  • 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...

  • Measurement of optical bandgap energies of semiconductors

    Creator:
    Russell, Joshua A.
    Abstract:
    A method for bandgap energy determination using di use re ection is presented and compared to the traditional integrating sphere method. We have found the bandgap energies of ZnO, TiO₂, Cu₂O, Si, SnZrS₃, SnZrSe₃, Sn₂S₃, and BiCuOSe powders with both methods and found they agree within 0.03 eV. We have...

  • Are Honest People More Rational? Associations Between Personality and Decision-Making

    Creator:
    Hirsch, Lauren A., Ceschi, Andrea, Sartori, Riccardo, and Weller, Joshua
    Abstract:
    The HEXACO personality framework is an emerging perspective to explain the phenotypic structure of personality, and is believed to replicate across natural language lexical studies better than the Five-Factor Model. Although similar to the “Big Five,” the primary difference between the two structural models is the recovery of the Honesty-Humility...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Personality Predictors of Distracted Driving

    Creator:
    Sween, Madison, Weller, Joshua, Ceschi, Andrea, Sartori, Riccardo, and Tommasi, Francesco
    Abstract:
    Objective: Cell phone use while driving (CPUWD) is an increasingly predominant form of distracted driving. Given the widespread prevalence of CPUWD, it is important for researchers to identify who is more likely to engage in this risky behavior. Prior research has focused largely on adolescent and young adult populations, and...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Forest biomass estimation with hemispherical photography for multiple forest types and various atmospheric conditions

    Creator:
    Clark, Joshua Andrew
    Abstract:
    The importance of accurately identifying inventories of domestic energy, including forest biomass, has increasingly become a priority of the US government and its citizens as the cost of fossil fuels has risen. It is useful to identify which of these resources can be processed and transported at the lowest cost...

  • The Effect of Affect: A Close Reading of LeBron James’ Athlete Activism

    Creator:
    Campista, Joshua, I.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...
