Comparative Assessments Of Methane Flux Measurement Techniques In Serpentinite-Influenced Groundwater Wells, Madison J. Stetson
Comparative Assessments Of Methane Flux Measurement Techniques In Serpentinite-Influenced Groundwater Wells, Madison J. Stetson
Open Access Master's Theses
Methane (CH4) emissions from continental serpentinizing systems represent a significant component of Earth’s carbon cycling. Despite increasing recognition of serpentinite-hosted water-rock interactions as a source of trace gases, standardized field methodologies for quantifying trace gas flux from groundwater wells and similar subsurface conduits remain limited. This study addresses that gap by evaluating the reliability and replicability of three chamber-based sampling methods for measuring gas flux in serpentinite-hosted groundwater systems accessed by groundwater monitoring wells. Field measurements were conducted at the Coast Range Ophiolite Microbial Observatory (CROMO) within the McLaughlin Natural Reserve in Lower Lake, California, a site …

Research Outputs: 2025-Present
We demonstrate strain-enabled, reversible spectral tuning of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based capillary micro resonator. The WGMs were excited using evanescent wave coupling via an adiabatic fiber taper. A finite element method (FEM) model was developed to investigate strain-induced deformation in polymer capillaries, from which the corresponding wavelength tuning characteristics were numerically derived. Experimental results reveal that the polymer capillary resonator shows greater strain sensitivity than a solid polymer cylindrical resonator. A maximum strain sensitivity of 0.82 pm/με was experimentally demonstrated using a polymer capillary resonator (PCR) with an outer diameter of 100 μm and wall …

The soil remains the largest carbon sink, the capacity of which varies spatiotemporally and with anthropogenic activities, with implications for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and associated global warming. Despite the increasing popularity of organic amendments in the ecologically and anthropoculturally diverse farming systems of tropical Africa, manure-induced CO2 emissions in this region with high soil-carbon-sequestration potential are poorly documented. This study assessed seasonal CO2 emissions from poultry manure-amended sandy-clay-loam and sandy-loam soils in the Rainforest-Savannah and Southern Guinea Savannah zones, respectively, of Nigeria. Following manure application at 3 rates (0, 10, and 15 t ha-1), soil samples were collected during …

Designing For Engagement: A Comparison Of Canvas And A Visual Peer Review Dashboard, Alon Friedman, Md Dilshadur Rahman, Ly Dinh, Paul Rosen
School of Information Faculty Publications
Peer review is an underutilized yet potentially powerful strategy for fostering evaluative judgment and design literacy in visualization education. Critiquing visual work requires domain-specific competencies that extend beyond generic peer feedback; however, widely adopted platforms such as Canvas provide limited support for the cognitive and visual demands of visualization critique. We introduce VisPeerReview, a visualization-specific learning analytics dashboard (LAD) designed to scaffold peer feedback through an integrated visualization display, rubric-guided prompts, and inline annotation tools. We evaluated VisPeerReview through a three-phase mixed-methods study conducted in an undergraduate data visualization course, comparing it with Canvas’s default peer-review workflow. Drawing on interaction …

Collaboration On Waltz Labels Can Achieve Qualitative Stereo Vision, Ben Mathew, Majed Alotaibi, Debasis Mitra, Marius Silaghi
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
Stereo vision requires calibration that can be hard to achieve or guarantee, so we propose a Qualitative Stereo Vision approach based on logical reasoning about edges detected from cameras/robots having different points of view. The proposed technique builds upon the qualitative reasoning of Waltz filtering on edges of a 2D image, which is extended to reasoning about edges from multiple images with different points of view. An assumption is that edges and vertexes that appear in different images can be identified based on their features. We find that a consistent spatial interpretation of a scene, classifying occluding, convex, and concave …

Cladding-Engineered Hollow-Core Fiber For Polarization Control And Optical Sensing Applications, M.M. Shoaib Hasan, Md Shah Alam, Md Selim Habib, Md Asiful Islam
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications
A polarization-selective hollow-core antiresonant fiber (HC-ARF) is proposed and numerically investigated for single-polarization guidance in the telecom band. Finite-element simulations across the 1.50–1.60 μm range show that the optimized design achieves a high polarization extinction ratio of 1.73x 104 at 1.55 μm, with low loss for the y–polarized mode (0.72 dB/km) and strongly suppressed x–polarized loss (12531 dB/km). The fiber also provides a modal birefringence of 0.21x 10-4, enabling strong polarization selectivity and stable single-polarization guidance. These results indicate that the proposed PM-HC-ARF is well-suited for polarization-sensitive applications such as interferometry, sensing, and coherent communication. © 2009-2012 IEEE.
