Enhancement Of Ultrasonic Welding Of Bulk Carbon Nanotube-Metallic And Graphene-Metallic Conductors, Daniel L. Broderick Jul 2025

Enhancement Of Ultrasonic Welding Of Bulk Carbon Nanotube-Metallic And Graphene-Metallic Conductors, Daniel L. Broderick

Theses

Nanostructured carbon sheets comprising carbon nanotube (CNT) or graphene are appealing for electrode and antenna applications. Physical connection to metal conductors requires enhanced mechanical strength, electrical performance, and thermal capability. Ultrasonic welding is a viable technique to fabricate stable and robust bonds but requires methods to further reduce electrical resistance and improve mechanical strength. The present dissertation has advanced ultrasonic welding between bulk CNT electrodes and Cu foil by utilizing chemically doped junctions at the bond interface. Specifically, a selective doping strategy using KAuBr4 at the bonding regions between bulk CNT electrodes and Cu lowers the electrical contact resistance measured …

Intrinsic Motivation Teaching Experiences Of Middle School Educators 4 Years After The Pandemic, Carmy Aristor

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the educational landscape, significantly impacting middle school educators’ intrinsic motivation to teach. While research has extensively addressed the immediate impacts of the pandemic on education, there remains a gap in understanding how middle school educators make sense of their intrinsic motivation teaching experiences 4 years after the pandemic. Grounded in intrinsic motivation as the conceptual framework supported by the self-determination theory (SDT), the purpose of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of the intrinsic motivation teaching experiences of middle school educators 4 years after the pandemic. The central research question examined the lived …

Due to their clinical heterogeneity, nonspecific symptoms, and the limitations of existing biomarkers and imaging modalities, metabolic brain diseases (MBDs), such as mitochondrial encephalopathies, lysosomal storage disorders, and glucose metabolism syndromes, pose significant diagnostic challenges. This review examines the growing potential of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) derived from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) epigenetic profiling as a dynamic, cell-type-specific, minimally invasive biomarker approach for MBD diagnosis and monitoring. We review important technological platforms and their use in identifying CNS-specific DNA methylation patterns indicative of neuronal injury, neuroinflammation, and metabolic reprogramming, including cfMeDIP-seq, enzymatic methyl sequencing (EM-seq), and targeted bisulfite sequencing. By synthesizing current …


Patterns And Processes Behind Secretive Marshbird Movement, Abundance, And Distribution Across Southeastern Louisiana, Leah Moran Jul 2025

Patterns And Processes Behind Secretive Marshbird Movement, Abundance, And Distribution Across Southeastern Louisiana, Leah Moran

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Restoration and conservation of coastal Louisiana hinges on understanding the patterns and processes underlying habitat heterogeneity on the landscape and therefore the species that inhabits this region, including secretive marshbirds. Elusive in nature, this guild of birds has evolved under dynamic hydroperiods, and myriad plant communities present within wetlands. Only recently, however, has research focused on the role of hydrologic dynamics and vegetative structure and distribution on abundance, movement and detection of marshbirds, specifically within southeastern Louisiana. This study aimed to quantify the ecological patterns and processes, particularly hydrologic processes and landscape structure, driving breeding secretive marshbird movement, abundance and …


Be Mindful: Examining A Brief Mindfulness Intervention On Educator Well-Being, Oceann S. Gittens Jul 2025

Be Mindful: Examining A Brief Mindfulness Intervention On Educator Well-Being, Oceann S. Gittens

LSU Doctoral Dissertations

Teaching is currently rated as one of the topmost stressful occupations. Concerningly, chronic levels of stress can lead to poor mental and physical health, occupational burnout, and teacher attrition; all of which have a negative impact on student outcomes. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are commonly used to combat occupational stress by enhancing educator well-being. There is compelling evidence to support these types of interventions with teachers. However, the length of many MBIs may make them prohibitive for the average educator to participate in them. The literature suggests that a briefer format may be just as effective at reducing stress, but more …

Dual Action Dynamics: Assessing Hypopharyngeal Cancer Cell Survival Using Combination Chemotherapy, Luke Nieman Jul 2025

Dual Action Dynamics: Assessing Hypopharyngeal Cancer Cell Survival Using Combination Chemotherapy, Luke Nieman

Biology Summer Fellows

Targeting glucose metabolism is an attractive strategy for cancer treatment, as cancer cells rely more heavily on glycolysis than oxidative phosphorylation, a phenomenon known as the Warburg Effect (Wang et al 2015). Reversing this metabolic reprogramming can impair cancer cell proliferation. NG52, a small-molecule inhibitor of PGK1, has been shown to effectively reverse the Warburg Effect and reduce cancer cell viability (Wycliffe et al. 2007). Paclitaxel, commonly Taxol, is a chemotherapeutic agent that disrupts mitotic spindle function, causing mitotic arrest and apoptosis (Markman et al 2005). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of NG52 …
