Chronic Fluid Flow Is An Environmental Modifier Of Renal Epithelial Function, Andrew Resnick Oct 2011

Chronic Fluid Flow Is An Environmental Modifier Of Renal Epithelial Function, Andrew Resnick

Physics Faculty Publications

Although solitary or sensory cilia are present in most cells of the body and their existence has been known since the sixties, very little is been known about their functions. One suspected function is fluid flow sensing- physical bending of cilia produces an influx of Ca++, which can then result in a variety of activated signaling pathways. Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a progressive disease, typically appearing in the 5th decade of life and is one of the most common monogenetic inherited human diseases, affecting approximately 600,000 people in the United States. Because ADPKD is a slowly progressing …

Adaptive-Model Based Self-Tuning Generalized Predictive Control Of A Biodiesel Reactor / Ho Yong Kuen, Yong Kuen Ho Oct 2011

Adaptive-Model Based Self-Tuning Generalized Predictive Control Of A Biodiesel Reactor / Ho Yong Kuen, Yong Kuen Ho

Student Works (2010-2019)

Traditionally, the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm was used in the Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) framework solely for model adaptation purposes. In this work, the RLS algorithm was extended to also cater for self-tuning of the controller. Specifically, the analytical expressions proposed by Shridhar and Cooper (1997b) for offline tuning of the move suppression weight was deployed for online tuning. This new combination, denoted as the Adaptive-Model Based Self-Tuning Generalized Predictive Control (AS-GPC), contains both model adaptation and selftuning capabilities within the same controller structure. Several RLS algorithms were screened and the Variable Forgetting Factor Recursive Least Squares (VFF-RLS) algorithm …


Modeling Nitrogen Loading In A Small Watershed In Southwest China Using A Dndc Model With Hydrological Enhancements, Jia Deng, Zaixing Zhou, Bo Zhu, Xunhua Zheng, Changsheng Li, X. Wang, Z. Jian Oct 2011

Modeling Nitrogen Loading In A Small Watershed In Southwest China Using A Dndc Model With Hydrological Enhancements, Jia Deng, Zaixing Zhou, Bo Zhu, Xunhua Zheng, Changsheng Li, X. Wang, Z. Jian

Faculty Publications

The degradation of water quality has been observed worldwide, and inputs of nitrogen (N), along with other nutrients, play a key role in the process of contamination. The quantification of N loading from non-point sources at a watershed scale has long been a challenge. Process-based models have been developed to address this problem. Because N loading from non-point sources result from interactions between biogeochemical and hydrological processes, a model framework must include both types of processes if it is to be useful. This paper reports the results of a study in which we integrated two fundamental hydrologic features, the SCS …

Family Communication Patterns And African-American Adolescent Females’ Self-Reported Use Of Condoms, Natasha Hibbert Oct 2011

Family Communication Patterns And African-American Adolescent Females’ Self-Reported Use Of Condoms, Natasha Hibbert

Theses

African-American females are the fastest growing HIV/AIDS population in the U.S. The best preventative measure after abstinence is condom usage. Although the importance of condom usage is widely publicized, it is not always adopted. In trying to identify ways to increase adolescents' condom usage, past research has shown that positive communication between parents/guardians and adolescents has increased their condom usage and caused condom usage to be more consistent. This pilot study explores the relationship between African-American adolescent females and parents/guardians and if open communication about sexual intercourse and contraceptive usage increases adolescent condom usage. Data have been collected from self-administered …

Alternative Ways Of Developing And Assessing Fluency With Basic Facts, Amy Laponsie Oct 2011

Alternative Ways Of Developing And Assessing Fluency With Basic Facts, Amy Laponsie

Honors Theses

Fluency in mathematics indicates the student has a variety of strategies to use when encountering an unfamiliar or unknown problem. In this study, students were assessed using a one-on-one interview assessment with the researcher. This type of assessment was used to reduce the stress and anxiety students feel during traditional math exams. The students then were grouped based on the correctness of their answers as well as the sophistication of their answers, meaning whether or not they used a strategy or counting to answer the problem. The students participated in thirty minute mini-lessons where they focused on the Making Ten …

Design Of A Retinal Tracking System For Jumping Spiders, Cristina Canavesi, Skye Long, Dennis Fantone, Elizabeth Jakob, Robert R. Jackson, Duane Harland, Jannick P. Rolland Oct 2011

Design Of A Retinal Tracking System For Jumping Spiders, Cristina Canavesi, Skye Long, Dennis Fantone, Elizabeth Jakob, Robert R. Jackson, Duane Harland, Jannick P. Rolland

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

We designed an optical system for tracking the retinal movement of a jumping spider as a stimulus is presented to it. The system, using all off-the-shelf optical components except for one custom aspheric plate, consists of three sub-systems that share a common path: a visible stimuli presentation sub-system, a NIR illumination sub-system, and a NIR retinal imaging sub-system. A 25 mm clearance between the last element and the spider ensures a stable positioning of the spider. The stimuli presentation system relays an image from a display to the spider eye, matching the 15 arcmin resolution of the two principal eyes …
