  • Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

    Creator:
    Redle, Michael T.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

  • Bioactivity Screening and Gene Activation Strategies in Fungi

    Creator:
    Coddington, Nathan C.
    Abstract:
    Natural products from plants, bacteria, and fungi play an important role in society. Over the last 35 years, natural products and their derivatives have inspired over 60% of all FDA approved small-molecule drugs, and are among the top prescribed therapeutics.1-2 Fleming’s discovery of the fungal antibiotic penicillin started the “Golden...

  • Design, Construction, and Evaluation of a Scaled-Up Air-Cathode Microbial Fuel Cell

    Creator:
    Fulton, Nathan J.
    Abstract:
    Presented in this report is an investigation of the design, construction, and operation of scaled-up cloth electrode assembly (CEA) air-cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). 40 mL MFCs were designed and constructed using either single or double CEAs with carbon cloth electrodes. The MFCs were evaluated using acetate media, municipal wastewater,...

  • A Study of the Impact of Core Values on Leadership Development and Performance in Military Trainees

    Creator:
    Lausmann, Nathan R.
    Abstract:
    Organizational values are an important factor in the work of many organizations and can guide both day-to-day decision-making and long-term strategic planning. Little previous research has documented the impact of core values on individual performance in military environments nor the effect of core values on leadership attributes. In this study,...

  • A study of public perceptions of energy issues and technology for the development of engineering education activities

    Creator:
    Hinkle, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Human use of fossil fuels has caused a dramatic shift in the earth’s environment, with global temperatures rising and ecosystem health declining. The need for the human species to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels is apparent. This will be achieved by replacing conventional energy resources with sustainable alternatives, and...

  • Photoluminescence Detection of 2,4,6-Trinitrotoulene (TNT) Binding on Single Cell Diatom Biosilica

    Creator:
    Harms, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    T. pseudonana biosilica and live cells was explored as a biosensor for detection of the explosive compound 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in aqueous solution. The diatom frustule is an intricately nanostructured, highly porous biogenic silica material derived from the shells of microscopic algae called diatoms. This material emits strong visible blue photoluminescence...

  • An Electrophysiological Study of Involuntary Attention Capture in a Go/No-go Paradigm

    Creator:
    Herdener, Nathan D.
    Abstract:
    The present study examined whether attention capture is driven by object saliency or contingent on top-down control setting using a go/no-go paradigm. Specifically, we investigated whether salient color singletons capture attention only when the target itself is also a singleton. We used a go/no-go task. Participants were told to search...

  • Germans and the Union: Immigrants' Struggle Against Assimilation in the Civil War Era

    Creator:
    Diebel, Nathan W.
    Abstract:
    The United States of America is founded upon immigration, and Germans are one of the first European ethnic groups to settle en masse in North America. The common narrative of immigration is that of the “melting pot”; characterized by assimilation of cultures into one ‘super’ culture. German immigration has often...

  • Dangerous Cake

    Creator:
    Atkinson, Nathan L.
    Abstract:
    We explore the limitations of the CRRA utility speci cation as applied to cake-eating problems. We construct a set of conditions under which cake- eating problems have no optimal solution. Furthermore, we explore how agents choose their consumption path when an optimization problem has no solution, and suggest a method...

  • Stability of Super Folder Green Fluorescent Protein Under Varying Organic Solvent and Temperature Conditions

    Creator:
    Ho, Lylan
    Abstract:
    Obtaining high-resolution structures of biological macromolecules has become one of the biggest challenges in the scientific world. Dr. Wei Kong’s lab is currently working to overcome the limitations of current structure resolution techniques, such as x-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Kong’s group hopes to develop a new protein...
