Demarcating Computer Science, Dana Burkart
Demarcating Computer Science, Dana Burkart
Theses
Despite its relative youth, computer science has become a well-established discipline, granting over 2% of the bachelors degrees in the United States (U.S. Department of Education, 2010). For this reason, it is important that we understand the nature of computer science and the likely direction for the development of inquiry in computer science in the future. This paper examines several perspectives on the nature of the methods of computer science inquiry. These are empiricist methods, rationalist methods, and an engineering stance. It argues that empiricist and rationalist stances play identifiable roles in the scientific nature of computer science reasoning but …

Dimethylsulfoxide Exposure Modulates Hl-60 Cell Rolling Interaction, David Gee, Leslie Kate Wright, Jonathan Zimmerman, Kayla Cole, Karen Soule, Michelle Ubowski
Dimethylsulfoxide Exposure Modulates Hl-60 Cell Rolling Interaction, David Gee, Leslie Kate Wright, Jonathan Zimmerman, Kayla Cole, Karen Soule, Michelle Ubowski
Articles
Human leukaemic HL-60 cells are widely used for studying interactions involving adhesion molecules [e.g. P-selectin and PSGL-1 (P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1)] since their rolling behaviour has been shown to mimic the dynamics of leucocyte rolling in vitro. HL-60 cells are neutrophilic promyelocytes that can undergo granulocytic differentiation upon exposure to compounds such as DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide). Using a parallel plate flow chamber functionalized with recombinant P-selectin–Fc chimaera, undifferentiated and DMSO-induced (48, 72 and 96 h) HL-60 cells were assayed for rolling behaviour. We found that depending on P-selectin incubation concentration, undifferentiated cells incurred up to a 6-fold increase in rolling velocity while …

The Effect Of Interruptions On Prospective Memory In The Emergency Department, Kate Walders
Theses
Using the activation goal memory framework, this study categorized 256 separate emergency department interruptions in a large research hospital setting. Prior to and following their shift, twelve physicians completed a semi-structured qualitative survey about their experiences with, and perceptions of, interruptions at work. During their shift, these physicians were shadowed and the interruptions they experienced were documented. Frequencies of four types of interruptions were tallied: Direct reminders, indirect reminders, memory lapses and no reported memory change. Memory events were a significant proportion of interruptions (47%). Direct reminders comprised the largest majority, followed by memory lapses, indirect reminders and combination memory …

Emulating The Volume Of Pulminary Nodules: A Quantitative Approach, Meagan Kuhfahl
Emulating The Volume Of Pulminary Nodules: A Quantitative Approach, Meagan Kuhfahl
Theses
Doubling time for small pulmonary nodules is an important indicator used to diagnose lung cancer, a leading cause of death in the United States. The volume of the nodules is measured using computed tomography (CT) scans. Each volume measurement comes with a degree of uncertainty, which in turn increases the uncertainty for the doubling time measurement. Decisions regarding risky and expensive patient treatment depend on doubling time, so accuracy is important. The volume of nodules is estimated by taking a series of points marked on CT scans by radiologists and connecting these points to make a boundary. This boundary includes …

A Benchmarking Assessment Of Known Visual Cryptography Algorithms, Disa Walden
Theses
With the growth of digital media, it is becoming more prevalent to find a method to protect the security of that media. An effective method for securely transmitting images is found in the field of Visual Cryptography. While this method is effective for securely transmitting images, many methods have been developed since the first algorithm was proposed in 1994 by Naor and Shamir. A benchmarking scheme is proposed to give the algorithm capabilities, understand the implementation method, evaluate the algorithm development, and provide image reconstruction information. Additionally, the algorithms are ranked according to a Visual Cryptography standard. This would allow …
Hive Five, Tom Kotcher
Hive Five, Tom Kotcher
Theses
For my thesis, I started out with the ambition of creating a game using Augmented Reality, but in the end created a game in Flash called Hive Five. I used multiple techniques and technologies in order to help accomplish this. By combining two-dimensional and three-dimensional assets, the player gets the best of both worlds. This also gives it the flexibility to be converted later into a mobile game since it is not hard on processing power. This game gave me a solid start with graphics and a strong programming skeleton that I can continue on with in the future. Through …

Discovering The Role Of Serpine2 In Copd, Swati Shimpi
Theses
SERPINE2 is a genetic marker of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which is a complex human disease and has no cure. In COPD patients three distinct pathology features, Emphysema, Chronic bronchitis and bronchus- associated lymphoid tissue or BALT like lesions, are observed. SERPINE2 deficient mouse was studied in Mariani lab to find association of SERPINE2 with COPD. This mouse model emulates the lungs of COPD and mimics the lesions of BALT in COPD, with excessive lymphocytes. A total of six samples, three knock out and three age - matched wild type, were used for differential gene expression analysis by Microarray. …

