Robotic Actuation and Control with Programmable, Field-Activated Material Systems

Creator:: Bira, Nicholas P.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents novel, field-activated smart material systems for the actuation and control of autonomous robots. Smart materials, a type of material whose properties can be changed with an external stimuli, represent a promising direction to expand upon existing robotic control and actuation methods, particularly in the sub-fields of soft...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

Creator:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

Detection, biosynthesis, and structural investigations of naturally occurring alkynes and other microbial metabolites

Creator:: Back, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Natural products have long been an important source of resources for humans. Many of these compounds possess unique chemical structures and potent biological properties. By targeting natural products with specific chemical properties, we can gain a better understanding of the roles these compounds play in the environment and their interactions...

The psychological affect of modern and traditional schools on students' self-concepts, self-adjustment and social adjustment

Creator:: Ross, Dorian Mordecai Roseman
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between modern and traditional schools and children's self-concepts. In order to do this, it was necessary to describe and define the phenomenon "self-concept" as used in education and to describe what the author meant by modern...

Counterfactual thinking applied to multiagent systems

Creator:: Zerbel, Nicholas
Abstract:: Multiagent approaches are well suited to designing autonomous solutions for systems that feature complex interactions between many individuals such as in autonomous traffic systems and multi-robot exploration systems. However, creating autonomous agents that function effectively in these systems is a challenging task. In these complex environments, agents need informative reward...

Second nature : domestication as experiment and metaphor in 20th century American psychobiology

Creator:: Blanchard, Nicholas
Abstract:: By 1900 domestication was a promising, if somewhat vexed, subject in biology. Volumes had been written about domestication, but little serious scientific inquiry was directed toward the phenomenon. Expertise lay with practical men, primarily breeders and fanciers. The bulk of scientific commentary on domestication came from anthropologists who derived theories...

Supporting merge comprehension when resolving merge conflicts

Creator:: Nelson, Nicholas
Abstract:: Distributed version control allows developers to manage software evolution among distributed development teams. But it does not eliminate all consistency and concurrency issues, and instead introduces additional complexity when merging code. And resolving merge conflicts is nontrivial when automated merging fails. In such cases, developers are forced to inspect the...

Coastal Soil and Structure Behavior during Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazards

Creator:: Qiu, Yingqing
Abstract:: Coastal multi-hazards, i.e., earthquakes followed by tsunamis, induce severe damage to coastal infrastructure. The multi-hazards can cause soil liquefaction, which is one of the major concerns for evaluating sediments transport potential and structure failure mechanisms. The objectives for this work is threefold. First, to build and validate a soil numerical...
