    Creator:
    Wilson, Taylor Anne
    Abstract:
    Many economic development methods over the years have tried to solve the problem of poverty with varied success. Microenterprise development is a method that works with the poor to create small self-run businesses to increase their income, and therefore bring more freedom from disease illiteracy and discrimination.

  • Near earth object collisional mitigation via intense neutron and photon sources : a study in asteroid interdiction and energy coupling

    Creator:
    Sanders, JC
    Abstract:
    The large population of 2r>100m near earth objects (NEOs) presents a certain hazard to life on earth. It has been proposed that a nuclear device may be used to alter the course of such objects, thereby averting a catastrophic collision with the earth. The asteroid interdiction problem includes a number...

  • Believable automotive flocking model

    Creator:
    McGregor, Jessica L.
    Abstract:
    The high cost of manually producing background characters creates a demand for a way to automatically generate plausible behaviors. These background extras need to behave in a manner that is believable such that they do not distract the focus of the audience from the primary action occurring in the scene....

    Creator:
    Smith, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    Our research was focused mainly on the field of plasma physics and the creation of plasmas in a laboratory environment. We first began our project with the goal to develop a tabletop Tokamak, a doughnut shaped device that magnetically confines plasmas at pressures greater than one atmosphere. After researching this...

    Creator:
    Bauer, Lisa M.
    Abstract:
    Fire blight is a serious disease of apple and pear trees caused by the bacterium, Erwinia amylovora. This bacterium harbors a pathogenesis mechanism known as the Hrp secretory operon which induces some resistance genes and suppresses other resistance genes in the host plant following invasion. While previous researchers analyzed expression...
