FORMATION AND MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF STRESS ACTIN FILAMENTS IN ADIPOSE-DERIVED STEM CELLS
(2023-12-18)
Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) are a sub-type of stem cell that can be collected and isolated from the adipose tissue. Adipogenesis describes the commitment and differentiation of stem cells, including ADSCs, toward ...
Feasibility Study of Off-The-Shelf Components on a Split-Cycle Motor and ESC Testbed
(2023-12-18)
This project aims to create a testbed for split-cycle flapping wing systems that allows for testing of different motors and ESC protocols to find a suitable set for a flapping wing system. In order for a flapping-wing drone ...
Turbulent Shockwave/Boundary-Layer Interactions Generated by Sharp Swept Fins
(2023-12-08)
The shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction (STBLI) generated by a sharp fin with a 60 deg leading edge sweep mounted above a flat plate at Mach 2.5 was studied numerically. Incipient separation due to this highly swept ...
A RIGID BODY FRAMEWORK FOR MODELING AND SIMULATION OF FORMATION OF AUTONOMOUS AGENTS
(2023-12-13)
Formation motion, wherein multiple agents operate within close proximity while maintaining precise relative positions and coordinated movements has a significant impact in the realm of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS). Formation ...
EVALUATION OF VERTICAL AND LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY OF RECYCLED PLASTIC PIN
(2023-12-13)
RPPs have been in use as a sustainable and effective technique to stabilize and reinforce weak ground for geotechnical purposes. Application of RPP in stabilization of slopes and improvement of load carrying capacity of ...
Enhancing Biomedical Imaging with AI: Compression, Prediction, and Multi-Modal Integration for Clinical Advancement
(2023-12-15)
This dissertation delves into the enhancement of biomedical image analysis through the deployment of artificial intelligence methodologies, focusing on the transition from theoretical innovation to practical clinical ...
A Multi-Channel Search for Signatures of eV2-Scale Sterile Neutrinos in IceCube
(2023-12-13)
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer-scale neutrino observatory built using a gigaton of instrumented ice near the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica; it measures the Cherenkov light emitted ...
THE EFFECTS OF POLOXAMER 188 ON WOUND CLOSURE IN A MOUSE BRAIN ENDOTHELIUM MODEL
(2023-12-11)
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a crucial role in maintaining central nervous system homeostasis and, if structurally and functionally compromised, can lead to severe neurological consequences. This thesis explores the ...
SPATIALLY RESOLVED ELASTIC MODULUS OF MAGNESIUM SILICATE HYDRATE: A CEMENTITIOUS MATERIAL
(2023-12-14)
Magnesium-based cements such as magnesium silicate hydrate (MSH) have drawn interest as an environmentally friendly substitute for ordinary Portland cement because of their potential for reduced carbon footprint. The precise ...
THE CHILDREN’S FINAL GIRL: EXPLORING FEMINISM, HORROR, AND ADOLESCENCE IN CORALINE, THE LAST CUENTISTA, AND A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS
(2023-12-13)
The uses of femininity throughout the horror genre have been widely studied in order to identify the role of the woman within these works. This thesis works to apply Carol Clover’s trope of the Final Girl to contemporary ...
