  • An Interdisciplinary approach towards understanding late Pleistocene ice sheet change

    Creator:
    Cuzzone, Joshua K.
    Abstract:
    The results presented in this dissertation address a number of questions regarding late Pleistocene and Holocene ice-sheet and climate interactions, spanning disciplines involving paleoclimatology and atmospheric science. These studies use various techniques in geochemistry, climate modeling, and ice-sheet modeling to address ice- sheet response to climate and the attendant interactions...

  • Thermal and Aerodynamic Effects of Surface Roughness Patterns on Additive Manufactured Heat Sinks

    Creator:
    Lundeen, Samuel L.
    Abstract:
    Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...

  • Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

    Creator:
    Michaels, Linsie
    Abstract:
    Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

  • Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

    Creator:
    Harrison, Matt
    Abstract:
    Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

  • The Building of a ‘Harmonious World’ and the Conflict of the Confucius Institute

    Creator:
    Flatt, Tomena M.
    Abstract:
    The Confucius Institutes program is a Chinese organization established in 2004 to provide the world with language instruction and increase cultural awareness. The program forms joint venture business models with universities and schools around the world to establish language and culture centers on their school’s campus (“Constitution and By-Laws”). Over...

  • Development of Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Fluid Temperature Imaging for Free Convection Heat Transfer Applications

    Creator:
    McAfee, Rachel C.
    Abstract:
    The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-dye laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a minimally invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they...

  • Tracking of Melt Pool Motion Using Numerical Analysis of Laser Powder Bed Fusion

    Creator:
    Cox, Bryce
    Abstract:
    Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is a process commonly used to create additively manufactured metal parts. The flexibility and complexity allowed by the LPBF process provides opportunity for significant advancement in multiple industries as parts can be customized in shape and function for specific needs. These benefits can be compounded...

  • Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

    Creator:
    Brunot, Alexander N.
    Abstract:
    The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...
