Detection of Inferior Vena Cava Filters on CT Scans Using an Artificial Intelligence Algorithm
(2022-04)The IVC (inferior vena cava) is a large blood vessel that travels through the abdomen. An IVC filter is a spider-like flexible metal object which is compressed to sit inside of the IVC. IVC filters catch blood clots traveling ... -
Determinants of Rational Tangles and Their Closures
(2017-11-09)Knot theory is a field of topology that studies the embedding of a circle in R3. In various biological processes, strands of DNA can be represented with knots. In these instances it is useful to view DNA strands topologically ... -
Determination of Chemical Composition of Red Lithic Artifacts Using X-Ray Fluorescence
(2011-05)This research project analyzed the geochemistry of pre-contact American Indian artifacts from western Wisconsin using Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). XRF will determine the distinct chemical composition of the ... -
Determination of Cr 3d off resonant angular distribution values
(2007-05-01)The direction of emission of photoelectrons from atoms is characterized by the angular distribtion parameter beta. Measurements of beta over an extended photon energy region can give insight into the dynamics of the ... -
Determination of Trace Metals in Individual Air Particulates Using Transmission Electron Microscopy
(2011-05)Ultramafic rocks, primarily serpentinite, in northern California contain high levels of Cr and Ni, both of which are known carcinogens. Due to weathering and land usage practices, these serpentenites are transported into ... -
Determining a Group from Rational Tangles
(2012-04)The purpose of this study was to determine a subset from the set of rational tangles that will form a group. -
Determining Evolutionary Relationships among Lycopsids Using Spore Wall Ultrastructure.
(2009-04)Lycopsids are recognized as ancient seedless vascular plants that arose during the Early Devonian Period. Lycopsids demonstrate a variety of growth types, existing as both free-sporing herbs and 40 meter high trees that ... -
Determining Ideal Parameters in Object Based Classification for Multiband UAS Imagery
(2018-05)As Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are applied to an ever-increasing array of remote sensing applications, a greater value is being placed on added data analysis including object based classification. Imagery captured using ... -
Determining the Age of the Parasitic Invasive Fly Philornis downsi Using the Fluorescent Pigment Pterin
(2017-02-16)Philornis downsi, an invasive fly in the Galapagos Islands, negatively affects land bird species. Fly eggs in bird nests hatch into parasitic larvae that feed on the blood and flesh of chicks, decreasing fledgling success. ... -
Determining the Effect of Microwave Irradiation on C. albicans.
(2009-01-30)Candida albicansis a fungus which is often found colonized on the skin and in the mouth of many adults. It is the most frequently isolated human fungal pathogen. Dentures are an ideal location for growth of C. albicans. A ... -
Determining the Effect of Triclosan on the Growth of Cancer Cells
(2013-05)Environmental estrogens may be naturally occurring (e.g. phytoestrogens)or man-made (e.g., xenoestrogens). They mimic the effects of estrogen by binding to ERs (estrogen receptor) and modeling similar mechanisms of action. ... -
Determining the Impact a Pseudostuttering Assignment has on Students by Examining Student Reflections
(2022-04)Pseudostuttering is used to promote empathy for people who stutter. Disability simulation is used in other clinical settings in CSD as well as areas outside the profession (e.g., sensory impairments, communication board). ... -
Determining the Presence of a Vernacular Region in the Mississippi Delta.
(2009-07-27)A vernacular region is defned by people's perceptions. This research project examined the Mississippi-Yazoo Delta to analyze vernacular names associated with the Delta. My preliminary hypothesis is that there is a presence ... -
Determining the Radial Location of the X-ray Emitting Zone of Spica
(2010-04)Although it is well known that O and B type stars are X-ray emitters, the machanism driving this process is not entirely understood. Knowing the radial location of the X-ray emission is key to understanding which models ... -

Determining the relationship between intrusive and volcanic rocks at the Lynne Zn- Cu-Pb Deposit, Oneida Co. Wisconsin
(2021-04)The purpose of this research is to determine the temporal relationship between the intrusions and the surrounding volcanic rocks hosting the Lynne Zn-Cu-Pb deposit in Oneida County, WI. Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) ... -
Determining the Roles of the BTB Genes At2g04740, At4g08455, At1g04390, At2g30600 in Arabidopsis thaliana Growth and Development.
(2009-07-27)In plants as well as all living organisms the selective degradation of cellular proteins is important for growth and development. This degradation occurs when a cell no longer has a need for an individual protein, either ... -
Determining Wages : The Changing Role of Education
(2014-04)The purpose of this study was to take a detailed look at the determinants of wages in the U.S. and how they have changed over the last 40 years, especially focusing on the factors of education level, gender, and race. -
Detrital Zircon Evidence Requires Revision of Belt Stratigraphy in Southwest Montana.
