Boiling Heat Transfer on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Nathan Tulett and Dr. Daniel Maynes, Department of Mechanical Engineering Background In the last few years a great deal of attention has been given to superhydrophobic surfaces and their impact on drag reduction in fluid flow dynamics. Such surfaces are now employed as self-cleaning substrates and it is expected that their use in the coming […]
Cloud Security for Medical Imaging
Craig Treasure and Dr. Chia-Chi Teng, School of Technology Current medical imaging technology exists in the form of large and expensive systems in hospitals inside the network firewalls. Data from these machines is only transmitted on a hospital’s computer network to maintain the privacy of patient’s personal information and images. These expensive machines require high […]
Spinning Objects in a Shallow Bath: Eggs in Milk
Kenneth Langley and Dr. Tadd Truscott, Department of Mechanical Engineering Introduction If an egg spinning on a counter-top passes through a shallow pool of milk, a thin film of milk will be drawn up the sides of the egg and sprayed on the counter-top. This phenomenon is not limited to eggs or milk. In fact, […]
Rebound Suppression of a Partially Filled Sphere
Robert Klaus and Dr. Tadd Truscott, Department of Mechanical Engineering Sloshing is a very common phenomenon that we encounter everyday. Anytime that a liquid is enclosed within a moving container there exists the potential for sloshing. In some cases, such as trucks & ships, the sloshing of the fluid can produce undesired vehicle motion and […]
Forked Shaped Rebound Droplet for Impingement on Anisotropic Superhydrophobic Surfaces
David Bilodeau and Dr. Daniel Maynes, Department of Mechanical Engineering Background Many metals rust when exposed to moisture and that rusting can cause the item that is made of that metal to break down. A superhydrophobic surface can repel liquids and keep metals from rusting longer. Superhydrophobic surfaces have existed in nature for a long […]
Effect of Field Cooling on Magnetic Domain Memory in Exchange Coupled Thin Films
Matthew Rytting and Dr. Karine Chesnel, Department of Physics and Astronomy In my project, we proposed to investigate the effect of field cooling on magnetic domain memory in ferromagnetic films which are exchange coupled with antiferromagnetic material. We analyzed this memory using X-ray speckle correlation, and we performed complementary microscopy measurements so as to get […]
Transmission Electron Microscope Imaging of Lipid-body COX Localization
Andrew Broadbent and Dr. Daniel Simmons, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry The laboratory of Dr. Daniel L. Simmons, my mentor, studies the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. Dr. Simmons is one of the world’s foremost authorities on COX, he having discovered one of its two known types, COX-2. The COX enzyme, which exists in many organisms, including humans, is responsible […]
The Impact of Describing Products in Sensorial Ways on Variety- Seeking Behavior
Lidan Xu and Dr. Ryan Elder, Department of Business Management This project is to examine how describing the sensory attributes (vs. non-sensory) of a product impacts variety-seeking behaviors of consumers. It is important to understand when and why consumers seek variety as companies seek to maintain customer loyalty. Prior studies have showed that variety seeking […]
Estimating Pinyon and Juniper Tree Cover Across Utah Using NAIP Imagery
Darrell Roundy and Dr. Steven Petersen, Department of Plant and Wildlife Science Pinyon and juniper (pj) encroachment is an ecological problem in the western United States. As these species expand they replace valuable sagebrush and grassland communities decreasing forage for livestock and wildlife, reducing habitat for multiple sagebrush obligate species and increasing fuel loads that […]
