Characterizing perpendicular-to-grain compression in wood construction applications

Creator:: Basta, Craig Thomas
Abstract:: Current compression perpendicular-to-grain (c-perp) design values for wood members are based on mean stress using the ASTM D143 specimen. Base design value, as determined from 0.04-in deformation in the ASTM specimen, is applied to all c-perp applications. While the standard ASTM test was presumably believed to adequately reflect relevant c-perp...

Sources of variability in duration of anesthesia with brevital sodium in snakes

Creator:: Preston, Daniel L.
Abstract:: Variability in the depth and duration of anesthesia in individuals within a species is frequently observed, yet few studies have investigated its causes in reptiles. To evaluate the potential causes of variability in reptile anesthesia, I conducted experiments to test for effects of body temperature, body composition and time post-feeding...

Calculating characteristic timescales for environmental decoherence in the presence of thermal gravitons

Creator:: Nelson, Hunter
Abstract:: Different models show the effects of environmental decoherence on a quantum system due to various environments of interest. One important quantity within these models is the decoherence time, which tells us how quickly environments wash away the coherence of local measurements. We can describe this effect as the quantum system...

Investigating polymer quantum mechanics : mathematical formulation, the particle on a ring, and time evolution

Creator:: Seibert, Basie S.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a theoretical framework which aims to quantize general relativity. One of the unique aspects of this theory is that it imposes a discrete structure on space-time. One toy model of loop quantum gravity is loop quantum cosmology, which maintains the idea of a discrete spatial structure...

A Generalized Scheme for Creating Regge Calculus Models of General Relativity

Creator:: Hanson, Ben R.
Abstract:: Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...

Expression of serotonin, chromogranin-A, serotonin receptor-2B, tryptophan hydroxylase-1, and serotonin reuptake transporter in the small intestine of dogs with inflammatory bowel disease

Creator:: Bailey, Candice
Abstract:: The neuroendocrine system of the gut plays a significant role in regulating intestinal motor and sensory functions, as well as modulating inflammation in the intestine. The intestinal mucosa is the dominant site of serotonin (5HT) synthesis in mammals, with more than 95% of the intestinal 5HT being present in the...

The Consistent Histories Approach to the Stern-Gerlach Experiment

Creator:: Wilson, Ian
Abstract:: Standard quantum mechanics makes foundational assumptions to describe the measurement process. Upon interaction with a “classical measurement apparatus”, a quantum system is subjected to postulated “state collapse” dynamics. We show that framing measurement around state collapse and ill-defined classical observers leads to interpretational issues, and artificially limits the scope of...

The particle on a ring in polymer quantum mechanics : a quantum cosmology analogue on a compact space

Creator:: Siebersma, Maxwell R.
Abstract:: Loop quantum gravity is a framework for quantizing general relativity which imposes a discrete structure on space. In exploring the structure of loop quantum gravity, researchers have investigated loop quantum cosmology, a toy model with reduced degrees of freedom while maintaining a discrete space. Polymer quantum mechanics is a framework...

Forests on the Move: Forest Inventories and Wood Anatomy from the Fragmented Forests of Guairá, Paraguarí, and Central, Paraguay

Creator:: Cervantes, Andrew G.
Abstract:: Forest composition in Paraguay has been in a state of change for the past half century due to land management practices, forest fragmentation, and deforestation for agriculture. How these factors affect dendrological diversity and wood anatomy in Paraguay is not well understood. This thesis documents Paraguayan forest composition on the...
