  • Analysis and Modeling of Kinetic Parameters for Urea Hydrolysis by Bacteria for Use in Calcium Carbonate Precipitation in Aquifers

    Creator:
    Neighbor, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    The use of ureolytic bacteria for the remediation of contaminated groundwater aquifers by inducing calcium carbonate precipitation is being studied in order to establish a better understanding of the modeling and prediction of how the bacteria will act in situ. This research has pursued the use of various ureolytic bacteria...

  • Speak to Us : How to Get Millennials to Vote

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Gabriel S.
    Abstract:
    It is often noted that young adults tend to be apathetic towards involvement in the political process. The aim of this study is to scratch the surface of this phenomena and, in a scientific fashion, begin to discover if this can be changed. In the study, press releases from members...

  • Experiments into plasma physics

    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...

  • Dielectric Properties of Perovskite Ceramics Based on BaTiO3 and Bi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3

    Creator:
    Sundahl, Christopher S.
    Abstract:
    The properties of (1-x)BaTiO3-xBi(Mg1/2Ti1/2)O3 (BT-BMT) ceramics were fabricated from reagent-grade ceramic powders by solid-state methods and investigated for solubility, relative permittivity, dielectric loss, polarization, and electromechanical strain. The solubility limit was found to be between x = 0.3 and 0.4. Ba-deficient samples were fabricated, corresponding to stable single-phase compositions; these...

  • Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

    Creator:
    Julianna, Winding
    Abstract:
    Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

  • Evaluating social media attention interventions

    Creator:
    Gasper, David M.
    Abstract:
    Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

  • The Search for Mitochondrial Ribonucleotide Reductase

    Creator:
    Bai, Daniel Helin
    Abstract:
    One of the distinctive features of mitochondria is that they have their own DNA. When compared to nuclear DNA, it is known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) not only has a much higher rate of spontaneous mutation, but also arises from metabolically distinct precursor pools. Others from our laboratory have demonstrated...

  • Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

    Creator:
    Mangan, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

  • Investigation, analysis and design of an experiment to test ponding loads on flexible roof systems

    Creator:
    Stark, Duncan
    Abstract:
    While damages due to ponding are common and expensive, provisions for design and construction of flat roof systems lack guidance regarding these loads. The goal of this research is to present methods of designing or building flat roofs that are less vulnerable to this condition. An investigation of the literature,...
