A Comparative Illustration Of Trip- And Activity-Based Modeling Techniques, Steven Hayden Atchley
A Comparative Illustration Of Trip- And Activity-Based Modeling Techniques, Steven Hayden Atchley
Theses and Dissertations
Activity-based travel demand models are generally considered superior to their trip-based counterparts, as activity-based models (ABMs) explicitly model individuals in contrast to the aggregate nature of trip-based models. There have been a number of comparisons between trip- and activity-based models, but these comparisons focus almost exclusively on the technical ability of the two model types, while not considering the practical benefits an ABM may or may not have to a transportation agency. This research performs a more holistic comparison between trip- and activity-based models, focused specifically on the practical differences between model types, both in terms of usability and capability …
Deep Learning For Improved Data-Driven Modeling Of Soft Robots For Model Predictive Control, Daniel Gray Cheney
Deep Learning For Improved Data-Driven Modeling Of Soft Robots For Model Predictive Control, Daniel Gray Cheney
Theses and Dissertations
The field of soft robotics is a growing research interest due to the unique benefits of soft robots over traditional robots, such as durability, compliance, and low-cost. These benefits allow soft robots to perform a variety of tasks that would be difficult for traditional robots, such as throwing, hammering, or whole-body manipulation. However, there is a significant variety of materials, actuators, and designs used in soft robotics. While helpful for completing more tasks, this variety also makes efficient modeling and control of soft robots difficult. In this thesis, an open-source repository, Modeling for Learned Dynamics (MoLDy), is presented. This repository …
Using Neural Networks To Reconstruct Temperature From Fluorescent Data For Use In Bio-Microfluidics, Jacob G. Kullberg
Using Neural Networks To Reconstruct Temperature From Fluorescent Data For Use In Bio-Microfluidics, Jacob G. Kullberg
Theses and Dissertations
It has been theorized that Quantum Dots (QD) can solve the temperature sensor issue with microfluidic devices. Quantum Dots are nano-sized semiconducting crystals with a radius of an excited electron-hole pair. When a QD is excited by a short wavelength light, the QD produces fluorescent light. As the temperature of the dot changes, the dot expands and shifts the fluorescent spectrum. Quantum Dots are small enough to be placed inside the microfluidic devices, and a spectrometer can measure the change in fluorescent data. This fluorescent data can be used to create fluorescent images corresponding to the QD temperature. These fluorescent …

Proposing A Matrix For Selecting Security Tools For Small Businesses, Nathan Jonathon Rowbotham
Theses and Dissertations
Small businesses are increasingly under threat of cybersecurity attacks. An increasingly long list of tools with different purposes and coverage are available to help. But it can be difficult to choose which tools to use, particularly for a small business that may lack financial resources, expertise, and time. Research literature focuses on providing frameworks to follow to protect a business generally. Some research considers an aspect of creating a Security Operations Center. Other research describes the creation of a Security Operations Center as a Service with all the components the researchers deemed necessary. None of the current research literature seems …
Real-Time Dynamically Feasible B-Spline Trajectory Generation For Unmanned Aircraft, David Lavae Christensen
Real-Time Dynamically Feasible B-Spline Trajectory Generation For Unmanned Aircraft, David Lavae Christensen
Theses and Dissertations
Onboard aircraft systems must frequently plan dynamically feasible paths or trajectories to safely and quickly reach their goal position. Optimized B-splines are promising because they can guarantee kinematic feasibility in a computationally efficient manner and can be applied to a variety of vehicle models. However, current B-spline solutions do not adequately constrain trajectories to the physical limitation of the vehicles they are planning for, or are often too conservative. Most are also limited to path smoothing or require pre-optimized timing parameters. This thesis develops a real-time B-spline optimization-based trajectory generator capable of minimizing time while respecting the velocity, acceleration, and …

