Synthesis And Characterization Of Metal-Organic Framework Nanostructures And Evaluation Of Their Photocatalytic Activity, James Kegere

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

Reticular materials have enlisted tremendous interest from researchers across the globe in the last two decades. This heightened interest stems from the novelty in structure and chemistry that renders them peerless in multiple fields such as medicine, energy, and environment. On the environmental research front these materials have found applications in mitigation of different pollutants such as CO₂ which is the most important greenhouse gas through storage and conversion, catalysis of CO₂ conversion into useful products. Furthermore, these materials have also proven to be effective sorbent materials for many toxic compounds that find their way into freshwater systems …

Understanding Confusion: A Case Study Of Training A Machine Model To Predict And Interpret Consensus From Volunteer Labels, Ramanakumar Sankar, Kameswara Mantha, Cooper Nesmith, Lucy Fortson, Shawn R. Brueshaber, Candice Hansen-Koharcheck, Glenn Orton

Michigan Tech Publications

Citizen science has become a valuable and reliable method for interpreting and processing big datasets, and is vital in the era of ever-growing data volumes. However, there are inherent difficulties in the generating labels from citizen scientists, due to the inherent variability between the members of the crowd, leading to variability in the results. Sometimes, this is useful — such as with serendipitous discoveries, which corresponds to rare/unknown classes in the data — but it might also be due to ambiguity between classes. The primary issue is then to distinguish between the intrinsic variability in the dataset and the uncertainty …

Investing In The Future: A Financial Comparative Study Of Hsis, Hbcus, And Non-Minority Serving Liberal Arts Colleges, Sophia Phelan

Honors Program Theses and Research Projects

This research presents a preliminary expedition into identifying the relationship between Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (ROI) of general liberal arts institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). HSIs and HBCUs have a long tradition of serving specific underrepresented communities of color, fostering success through culturally appropriate learning environments. This research utilizes a unique business lens to discuss the value of a service-based institution, using tools such as value proposition and consumer fit, and then, it compares each set of institutions using ROI and NPV. The data, sourced from College Scorecard, Georgetown …

Host Mediated Rhizobiome Engineering To Develop Locally Adapted Soil Mycorrhizal Inocula To Facilitate The Establishment Of Native Plants On Contaminated Soils, Anna Nugent

Graduate Theses & Non-Theses

The microbial community in the rhizosphere of plants plays an important role in plant establishment and survival, soil stability during stormwater runoff, and potential biofiltration of stormwater. Locally adapted fungal symbionts may further improve these outcomes for native plants at restoration sites. This study assesses the potential of host plant cultured, locally adapted soil mycorrhizal inocula to facilitate the establishment and growth of Mountain Big Sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp. vaseyana) on heavy-metal contaminated soils. Soil was obtained from the rhizosphere of native plants at three sites in the West Side Soils Operable Unit of the Butte, Montana Superfund Complex. One …

Effectiveness Of Mental Health Interventions For Adults With Cancer In The Us: An Integrative Review, Danielle Lee, Chelsea Ferguson

Master's Projects

The purpose of this review was to synthesize existing literature on the effects of mental health interventions for adult cancer patients following their initial diagnosis and to consolidate findings related to interventions addressing mental health conditions in this population. With the growing number of adults diagnosed with cancer, further research and the development of tailored mental health interventions are crucial to improving health outcomes.

A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, Medline Complete, and Health Source Nursing databases between January 2024 and February 2024. To ensure rigor, Toronto and Remington’s (2020) integrative review process was applied. The Johns Hopkins …

This thesis explores the design, construction, and operational strategies employed to minimize the environmental impact of the café, ensuring its sustainability both during construction and throughout its long-term operation.

The project is structured around several key objectives: reducing waste generation, conserving energy, utilizing sustainable materials, and promoting …

A Historical Review Of Course Requirements In Agricultural Mechanics For Agricultural Education, Teacher Education Undergraduates At Nine 1862 Land-Grant Universities, Kristopher R. L. Rankin Iii, M. Craig Edwards

Journal of Research in Technical Careers

Preparing pre-service students to teach agricultural mechanics is a difficult task due to the career pathway including a great variety of topics (Byrd et al., 2015). This study examined the trend in requirements in 1862 land-grant universities for number of courses, course credit hours, and course topics related to agricultural mechanics, as well as the total credit hours needed for degree completion in agricultural education, teacher education. Overall, the universities examined had lessened the total course credit hours related to agricultural mechanics courses from 8.33 to 11.83 credit hour requirements in 1980, to a range of 6.67 to 8.33 credit …

Forecasting Crime Rates Utilizing Machine Learning And Economic Indicators, Owen Miller

Honors Projects

Abstract: The following project utilized the correlation between economic indicators and crime rates to build tree-based machine learning algorithms that predict monthly crime rates in Ohio. The goal of the study was to answer how economic variables could be used in forecasting county level crime rates. A sample of 9 counties were utilized in building regression trees, random forests and evolutionary random forest models. The study concluded that lagged crime rates provided the best predictive ability in forecasting models, while economic variables provided more accuracy to property crime. The study could be furthered by creating models at the department level …

Taxonomy Of Cyber Risk Mitigation Cost Benefit Analysis Methods For Energy Infrastructure, Yvonne Kam Hwei Syn, Kevin Jones, Kimberly Tam, Robert Rawlinson-Smith

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics

Cybersecurity is a critical aspect for the energy industry to defend against cyber attacks. However, justifying the costs of cybersecurity measures is essential. A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is commonly used to support decision-making for risk mitigation, helping to identify strategies that optimally balance mitigation costs and risk reduction. In this survey, we analyse existing approaches and provide a taxonomic overview of methods for cyber risk mitigation cost-benefit analysis, focusing on key aspects that determine their applicability to energy systems. The survey includes both general and contextual works, employing various methodologies for CBA, whether analytical or criteria-based. We conclude with an …
