Angled roller mecanum wheel design that exhibits speed reduction
This thesis presents the testing of speed reduction exhibited by custom angle mecanum wheels. A simple trigonometric model is put forth for the speed reduction, along with the kinematic analysis and simulation of a 3-wheeled-vehicle. Then a 150 mecanum wheel is designed and built, along with a …

Emergence of Special Art Exhibits in Shopping Malls in Shanghai
… ventures between shopping malls and special art exhibits in Shanghai. Little research directly addressed this phenomenon from the museum or exhibit perspective. Over the past three years, at least 27 notable art exhibits were installed in shopping malls instead of art museums in Shanghai. …

From Trial to Triumph: Representations of African Americans in Museum Exhibits
<p>In my dissertation, I examine contemporary exhibits about African American history and culture at six museums to explore issues of racial representation, collective identity, and cultural authority. I conduct a systematic two-part investigation of exhibition practices across Black-owned/operated …

"Between Illusion and Reality": Presentations of the Past in Canadian Streetscape Exhibits
… make the settings appear lived-in, streetscape exhibits offered visitors the chance to step back in time and experience history “as it actually was.” Almost twenty years later, in 1989, the new Canadian Museum of Civilization took inspiration from this original streetscape for the design of …

The Contemporary Critique of Ethnographic Exhibits: A Case Study at Discovery Center Springfield
… recent scholarly critique of ethnographic museum exhibits clearly calls for greater incorporation of four main principles: reflexivity, multivocality, contextuality, and interactivity. Unfortunately, many if not most current exhibits on culture do not incorporate all or any of these principles. …

Developing Heuristic Evaluation Methods for Large Screen Information Exhibits Based on Critical Parameters
Evaluation is the key to effective interface design. It becomes even more important when the interfaces are for cutting edge technology, in application areas that are new and with little prior design knowledge. Knowing how to evaluate new interfaces can decrease development effort and increase the …

A Paradigm Shift in African Cultural Exhibits at the National Museum of Natural History
As the National Museum, the Smithsonian Institution echoes American identity and promotes U.S. values. In a 1999 article, From Dioramas to Dialogics: A Century of Exhibiting African at the Smithsonian, anthropology curator, Mary Jo Arnoldi stated that the 1967 Cultures of Africa exhibit in the …

Beating the Odds: A Case Study of Protective Factors of a Resilient Child Who Exhibits Well-Developed Prosocial Behavior
This thesis examines protective factors of a resilient child who achieved well-developed prosocial behavior. A case study design was used to study protective factors by developing an in-depth picture of resilience in the child and her family. This study was conducted in a natural classroom setting …

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 exhibits neuroprotective effects in LPS-induced dopaminergic neuronal death in the suabstantia nigra in vivo.
… cells. Based on these results, we found that CAP exhibits the neuroprotective effects through regulating the immune cell phenotypes. The present results suggest that CAP may be beneficial for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as PD that is associated with neuroinflammation via …

A Fragile Native State Structure: An Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator (ARNT) Variant Exhibits Slow Interconversion Kinetics Between two Different Folds
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is a promiscuous basic helix-loop-helix Period/ARNT/Single-minded (bHLH-PAS) protein that controls various biological pathways by forming heterodimeric transcriptional regulator complexes with several other bHLH-PAS proteins via the …

The ultrastructural morphology of Eimeria tenella exhibits striking natural variation and undergoes significant changes during the first few hours of infection
The data generated during this PhD provides novel insights into the biology of Eimeria parasites: protozoan organisms capable of causing enteric disease in a vast array of animals. Working with Eimeria tenella, a clinically and economically significant pathogen of chickens, I have quantified the …

Catechin, a novel root exudate of Centaurea stoebe, exhibits pleiotropic effects on the soil microbial community and individual soil isolates, and undergoes chemical changes with numerous abiotic factors from soil
Allelopathy has been studied for (±)-catechin, a root exudate of spotted knapweed, as a plausible mechanism that facilitates knapweed invasion in North America. Phytotoxic effects are observed in invaded fields as well as greenhouse experiments when employing catechin or growing spotted knapweed, …
