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 …

The Effect Of The Chemical And Microbiological Structure Of Biofilms On The Growth Of Oyster Spats In The Hudson River, June L. Rahman

Student Theses and Dissertations

Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are sessile suspension feeding bivalves that improve water quality through filtration and reef formation, making them crucial to the health oftheir native ecosystems. Establishing oyster habitats is a priority in Hudson River restoration efforts following significant population declines due to over harvesting, habitat loss, and pollution. Oyster spat production and attachment are influenced by biofilms; however, it is not well known how biofilm properties, such as bacterial taxonomic composition and EPS content, affect oyster larval attachment in the Hudson River. We hypothesized that intertidal surfaces,which are more exposed sunlight, would develop photosynthetic biofilms that enhance oyster …

Traveling Wave Fronts For Sir Epidemic Models With Nonlocal Dispersal And Delayed Effects, Ashley Evette Embry

Theses and Dissertations

This dissertation investigates traveling wave solutions for two classes of delayed nonlocal dispersal susceptible--infected--recovered (SIR) epidemic models incorporating biologically realistic mechanisms such as delayed infectivity, delayed dispersal, nonlocal transmission, demographic turnover, and nonlinear incidence effects. These models extend classical spatial epidemic frameworks by allowing long-range population movement through nonlocal dispersal operators and incorporating temporal memory into both diffusion and transmission processes. The primary objective is to establish the existence of traveling wave solutions connecting disease-free equilibria to endemic states and to characterize threshold conditions governing epidemic propagation. The simultaneous presence of nonlocal dispersal, multiple delays, and non-monotone nonlinear incidence terms …

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 …

Promoting Mobility and Emotional Well-Being Through Chair Yoga in Women Experiencing Homelessness

This paper summarizes a project completed by nursing students at a women’s day center and transitional housing program in Washington state that supports women experiencing homelessness as they work toward stability. The center provides daytime services to more than 200 women daily who experience chronic stress, trauma, limited access to healthcare, and environmental barriers. These challenges occur within a broader regional crisis, as the 2024 Point‑in‑Time Count states that 16,868 individuals are experiencing homelessness in King County, a 26% increase from 2022 (King County Regional Homelessness Authority, 2024). …

Implementation Of A Provider-Focused Multimodal Educational Initiative To Address Polypharmacy And High-Risk Medication Use In A Home And Community Medicare Advantage Setting, Jennifer Butler-Rickard, Kellie Olsen, Eileen Stuart-Shor, Craig Drew

Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects

BACKGROUND: Community-dwelling adults are at risk for adverse drug events such as falls, hospitalizations, cognitive decline, drug-to-drug interactions, and mortality related to high-risk medication use and polypharmacy, often defined as concurrent use of five or more different medications. Lack of provider knowledge of polypharmacy and high-risk medication use as well as suboptimal communication with primary care providers can lead to gaps in medication management in this vulnerable population.

LOCAL PROBLEM: Patients seen by the Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment Program advanced practice clinicians (APCs) at the project Medicare Advantage insurer organization often experience polypharmacy. Given the lack of provider knowledge of …

Do Rural-Urban Disparities Translate Into Nursing Complexity At Hospital Admission? Evidence From A Single Tertiary-Care Pediatric Hospital In Italy, Manuele Cesare, Gianfranco Damiani, Gloria Anderson, Jessica Preziosi, Rosemary Frasso, Leonardo Villani, Nursing And Public Health Group, Vittorio Maio, Antonello Cocchieri

College of Population Health Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Rural-urban disparities are well documented in pediatric healthcare, influencing access, service organization, and outcomes. However, whether these differences extend to the domain of nursing care remains unclear. This study examined the association between degree of urbanization and nursing complexity among children admitted to a single tertiary-care pediatric hospital, comparing clinical, organizational, and nursing characteristics across geographic groups.

METHODS: Routinely collected electronic nursing documentation and hospital administrative records were retrospectively examined in a tertiary-care pediatric hospital in Rome, Italy. Children aged 2 to < 18 years were consecutively included. Degree of urbanization was defined using the ISTAT-derived DEGURBA classification. The study outcome for nursing complexity corresponded to the number of nursing diagnoses documented at hospital admission. Descriptive analyses and a multivariable negative binomial regression model assessed the association between urbanization and nursing complexity, adjusting for age, sex, DRG weight, number of medical diagnoses, and chronic conditions.

RESULTS: Among 1652 pediatric hospitalizations, those from rural areas showed a higher clinical burden, with significantly higher …

Increased Neural Activity In The Bed Nucleus Of The Stria Terminalis Of Uninfected Canaries After Observation Of Infected Conspecifics, Madeleine Chang, Sophia Santangelo, Devon Comito, Bennett Hardy, Patricia C. Lopes

Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles and Research

Recent evidence suggests that the immune system may be upregulated in anticipation of pathogen exposure, yet the neural mechanisms that respond to and signal impending infection risk remain poorly understood. We investigated neural responses to infection risk in uninfected hosts observing infected conspecifics, using the canary (Serinus canaria domestica)—Mycoplasma gallisepticum host–parasite system. We focused on five brain regions of interest, comprising three nodes of the social decision-making network—preoptic area, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) and hippocampus—a stress modulatory region (paraventricular nucleus) and a visual processing region (nucleus rotundus). After 1 h of observing infected canaries, …

Systemic Inflammation And Subclinical Myocardial Injury: A Systematic Review Of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein And High-Sensitivity Troponin In Asymptomatic Adults, Vasisht Karri, Janvi N. Patel, Russell L. Kennedy

Student Publications

Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) detects low-level cardiomyocyte injury and predicts incident heart failure (HF), coronary events, and mortality in individuals without overt cardiovascular disease (CVD). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) captures systemic inflammatory burden and is associated with cardiometabolic risk and future atherosclerotic events. Whether systemic inflammation is consistently linked to subclinical myocardial injury across populations and how this relationship should inform preventive cardiology has not been synthesized in a single, clinically oriented systematic review. Objective: To systematically review epidemiologic, clinical, and translational evidence connecting systemic inflammation (hs-CRP and related pathways) with subclinical myocardial injury (hs-cTn) in asymptomatic adults, and …

”Wet Floodplains” Protect Carbon Sequestration Hot Spots: How Carbon Sequestration Varies Across The Floodplain, Jacob Schnell, Joshua Landis, Jordan Fields, Carl Renshaw

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

Carbon hot spots (peats) store 2̃0x more carbon, and at a faster rate than any other area on the Dead Diamond floodplain. The fluxes found in this study give us a reference template for how river restoration could proceed, including how current techniques might be actively mismanaging these hot spots.

The Effects Of Solutes On The Growth Of Crystals In Polycrystalline Ice ​, Roberto Nieto Jr, Chinazom Onubogu, Ian Baker

Wetterhahn Science Symposium Posters

The structure of sea ice (NaCl-doped water) differs from freshwater ice. In this project, we will be investigating how ice grows when doped with various solutes such as sodium chloride and sulfuric acid. There are two projects that were investigated. The first project consisted of finding the velocity of the ice growth of deionized water, saltwater, and water doped with sulfuric acid. The second project consisted of observing how the polycrystalline structure of ice differs between deionized water, saltwater, and water doped with sulfuric acid.
