Method Of Fast Accessing Reallocated Sectors, Randi Walz, Jian Qiang, Kai Chen, Brian Edgar, Yu Hang Chen

Defensive Publications Series

In current HDD design, reallocation is a remapping between logical and physical address, the reallocations are treated as LLRW error, and extra disc requests, seeks are needed to process reallocations. The reallocation count is visible through SMART which could show unhealthy status to users. Although reallocations can be cached by current data caching scheme, it is temporary, and not available if users turn off caching feature, or enabling FUA mode. In this method: The reallocated sectors are kept in a reserved cache space since power up, and to be accessed through cache nearly permanently unless # of reallocated sectors exceed …

Distance Calculations Of Faint Dwarf Galaxies Through Surface Brightness Fluctuations, Blake A. Richesin, Guinevere Herron, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) technique in determining the distance to three distinct galaxy targets. The targets were dwarf galaxies Tucana B, Kamino, and Hedgehog. The technique used image masking, Sérsic profiles, and convolving with point spread functions (PSF). The study showed that redder, quenched galaxies are prime candidates for the SBF technique, while bluer, star-forming galaxies are more difficult to constrain the distance of.

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

Using a combined two-photon excitation fluorescence (TPEF) and second-harmonic generation (SHG) approach, our research seeks to further the quantification of skin components in a quest toward diagnostic tools with higher accuracy and reduced invasiveness for patients. Images are taken both ex vivo and in vivo, of healthy and malignant tissues, with a 600 × 600 micron field of view. We demonstrate how computational analysis can effectively exploit signals emitted by skin to provide diagnostic insight.

The Cannabis Motivation Spectrum: Comparing Medical, Recreational And Dual Intent Users, Addyson Domian, Jacob Borodovsky

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

There is a lack of a standardized definition of “medical” cannabis use in the healthcare industry, which has led to an informal, user-reported definition of medical use. Consequently, individuals who use cannabis for both medical and recreational reasons (dual intent) are not always differentiated from pure medical or pure recreational users. This study compares self-defined medical only and dual intent motivational groups relative to recreational only users to better understand how these groups differ by analyzing sociodemographic and use patterns, clinically relevant factors, and claimed cannabis-related benefits. Using data from the Qualtrics Cannabis Exposure Index survey instrument of 8836 adult …

Ethical Recruitment In Graduate Education: How Labor Market Intelligence Shapes Messaging For Master’S Programs With Varying Career Outcomes, Alexander Charles Harm

Theses and Dissertations

Graduate recruitment messaging increasingly incorporates labor market information (LMI) to communicate the value of master’s programs, yet little is known about how marketing and admissions professionals decide when and how to use this data. This qualitative single-case study examines how recruitment and marketing professionals at a public research institution leverage LMI when framing the value of master’s programs with varying career outcomes. Drawing on interviews and analysis of recruitment materials, the study explores how data related to salary, job growth, and employer demand are selectively incorporated into recruitment messaging, shaping how program value is communicated to prospective students. While research …

Same-Subject Induction Experiences For Elementary Music Teachers: Teacher Efficacy Beliefs, Experiences Of Isolation, And Job Satisfaction, Wendy Tams Hickman

Theses and Dissertations

This survey study seeks to explain the relationships between elementary music teachers' experiences with same-subject induction support and those teachers' feelings of teacher efficacy, experiences of isolation, and job satisfaction. Independent variables came from latent class groupings of same-subject induction support for beginning elementary music teachers. Teacher background variables were also included as controls. Three- and four-step regression models helped provide understanding about how the relative set of predictors--teacher background variables, isolation levels, induction experiences, and interaction terms--predicted the three outcomes. Initial regression analyses showed that the number of years of teaching elementary music predicted efficacy and levels of isolation …

Designing Truthful Mechanisms: A Study Of Voting And Matching Rules, Abhigyan Bose

Doctoral Theses

Mechanisms are formal procedures used in game theory and economics to aggregate individual preferences into collective outcomes in strategic settings with private information. A truthful or strategy-proof mechanism ensures that agents are best off reporting their true preferences, thereby eliminating incentives for manipulation. Such mechanisms are important for achieving fairness, efficiency, and simplicity in practical applications. In environments without monetary transfers, voting and matching rules are two central classes of mechanisms. Voting rules are typically used for public decision-making, while matching rules allocate private goods among individuals. This thesis studies strategy-proof voting and matching rules under different environments and restrictions …

Measuring Modulation Envelope Of A Pound Drever Hall Feedback Loop, Josh S. Lee

Physics and Astronomy Undergraduate Senior Theses

From improving qubit readout to real world medical technology, fast and ultrasensitive electrometry has many real world applications. The primary goal of the overarching project is to improve ultrasensitive charge detection using methods involving cavity-embedded Cooper pair transistor (cCPT) devices. This project hopes to accomplish this by using the gate-tunability of the cCPT to reduce the 1/f-noise, a type of low-frequency noise that can interfere with the cCPT’s measurement operability. By using a Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) feedback loop-inspired scheme that can adjust the cCPT gate, this project hopes to improve the stability of the cCPT’s resonant frequency against the 1/f-noise, in …

From Theory To Practice: Investigating Process Safety Skills Acquisition And Bridging The Industry Readiness Gap, Brittany Butler-Morton

Theses and Dissertations

Process safety management is vital to companies operating highly hazardous materials or processes, and it is of interest to the engineering community as poor process safety judgments can have catastrophic results. Process safety judgments consider more than the prioritization of safety, as they are often influenced by elements like production, spending, reputation, and time. As such, it’s important to prepare engineering students nearing graduation for the complexity of these judgments and narrow the Theory-to-Practice gap for students entering industry. This work sought to identify 1) how the Theory-to-Practice gap is manifesting in process safety judgments, and 2) how the application …

Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scoring Implementation In A Critical Access Hospital, Jasmine A. Hobbs

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

Mechanically ventilated patients who are boarding in rural emergency departments face an increased risk of inconsistent sedation management due to the lack of standardized protocols and the extended transfer times to higher levels of care. The variability in sedation practices can lead to both under- and over-sedation, which negatively affects patient comfort, safety, and clinical outcomes. Research suggests that sedation protocols incorporating the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) can shorten mechanical ventilation duration and improve clinical outcomes. The purpose of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of a targeted educational intervention on improving nursing knowledge and comfort with the RASS …

Promoting Foot Care Health In Individuals Recovering From Addiction: A Collaborative And Community-Based Nursing Intervention, Erika Frahm, Kayla Goodrow, Zoe Hofmaister, Jaycie Inouye, Shuma Katori, Caleb James Maza, Fauzia Tomno

Nursing Leadership in Community Engagement Projects

As housing instability and homelessness increase in King County, many basic needs, including foot care, are often unmet. According to a study on foot health among vulnerable populations, individuals may be unable to perform proper foot care due to prioritization of basic daily needs over preventative care (Razmus, 2023). Research indicates that foot-related complications are highly prevalent among vulnerable populations and may worsen without timely intervention (Haughton et al., 2026). Barriers such as fear of stigmatization and untreated mental health conditions can also limit access to healthcare services (Kimball et al., 2023). These statistics inspired the purpose of this community …
