101 Clark, CalliStudying hypothetical electromagnetic earthquake precursors using a global finite-difference time-domain modelElectromagnetic (EM) precursors may be detectable by satellites and ground-based stations before large earthquakes strike and destroy entire cities. However, earthquakes are near impossible to predict as the physics of earthquake precursors is still poorly understood. This paper reports a global...earthquake prediction - Research; Seismology - Research; Earthquake hazard analysis; Earthquake precursors; Electromagnetic signals; Ionospheric physics; Finite-difference time-domain model2016-04
102 Javdan, ShwanTargeted HPMA copolymer-gemcitabine conjugates for the treatment of ovarian carcinomaEach year in the United States, over 14,000 women die from ovarian cancer. Anthracyclines-a class of chemotherapeutics-have long been the primary treatment for this and many other cancers, yet they often leave patients with cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and a number of other adverse effects. Polym...Ovaries -- Cancer -- Treatment; Polymeric drug delivery systems; Polymer-drug conjugates; pHPMA2015-12
103 Lusted, KitselTemperature dependence of leptospirillum ferriphilum during biooxidation of pyriteRare earth elements have properties that make them useful in advanced electronics, magnets, and batteries. However, they are difficult to isolate from their constituent elements, which results in an environmentally costly operation to refine them. An environmentally friendly alternative extraction m...2023
104 Johnson, RhiannonThermal modulation of the semicircular canal afferent response in the oyster toadfish, opsanus tauCurrent cochlear implant devices provide limited hearing ability to the deaf through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Recent studies have shown that pulsed infrared (IR) radiation can also be used to stimulate the inner ear neurons and has the potential to be used in prostheses to help ...Biomedical Engineering2012-05
105 Traction estimation and control for mobil robots using wheel slip velocityMobile robots are used to venture through types of environments, at low wheel speeds, where wheel slip is a threat. Wheel slip is a hazard to mobile robots in that it introduces error in dead reckoning measurement and in some instances causes the robot to halt its forward progress. To compensate ...Robots; Motion;Traction2008-12
106 Wang, Karissa M.Transcription factor NFATc1's signaling pathway and role in cardiomyocyte functionAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia. It affects as many as 6.1 million people in the United States and increases their risk of stroke by 4-5 times. AF is evidently a very serious condition, but the scientific community does not yet fully understand its underlying mechani...2020
107 Sunkaraneni, TarunTransformer-Based Observers in PsychotherapyMotivational Interviewing is a style of psychotherapy which has shown success as a method for treating addiction and substance abuse problems. In recent years, Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques have shown promising results in assisting Motivational Interviewing (MI) training and advancing...2020
108 Schoensee, KohlU of U Fsae Aero Package CFD Optimization & Structural FEAI would like to thank my older brother, Luke Schoensee, for pushing me to develop Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models with ANSYS that are comparable to those developed by the top Formula SAE teams. I am grateful for the countless hours on the phone with Luke where he helped explain the problem...2019
109 Wankier, Zakary S.Use of computer tomography imaging to observe increased distal-end cortical bone around a percutaneous osseointegrated implantOsseointegration (OI) is being used for the direct skeletal attachment of prosthetic limbs using an intramedullary stem that extends percutaneously from the subject's residual limb. For this technology to be successful, bone ingrowth and remodeling around the implant must occur. Physicians need an e...2022
110 Delacenserie, JessicaUtilizing classroom technology to strengthen elementary educationThere is a disconnect in the current education system where there is an abundance of technology accessible to students but it is not being used in a way that enhances their education. The majority of software currently used in primary schools simply transfers books, homework assignments, etc. to mob...Education, Elementary; Computer-assisted instruction; Education - Effect of technological innovations on2016-05
111 Tiwari, SarthakUtilizing light scattering spectroscopy and machine learning to differentiate heterogenous tissue samplesCurrent biopsy approaches either lack depth penetration or real-time analysis. Light scattering spectroscopy (LSS) aims to address these issues, and our goal is to investigate the use of LSS for identifying cardiac conduction tissues. LSS data were collected from donor tissue samples and created a 3...2023
112 Davidson, OliviaUtilizing synthetic biology to improve platelet transfusion outcomesPlatelets are essential to blood clotting. Due to a high risk of bacterial infection, donor platelets have short shelf -lives. As a result, being able to maintain a constant supply of platelets in vitro would be clinically valuable. This could be accomplished by using synthetic biology to guide stem...Blood platelets - Transfusion - Research; Stem cells - Therapeutic use; Synthetic biology; Hematopoietic stem cells; Erthropoientin2016-05
113 Palmieri, NikoleValidation of a nonlinear optimization algorithm for reconstruction of diffused imagesLiving tissue is a diffusive light-scattering medium, preventing traditional fluorescence microscopy from being used as a diagnostic imaging modality. To determine microscopy from being used as a diagnostic imaging modality. To determine whether the nonlinear optimization algorithm developed for C...Diagnostic imaging; Mathematical optimization; Image processing; Diffusion distance; Computational Cannula Microscopy; Nonlinear optimization; MATLAB2016-04
114 Clark, TylerVideo game development during a pandemic: a student's perspectiveThis paper seeks to go over a student's journey of video game development during the Covid-19 pandemic. It will showcase the unique challenges of working on a project remotely and the development process that was set out by the University of Utah's Entertainment Arts and Engineering Capstone Class. ...2021
