An Experimental Comparison Of The Performance Of Two Impulse Micro-Hydro Turbine Impellers, Joshua A. Matheny
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The goal of this project was to measure the performance of two micro-hydro Turgo Impulse Turbine Impellers. In 2014, Hydropower accounted for 6% of total electric power produced and 48% of electricity produced by renewable sources in the United States. Micro-hydro power is an established, robust, and versatile technology that can help society produce electric power without the emission of greenhouse gases and with minimal environmental impact. Competition from other renewable energy sources is causing the operational efficiency and power production of micro-hydro turbines to become increasingly important. This competition puts pressure on manufacturers to improve the quality of their …

Motive Taxonomic And Sex Considerations Of Murder-Suicide, Matthew R. Mcnally
Motive Taxonomic And Sex Considerations Of Murder-Suicide, Matthew R. Mcnally
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Using data obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS), the present study examines two emerging topics in the field of murder-suicide research. The majority of murder-suicide perpetrators are male, so female perpetrators are rarely studied. First, the current study uses the largest known sample of female murder-suicide perpetrators to explore murder-suicide differences by sex. Second, motives from the recently-proposed perversion of virtue theory of murder-suicide are operationalized with input from the theory developer and analyzed. The perversion of virtue theory is compared to the predominant murder-suicide motive typology to evaluate whether …

Controls On Ecosystem Nitrogen (N) Status And Carbon (C) Balance In Red Spruce Forests Located In A Region Of Historically High Atmospheric N Deposition., Kenneth R. Smith
Controls On Ecosystem Nitrogen (N) Status And Carbon (C) Balance In Red Spruce Forests Located In A Region Of Historically High Atmospheric N Deposition., Kenneth R. Smith
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Atmospheric deposition of reactive nitrogen (N) can have a strong influence on patterns of carbon (C) and N cycling in forest ecosystems. High-elevation red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) forests in the central Appalachian Mountains have historically been among the most sensitive ecosystems to the negative effects of N deposition. I examined the primary environmental factors that influence 1) N status, 2) belowground C balance, and 3) red spruce aboveground growth in seven high-elevation study sites that are located in an area where N deposition has been historically moderate to high. I established the seven sites in 2011 along a transect …
Beyond Eureka: What Creators Want (Freedom, Credit, And Audiences) And How Intellectual Property Can Better Give It To Them (By Supporting, Sharing, Licensing, And Attribution), Colleen Chien
Michigan Law Review
In the theater of the courtroom or the rough and tumble arena of intellectual property policymaking, the day-to-day lives of creators are rarely presented. We often instead see one-dimensional vignettes, for example, “the new artist or band that has just released their [sic] first single and will not be paid for its success,” described on Taylor Swift’s Tumblr last summer when she initially withdrew from Apple’s music streaming service. While instructive, this description leaves out that Swift and other artists have long relied on “free play” mediums like radio and, more recently, YouTube to develop, not cannibalize, their audiences and …

Molecular Characterization Of Lhx8, An Oocyte-Specific Transcription Factor, And Its Interacting Proteins In Rainbow Trout And Cattle, Liyuan Fu
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
LIM homeobox 8 (Lhx8) is an important transcription factor that is preferentially expressed in germ cells. Lhx8 null mice are infertile due to lack of oocytes and impairment of the transition from primordial follicles to primary follicles. Lhx8 deficiency also affects the expression of many important oocyte-specific genes. To date, no attempts have been made to investigate the existence of any cellular factors that might interact with Lhx8 protein in oocytes and early embryos. In this study, we report the characterization of rainbow trout and bovine Lhx8 genes and identification of important germ cell-specific nuclear factors that interact with Lhx8 …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The sculptural work presented in this thesis and the accompanying exhibition showcase the ideas of memory, its fallacy, and why certain objects become tied to the idea of a specific time, place, and culture. Using my own personal experiences growing up in rural West Virginia, I call upon traditional crafting techniques to relay a sense of nostalgia commonly found throughout Appalachia. The expression of the hand present throughout the work highlights the importance placed on these seemingly mundane objects, which hold a special place in my history.
Manual Optical Attitude Re-Initialization Of A Crew Vehicle In Space Using Bias Corrected Gyro Data, Christopher J. Gioia
Manual Optical Attitude Re-Initialization Of A Crew Vehicle In Space Using Bias Corrected Gyro Data, Christopher J. Gioia
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
NASA and other space agencies have shown interest in sending humans on missions beyond low Earth orbit. Proposed is an algorithm that estimates the attitude of a manned spacecraft using measured line-of-sight (LOS) vectors to stars and gyroscope measurements. The Manual Optical Attitude Reinitialization (MOAR) algorithm and corresponding device draw inspiration from existing technology from the Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. The improvement over these devices is the capability of estimating gyro bias completely independent from re-initializing attitude. It may be applied to the lost-in-space problem, where the spacecraft's attitude is unknown.;In this work, a model was constructed that …
Spatial And Temporal Distribution Of The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Jakob Goldner
Spatial And Temporal Distribution Of The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), Jakob Goldner
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
An obstacle to efficient management of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is the lack of knowledge of its seasonal movements at the landscape level. H. halys is highly mobile and utilizes various commodities throughout the growing season and winter, making it difficult to manage. We hypothesized that H. halys displayed an annual spatial pattern at the farm scale and as they moved into overwintering habitats. To test for a spatial pattern at the farm scale, we conducted a two-year spatial study on three organic farms in West Virginia and New Jersey. A total of 92-127 sample …
Distribution And Efficacy Of Chemotherapeutics In The Treatment Of Preclinical Brain Metastases Of Breast Cancer, Tori Terrell Hall
Distribution And Efficacy Of Chemotherapeutics In The Treatment Of Preclinical Brain Metastases Of Breast Cancer, Tori Terrell Hall
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Brain metastases are a critical, life-threatening problem for women with advanced metastatic breast cancer. Approximately 80% of women with disseminated central lesions are unable to survive the first year after diagnosis. Despite the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, chemotherapeutics have limited penetration and distribution into brain metastases and are unable to induce cytotoxicity in the tumor. Limiting the development of new treatments for brain metastases of breast cancer, there are no commercially available in vitro models available that accurately model, and mimic the functionality of, the in vivo blood-tumor barrier (BTB). In an attempt to address the aforementioned problem, the …
Development Of Engine Activity Cycles For The Prime-Movers Of Unconventional Well Completion, Robert S. Heltzel
Development Of Engine Activity Cycles For The Prime-Movers Of Unconventional Well Completion, Robert S. Heltzel
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
The US natural gas extraction industry has grown by 25% over the past decade. This has encouraged the well completion industry to utilize produced natural gas to meet power demands previously obtained with diesel fuel. The major "prime-movers" of diesel fuel consumption are over-the-road (OTR) trucks, high horsepower drilling, and high horsepower hydraulic fracturing engines. The US Department of Energy (DOE) recently granted West Virginia University (WVU) funding, under agreement DE-FE0013689, to "Assess Fugitive Methane Emissions Impact Using Natural Gas Engines in Unconventional Resource Development." As part of the funding, WVU was tasked with creating engine activity cycles representative of …
