." Given that I am emphasizing in Design/Tech in Theatre, I also designed the scenery and costumes, with the intention of the production being performed at the MU Corner Playhouse. After researching the different aspects of this subject, my project...

, making Latin more widely available could improve the test scores and achievement of many students....

surfaces: nanodiamond, ultradispersed diamond and adamantane. Our goal is to immobilize the antibodies and bacterial (bio-molecules) binding on the plasma modified diamond surfaces to increase their efficacy as potential biosensors by researching...

democratic election. Since then, the common agreement among the discipline has reported that the Brazilian case is not an anomaly, and that investors in emerging market countries do react negatively during election cycles. However, this research suggests...

, Luther felt that the temptation and lust for sex was the greater sin and consequently encouraged laxer attitudes toward sex within marriage in his preaching. My research shows that there were subtle but important differences in his academic writing...

The expenditure of direct-to-consumer (DTC) prescription drug advertising has more than quadrupled since 1996 reaching $4.2 billion in 2005. This study examines how emotional tone and visual complexity affect recognition ...

As part of an initiative to research and develop higher-values uses for agricultural by-products, this project is on producing activated carbon from corn cobs. This carbon is superior to any that is commercially available because of the increased...

be efficiently and cleanly produced with limited waste? This is a question this research aims to answer; by finding methods of converting glycerol, the waste byproduct of biodiesel production, into chemicals that benefit society and no longer make biodiesel a...

It is the mission of my research to investigate the heat transfer performance of a convective boiler working in two-phase on the microscale. The information obtained from this research will eventually be used in conjunction with data corresponding...

Demand for hip replacement surgery is rising with the increasing age of the human population. The effects of the cementless interference fit acetabular cups are not fully understood, and as such is the focus of the present research. The inserted cup...

the applied field, rate of rise and gas pressure of the switch along with the laser power, focused intensity, and Rayleigh range have been examined to determine their relation to jitter and runtime. The end goal of research is to understand the factors...

The effects of environmental degradation on polymer matrix composites is an area of concern for researchers and engineers, as these materials are subjected to high stress environments. As a result of this, a need for nondestructive evaluation...

in the International Building Code to determine site classification. In many cases, surface wave measurements are performed at sites where complicating conditions exist, such as velocity inversions or embedded stiff layers. The purpose of this research...

Current dental composites consist of a polymer resin and micro-sized glass particles which are used as a filler material. These particles help reinforce the composite during the compressive loads created by the chewing ...

The project focuses on the design and testing of straight heat pipes. During the duration of the project three different styles of heat pipe manufacturing were developed. The first style consisted of flattening the pipe ...

The project will develop health monitoring technologies for civil structures. Specifically, precision tiltmeters will be used to monitor the long term behavior of the columns. A wireless data acquisition system will be ...

The goal of the project proposed by Marlow Industries, Inc. is to use previously developed analytic models to create thermoelectric (TE) based models for waste heat recovery to power a wireless sensor. The source of the ...
