Estimating Load-Deflection Characteristics For The Shaft Resistance Of Piles Using Hyperbolic Strain Softening, Don C. Warrington
Estimating Load-Deflection Characteristics For The Shaft Resistance Of Piles Using Hyperbolic Strain Softening, Don C. Warrington
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
Hyperbolic soil modelling and strain softening have become better understood in recent years; however, their application to modelling load-deflection characteristics for the shaft of both bored and driven piles is in the early stages of development. This paper proposes a method that is based strictly on the strain-softening changes in shear modulus that is experienced to varying degrees around the pile shaft. A dimensionless method is proposed which can be transformed to a physical estimate using simple soil parameters.

Recent Advances Of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy In Biological Lipid Bilayer Membranes, Nafiseh Ghaffar Nia, Khalid Tantawi
Recent Advances Of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy In Biological Lipid Bilayer Membranes, Nafiseh Ghaffar Nia, Khalid Tantawi
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
Lipid Bilayer Membranes (LBMs) form the cellular boundaries that biologically and chemically separate the intracellular from the extracellular environment for biological cells. They also encapsulate many cellular organelles such as the Golgi Apparatus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum. With remarkably high flexibility, they form very complex and robust conformations such as in the Golgi apparatus; consequently, the mechanical dynamics and electrical characteristics of LBMs are the subjects of active research. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is an efficient and widely used method for characterizing the dielectric properties of biological systems. Unlike dielectrophoresis, EIS is non-invasive and does not need labeling to measure …

The motion control system involves a complex network of structures that are observed at all levels of the central nervous system. Different parts of the brain, especially the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, and basal ganglia, have an important role in the motion system. Motion commands are transmitted through the motor neurons in the spinal cord to the muscles and motion organs. At the level of the spinal cord, some control operations are performed on the motion system, such as reflexes and adjustment of motor neuron coefficients. The harmonious and complex movements that require skill are performed through the circuits that …
First Report Of Meiofauna Biodiversity From The Tennessee River, Francesca Leasi, Jessica Cline, Noura Elsaeed, Luke Qualey
First Report Of Meiofauna Biodiversity From The Tennessee River, Francesca Leasi, Jessica Cline, Noura Elsaeed, Luke Qualey
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
Small-sized (< 1mm) invertebrates, commonly known as meiofauna, are abundant and ubiquitous in all aquatic ecosystems, performing key functions such as nutrient cycling and sediment stability. Yet, their unexplored diversity and response to disturbances limit our capacity to understand, mitigate, and remediate the consequences of pollution and environmental changes. The biodiversity of meiofauna is largely overlooked especially in freshwater habitats. For example, the Tennessee River hosts more aquatic species than any other region in North America and contains one of the most diverse aquatic ecosystems in the world, however, little is known about its meiofaunal biodiversity. This work includes results obtained between 2019 and 2021 thanks to the contribution of research students working in Leasi’s lab and students enrolled in the Meiofauna Biodiversity class. An integrated morphological and molecular approach revealed the presence of over 200 meiofaunal species distributed across 10 phyla. Results support that the Tennessee River could be a hotspot of biodiversity for small-sized animals as well. Future works will focus on understanding how anthropogenic inputs affect meiofauna biodiversity in this important ecosystem.