Exploring The Impact Of Collaborative Communities Among High School Principals, William T. Sherwood
Theses and Dissertations
Principals of large high schools are faced with a job that is constantly increasing in demands and complexity; with few options for highly relevant professional development, good resources to aid in problem solving, and/or effective supports for social/emotional well-being. In this qualitative case study, I examine four different school districts involving 20 principals from large high schools that are involved in different iterations of collaborative communities (CC). Participants were interviewed regarding their perceptions of the benefits and challenges of the CC in which they were engaged. Participants also shared the practices and protocols present in their CC contributing to those …
Development And Application Of A Particle-Based Reactor Network Model For Entrained Flow Gasifier Design, Eric Christian Monson
Development And Application Of A Particle-Based Reactor Network Model For Entrained Flow Gasifier Design, Eric Christian Monson
Theses and Dissertations
A novel particle-based reactor network model (PRNM) was developed to predict the performance of a dry-feed, pressurized, single-stage, slagging entrained flow gasifier under various operational parameters. This model provides improved detail of particle conversion as a function of gasifier location, particle size, and fuel type not available in standard reactor network models. The model inputs were designed to allow changes in geometry, firing rate, stoichiometric ratio, fuel type, and inlet gas composition. Key performance metrics included the gas and refractory temperature profiles, axial gas compositions, and particle burnout. PRNM used a network of idealized reactors to specify the flow field …
Design And Validation Of Sensing Knee Sleeve Rehabilitation Device Utilizing Large Deflection Strain Gauges, Kurt Christian Jensen
Design And Validation Of Sensing Knee Sleeve Rehabilitation Device Utilizing Large Deflection Strain Gauges, Kurt Christian Jensen
Theses and Dissertations
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures are increasingly common in the US and globally. However, rehabilitation outcomes may be negatively affected by limited access to physical therapy and patients' tendency to not fully adhere to recommended exercises between therapy sessions. This study aims to develop a remote system to aid rehabilitation, building upon recent sensor development at Brigham Young University, providing physical therapy-like biofeedback during unsupervised at-home exercises. The system developed by this research consists of three primary components: (1) a sensor array for measuring leg/knee biomechanics, (2) a machine learning algorithm to predict knee flexion angle from the sensor data, …
Investigating Cloth Sculpting For Simulation Control In Virtual Reality, Matthew S. Bishop
Investigating Cloth Sculpting For Simulation Control In Virtual Reality, Matthew S. Bishop
Theses and Dissertations
Artists require control and predictability over physically based simulations to create their required animation. This control can lead to reduced iteration time to get the desired simulation results. Controlling cloth simulations can require manual effort to create goal keyframes for control algorithms to match. Current techniques and research utilize a keyboard and mouse to create these goal keyframes. Other research has looked at using a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display with controllers to improve the experience of completing similar animation tasks. However, we are not aware of any research that attempts to use VR as a tool to assist artists …
Vco Calibration Techniques And Design Of A 0.12-V Ultra-Low Supply Analog-To-Digital Converter, Shea Smith
Vco Calibration Techniques And Design Of A 0.12-V Ultra-Low Supply Analog-To-Digital Converter, Shea Smith
Theses and Dissertations
Many analog-to-digital converters (ADC) quantize inputs using a voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO). These VCO-based ADCs leverage time-domain processing to shape quantization noise and mismatch, which further increases their appeal. Despite these advantages, achieving good performance with a VCO-based ADC remains a significant challenge due to the nonlinear transfer characteristics of the voltage-to-frequency (V-F) conversion. VCO-based ADCs widely utilize coarse-fine readout to save power and hardware compared to counter-only converters. However, the timing mismatch due to the clock skew between the coarse and fine quantizers can lead to significant reconstruction errors. Chapter 2 proposes a digital calibration circuit to detect and correct coarse-fine …

