Item Cognitive development's effects on development of loyalty in sports fans(2013-12) Reifurth, Katherine Rose Nakamoto; Todd, JanSport fans develop strong loyalties to their favorite teams, but there has been little research conducted on when this loyalty is formed. Previous research suggests that loyalty can form at very young ages, but it is difficult to classify young children based on age due to their rapid development over short periods of time. This is why it is necessary to use cognitive development stages to classify groups of young subjects in order to accurately group their predictive actions and abilities. Very little research has been done on sport loyalty development, especially using cognitive development as a categorizing tool. It is this report’s suggestion that more research must be done on this subject to truly understand the implications of this measurement tool and its effects on the development of loyalty.Item Re-design of a drive system for a low-speed wind tunnel(Texas Tech University, 1998-05) Walker, Todd D.The Thermal Systems Lab at the Texas Tech University Mechanical Engineering Department has an instructional wind tunnel. An improvement was made to the drive system of the tunnel so that the average test section velocity would increase. This involved the design and manufacture of a 2 ft. diameter fan as well as some modifications to the tunnel. The results were a 21% increase in the efficiency of the drive system and a 19 mph increase in the test section velocity.
