Fall 2019
In this thesis, I describe the development and demonstration of a screening platform for the discovery of ice-nucleators. Ice nucleating agents (INAs) have been used to control the temperature of ice nucleation within a narrow range at high temperature. They play an important role in atmospheric...

Modular Design and Directed Evolution for the Development of Genetically Encodable Fluorescent Sensors
DownloadSpring 2019
The development of genetically encodable sensors for optical imaging has revolutionized the way researchers investigate cellular phenomena. Illuminating the molecular dynamics of the cell has become nearly routine with countless improvements in sensor design and directed evolution efforts to...

Thorlakson, Jessica, Kung, Janice
As library sessions are typically one-shot sessions with limited time, it is difficult to gauge students’ comprehension of the subject matter. Since opportunities for post-session assessment is limited, there is a need to effectively evaluate students’ learning in class. Kahoot, an open-source,...

Using Computer Simulated Science Laboratories: A Test of Pre-Laboratory Activities with the Learning Error and Formative Feedback Model
DownloadSpring 2017
The use of computer simulated science laboratories (CSSL) to assess science knowledge and skills has become popular in recent years (Bennett, Persky, Weiss, & Jenkins, 2007; PhET, 2014). These digital environments are often superior to face-to-face environments in which traditional science...

Instrumenting and Validating a Vibrotactile Device to Assess and Rehabilitate Dynamic Seated Balance
DownloadFall 2017
Tools that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular impairments. On the one hand, current assessment tools quantify changes in the...

Environmental ecosystems are complex. Evaluating only one aspect of an ecosystem, does not provide a true measure of its impact. The same is true for information literacy. To evaluate information literacy goals only in a class setting, without taking into account other factors, does not provide...

Assessment Findings Associated with Partial Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears: A Secondary Analysis
DownloadSpring 2016
Background: Shoulder pain is a common problem treated by physicians and physical therapists. A large number of these patients have injury to the rotator cuff. There is a range of severity in rotator cuff disease, which likely includes a high proportion of partial thickness tears (PTT). This...

Choosing versus receiving feedback: The impact of feedback valence on learning in an assessment game
Choosing versus receiving feedback: The impact of feedback valence on learning in an assessment game
2016
Studies examining feedback in educational settings have largely focused on feedback that is received, rather than chosen, by students. This study investigates whether adult participants learn more from choosing rather than receiving feedback from virtual characters in a digital poster design...
