This paper investigates the history of American, British, and German war cemeteries of the First and Second World War. It compares and contrasts both the purposes of these cemeteries and the physical construction. This includes the design, architecture, planning, and philosophy behind each country\u2019s cemeteries. Also discussed is each country\u2019s war cemetery organization including its origins, goals, and practices. Ultimately, it is determined that while these cemeteries fulfill the same purpose, they were built for distinct reasons: the Allied cemeteries celebrated the sacrifices made for a noble cause while the German cemeteries emphasized the camaraderie between servicemen and universal human suffering. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nBest Undergraduate Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n “One Belt and One Road Right Through Ethiopia?” Thomas Kyte, Class of 2022, Political Science Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n Ethiopia is currently playing an important role in the PRC\u2019s One Belt One Road Initiative that makes it not only critical for the future of mainland China but also puts their own future in a unique position as well. Ethiopia\u2019s central location in the Horn of Africa, authoritarian regime, and large reserves of cheap fossil fuels have made them subject to billions of dollars\u2019 worth of predatory loans from the PRC the affect of which is far reaching beyond their borders. Technology diffusion and infrastructure development has the potential to greatly change Ethiopia for the better or worse depending on how they decide to move forward.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nBest Graduate Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n “Engaged Containment: A Viable Solution to the North Korea Problem,” Frank Hoffman, Graduate Student, International Politics and Military Affairs Program.<\/strong><\/summary>\n Despite occupying less landmass than most American states, North Korea has remained a fixture of United States foreign policy. The U.S. has shifted between two postures to achieve its foreign policy aims toward the nation. The policy of engagement seeks diplomatic engagement with the hermit kingdom, whereas the policy of containment seeks to trigger a Soviet style collapse through isolating the nation. This work will examine the efficacy of both policies and present a fusion of these postures: \u201cEngaged Containment\u201d as a viable approach for the United States to accomplish its foreign policy goals toward North Korea.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n “Electric Car Battery Development and Analysis,” Dylan R. Wood, Class of 2023, Mechanical Engineering Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n The purpose of this report is to identify materials and design considerations for electric car battery packs, noting impacts on affordability and energy efficiencies. This report recommends battery cathode material and cell placement to make the electric vehicle perform most efficiently while minimizing environmental impact. The properties analyzed to construct an electric battery to have more efficiency while minimizing environmental impact. The material properties analyzed to construct an electric battery to have more efficiency in power, cost, safety, and life span. This report further compared an electric car to a gasoline car base on delivering acceleration while remaining energy efficient. Finally, this report examined the composition of the battery to address environmental concerns. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n “Cleopatra: The Propagated Villain of Rome,” Hannah Dion, Class of 2022, Biology Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n Though she may be Egyptian, Cleopatra\u2019s story is entangled within the foundations of a new period of the Roman empire. Pitting her as his political nemesis, Augustus created a worthy opponent on his rise to power, yet the propaganda that fabricated her infamous legacy failed to cement her as such a villain. Even today, Cleopatra is regarded as a political superpower, a woman ahead of her time, and one of the best female leaders the ancient world had ever seen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n “Cybersecurity and Cryptography: The Interrelation,” Jalen Singleton, Class of 2022, Computer Science Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n Cybersecurity and cryptography are essential in today\u2019s world as organizations advance the collection, processing, and storing of unprecedented amounts of data on computers and digital operating devices. Large volumes of sensitive information such as personal information, financial data, intellectual property or other unauthorized data comprises today\u2019s normal business functions. This sensitive information, if compromised, could have huge negative financial, security, business, production, and market share consequences thus justifying the need for advanced technologies defined by cybersecurity and cryptography initiatives. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n “The Importance of Military Disciplines in the 17th Century Manchu Army as Seen in Dzengseo’s ‘Diary of my Service in the Army’,” Joseph M. Field, Class of 2021, Political Science Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n This essay explores the importance of military discipline in the Manchu army in the 17th century through the primary source document of Dzengseo\u2019s \u201cDiary of my Service in the Army.\u201d This essay argues that leaders of the Manchu army largely enforced discipline for practical, not moral, reasons. These practical reasons include facilitating the Manchu army\u2019s appropriation of civilians\u2019 crops and livestock, preserving the rank structure with regards to allocating the spoils of war, and encouraging the enemy to surrender as opposed to fighting to the death.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n “Geopolitical Impacts of Wahhabism in the Middle East,” Ashley Ruiz, Class of 2022, Political Science and Intelligence Double Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n This essay discusses the geopolitical impacts that the spread of Wahhabism has had on Saudi Arabia domestically and regionally. It examines the origin of Wahhabism, its modern-day implications, and how it has fostered an environment for extremism in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n “Implications of Quantum Computing on Computational Complexity Theory,” Shiloh Smiles, Class of 2022, Computer Science and Cyber Operations Double Major.<\/strong><\/summary>\n Quantum computing is a new, shallowly-explored field in computer science. Its ability to compute and store in non-binary operations revolutionizes how basic gates and mathematics operate, allowing for an entire new system of computing. This paves the way for a new understanding of computational complexity theory.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
