten weaned pups, twelve juveniles (age one or two years), 11 non-breeding adult females, and 9 adult females who had...

    Creator:
    Thenell, Tasman
    Abstract:
    The Amazon basin is a natural wonder of biodiversity that serves as one of the largest single carbon storage mechanisms in the world. For these reasons, preserving the Amazon and other similar forests is a worthy goal. Protecting these spaces is not possible without understanding the threats facing animal populations...

  • Water intake structures as movement barriers for larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus)

    Creator:
    Eaton, Jordan E.
    Abstract:
    Dams, culverts, and water intake structures can impact the movement of aquatic and semi-aquatic species within streams and rivers. Datagaps exist regarding the impact of water intake structures on larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) as these obstructions may produce a barrier to up and downstream movement. The Rock Creek...
