  • Vit, Aaron (2021-05-07)
    The Ceramic Insulated Droid project is a design project sponsored by the Alfred University Mechanical Engineering department. This project’s goal is to create a fireproof robot which can enter burning buildings, survey for ...
  • Argersinger, Haley E. (2016-05-03)
    Natural organic matter (NOM), a diverse collection of organic chemical entities derived from the natural decay of biomass in the environment, is ubiquitous in most ecosystems. NOM is known to develop strong interactions ...
  • Ferguson, Brennan (2015-05-05)
    Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of bio-derived molecules often intimately associated with inorganic minerals in surface soils, colloids and sediments, and some sedimentary rock types such as shale. The ...
  • Schweitzer, Aliza (2018-05-08)
    The primary theme of my work is how the interaction between gender identity and expression can be seamless or contradictory. I explore craft, design, identity, and the body through my work in clay. There are particular ...
  • Gray, Danny (2016-05-09)
    This thesis will elaborate on the function of clowns and their variety of iterations throughout history, primarily addressing the development of the clown from a Western lens. That being said, clowns exist in nearly every ...
  • Voss, Maria Giovanna (2022-05)
    Gadolinium doped nanocrystalline cerium dioxide (GDC) powder samples were effectively densified using the developing process known as “cold sintering” with adjustments to dwell time investigated. Ceria was chosen due to ...
  • Byrwa, Kendra (2019-05-10)
    Specialized feeds are produced for certain groups of horses such a seniors, reproducing mares and foals, active athletes, ponies, and easy-to maintain horses. These feeds have additives such as electrolytes and minerals, ...
  • Eberts, Elizabeth A. (2017-12-14)
    It is well accepted that color sensitivity is greater in the fovea than the periphery. Further support for this has been found through research investigating thresholds in which hues have higher thresholds in the periphery. ...
  • Clark, Elizabeth (2015-05-08)
    For this experiment, I batched glass compositions and tested them to reveal the optimal composition of ultraviolet fluorescent glass. Batching glass is similar to baking cookies. I used System 96 as the base glass composition; ...
  • Brewer, Thomas (2022-05-02)
    The refractory high entropy alloy that consists of refractory and oxidation-resistant elements is a rather new material that has shown excellent resistance to oxidation at both high temperatures and long periods of time. ...
  • Flis, Rebecca A. (2014-05-13)
    Auguste Rodin once said, "the artist must create a spark before he can make a fire and before art is born, the artist must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation." Using Rodin's metaphor, my spark is the ...
  • Kotze, Samantha J.; Fowler, Ryan M. (2020-05)
    Understanding the conditions that contribute to powder flow are essential to anticipate the segregation of particles in flow situations. Although various methods are used to quantify powder flow and powder fill in industry, ...
  • Turnquist, Katherine (2015-05-11)
    For this project I created an environment to submerge the viewer within a work of art. This gives the sense that the art is perhaps as alive as the viewer, thus creating the possibility for a personal experience or ...
  • Dunham, Grace (2022-12)
    Ancient sherds and samples collected from Gangjin and Gimjae celadons (Koryŏ period, 918-1392 CE) were previously analyzed to determine the firing conditions and to evaluate the body and glaze chemistry. Those results show ...
  • Poklop, Natalie (2022-05-06)
    Through the past four years, ceramics has gone from a practice to ease my mind to a practice that activates it. I have begun to question what motivations drive me to do ceramics and what need it fulfills in my life. I have ...
  • Pfohl, Russell A. (2013-05)
    The practice of glazing ceramics is almost as ancient as ceramics themselves. Glazes are characterized by there strong colors, textures, and glass like appearance. Until recently (2006) it was thought that the effects of ...
  • Stadtmueller, Shane M. (2013-05)
    The aim of this study was to establish a correlation between the lower body mechanics expressed during the first steps of the block start and those seen during several compound lower body strength exercises. The subject ...
