  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

    Creator:
    Siekmann, Jonah A.
    Abstract:
    Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

    Creator:
    Kinser, Riley W.
    Abstract:
    This study looks at whether two physical characteristics, physical attractiveness and perceived competence, have an impact on student analysts finding large discrepancies between current price and target price. Equity reports published online by undergraduate and MBA students involved in student investment clubs and portfolio management classes are combined with pictures...

  • Effects of Marijuana on Risky Decision-Making in Young Adult College Students

    Creator:
    Casey, Jorie L.
    Abstract:
    Marijuana (MJ) is a widely used illicit substance among adolescents and young adults. Frequent MJ use has been associated with impairments in cognitive flexibility and inhibition, both of which play important roles in decision-making. However, the impact of frequent MJ on decision-making performance is mixed and not well understood. The...

  • The effects of disruption propagation and mitigation strategies on a distribution supply chain system

    Creator:
    Hsu, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Supply chain disruptions and their propagating effects often result in negative impacts on supply chain performance, reduced profit, and an overall decrease in supply chain health. To mitigate these risks, it is important to understand the behavior of specific disruptions and to identify mitigation strategies that would be the most...

  • Perceptions of climate change in herbalism and harvesting

    Creator:
    Noall, Amelia
    Abstract:
    This study looked at the impacts of climate change on medicinal plants, and how these impacts are viewed and understood in the herbalism community. Two literature reviews were conducted, to look at each of these two ideas: the first was a review of peer-reviewed literature describing research on climate change...

  • Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics

    Creator:
    Brown, Hans
    Abstract:
    Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...

  • A critical analysis of the globalization of English in the U.S. and abroad

    Creator:
    De Lora, Emily
    Abstract:
    Although thousands of volunteers from the United States go abroad each year to teach English, many are unprepared for their experiences. Undergraduate students teaching in a foreign country seem to lack training in educational methodology or foreign relations that would prepare them for teaching and living abroad. This project was...

  • Cancer Cell Detection with Mask R-CNN

    Creator:
    Wong, Ryan
    Abstract:
    Instance segmentation, the classification and localization of objects in an image, is a problem in cellular biophysics due to the physiological relevance of cell morphology. Particularly, cancer cells migrate in tissue space by changing their body shape similarly to how humans extend their limbs to swim through water. Monitoring such...

  • Elucidating patterns of fungal epiphyte and endophyte growth on a variety of carbon substrates

    Creator:
    Thapliyal, Mrinal
    Abstract:
    Coastal Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii), a keystone species in the Pacific Northwest, relies on symbioses with microorganisms to obtain nutrients, potentially defend against pathogens, and perform a variety of other tasks. Two of the tree’s primary fungal symbionts are foliar epiphytes and endophytes, which reside on the exterior or...
