  • Bee’s Eye View: Using Multispectral Photography to Simulate Bee’s View of Flowers in Natural Settings

    Creator:
    Bruslind, Svea
    Abstract:
    Scientists have long recognized that bees and other insects respond to floral color, including ultraviolet (UV) floral patterns that are invisible to the human eye. While previous research has focused on isolating and capturing these UV markings in laboratory settings, methods that could be used in natural settings needed to...

  • Applied Computing Techniques for Holographic Optical Tweezers

    Creator:
    Gruss, Daniel
    Abstract:
    Optical tweezers are capable of trapping micron sized particles through the transfer of the momentum of light. These capabilities are expanded through the use of computer controlled holograms for beam shaping. This hologram creation is facilitated through the use of a spatial light modulator, which is a liquid crystal device...

  • Using PCR techniques to assess Chlamydia trachomatis genome

    Creator:
    Moo-Fuentes, Jordi C.
    Abstract:
    Chlamydia possesses an immense importance within both human and animal medicine when looking at pathogens. Chlamydia trachomatis infections have been shown to affect both the eye and genital tracts in millions of humans and animals every year [13]. As C. trachomatis strains are highly conserved in patients, it has made...

  • Asperger’s Syndrome: research and personal insight into characteristics and intervention techniques

    Creator:
    Rinaldi, David Brian
    Abstract:
    Through examination of empirical evidence on individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and related Pervasive Developmental Disorders, the author attempts to provide an overview of the social deficiencies associated with these disorders. Points of primary concern are the social deficiencies in developing competence in experience-sharing and demonstrating empathy, especially in how they...

  • Location of the neutral axis in wood beams

    Creator:
    Holm, Sarah C.
    Abstract:
    It is commonly accepted that for the analysis of wood beams, the neutral axis coincides with the centroid of the beam. Although this assumption is used in analysis, wood is not an isotropic material, as it has different elastic properties in the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, nor is it...

  • Optimizing Methods to Assess Nanoparticle Biodistribution in Embryonic Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Pfarr, Shaylin H.
    Abstract:
    As nanoparticle (NP) research and development expands, the significance of NP biodistribution effects on toxicity increases. A reliable method for measuring NP biodistribution is critical. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is capable of accurately quantitating NP biodistribution within embryonic zebrafish with incredibly high precision. Before HSI processing, the embryo must be sectioned...

  • Analysis, testing, and redesign of an environmental control system for an engine dynamometer

    Creator:
    Morris, Taylor H.
    Abstract:
    This project analyzes, tests, and redesigns an environmental control system for Global Formula Racing’s (GFR) dynamometer. It seeks to develop a working system to test GFR’s car engine under air conditions similar to those faced during competition. A model is developed to predict the performance of the environmental control system,...

  • Comparison of the Longevities of Roman and Modern Construction Projects

    Creator:
    Taylor, David D.
    Abstract:
    Throughout Europe, Northern Africa, and the Near East, hundreds of Roman ruins lie scattered about. Many Roman aqueducts, bridges, roads, and even buildings remain standing over two thousand years after their construction, as functional as the day they were built. In the modern United States, however, many public works projects...

  • 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 Effect of Handedness on User Speed and Accuracy in Interaction with Special-purpose Handheld Digital Devices

    Creator:
    Bengtson, Lucas
    Abstract:
    This project studied how a user's handedness affects his or her ability to use a special-purpose handheld digital device such as a digital camera or rangefinder. More specifically, it sought to identify how handedness affects speed and accuracy when navigating within a menu system. 24 participants were given 8 menu...