Macroinvertebrates Online, Caitlin Treuting
Macroinvertebrates Online, Caitlin Treuting
Theses
Macrobenthic invertebrates are important indicators of water quality in many aquatic systems, but accurately identifying these organisms is a challenge, particularly for citizen scientists, due to insufficient funding for training programs and events and a dwindling pool of training personnel. Accurately identifying these organisms is key to the accuracy of the models used to generate the water quality assessments. To help address these issues, this project has developed an interactive online photographic key for macrobenthic invertebrates, designed to improve classification accuracy with minimal training for use by citizen scientists. The online digital photographic field guide was created and tested against …

Dynamic Pricing Strategy To Optimally Allocate Vaccines, Mauricio Pommier Gasser
Dynamic Pricing Strategy To Optimally Allocate Vaccines, Mauricio Pommier Gasser
Theses
In the United States, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) makes recommendations as to which cohorts (identified groups of individuals) ought to have higher priority access to vaccines when their supply is insufficient to immunize all susceptible individuals in the country. Typically, cohorts are determined based on susceptibility to contracting seasonal influenza and on the resulting consequences of infection for different age groups. For seasonal influenza, high-risk cohorts commonly include children, teenagers, pregnant women and people with different chronic diseases. This study proposes the application of revenue management theory to better allocate seasonal influenza vaccines among different risk-based population …

On Representations Of Integers By The Quadratic Form X2 − Dy2, Christopher Thomas
On Representations Of Integers By The Quadratic Form X2 − Dy2, Christopher Thomas
Theses
The representation of integers in binary quadratic forms has been a penchant for mathematicians throughout history including the well known Pierre de Fermat and Charles Hermite. The area has grown from simple representations as the sum of squares to representations of the form x²-Dy² where D>1 and square-free. Based on congruence relations we will provide a classification criterion for the integers that can be represented in the form x²-Dy² for various values of D (specifically D=10 and 11). We will also discuss methods for constructing such representations using the theory of continued fractions, quadratic reciprocity and solutions to Pell's …
The Perceived Value Of Videogame Packaging Among Young Adults, Colby Kibbe
The Perceived Value Of Videogame Packaging Among Young Adults, Colby Kibbe
Theses
Numerous forms of media content that once utilized physical distribution, such as music, movies, and publications, are now being distributed digitally. Videogames are the latest media content to be distributed in this manner, thus removing suppliers--such as packaging printers--who played a role in traditional physical distribution. With the U.S. printing industry projected to decline by 15% by 2015 (Romano & Broudy, 2010), the loss of packaged videogames as a source of revenue for packaging printers may further threaten the viability of the industry. The purpose of this research was to determine the current perceived value of packaged vs. digitally distributed …

The Current State Of Paying For Digital News Content, Haizhen Zhang
Theses
The economic recession of 2008 and the growth of digital content delivery had changed the revenue streams in the newspaper industry. Some news publishers favored charging readers for online content, while others did not. For those who had already built the pay wall or who planned to build one in the near future, there were various methods of doing so. The purpose of this research was to assess the payment models for digital content in news organizations. A survey of 1,100 daily newspaper publishers in the US--all members of the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) --was conducted in June 2010 …

High-speed rail (HSR) has become a major contributor to the transportation sector with a strong push by the Obama Administration and the Department of Transportation to implement high-speed rail in the United States. High-speed rail is a costly transportation alternative that has the potential displace some car and airport travel while increase energy security and environmental sustainability. This thesis will examine the United States high-speed rail implementation strategy by comparing it to the implementation strategies of France, Japan, and Germany in a multiple case study under four main criteria of success: economic profitability, reliability, safety, and ridership. Analysis will conclude …
Tech Service, John Valenti
Tech Service, John Valenti
Theses
The graduate thesis film Tech Service is a 21- minute surreal memoir-parody of its creator's day at work in a tech support call center. Having quite literally separated his at-work self from his not-at-work self into two independently existing personae--the former an ambitious technician whose only goal in the world is to fix a customer's telephone, and the latter a more cynical, quasi-beat poet who narrates the story--the film rambunctiously ponders and pursues the meaning of life, if life were reduced to the job you have to go to but don't really like that much. The film was shot in …

Fun-Cleaning System: To Teach Children To Establish The Habit Of Sharing Housework, Tsaiwei Lin
Fun-Cleaning System: To Teach Children To Establish The Habit Of Sharing Housework, Tsaiwei Lin
Theses
This project originated with a single question: Why do many young adults today lack basic life skills? This question came to mind when I noticed that most of my college friends are clueless about how to do the laundry or how to use a vacuum cleaner. After giving this question considerable thought, I began to research changes in family relationships, culture, and psychology to better understand this phenomenon. I have focused my research on Taiwan, my country. Most families in Taiwan distribute housework between the parents rather than among the children. The primary duty of children is to study hard …