Faculty Publications
Acoustic tweezers have gained substantial interest in biology, engineering, and materials science for their label-free, precise, contactless, and programmable manipulation of small objects. However, acoustic tweezers cannot independently manipulate multiple microparticles simultaneously. This study introduces acousto-dielectric tweezers capable of independently manipulating multiple microparticles and precise control over intercellular distances and cyclical cell pairing and separation for detailed cell-cell interaction analysis. Our acousto-dielectric tweezers leverage the competition between acoustic radiation forces, generated by standing surface acoustic waves (SAWs), and dielectrophoretic (DEP) forces, induced by gradient electric fields. Modulating these fields allows for the precise positioning of individual microparticles at points where …
Subspace Decomposition Of Linear Secrecy Codes, David Robert Joseph Hunn
Subspace Decomposition Of Linear Secrecy Codes, David Robert Joseph Hunn
Theses and Dissertations
We introduce a new method for the study of linear codes, termed subspace decomposition, which provides new insights into code structure and performance. Briefly, subspace decomposition comprises the evaluation of complex properties of a linear code by evaluating simple properties of its constituent subspaces. We find that this technique has application to a number of problems in coding theory. When applied to the problem of evaluating the performance of secrecy codes, subspace decomposition provides an efficient method for computing the equivocation of coset codes over the binary erasure wiretap channel. It is also especially efficient in computing the chi squared …
Partisanship, Security, And Global Status: Anatomy Of Taiwan’S March 19 Shooting Conspiracy Theories, William Martindale
Partisanship, Security, And Global Status: Anatomy Of Taiwan’S March 19 Shooting Conspiracy Theories, William Martindale
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Previous research has shown how belief in particular conspiracy theories is subject to their salience to believers. Using the example of Taiwan’s March 19 shooting conspiracy theories, I show in this paper that salience is created by appealing to existing collective memory. Additionally, I show that conspiracy theory spreaders help to reinforce the elements of collective memory that make their conspiracy theories salient. Using evidence from primary sources and a representative survey sample, I demonstrate the relevance of three contextual elements in belief in conspiracy theories about the March 19 shooting. These can be summarized as Partisanship, Security, and Global …

Reconfigurable Over-The-Air Chamber: Measuring Radio Frequency Device Performance, Benjamin T. Arnold
Reconfigurable Over-The-Air Chamber: Measuring Radio Frequency Device Performance, Benjamin T. Arnold
Theses and Dissertations
Over-the-air (OTA) testing is particularly useful in determining the performance of multi-antenna communication devices in real-world environments. Traditional OTA testing technologies include the reverberation chamber (RC) and the multi-probe anechoic chamber. More recently, the reconfigurable OTA chamber (ROTAC), which is a RC that has probes lining its chamber walls, has been proposed. These probes are either driven with a source, possibly combined with a channel emulator, or are terminated with a tunable impedance. Controlling the excitations and terminations on the probes can alter the fields within the chamber and thereby synthesize an antenna response at the device under test (DUT). …

A Wee Bit Of Cleanup: Updating Scottish Locality Pages On The Familysearch Research Wiki, Garrett Mast
Undergraduate Honors Theses
While the FamilySearch Research Wiki provides a valuable resource for genealogical references for countries across the globe, its potential is bottlenecked by having a small pool of editors compared to sites like Wikipedia. The webpages for each Scottish parish have fallen by the wayside, with most not receiving any material update in a decade. This project reflection highlights the choices made and processes taken in order to revitalize the Scottish locality pages of the Research Wiki following the verification of civil, ecclesiastical, and probate jurisdictions for each parish in Scotland. This included making an interactive jurisdiction map in ArcGIS …

Optimization Of Mass Spectrometry-Based Methods For Low-Input And Spatial Proteomics, Andikan Jones Nwosu
Optimization Of Mass Spectrometry-Based Methods For Low-Input And Spatial Proteomics, Andikan Jones Nwosu
Theses and Dissertations
Eukaryotic cells are highly heterogeneous. These cells are arranged into different compartments, carrying out separate functions and facilitating biological processes. Proteins are the effector biomolecules targeted to subcellular locations that help fulfill specific tasks in living organisms. Spatial proteomics can help unravel molecularly how protein abundance and localization are altered in cells, which is not feasible in traditional bulk-scale proteomics. To achieve this, our lab has developed a miniaturized sample processing platform called nanoPOTS, reduced separation columns' inner diameter to increase ionization efficiency and concentrate analytes for mass spectrometers and optimized data acquisition modes for increasing proteome coverage in spatial …
