Investigating Wood Welding Parameters Using A Prototype Welding Machine, Timothy R. Melin

Master's Theses

Understanding how different processing variables influence wood welded bonds is vital if the technique will ever be used to create engineered lumber without using adhesives. A variation of vibration welding, wood welding uses pressure and friction to bond materials together. During welding, heat causes a softening in the wood, a naturally occurring composite material. This softening leads to fiber entanglement and a bond forms upon cooling.

The goal of this research was to investigate several processing aspects of the wood welding procedure. A prototype wood welding machine, designed and fabricated from the ground up, was used to investigate the effects …

The Human Population Growth And Its Ecological Consequences On Kenya And Tanzania, Lauren Noll

Student Theses 2001-2013

The world population is growing at an alarming rate. The rapid growth in population numbers and density along with the steady increase in the rates are causing issues in many countries. Although every country is experiencing many consequences of the growth, the countries of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa seem to be suffering immensely. Not only does the increasing human population in these third world countries create an overarching competition for natural resources such as food, water, and land, the growth also has detrimental effects on the surrounding environment, wildlife populations, ecotourism, and traditional African cultures.

Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Model In Rodents: Methods And Potential Pitfalls, Fudong Liu, Louise D. Mccullough

UCHC Articles - Research

A variety of animal models have been developed for modeling ischemic stroke. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model has been utilized extensively, especially in rodents. While the MCAO model provides stroke researchers with an excellent platform to investigate the disease, controversial or even paradoxical results are occasionally seen in the literature utilizing this model. Various factors exert important effects on the outcome in this stroke model, including the age and sex of the animal examined. This paper discusses emerging information on the effects of age and sex on ischemic outcomes after MCAO, with an emphasis on mouse models of …

First Kepler Results On Compact Pulsators - Ii. Kic-010139564, A New Pulsating Subdwarf B (V361 Hya) Star With An Additional Low-Frequency Mode, S. D. Kawaler, Michael D. Reed, A. C. Quint, R. H. Østensen, R. Silvotti, A. S. Baran, S. Charpinet, S. Bloemen, D. W. Kurtz, For Complete List Of Authors, See Publisher's Website.

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

We present the discovery of non-radial pulsations in a hot subdwarf B star based on 30.5 d of nearly continuous time series photometry using the Kepler spacecraft. KIC-010139564 is found to be a short-period pulsator of the V361-Hya (EC-14026) class with more than 10 independent pulsation modes whose periods range from 130 to 190 s. It also shows one periodicity at a period of 3165 s. If this periodicity is a high-order g-mode, then this star may be the hottest member of the hybrid DW-Lyn stars. In addition to the resolved pulsation frequencies, additional periodic variations in the light curve …

First Kepler Results On Compact Pulsators - V. Slowly Pulsating Subdwarf B Stars In Short-Period Binaries, S. D. Kawaler, Michael D. Reed, R. H. Østensen, S. Bloemen, D. W. Kurtz, A. C. Quint, R. Silvotti, A. S. Baran, E. M. Green, For Complete List Of Authors, See Publisher's Website.

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

The survey phase of the Kepler Mission includes a number of hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars to search for non-radial pulsations. We present our analysis of two sdB stars that are found to be g-mode pulsators of the V1093-Her class. These two stars also display the distinct irradiation effect typical of sdB stars with a close M-dwarf companion with orbital periods of less than half a day. Because the orbital period is so short, the stars should be in synchronous rotation, and if so, the rotation period should imprint itself on the multiplet structure of the pulsations. However, we do …

First Kepler Results On Compact Pulsators - Iii. Subdwarf B Stars With V1093 Her And Hybrid (Dw Lyn) Type Pulsations, M. D. Reed, S. D. Kawaler, R. H. Østensen, S. Bloemen, A. Baran, J. H. Telting, R. Silvotti, S. Charpinet, A. C. Quint, For Complete List Of Authors, See Publisher's Website.

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

We present the discovery of non-radial pulsations in five hot subdwarf B (sdB) stars based on 27-d of nearly continuous time series photometry using the Kepler spacecraft. We find that every sdB star cooler than ≈27-500-K that Kepler has observed (seven so far) is a long-period pulsator of the V1093 Her (PG 1716) class or a hybrid star with both short and long periods. The apparently non-binary long-period and hybrid pulsators are described here. The V1093 Her periods range from 1 to 4.5-h and are associated with g-mode pulsations. Three stars also exhibit short periods indicative of p-modes with periods …

Series Books And Their Effect On Reader Development, Dana Randisi

Education Masters

This study was conducted to determine the impact that series books have on developing reading skills and motivation. Data was collected through interviews with three teachers, observations of three secondgraders‟ book choices, and analysis of three different book series. The data showed that book series are widely read across grade levels and are useful in developing comprehension and fluency skills. The study implies that book series can provide many benefits to developing readers, but that it is important to use the appropriate level of book with each reader to prevent higher-level readers from holding themselves back. The research also shows …

How Are Elementary Teachers Utilizing Technology To Enhance Their Instruction Of Literacy In The Classroom?, Alissa B. Hawkins

Education Masters

This study examined how elementary teachers used technology to enhance literacy instruction in the classroom. Research was conducted by observing and interviewing both teachers and students in two classrooms, one a blended 3rd/4th grade classroom and the other a 4th grade classroom, on how technology is utilized in the classroom for literacy instruction. The findings showed the use of technology to be highly beneficial for elementary students. The students demonstrated an increase in motivation, attention and engagement. The benefits provided by technology allow students to participate more fully in the educational opportunities of the 21st century and helped students gain …

The Green, Blue And Grey Water Footprint Of Farm Animals And Animal Products. Volume 1: Main Report, Mesfin Mekonnen, Arjen Y. Hoekstra

Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute: Faculty Publications

The projected increase in the production and consumption of animal products is likely to put further pressure on the globe’s freshwater resources. The size and characteristics of the water footprint vary across animal types and production systems. The current study provides a comprehensive account of the global green, blue and grey water footprints of different sorts of farm animals and animal products, distinguishing between different production systems and considering the conditions in all countries of the world separately. The following animal categories were considered: beef cattle, dairy cattle, pig, sheep, goat, broiler chicken, layer chicken and horses. The study shows …
