Embedded Reachability for Autonomous Racecar

Creator:: Jewell, Nathaniel C.
Abstract:: Reachability analysis enables the safety assurance of control systems despite uncertain initial conditions and control inputs, and can be an important component to run on-board an autonomous system. This thesis explores the characteristics of reachability analysis with different algorithmic configurations and runtime parameters running onboard the F1Tenth 1/10th-scale autonomous racing...

Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Staphylococcus aureus Sortase A Enzyme

Creator:: Bateman, Katherine B.
Abstract:: The Sortase A (SrtA) enzyme is a potential target for a new class of anti-infective drugs because it is responsible for anchoring virulence factors to the surface of pathogenic, Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. High throughput screening yielded low molecular weight compounds that inhibit purified SrtA from S. aureus....

Investigation of the roles of viral proteinases in the vaccinia virus life cycle

Creator:: Page, Jessica M.
Abstract:: An inducible, mutant virus, designated vvtetO:I7L/G1L, was used to study the morphogenic proteolysis step of the vaccinia virus life cycle. The vvtetO:I7L/G1L controlled the expression of two genes, I7L, a cysteine proteinase, and G1L, a putative metalloproteinase. These proteins are involved in the maturation of viral core proteins, p4a, p4b,...

Investigations into the Mechanism of Action of Dengue Virus Inhibitor Compounds

Creator:: Schneider, Christine A.
Abstract:: Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...

Financial reporting and the business environment : a comparison of the United States and Mexico

Creator:: Wolfer, Robert J.
Abstract:: Multinational corporations must be aware of the business and financial reporting issues that await them abroad. Investors also must have this knowledge in order to adequately interpret the financial information they receive from these companies. This study compares and contrasts the business environments in the US and Mexico, with a...

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...

UVB Radiation Affects the Quality of the Female Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake

Creator:: Vigeland, Anna E.
Abstract:: In this study, pheromone and skin lipid samples collected from red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) were exposed directly to either full-spectrum light or full-spectrum plus UVB light. In addition, female and male snakes were exposed to daily doses of either full-spectrum or full-spectrum and UVB light, after which the...

Imagining the Future into Reality: An Interdisciplinary Exploration of The Jetsons

Creator:: Myrick, Jane E.
Abstract:: This investigation examines The Jetsons’ vision of the future and tracks to what extent the content of the show is relevant to the modern era, both technologically and socially. Much of the dazzling technology in the show feels familiar, and most of it is either already available or is in...

Testing a Theoretical Model that Predicts Extinction of Populations Forced by Random, Episodic Disturbances

Creator:: Olsen, Conner J.
Abstract:: We do not fully understand reasons behind extinction of populations and species. Consequently, our ability to anticipate extinction (which can be considered a permanent type of an ecological threshold) has remained elusive. In particular, it is not clear how the attributes of episodic disturbance regimes can elicit extinction. In this...

Illegal to Exist : The Criminalization of Houselessness in the United States

Creator:: Waite, Mariah E.
Abstract:: In the United States, the state of housing and the lack thereof has been declared a national crisis. In response, cities have taken measures to police behaviors that are associated with what they perceive to be disorder and decay. These behaviors are also commonly associated with houselessness. Laws that criminalize...
