  • Depression classification of the patients in meta-analyses studies affects the efficacy of St. John's wort

    Creator:
    Ovrebo, Heather E.
    Abstract:
    Eight studies from a meta-analysis on St. John's wort by Klaus et. al. (1996) were analyzed according to the severity of depression manifest by their patients.

  • I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo H.
    Abstract:
    The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis Selective Adenosine Kinase Nucleoside Polymers for Inhalation Therapy

    Creator:
    Snow, Erika
    Abstract:
    Respiratory illnesses caused by both viral and bacterial infection are serious issues for global healthcare providers. With the emergence of new, drug-resistant forms of these diseases, innovative drugs and treatment therapies are needed. M tuberculosis is an infection that affects a large portion of the world’s population each year. Aerosol...

  • Exploring maize pollen with microscopy: confocal, fluorescence and time-lapse imaging

    Creator:
    Hartman, Rogue D. J.
    Abstract:
    Pollen, the male product of the flower, is a crucial component in plant reproduction, as it transmits the sperm cells to the female structures, enabling fertilization and subsequent seed production. A major transition of the pollen life cycle, triggered upon pollination of female floral tissue, is from a dormant pollen...

  • Empathy-Induced Distress: A Psychophysiological Approach

    Creator:
    Karabinas, Isabella M.
    Abstract:
    Empathy is considered a significant motivator of prosocial behavior. Increasing evidence suggests that feelings of personal distress associated with empathy may be stronger or weaker according to the form of perspective taking that an empathizer utilizes. The aim of the present study was to further quantify the stress consequences and...

  • Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

    Creator:
    Hesseltine, Johnathon
    Abstract:
    Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

  • Beyond free will: an empirical case for a capacity model of human agency

    Creator:
    Helzer, Erik G.
    Abstract:
    Although the question of free will has persisted throughout the history of philosophy as an important metaphysical consideration, rarely does the inquiry include empirical evidence from other disciplines concerned with human behavior. In this interdisciplinary paper, I combine the wisdom of psychologists, metaphysicians, and philosophers of science to comment on...

  • ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar Ages and Trace Element Variations in Colombian Emeralds

    Creator:
    Svadlenak, Ellen
    Abstract:
    The Colombian emerald deposits are globally unique because they are hosted in hydrothermally altered black shales on either side of the Cordillera Oriental. We used electron microprobe analysis to study variations in trace element concentrations in transects across emeralds, and used the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar dating method to determine the age of...

  • Design and Manufacture of a Solar-Powered Snow Melter for Making Potable Water on Mt. Rainier.

    Creator:
    Hopple, Whitney K.
    Abstract:
    Every Spring and Summer, thousands of climbers attempt to summit Mt. Rainier. Many of them stop at Camp Muir, a base camp at 10,000 feet, where they can use restrooms, camp overnight, or refill water bottles before continuing their climb. Camp Muir currently uses a gas system to melt snow...
