  • The 20th Century Viennese Waltz: Nostalgia and Decadence

    Creator:
    Phan, Brian G.
    Abstract:
    The Viennese waltz is widely recognized as one of the most ubiquitous genres in classical piano literature. Despite the common characteristics that most of these waltzes share ---light, melodious themes, three-four meter, and varied tempos --- there is a large distinction between its earlier and later forms. Curiosity about its...

  • Exploring the Effects of Voice Humanness and Canned Laughter on Robot Comedy Performance

    Creator:
    Bui, Timothy G.
    Abstract:
    With robots becoming increasingly commonplace in today’s society, we need to find ways to help robots to become better accepted. One common method used to gain acceptance and build rapport is through the use of humor. Currently, research in robot comedy exists, albeit it is fairly limited. Our goal with...

  • Functionalization of Poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) for Nanoelectromechanical Devices

    Creator:
    McConnell, Chelsea A.
    Abstract:
    Innovative nanoelectromechanical switches (NEMS) have the prospects to reduce device actuation voltages as compared to traditional semiconductor devices. Current research on NEMS seeks to avoid irreversible adhesion at the nanoscopic level, which results in device failure. Minimizing leakage currents and increasing device longevity are additional goals of this approach. The...

  • Bioenergetics of Rock Climbing

    Creator:
    Collier, Casey
    Abstract:
    This study will use a COSMED K5 portable metabolic unit to expand on the limited knowledge of the energy demands of top rope rock climbing. Participants will be experienced, consistent rock climbers. Two route difficulties (5.8 and 5.10) will be analyzed using a repeated measures randomized design to determine differences...

  • A Genome-Wide, Phenotypic Screen for Genes Regulating Quorum Sensing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

    Creator:
    Gobble, Timothy Robert
    Abstract:
    The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two LuxR-LuxI type quorum-sensing systems that use diffusible acyl-homoserine lactone molecules to autoinduce and coordinate expression of multiple virulence factors. We conducted a highthroughput screen for mutants deficient in skim-milk proteolysis—a quorum-sensing dependent phenotype—using a nonredundant transposon-insertion library representing most nonessential genes in P....

  • Digital Co-Creation: An Early Stage Product Personalization Methodology to Bridge the User-Designer Void

    Creator:
    Slama, Timothy J.
    Abstract:
    Modern product development is a complex combination of multidisciplinary processes ranging from market research to design, engineering analysis, and logistics. The product development process has a significant impact on the success or failure of new product launches. The majority of consumer product launches fail, resulting in significant sunk cost in...

  • Intraspecific and Interspecific attachment between cohabitant dogs and their owners

    Creator:
    Sipple, Nicole M.
    Abstract:
    Domesticated dogs can form attachment bonds with their owners and use them as a secure base to receive comfort during distress and confidence to explore novel environments. Owners often adopt multiple dog in hopes they will have ameliorative effects during periods of absence from their owner. The purpose of this...

  • Examining the Effects on Salivary Cortisol Levels of Shelter Volunteers Interacting with Familiar Dogs

    Creator:
    Duvall, Holly K.
    Abstract:
    Heightened cortisol levels are a typical physiological response to stress. The many responsibilities of animal shelter workers can lead to increased stress levels and negative effects on their job satisfaction and overall wellness. As a result, workers are subject to burnout and compassion fatigue. While working in shelter environments may...

  • Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

    Creator:
    Hisanaga, Trevor H.
    Abstract:
    The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...
