  • COVID-19 and the mental health of college students : an oral history project

    Creator:
    Burt, Sydni M.
    Abstract:
    College students today have a lot to contend with in their journey as young adults. The college years are often a transitional time for students, and as such there is a vulnerability to mental health declines. Financial, academic, and social strain are some of the factors that can contribute to...

  • I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

    Creator:
    Valdivia, Arturo H.
    Abstract:
    The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • Empirical Analysis of Two-Phase Confined Impinging Jet Heat Transfer

    Creator:
    Damiano, Adam P.
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is explored as...

  • The Use of Fractal-Like Bifurcating Flow Channels for Biological Targeted Cooling

    Creator:
    Stottlemyre, Wyatt
    Abstract:
    In the wake of climate change, the risk of heat related illnesses has continuously increased over the past several decades. While thermal management solutions have continued to improve, there is a need for efficient cooling systems that conform with the human body. This study combines the solutions from fractal-like flow...

  • Freeze Stage Analysis of an Indirect Freeze Desalination System

    Creator:
    Whitaker, Trevor A.
    Abstract:
    Freeze desalination poses as a potential solution to many of the issues that accompany current desalination methods. The research detailed in this manuscript involves creating and analyzing a numerical model of the freezing operation of an indirect contact freeze-melting (FM) desalination system. In this initial analysis, pure water is frozen...

  • Melting Stage Analysis for Indirect Freeze Desalination

    Creator:
    Pratt, Mason G.
    Abstract:
    To investigate the melting stage of indirect freeze desalination three numerical models were developed. A zeroth, first, and second order analyses modeled the melting of ice around the outside of a pipe as a function of time. The zeroth order analysis assumes the system to be steady state. The first...

  • 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...

  • Experimental Investigation of Near-Critical Carbon Dioxide in Microchannels for High Flux Cooling Applications

    Creator:
    Travers, Kristen
    Abstract:
    With the continued decrease in size and subsequent increase in power of computer processors, thermal management in electronics is becoming more important than ever before. The chip heat densities are reaching new peaks (> 100 W cm-2) that current cooling methods are not able to keep up with. However, some...

  • Impact of Time and Temperature on Ex Vivo and Postmortem Diagnostic Assays

    Creator:
    Wachtel, Kaitlyn E.
    Abstract:
    Postmortem diagnostics play an important role in the ability to understand the cause of death of an animal. However, removal from oxygen supply, either by surgical excision or at death, leads to cell and tissue decomposition. Knowledge about factors impacting reliability of test results is extremely important for accurate diagnostics....
