  • Harper's Healing with Horse Therapy

    Creator:
    Kraft, Crystal
    Abstract:
    Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant issue among adolescents in the United States affecting 13% to 25% of young adults. In 2012, Arizona saw over 12,000 adolescents in emergency rooms due to self-injury. Approximately 50% to 85% of self-injuring adolescents will attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime. Adolescents...

  • Process Information Modeling for Characterizing Sustainability Performance of Cyclic Manufacturing Processes

    Creator:
    Manoharan, Sriram
    Abstract:
    Sustainability has become an unprecedented priority in global manufacturing due to the growing concerns over issues such as an aging workforce, environmental degradation, and public health. The simultaneous consideration of the economic, environmental, and social aspects – often referred to as the “three pillars of sustainability” – is crucial to...

  • The Politics Expansion Makes: Analyzing the Political Returns and Policy Framing of the ACA's Medicaid Expansion in the States

    Creator:
    Bishop, Dustin
    Abstract:
    The 2010 U.S. health reforms expanded health insurance access to millions of Americans, mainly through an unprecedented expansion of Medicaid eligibility to those with low incomes. Not all states chose to expand their programs, resulting in disparate health-benefit access nationally. This study uses quantitative and qualitative analyses to explore the...

  • Chronic Toxicological Effects in Daphnia magna from Exposure to PMMA Nanoplastics

    Creator:
    Brown, Hans
    Abstract:
    Plastic pollution is an ever-increasing environmental threat. As large-scale plastics break down to form nanoscale plastics, it is essential to investigate their effects on freshwater ecosystems. With many plastic nanoparticle (NP) studies favoring the effects of common polystyrene (PS) plastics, a gap is formed for other common plastic types like...

  • Estimating basal glacier conditions using internal layer slopes

    Creator:
    Carroll, Georgia
    Abstract:
    Ice-penetrating radar produces detailed images of the internal ice layers in a glacier. Because the layers form from each year's snowfall, the curving of the internal layers is a record of the climate conditions that the glacier experienced as it flowed throughout the millennia. The Hiawatha Glacier lies on top...

  • Developing a Learning Progression on Units and Dimensions by Dustin Treece

    Creator:
    Treece, Dustin
    Abstract:
    Units and dimensions are seldom addressed formally in science classrooms, despite being one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous tools available to scientists. Even worse, science and engineering graduates are often moving into careers without fundamentally understanding units and their importance, leading to struggles in developing scientific literacy and to...

  • Lean Implementations in the University Classroom and Curriculum Design

    Creator:
    Diep, Dustin S.
    Abstract:
    The Lean process improvement philosophy has been proposed as a method for improving components of Higher Education (HE), including student learning outcomes; however, current lean applications to HE have focused on administrative operations or general institutional interventions. Comparatively little work has been performed applying lean to teaching. This work fills...

  • Feasibility of Enrichment Measurements with a Pixelated CdTe HEXITEC Detector: A Comparison of Methods

    Creator:
    Kasparek, Dustin
    Abstract:
    The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is responsible for verifying the mass of elemental uranium in various forms (powders, pellets, scrap) as part of safeguards inspections at nuclear fuel fabrication facilities in support of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Current methods require in-field dissolution chemistry, which is time consuming and imposes...

  • Environmental Transformations in Hydrophobicity of TiO2 P-25 Nanoparticles in Alsea River Waters

    Creator:
    Boenisch, Kylie
    Abstract:
    Hydrophobic titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are prevalent in industry and manufacturing. They are known for their white pigmentation, are found in sunscreens, paints, cosmetics, and are frequently used in wastewater treatment. Understanding the physicochemical properties of TiO2 P-25 NPs, such as hydrophobicity, are essential when determining their fate, transport,...

  • Developmental effects of micro- and nanoscale tire particles and recycled rubber on zebrafish

    Creator:
    Mottern, Taylor H.
    Abstract:
    Plastics have become an essential part of everyone lives, found in almost every product made today. Tires only make up a fraction of these products but as their use increasing so does the microplastics that flake off. Many studies have evaluated the toxic effects of tire particles on aquatic environments...
