  • Numerical Effects on Timing System Pathways

    Creator:
    Steiner, Samantha K.
    Abstract:
    Studying human’s ability to estimate temporal durations could lead to a greater understanding of our cognitive abilities as well as the processes that underlie temporal estimation. It has been shown through previous research that time and number may be interconnected cognitively and that the magnitude of one may alter the...

  • Help Me Out! How Coworkers Can Influence Genuine Emotions

    Creator:
    Larson, Brody L.
    Abstract:
    On a daily basis, employees in the service industry manage their emotional and physical displays, both to their coworkers and customers. Whether this management is for personal gain or organizational requirement, these attempts to manage other’s impressions can have important personal effects. Specifically, when managing emotional displays to customers, there...

  • Creating a Climate for Inclusion in Hospital Settings

    Creator:
    Tiffin, Rylie G.
    Abstract:
    In this paper we investigate how hospitals can create a more inclusive climate in their organizations that can foster an environment where all employees and, in turn, patients feel welcome. We ask the question of whether it is leaders or employees that have the agency to create this climate that...

  • Systemic barriers encountered by Latinas in engineering

    Creator:
    Coto, Paula
    Abstract:
    Latinas in engineering face discrimination on the intersectionality of their two identities, Latinx and woman. The barriers that happen to them as an indirect effect of previous or existing institutional systems of oppression are called systemic barriers. Coming from the lens of four subjects, in a ranking of the barriers...

  • Detection and Segmentation of Bird Song in Noisy Environments

    Creator:
    Neal, Lawrence W.
    Abstract:
    Recent work in machine learning concerns the detection and identification of bird species from audio recordings of their vocalizations. Such analysis can yield valuable ecological information concerning the activity and distribution of species in the wild. Current species-identification methods require individual syllables of bird audio as input, but field-collected audio...

  • Are they what they eat? A stable GIT microbiome characterized in P. resecata

    Creator:
    Gustafson, Tarah N.
    Abstract:
    Intertidal herbivores, such as isopods, help regulate and contribute to nutrient cycling and organic carbon flow through the trophic levels in estuaries and coastal ecosystems. Though much is known about the microbiomes of macrophyte leaves that serve as the primary food source for isopods, and (to a lesser extent) the...

  • Site-Specific Modification of Glucose Proteins Enabling Precise Surface Orientation For Glucose Sensors

    Creator:
    Wolfenden, Nurhayati
    Abstract:
    An ideal labeling reaction between protein and surface should generate a protein-patterned surface with control over the orientation of the desired protein. Controlling orientation would generate a homogeneous, un-fouled protein surface and allow for maximum efficiency in regards to the activity, reactivity, and stability of the protein. In this research...

  • Solar Thermal Energy System for Renewable Desalination

    Creator:
    McLaughlin, Ryan P.
    Abstract:
    Natural freshwater availability is decreasing as the global population increases. Advances in desalination technologies aim to produce fresh water in an economical way. More sustainable energy sources are desired for these desalination plants to limit the carbon footprint of water production since global carbon dioxide production is exacerbating freshwater scarcity....

  • Investigation of the effects of cryopreservation on cellular viability and mechanical integrity of the intervertebral disc

    Creator:
    Forcier, Ryan J.
    Abstract:
    Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a phenomenon that has yet to be adequately addressed. Treatment options remain limited and incomplete. The ability to effectively cryopreserve IVDs would allow for better allograft transplantations and storage of samples for research purposes. This study aimed to assess how cryopreservation with different...

  • Improving the Photostability and Recovery of Organic Semiconductors

    Creator:
    Tollefsen, Ryan J.
    Abstract:
    This work aims to broaden use of the organic semiconductor pentacene (Pn) by means of improving its oxidation and photodimerization stability. In particular, we study the photophysical properties of functionalized Pn derivatives with side groups R in amorphous thin film, referred to as Pn-R-F8 when fluorinated. Using the optics experiments...
