  • Validation of Design For Additive Manufacturing Heuristics for Aperiodic Structures through Application to Regular Structures

    Creator:
    Schipper, Paxton
    Abstract:
    Aperiodic structures cause significant challenges to subtractive manufacturing methods due to the common features such as inaccessible voids within the structure. Additive man- ufacturing presents an appealing alternative for this purpose. The aim of this research is to test analysis heuristics for validity through application to periodic structures. First, a...

  • Investigating the Interplay of Age, Zinc Status, and the Gut Microbiome on Gut Health

    Creator:
    Vasudevan, Anusha
    Abstract:
    Zinc is an important micronutrient involved in many cellular processes, including those part of immune function; however, about 15% of the US population is at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. This can lead to immune system complications including the generation of inflammatory cytokines. Aging is another factor that worsens the...

    Creator:
    Oster, Sidney C.
    Abstract:
    The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...

  • Alternative approaches to psychosis : qualitative interviews of practitioner opinions and observations

    Creator:
    Donnerberg, Carmen
    Abstract:
    The present essay discusses themes of dehumanization and reliance on a biomedical model of care within U.S. psychiatric systems in treating individuals diagnosed with psychosis. This model is contrasted with alternative treatment approaches that are person-centered rather than disease-centered. These include Open Dialogue, Soteria, and Hearing Voices Movement. In the...

  • Turning Brake Cylinder Housing

    Creator:
    Radcliffe, Noah
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to assist the OSU Baja Racing vehicle in turning more sharply. This is done using a turning brake, which locks one rear wheel to facilitate turning on a smaller radius. This project focuses on the development of a custom cylinder housing for the turning...

  • Relation extraction with automatic ontonotes annotation and ETC

    Creator:
    Sauer, Andrew
    Abstract:
    Intuitively, it seems as though natural language processing tasks might benefit from explicit representations of the syntactic and semantic properties of text. Ontonotes is a dataset which attempts to annotate texts, to represent as much as possible of the meaning of the text explicitly within the annotation. Many tools exist...

    Abstract:
    This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on the impacts of nuclear energy on the economy and energy security of select European countries. While previous literature has identified a connection between nuclear energy and economic growth, this study focuses on assessing the comparative effects of nuclear energy, measured by operable...

  • Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...
