In Electroencephalograph (EEG) readings, eye blinks are considered an obstacle to brain-oriented analysis. Blinking causes a distinct disturbance in the time series, allowing one to track when eyes open and close. Many programs aim to filter out these . . .

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill introduced massive amounts of oil into Louisiana saltmarsh ecosystems. The main toxic component of DWH oil are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAH metabolites react with molecular oxygen to create reactiv . . .

Automating home appliances is a process of making mundane, dull tasks, such as turning on and off light bulbs, or opening and closing blinds more interesting and interactive, as well as convenient. In doing this project, the purpose is to grow as engi . . .

Following the success of the Voyager missions launched in the late 1970s to explore the outer regions of our solar system, there has been an increased amount of interest to design more missions to travel beyond our planetary system in hopes of someday . . .

The purpose of the project is to determine whether it is possible to design a nozzle that takes compressed air at 60 psi with entrained molten aluminum particles and outlets the flow to atmospheric air at subsonic velocity with an organized distributi . . .

The world has seen a rapid development in the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) technology due to the advantages they offer over conventional manned aircraft. They are simpler and cheaper than manned aircraft, and pose no threat to human operators. Incre . . .

This project is a S-curve motion controller which implements a second-degree S-curve acceleration algorithm. The motion controller can be used to control various types of systems including motors, laser cutters, and other technologies. The algorithm's . . .

Hyperthermia from high environmental conditions or from illness, can result in animal death. Wool has insulatory properties that can interfere with heat loss. Sheep that have been shorn (with shorter wool coats) may have an easier time maintaining iso . . .

The hospitality industry has been growing dramatically throughout the past decades, which made it become one of the most popular subjects nowadays. Among many diversified hospitality segments, hotels are offering different kinds of appealing promotion . . .

Hair whorls (trichoglyphs) have long been correlated with trends in animals' behavior, temperament, response to stimulus, and preferred laterality. Recent studies in these areas have lent some scientific backing to horseman's legends, but relatively l . . .

Accelerometers are commercially available in devices that are used to quantify human and pet activity. One such tri-axial accelerometer that is marketed to dog-lovers who wish to quantify their pet activity levels is called the FitBark2. It is a small . . .

Co-electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and synthetic black iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles was performed to prepare polymer composite nanofibers. The polymer composite nanofibers were heat treated at 250oC in the air to oxidize the PAN first. . . .

Crude oil is a severe environmental problem because of its high organic content, antimicrobial and phytotoxic phenol compounds, and the difficulty of cleaning and containing spills. The goal of this experiment was to determine if three common, edible . . .

Throughout the United States, college campuses have experienced an increase of student parent attendants; nevertheless, often these students go unnoticed (Adam 2014). It is important to consider, investigate, and recognize the student parent experienc . . .

It is important to understand and advance the flow in order to lower any issues with the production and or transportation of powders. In this research the effects of surface modifications on the properties of cohesion, bulk density, and specific charg . . .

Processes capable of transforming biomass into renewable substitutes for petrochemicals are in high demand. Such a process must be cost efficient, eco-friendly, and use an abundant resource. The deoxydehydration (DODH) reaction was chosen because it i . . .

As proficient as image classifiers have become, they still fail to recognize images in the way that we might hope. They can detect airplanes accurately, but the sky plays an important role in that detection. They can detect cars, but are likely to use . . .

Trazodone hydrochloride (TZN) is a medication typically prescribed to humans to treat for depression. Due to rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) delicate anatomy and physiology, prescribing medication can be a challenge. In a previous study, it was found . . .
