  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

  • Investigating Carrier Temperature in LED Quantum Well Driven Below the Turn-On Voltage

    Creator:
    Jeliazkova, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Electron behavior in semiconductor materials critically determines electronic applications. Previous research has shown carrier temperature higher than the lattice temperature of LEDs due to energy differences in the quantum well. Study of these findings requires a novel set-up to dig out weak signal in a thermal-noise filled environment; analytical methods...

  • Rapid Prototyping of Rigid & Flexible Microfluidic Devices Using Low-Cost Materials and Maker Tools

    Creator:
    Co, Megan T.
    Abstract:
    Microfluidics is an evolving field that focuses on the manipulation of small fluid volumes. Because of its micron-sized features, it is the basis for many lab-on-chip and point-of-care diagnostic devices. The devices are predominantly molded from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS); however, production is a multi-hour or multi-day process that typically requires clean...

  • Evaluating TEG Energy Harvesting Capabilities Across Naturally Occurring Temperature Gradients

    Creator:
    Estenson, Alyssa H.
    Abstract:
    Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have gained much popularity in the search for alternatives to clean sources to harvest energy. Given their capability to harness an electric potential given a temperature differential across their opposing faces, and the foreseeable prevalence of naturally and/or commonly occurring temperature gradients in multiple applications, TEGs are...

  • The effects of X-ray CT scanning on microbial communities in sediment cores

    Creator:
    Ewton, Erica
    Abstract:
    Using X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning to characterize the physical characteristics of soil and sediment cores allows scientists to observe and analyze stratigraphy without destroying the integrity of different layers. Microbiologists often work with geologists to characterize the microbial communities in such cores; however, X-rays are known to be destructive...

  • The Effects of Temperature and Working Electrode Material on the Power Output of a Hydroxymethylfurfural Fuel Cell

    Creator:
    Breen, Joshua P.
    Abstract:
    The need for clean energy continues to rise as the earth’s non-renewable resources continue to be depleted to satisfy energy demands. One plausible renewable energy source exists in biomass-powered fuel cells.¹ While there are several ways to convert sugars to energy, one interesting approach is to convert the sugars to...

  • Decoding EEG Signals to Detect and Classify Hand Movement

    Creator:
    McGrath, Patrick
    Abstract:
    Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have recently gained attention to classify associated hand movement. This is particularly useful for amputees with prostatic hands or people who are unable to move their hands voluntarily. Among the decoding algorithms used to classify hand movements are support vector machines and multilayer perceptron networks. In this...

  • E+A galaxy and spiral E+A galaxy candidates in the Hercules supercluster

    Creator:
    Williams, Rosemary H.
    Abstract:
    E+A galaxies represent an important niche in galaxy evolution as a subset of post-starburst galaxies. Set apart from other post-starburst galaxies by their rapid quenching of star formation, E+As are thought to have started their formation outside a galaxy cluster's center and have fallen inward due to gravity; the star...

  • Implementation of a Test Stand for Scintillator Development

    Creator:
    Mangan, Tymothy
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on building a test stand in order to measure novel scintillator materials’ decay times. A proof of concept prototype confirms the manufacturer decay time of EJ-204 and LYSO scintillators with good statistics and confirmation of results after calibrations. With the prototype functional, the test stand is commissioned...

  • Data driven study of neutron response in Minerva using quasielastic neutrino scattering

    Creator:
    Peters, Evan
    Abstract:
    Understanding how particles behave in detectors is a critical part of analyzing data from neutrino experiments. There are methods in place to track charged particles in scintillator material, but neutral particles such as neutrons are more difficult to characterize. The purpose of this project was to assess and calibrate methods...
