, 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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

Current blood glucose measurement techniques are invasive and uncomfortable. Developing a non-invasive technique will not only alleviate part of the pain involved with current techniques but also cost less, greatly benefiting ...

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 ...

The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate an interferometry system that can be used to visualize the stress concentrations at bolt holes and cracks. Part of the project, is a study of the existing literature ...

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 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 ...

In this project I was given the task of designing a three finger gripper. This gripper was to be mounted on one of the Puma 200 robotic arms that is currently in use in the Electrical and Computer Engineering robotics ...

Classroom Presenter is an open source research project from the University of Washington that allows for a collaboration of resources and information in lectures and meetings by using slides, whiteboards, questions, and voting features. Classroom...

As our culture changes daily with new trends and innovations, it is important to maintain good manners. When students first hear the term etiquette, they usually dismiss the fact that they will someday need to be versed ...

Three experiments are conducted on the Saturnian atmosphere using the Explicit Planetary Isentropic Coordinate (EPIC) numerical model. The first is a control experiment, wherein no water (in any state) or ammonia is accounted ...

To improve our understanding of collisional energy transfer at a gas-liquid interface, we have investigated collisions of carbon dioxide molecules with a simple atomic liquid surface. Our particular focus here is on the ...

Examining all Missouri state House and Senate elections 19982-2006, I find that campaign spending has a minimal impact on the outcome of elections. Using fixed-effects panel data regression, controlling for incumbency, ...

Over the past 30 years, there has been a debate in courts and academia over whether federalism is better protected by judicial or political safeguards. In Garcia v. SAMTA (1985), the Supreme Court ruled that it would not ...
