Zircon from Swift Creek stage eruptions records the assembly and evolution of an intrusive magmatic complex beneath Mount St. Helens
(2009-12-08)
This study employs combined U-Th radiometric age and trace element analyses of zircon from rocks of the Swift Creek stage (16 to 10 ka) of Mount St. Helens in order to obtain time-temperature-composition records of the ...
A novel ratiometric method for determining the consequences of cell-size features in a concentration gradient generator
(2009-12-08)
We present a multi-dye ratiometric method for the correction of optical artifacts and unequal illumination encountered by researchers that utilize complex microfluidic systems. Using a novel chemotaxis system that provides ...
Murine CENP-F regulates microtubule network function and is essential in heart development
(2009-12-07)
This project characterizes CENP-F protein function at a cellular and organ level. First, I outline our plan used to identify novel binding partners. The first binding partner I describe is syntaxin 4 and the interaction ...
Psychophysiological Analysis of Affective States in Human-Computer Interaction for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(2009-12-10)
This dissertation addresses the problem of how to make technology-based intervention tools for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) affect-sensitive. Two computer-based cognitive tasks are designed to elicit the ...
A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Self-Assembly of Human Skin Lipids
(2009-12-09)
This thesis details the development and testing of coarse-grained models for the key lipids found in the outmost layer of human skin, the straum corneum. Specifically, the development and optimization of coarse-grained ...
Mobile Air Quality Monitoring and Web-Based Visualization
(2009-12-10)
This thesis presents the framework and implementation of a mobile air quality monitoring network, with an in-depth discussion of several new innovative techniques for web-based visualization. These techniques allow typical ...
Detection of Malicious Hardware in ASICs and FPGAs
(2009-12-10)
Detecting malicious modifications to a circuit is a daunting task, regardless of the medium. In a fabricated circuit, most methods of detecting hardware Trojans rely on small changes in side-channel measurements, which ...
Neural coding and timing of visual target selection in the frontal eye field
(2009-12-03)
How does the brain select visual targets for eye movements? We recorded neural activity while macaques performed visual search in which they were trained to move their eyes to a target stimulus among an array of distractor ...
Single-Event Effects in Digital CMOS Circuits Operating at Ultra-Low Power
(2009-12-21)
With decreasing feature sizes, transistors are being added to ICs in consistently greater numbers, which is leading to dramatic increases in power consumption. Changing process parameters and redesigning circuits are ...
