Hanes, Josh T. | A comparison of nuclear thermal rockets with traditional chemical rockets for space transport | The Solar System has multiple destinations that private and governmental space agencies are planning to explore. Missions within the Solar System are both exorbitantly expensive and time intensive projects that involve high risks for the organizations involved. A mission that is currently being... | Nuclear rockets - research; space vehicles - design - research; nuclear thermal rockets; chemical rockets; space transport | 2016-04 |

Simon, Philip C. | A study of the optimized load of a traveling wave thermoacoustic heat engine | Thermal interaction between differentially heated solid material and ambient gas in a resonator can lead to self-sustained oscillations or the transportation of heat in accordance with the thermoacoustic effect, first explained by Lord Rayleigh. In this research the phenomenon is employed in a lo... | Thermoacoustic engine - Research; Energy conservation | 2016-03 |

Renz, Andy | Assessment of exercise-stimulated tissue oxygenation in calf muscle with functional MRI | Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects millions of patients in the USA, and effective diagnosis and management of PAD is a major clinical goal. One promising avenue of research towards the goal is through functional MRI, which provides non-invasive measurement of tissue oxygenation. For a group of ... | Arteries - Diseases - Diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging - Research; Calf muscle; Peripheral arterial disease; MATLAB | 2016-04 |

Christensen, Masen | Cooperative primers: Intersecting spherical model for optimization of linker and gap lengths | Detection of specific sequences of DNA is invaluable for diagnosing the presence of a pathogen, as well as other areas of genetic analysis. A common way of detecting DNA is replicating it millions of times through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and using fluorescent molecules to detect those copies... | Pathogenic microorganisms - Detection; DNA - Research; Polymerase chain reaction - Research; Cooperative primers; Aluminum foam materials; Load frame | 2016-05 |
