Designing Simulated Radio Frequency Ultrasound Traces for the Training of Machine Learning Algorithms
Brandt, Naomi (2019-06-24)In the field of ultrasound imaging, it has been theorized that imaging noise, known as speckle, is the product of microscopic scatterers and abnormalities within the imaged tissue. This would result in certain speckling ... -
The effect of oxygen vacancies on proton conduction in 12.5% Al doped BaZrO3
Lin, Shiyun (2020-05-05)Acceptor doped barium zirconate is one of the most promising materials for stationary hydrogen fuel cells due to its high proton conductivity while maintaining thermodynamic stability. Many studies have shown that the ... -
An experimental microfluidic model of periarterial spaces in the glymphatic system
Quirk, Keelin (2020-05-29)In the glymphatic system, cerebrospinal fluid enters through periarterial spaces and removes metabolic waste from the brain’s interstitial spaces. Previous experiments in live mice have found that a peristaltic wave along ... -
The Intersection of Identity and Performing Arts of Black Physicists
Williams, Tamia (2018-06-11)How one negotiates their physics identity is crucial to gaining and maintaining membership in the physics community. However, there is an exclusive culture of physics that has marginalized Black people and leads them to ... -
Mapping a Genetic Mutation involved in Larval Fat Body Remodeling Disruption in Drosophila melanogaster
Tanaka, Honami (2020-06-04)Tissue remodeling plays an important role in the development of many multicellular organisms. It is also a key process in wound healing and tumor metastasis, and studying the control of tissue remodeling could lead to ... -
Optimizing a genetic reporter for RNA-protein interactions: in vivo titration of a promoter binding protein
Wang, Clara (2019-06-27)Gene regulation is an essential process in all domains of life that governs which genes are expressed at a given time to control cell specialization and adaptation to environmental changes. In bacteria, non-coding small ... -
A Predictive Study of Exotic Higgs Decays for the Run 3 of the ATLAS Experiment
Guhit, Jem (2019-06-06)The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland has made an astounding discovery in 2012 when it detected a particle mimicking the properties of the Higgs Boson which causes spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking ... -
The role of Aur-A in Drosophila melanogaster fat body remodeling
Arshinoff, Danielle (2017-06-29)Tissue remodeling is an important process in multicellular organisms that is necessary for processes such as wound healing and tumor metastasis. For remodeling to occur, connective proteins of the extracellular matrix ... -
Variability of the Unresolved X-Ray Background
Post, Elizabeth (2019-02-01)The cosmic x-ray background is diffuse, uniform x-ray radiation originat- ing from outside our galaxy. Over the past several decades since its discovery, much of it has been resolved into discrete sources. However, a ...
