Freeze-thaw cycles in permafrost soils and their impacts on the climate: A literature review

Creator:: Bergmann, Maya K.
Abstract:: Climate change is occurring at an increasingly rapid rate, with impacts heightened in the cold regions of the world including the Arctic. Warming effects are widespread, with one impacted process – freeze-thaw cycles – increasing in frequency and potentially triggering additional changes in permafrost soils that have previously acted as...

Comparison of Aqueous Cu⁺², Pb⁺², and Zn⁺² Adsorption with Pyrolyzed Hazelnut Shells and a Commercially Produced High-Carbon Fly Ash

Creator:: Steigerwald, Jessica Marie
Abstract:: Contamination of stormwater with Cu⁺², Pb⁺², and Zn⁺² has become an important issue with recognition of the neurotoxic effects of these metal ions on aquatic life. Low levels of aqueous Cu⁺² disrupt olfactory functioning in endangered Pacific Northwest salmon, decreasing their ability to avoid predation. One common solution is stormwater...

The Effect of Temperature on the Survival of Chinook Eggs and Fry

Creator:: Teose, Maarika
Abstract:: Temperature data from above and below the Cougar Dam collected by the U.S. Geological Survey prior to the construction of the temperature control structure was analyzed to determine how the di®ering temperature regimes a®ect the growth and survival of threatened spring- run Chinook salmon. An ARIMA time-series model was used...

Finite Element and Finite Difference Methods for Maxwell’s Equations in Metamaterials

Creator:: Stallcup, Isaac A.
Abstract:: In this thesis, we consider Maxwell's Equations and their numerical discretization using finite difference and finite element methods. We first describe Maxwell's equations in linear dielectrics and then present finite difference and finite element methods for this case. We then describe Maxwell's equations in linear metamaterials using the Lorentz and...

Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

Creator:: Snyder, Thomas
Abstract:: Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

"Wars Do Not Make One Great": Race, Empire, and Orientalism in Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Creator:: Shakibnia, Mohammed H.
Abstract:: This project explores how science fiction can be used to examine social justice issues in our contemporary world. I will explore two case studies from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series through a framework of race, empire, and orientalism. Walidah Imarisha’s notion of “visionary fiction” is utilized as...

Consistent Histories Formulation of the Double-Slit Experiment

Creator:: Bauml, Benjamin N.
Abstract:: The standard interpretation of quantum mechanics (known as the Copenhagen interpretation) divides the world into quantum phenomena and classical observers that perform measurements upon the phenomena. This provides a quite functional framework for calculating probabilities of measurement outcomes, but it lacks the generality necessary for such things as retrodiction, and...

The Effect of Chiropractic Treatment on Biomechanical Imbalances and Pain Response in Horses

Creator:: Prichard, Taylor M.
Abstract:: Chiropractic treatment is used to reduce stiffness and pain. While more thoroughly studied in humans, it has been shown to be effective in horses, but relatively little evidence exists to quantify the benefits. To address this shortcoming, four methods were used to assess the effects of chiropractic treatment in horses...

Acupuncture prevents the postpartum reduction in matrix metalloproteinase type-2 concentration and enzyme activity in bovine caruncles

Creator:: Hiebel, Katrina A.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of acupuncture in dairy cows on caruncular matrix metalloproteinase type-2 (MMP2) tissue concentration and enzyme activity at 0, 2, and 4 hours after calving. Immediately after natural calving, a caruncle was obtained from the body of the uterus and flash...

Sulforaphane Regulation of LncRNA in a Transplacental Nrf2 Knockout Mouse Model Exposed to Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene

Creator:: Patel, Karan A.
Abstract:: Dibenzo[def,p]chrysene (DBC) is a highly potent, but less prevalent, environmental carcinogen belonging to a class of compounds known as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). They are highly ubiquitous and arise as a byproduct of natural and anthropogenic combustion processes. Previous studies have documented carcinogenic effects upon in utero exposure of PAHs....