Computational Modeling Of The Effects Of Process Parameters On The Grain Morphology Of Additively Manufactured Stainless Steel, Saeed Ataollahi, Mohammad J. Mahtabi
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
The microstructure of the parts created using Directed Energy Deposition (DED) additive manufacturing method, vary notably due to a change in the processing parameters. Since there is a direct relation between grain morphology and the mechanical properties of a part, understanding the effects of each process parameter on the grain morphology is critical towards optimal fabrication of parts using DED method. In this study, Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method was used to model the DED of parts made of 304L stainless steel. In order to simulate the grain evolution, KMC Potts model, which is a statistical mechanics model, was implemented. …
The Effects Of Dissolved And Suspended Solids On Freshwater Meiofauna, Jessica Cline, Francesca Leasi
The Effects Of Dissolved And Suspended Solids On Freshwater Meiofauna, Jessica Cline, Francesca Leasi
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
Meiofauna include small-sized animals (< 1mm) distributed in all aquatic ecosystems on Earth, where they play fundamental trophic and ecological roles. The biodiversity of marine meiofauna and its links with anthropogenic activities is routinely investigated, however, freshwater communities are less known. This is particularly true for the Southeastern United States, which is greatly investigated and elected a hotspot of biodiversity for larger species but very little is known about the meiofauna. The purpose of this research is to reveal the biodiversity of meiofauna from the Tennessee River and test for potential correlations with anthropogenic activities. As a proxy for pollution, dissolved and suspended solids were considered in this study. The research hypothesis is that meiofaunal biodiversity would be affected by possible changes of dissolved and suspended solids in the water column. Possible mechanisms causing biodiversity shifts could be ascribed to osmotic stresses of animals to cope with variation in dissolved solids or, more indirectly, because different sunlight penetration caused by suspended solids would affect primary production. To test the hypothesis, water samples were collected from nine stations located along the Tennessee River in Hamilton County. Each station was visited three times, and, during each visit, environmental parameters (including dissolved and suspended solids) were measured. Meiofauna biodiversity (estimated as richness, community composition, and phylogenetic diversity) was revealed using a metagenomic approach. Statistical analyses were applied to test for possible correlations between the biodiversity estimates and the measured environmental parameters. Results show a high biodiversity of meiofauna with more than 200 amplicon sequence variants distributed across 10 metazoan phyla. Environmental conditions are highly variable among stations and statistical analyses show that while both dissolved solids (TDS) and turbidity (suspended solids, NTU) did not significantly affect meiofauna biodiversity in the collected samples, various other water and sediment metrics were found to be significant predictors of meiofauna biodiversity. In conclusion, the results of this project not only reveal for the first time the meiofauna biodiversity from the Tennessee River, but also suggest that meiofauna could be used as a bioindicator for several anthropogenic activities in freshwater ecosystems.
When The Goal Is To Be Less Stressed: A Naturalistic Investigation Of Academic And Self-Care Goal Completion, Stephanie Wells
When The Goal Is To Be Less Stressed: A Naturalistic Investigation Of Academic And Self-Care Goal Completion, Stephanie Wells
UTC Spring Research and Arts Conference
The demands of college have come to be synonymous with stress for many students, with stress generally being related to academic success (Fraizer et al., 2019; Mirsa & Castillo, 2004). The current global pandemic and associated instructional shifts has provided an additional source of stress for students (Elasem et al., 2020; Pan, 2020). This stress can make it more challenging for students to meet academic goals (Carver & Scheier, 1990; Ferrari & Scher, 2000) and can inhibit engagement in self-care behaviors (Ingram et al., 2020). Some evidence suggests that not all students react to stress the same way, (Larson et …

Defensive Publications Series
The output of a command-line interface (CLI) is typically unstructured text. When such CLI output is piped to an assistive technology such as a screen-reader, the text is vocalized in a character-by-character manner. The result is often a vocalization that includes irrelevant or repetitive content; vocalization of content in a confusing order; vocalization of tabular or graph-based content in a non-contextual manner; etc. This disclosure describes techniques to provide a structured-data endpoint on a CLI and to enable a screen-reader to interface with and vocalize such structured data via a standard, web-based client. The described techniques make command-line tooling more …

Automatic Adjustment Of Wireless Access Point Settings Based On Client-Side Rf Measurements, N/A
Defensive Publications Series
In settings where multiple access points (APs) provide WiFi coverage, the radio frequency (RF) environment experienced by a client device is non-stationary due to various factors such as the emergence and disappearance of hotspots; spectrally uncoordinated APs; the number of clients; the sensitivity of client devices to noise; the mutual distances between clients, RF noise sources, and metallic structures; etc. Since the RF environment experienced by a client device is materially different from that experienced by an AP, attempting to optimize network parameters based on measurements at the AP frequently fails or further degrades WiFi service. This disclosure describes techniques …

