  • Sex differences in triple extensor rate of torque development may explain variance in vertical jump performance

    Creator:
    Wile, Dylan
    Abstract:
    Background: While males generally outperform females in athletic tasks, the underlying mechanisms for this difference remain unclear. Explosive neuromuscular performance of the triple extensors, often investigated via rate of torque development (RTD), is crucial for athletic tasks such as a vertical jump. Purpose: To assess sex differences in rapid torque...

  • Dynamic Surface Tension on the Microsecond Timescale : Thermal Inkjet Printing Applications

    Creator:
    Wilson, Madeline
    Abstract:
    This project explores the relationship between microsecond-timescale dynamic surface tension (DST) and measurable thermal inkjet printing parameters. Dynamic surface tension affects many aspects of printing, including printing speed and ink drop shape. In addition to this, DST is a physical input parameter for HP’s in-house computational fluid dynamics program. HP...
