  • Driver Distraction from Unmanned Aerial Systems: Evidence, Policy, and Mitigation

    Creator:
    Barlow, Zachary W.
    Abstract:
    Unmanned aerial systems (UASs), more commonly known as drones, have recently achieved commercial success for many public and private applications. As with all emerging technologies, new safety concerns and conflicts with existing paradigms are likely to arise. Many potential applications of UASs will result in their operation near roadway infrastructure,...

  • An Investigation of Student Cognitive Engagement in the STEM Classroom—A Compilation of Faculty and Student Perspectives

    Creator:
    Barlow, Allyson J.
    Abstract:
    Student engagement has been the focus of much engineering education research, in large part due to its ties to student learning. Widely considered to be a meta-construct, student engagement is often broken down into behavioral, emotional, and cognitive components. Reasons for ongoing research on student cognitive engagement are twofold: educators...

  • Ecology and Distribution of Blue Whales in New Zealand Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

    Creator:
    Barlow, Dawn R.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of mobile marine predators often reflects underlying dynamic ecological processes. The geographical focus of this PhD is the South Taranaki Bight (STB) of New Zealand, where wind-driven coastal upwelling generates productivity and prey to support a blue whale foraging ground. The STB is also New Zealand’s most industrial...

  • In their own words : divorced and widowed women, retirement, and friendships

    Creator:
    Barlow-Pieterick, Marilyn
    Abstract:
    Friends benefit both our psychological and our emotional well-being by increasing overall happiness, life satisfaction, and a positive sense of self among women. Often, however, friendships decrease in the later years. The purpose of this study is to learn more about divorced or widowed, retired women and their friendships, specifically,...

  • Immunological and physiochemical characterization of fish myosins

    Creator:
    Reed, Zachary H.
    Abstract:
    Increased sales of surimi seafood, with the majority as crabstick in the United States indicates that surimi based products are becoming more popular. With growing popularity, there is increased competition for market share. Under these circumstances, some companies may be willing to sacrifice product quality in order to facilitate manufacture...

  • Physiological effects of water stress on young corn plants

    Creator:
    Barlow, Edward William Ross
    Abstract:
    Laboratory experiments were used to investigate the mechanism of plant response to water stress by determining the sensitivity of leaf elongation, photosynthesis and transpiration in young corn plants to a decrease in leaf water potential. In initial experiments, 9 day old corn plants were grown at soil water potentials of...

  • Development of Computational, Visualization, and Molecular Tools for Fungal and Oomycete Community Ecology

    Creator:
    Foster, Zachary Stephen Longiaru
    Abstract:
    Oomycetes are an important group of organisms with a variety of ecological roles similar to fungi. Although many are well-studied plant pathogens known for their devastating effects on agricultural systems, most are little-studied saprobes and parasites of plants and animals in nearly every ecosystem on earth. The advent of affordable...

  • Exchange interaction studies in magnetic semiconductors by neutron scattering

    Creator:
    Wiren, Zachary Quincy
    Abstract:
    Theories predict that making a dilute magnetic semiconductor strongly p -type would allow it to remain ferromagnetic at room temperature. This is of intrest as a ferromagnetic semiconductor would allow for a great many applications in the field of spintronics. Neutron scattering experiments were undertaken to better understand the antiferromagnetic...

  • Some results in probability from the functional analytic viewpoint

    Creator:
    Gelbaum, Zachary A.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation presents some results from various areas of probability theory, the unifying theme being the use of functional analytic intuition and techniques. We first give a result regarding the existence of certain stochastic integral representations for Banach space valued Gaussian random variables. Next we give a spectral geometric construction...

  • Terahertz Imaging and Nonlinear Spectroscopy of Semiconductors using Plasmonic Devices

    Creator:
    Thompson, Zachary James
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a series of studies in the field of terahertz (THz) science are presented, specifically using nonlinear THz spectroscopy. We exploit huge field enhancement and subwavelength confinement in plasmonic structures. There are three distinct projects which will be discussed: nonlinear THz spectroscopy using plasmonic induced transparency (PIT), THz-triggered...
