Parametric Analysis Of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Low-Carbon Steel Using Response Surface Methodology, Mirzagha Halilov
Parametric Analysis Of Wire Arc Additively Manufactured Low-Carbon Steel Using Response Surface Methodology, Mirzagha Halilov
Theses
As the manufacturing sector continues on its path towards sustainability, additive manufacturing (AM) remains as one of its most promising streams, aiming to reduce material waste while also allowing for increased design complexity. In the extensive area of metal 3D printing, one method that is steadily gaining traction is wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). This method of AM utilizes the energy created by an electric arc formed between a continuous consumable metal wire and a metal base, fusing the two together and ultimately creating a 3D component layer by layer. WAAM has several notable advantages over other metal 3D printing methods …

Investigating The Effect Of Active Living Wall On Indoor Air Quality And Energy Consumption: Case Study In Uaeu Closed Offices, Atina Mohsen Ghunaim
Investigating The Effect Of Active Living Wall On Indoor Air Quality And Energy Consumption: Case Study In Uaeu Closed Offices, Atina Mohsen Ghunaim
Theses
Extreme hot climates can significantly affect Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and ventilation, resulting in higher energy demands. Numerous studies have demonstrated that outdoor greening, such as trees and landscaped areas, can reduce a building’s energy consumption. However, less research has been conducted on the impact of indoor vegetation on energy use and air quality. Indoor vegetation decreases Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentration by absorbing CO₂ and releasing oxygen (O₂), while the evapotranspiration process further enhances (IAQ) and reduces energy expenditure. The United Arab Emirates has dry arid climate and summers with high humidity levels, causing individuals to stay longer indoors, which …

Design Of A Custom Embedded Replay Control Board For A Vintage Porsche, Christopher Heltz
Design Of A Custom Embedded Replay Control Board For A Vintage Porsche, Christopher Heltz
Theses
Many industries rely on decades old software and electronics to run machines that are essential for America’s industry. These companies operate on the sentiment of “if it’s broke, don’t fix it”. This works great until something breaks, then these same companies are faced with a tough decision. Either replace the old software and electronics with modern solutions or fix the original electronics. Both options have their challenges, the first costs much more in the short term and will require many man hours to design a new solution however the latter will require finding the original documentation or having trained individuals …

Utilizing Machine Learning For Categorizing Disaster-Related Tweets, Ahmad Alfalasi
Utilizing Machine Learning For Categorizing Disaster-Related Tweets, Ahmad Alfalasi
Theses
This study presents the development of a machine-learning model that recognizes tweets about disasters in real-time. The fast-paced development of social media, especially Twitter, has drastically changed the field of news transmission during crises. This change creates new challenges for the management of the volume, velocity, and veracity of data that are generated in such situations. The present tools do not have the capabilities of real-time processing of the huge volume of data; hence, new solutions are required. The model we are proposing addresses this problem by using advanced machine learning methods, such as natural language processing, to filter and …
What Explains State-Level Variation In Refugee Resettlement In The United States?, Rebekah Walker
What Explains State-Level Variation In Refugee Resettlement In The United States?, Rebekah Walker
Theses
The history of refugee resettlement in the United States reveals an ad hoc system that relies heavily on non-governmental agencies and state social services. Rates of acceptance for refugees vary greatly by state, yet the particulars of refugee placement are under-studied. This thesis seeks to explain why refugees are likely to be resettled in some states more than others–what factors are associated with higher or lower levels of refugee resettlement? Most literature looks at the economic impact from refugees and on refugees or analyzes the political environment that supports (or does not support) them, but refugee resettlement itself–the how and …
Unstable, Virginia Guerrero
Unstable, Virginia Guerrero
Theses
Unstable is a film about a music-driven, psychedelic journey of reality slipping into a frenzy of madness. It explores bringing music to life with emphasis placed on music pacing, mood, and my own simultaneous, involuntary experience of color when listening to music. The film tells the story of a trapped, creepy, skeletal character escaping his shackles and causing mayhem. He bends reality and experiences several transformations as the music becomes increasingly aggressive. The story is primarily narrative with experimental features, including abstract backgrounds, varying art styles, and unexpected transitions. The main character goes through painful, physical changes and eventually reaches …

Vitamin D Clinical Relevance In The Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury Among The Military Population, Yuisa Mariceli Colón
Vitamin D Clinical Relevance In The Recovery From Traumatic Brain Injury Among The Military Population, Yuisa Mariceli Colón
Theses
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) still remains a difficult disorder to treat. TBI has been associated to chronic neuroinflammation and a high risk for neurodegenerative disorders. Since 2001 between ten to twenty percent of all deployed military members have suffered a combat-related TBI. Nearly twenty to thirty percent of those will experience chronic cognitive, behavioral and somatic symptoms after suffering a TBI. This review found compelling evidence to support that the pathology of TBI is closely associated with neuroprotective mechanisms of vitamin D.
Headspace, Katrina E. Kauffman
Headspace, Katrina E. Kauffman
Theses
Headspace is a contemplation of the dynamics and labor of thought. As someone with ADHD, dysgraphia, and dyslexia, my thought process is often circuitous yet cyclical. This thesis will explore the overlap between ritual and hyperfocus as a facet of artistic practice as well as their impact on physical and emotional equilibrium. By personifying the three proposed stages of memory by the Cognitive Load theory through the performance of repetitive tasks like making chewing gum, paper, and ink by hand, I both exemplify my neurodivergent brain structure and the reformatting my neural pathways undergo to conform to neurotypically inclined society. …

Unital Kadison-Schwarz Type Of Maps, Hajir Khalid Al Zadjali
Unital Kadison-Schwarz Type Of Maps, Hajir Khalid Al Zadjali
Theses
Quantum entanglement is an important phenomenon in quantum information theory; its uses range from quantum teleportation and quantum cryptography to solving classical communication problems. One of the issues concerning entanglement is the classification of mixed states into separable states. Positive maps define affine mappings between sets of states of C∗algebras, and have been used to develop a separability criterion for quantum states. Completely positive maps are insensitive to entanglement detection, a weaker notion of positivity is thus needed to detect them. This condition that is stronger than positivity but weaker than complete positivity is given by the Kadison-Schwarz (KS) inequality. …
