  • Depth-dependence of surf zone eddies : a study at Duck, NC

    Creator:
    Aiken, Rebecca A.
    Abstract:
    Surf zone eddies (f < 0.01 Hz) are important in nearshore mixing, shoreline erosion, the distribution of pollutants, and ecological processes, such as offshore transport of larvae. Surf zone eddies have traditionally been treated as two-dimensional features with horizontal length scales larger than the local water depth. Studies by Lippmann...

  • Karl Jordan : a life in systematics

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    Karl Jordan (1861-1959) was an extraordinarily productive entomologist who influenced the development of systematics, entomology, and naturalists' theoretical framework as well as their practice. He has been a figure in existing accounts of the naturalist tradition between 1890 and 1940 that have defended the relative contribution of naturalists to the...

  • Properties of hydrogels for immobilization of bacteria in a commercial microfluidic dioreactor

    Creator:
    Weymann, Davis
    Abstract:
    Current technological shortcomings limit the economic viability of capturing and utilizing small sources of methane. The development of a reactor to overcome these limitations would unlock economic opportunity and incentivize reduced methane emissions. A microfluidic bioreactor containing immobilized methanotrophs has the potential to overcome these limitations by profitably converting small...

  • Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

    Creator:
    Crowell, Jeffrey R.
    Abstract:
    The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

  • Evaluating the Effect of Emotions on Student Learning using Prescriptive and Open-ended Lab Activities for a Lean Manufacturing Engineering Course

    Creator:
    Perez, Maritza
    Abstract:
    Research has shown that emotional connections during lab activities increase learning in chemistry and physics courses. However, little research has examined the effects of emotion in engineering courses, and these studies have recognized a dearth of research examining the ability of students to apply engineering concepts in real-world applications based...

  • Effect of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Modification on the Structure and Antimicrobial Activity of the Antimicrobial Peptide WLBU2

    Creator:
    Raper, Miranda A.
    Abstract:
    Sepsis is a blood infection that is caused by circulating bacteria cells and cell fragments, which contain immunogenic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or endotoxin. The circulating endotoxin results in a severe dysregulation of the inflammatory response that ultimately leads to organ failure. One promising treatment method is removal of endotoxin by passing...

  • Integrated Manufacturing Process and System Analysis to Assist Sustainable Product Design

    Creator:
    Raoufi, Kamyar
    Abstract:
    Product development in the 21st century requires integrating sustainability performance evaluation with product design and manufacturing activities. A variety of factors, including climate change, public awareness, and increasingly strict regulations have compelled companies to design and manufacture more sustainable products. While the design phase typically accounts for only 5-7% of...

  • A supply chain model for optimizing fixed and mobile bio-oil refineries on a regional scale

    Creator:
    Mirzaie, Pantea
    Abstract:
    The use of fossil fuels and their related impact on the environment and global warming have encouraged societies to pursue more sustainable and renewable alternatives, e.g., forest-based bio-oil. Thus, a vital need to decrease the level of greenhouse gas emissions and the tendency of nations to reduce their dependency on...

  • A Method to Effectively Measure Sustainability in Non-Profit Organizations

    Creator:
    Vanlue, Mary Elizabeth
    Abstract:
    With the growing importance of sustainability, organizations in the non-profit sector need a way to measure, track, improve, and report their sustainability. Through research in current literature and a survey of practices within local non-profits, it is shown these organizations need a simple, flexible process with stakeholder participation to measure...