Nuestra Fuerza: Understanding The Resilience Of Latinx, First-Generation Students From Single-Parent Families, Alejandra Gonzalez-Zuniga
M.A. in Higher Education Leadership: Action Research Projects
This study explored resilience among Latinx, first-generation students at the University of San Diego who are products of single-parent families. Being a product of a single-parent household while holding these other identities affects students in a variety of ways throughout their educational journey. Even when controlling for economic and racial differences of the family, students from two-parent families outperform students from one-parent families across a plethora of measures (Barajas, 2011). Despite having extra challenges, some of these students have learned to be quite resilient to achieve their goals and educational aspirations. This study aimed to answer the following questions: (1) …

Walk The Talk: Value Congruence For Social Change In Panhellenic Sororities, Anjelica Cespedes
M.A. in Higher Education Leadership: Action Research Projects
As a result of the ongoing wave of civil unrest in the United States, many university organizations have re-evaluated their current structures and policies to increase emphasis on social justice principles. In particular, the leaders of the University of San Diego Panhellenic Council have verbally expressed an interest in creating a more socially just Panhellenic experience. However, feedback from community members via anonymous reports and social media posts, coupled with observations of the Council reveal leadership has yet to take tangible and sustained action. This project investigated the value congruence of USD Panhellenic leadership to better understand the process between …

Nurses In New Mexico: Their Awareness Of Safe Harbor As Reflected In A Survey During A Time Of Covid-19, Ashley R. Gonzales
Doctor of Nursing Practice Scholarly Projects
The healthcare industry is highly regulated to ensure patients receive safe, high-quality, patient-centered care. Even with these regulations, patient outcomes remain poor, given the high expenditure and percentage of the gross domestic product that healthcare comprises in the United States. Nurses make up the largest proportion of the healthcare field and are often overlooked when it comes to policies to ensure their practice remains safe and licenses protected. Nurses are the eyes and ears of their board-certified providers and detect subtle changes in a patient’s condition. However, such attention to detail can be executed only when the nurses can care …

“Green” Marketing In The Apparel Industry: The Spectrum Of Veracity, Stephanie R. Keane
Honors Theses in Science, Technology, and Society
Apparel companies’ propensity for manipulation in their marketing of environmental initiatives contributes to immense environmental pollution from petrochemical textile material production. Public scrutiny pressures these businesses to adopt “green” initiatives to avoid losing devoted consumers. In some cases, these initiatives disguise the real operations of a company or claim benignity for the company when this is not the reality. Previous business ethics research analyzed the emergence of “greenwashing” in corporations and thus concluded that corporations market themselves as eco-friendly to portray commodification as sustainable. In the form of case studies, this paper scrutinizes four companies: Zara, Patagonia, Lululemon, and Pact. …

Characterization Of A Helicobacter Pylori Small Rna By Rt-Pcr, Roxanne Mcpeck, Andrea Castillo
Characterization Of A Helicobacter Pylori Small Rna By Rt-Pcr, Roxanne Mcpeck, Andrea Castillo
2022 Symposium
Helicobacter pylori, a bacterial gastric pathogen infecting approximately 50% of the human population, produces gastritis, ulcers, and gastric cancers. Colonizing the inhospitable and fluctuating environment in the stomach requires tight genetic control. However, H. pylori lacks many genetic regulatory elements present in other bacteria to control gene expression. Instead, over 200 small RNAs (sRNAs; noncoding RNAs shorter than 300 nucleotides) have been found in this bacterium, but few have been fully characterized. Of those, many are antisense to virulence genes. Characterizing these sRNAs is important in understanding the mechanisms of molecular genetics and potentially supporting medical management of this …
