." 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...

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...

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

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

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 retroviral structural protein, Gag, is required for the assembly of infectious virus particles within a cell. To better understand how the viral assembly process occurs, it is important to understand the cellular ...
