  • Rapid Prototyping of Rigid & Flexible Microfluidic Devices Using Low-Cost Materials and Maker Tools

    Creator:
    Co, Megan T.
    Abstract:
    Microfluidics is an evolving field that focuses on the manipulation of small fluid volumes. Because of its micron-sized features, it is the basis for many lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostic devices. The devices are predominantly molded from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); however, production is a multi-hour or multi-day process that typically requires clean...

  • Integrating Microfluidics and Integrated Circuits toward a CMOS-Based Cell Counter

    Creator:
    Bishop, Kevin W.
    Abstract:
    Cell counting is a key tool used in biological and clinical laboratories, but at present, commercial cell counters are large and expensive. CMOS technology is a promising platform for creating small, low-cost sensors but currently lacks a robust method of directly interfacing these sensors with the microfluidic networks needed for...

  • Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

    Creator:
    Estenson, Alyssa H.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...

  • Effect of Reaction Parameters on the Catalytic Oxidation of Poplar Lignin

    Creator:
    Lu, Lin
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

  • Thermodynamics of Laser-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of Yttrium Oxide

    Creator:
    Dhas, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...

  • Help Me Out! How Coworkers Can Influence Genuine Emotions

    Creator:
    Larson, Brody L.
    Abstract:
    On a daily basis, employees in the service industry manage their emotional and physical displays, both to their coworkers and customers. Whether this management is for personal gain or organizational requirement, these attempts to manage other’s impressions can have important personal effects. Specifically, when managing emotional displays to customers, there...

  • Differences in expression of COVID-19 related inflammatory genes in non-human primates with varying alcohol consumption

    Creator:
    Co, Amber
    Abstract:
    Severe cases of COVID-19 have been associated with cytokine storms, leading to widespread inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have also been shown to play a role in liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease. To investigate alcohol consumption as a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 severity,...

  • 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...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

    Creator:
    Karnstein, Mackenzie R.
    Abstract:
    Collaborative governance plays a significant role in forest management on public land in the Pacific Northwest. The method of governance offers the unique ability to engage a diverse range of stakeholders to reach consensus regarding forest management action. Evaluating the dynamics of the collaborative and its members is essential to...
