Magnetohydrodynamics modeling in Python : simulating magnetic fluids.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2015)The purpose of this work is to present a gentle first introduction to numerical magnetohydrodynamics at the advanced undergraduate level. We first present the necessary background physics, building up the magnetohydrodynamics ... -
Making Fante one of the boys (and girls) : the cyclical structure of Ask the dust and how it argues for John Fante's acceptance into the American literary canon.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2015)This thesis offers a rereading of John Fante’s most read novel, Ask the Dust (1939) by recognizing, tracing and analyzing the work as having a cyclical narrative structure. Working primarily in opposition to previous Fante ... -

Managing migrantophobia: human security and Central Asian migration to the Russian Federation
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2013-06-06)The focus of this thesis is the Central Asian region's experience with migration to the Russian Federation. In particular, the analysis features three Central Asian republics: Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. -
Mathematics self-efficacy in introductory physics.
(Wheaton College; Norton, Mass., 2011-11-28)Since the 1960’s self-efficacy has been a topic of much research within the fields of psychology and education. Defined as peoples’ beliefs about their ability to perform specific tasks, it has been shown to positively ... -
Mating Induced Fos in Forebrain Neurons of Female Mice.
(Wheaton College ; Norton, Mass., 2008)Among researchers there is a widespread assumption that information about the sexual behavior of female rats and mice sex behavior may be interchangeable. During mating in both rats and mice, the male provides the female ... -

Methane dynamics in vernal pools.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2015)Climate change models predict precipitation patterns will shift to periods of long droughts with sparse, high intensity precipitation events in between. It is important to understand how these changes will affect wetlands, ... -
Method development for detecting metals in human nails and hair using an indigo-spiropyran sensor.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2015)The main goal of this study was to design a nitrospiropyran-indigo based sensor for detecting metal concentration in human samples. The dye indigo and its derivatives form a complex with different metal ions such as Cu²⁺ ... -
Method development for the spectrophotometric analysis of arsenic in aqueous media.
(Wheaton College (Norton, Mass.), 2015)The use of trypan blue was explored as a detection and quantification method for As(III). This procedure represents an improvement of the method described by Narayana et al. (2006) by using the shift in absorbance wavelength ... -
