Robotic Actuation and Control with Programmable, Field-Activated Material Systems

Creator:: Bira, Nicholas P.
Abstract:: This dissertation presents novel, field-activated smart material systems for the actuation and control of autonomous robots. Smart materials, a type of material whose properties can be changed with an external stimuli, represent a promising direction to expand upon existing robotic control and actuation methods, particularly in the sub-fields of soft...

Evaluation of Current Dairy Heifer Growth Models

Creator:: Zaworski, Erica M.
Abstract:: Growth models developed by Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) extension services for Holstein and Jersey heifer height and weight were evaluated using OSU dairy herd heifer data. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of the models to predict heights and weights of heifers in the OSU...

The role of costimulation and adjuvants in the development of T cell effector and memory responses

Creator:: Maxwell, Joseph R.
Abstract:: T cells are one of the key cells in the immune system. Although they are not the first line of defense against a pathogen, their functions can greatly enhance the phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens as well as the development of antibody responses. Furthermore, even when responding T cells have...

Timescales and tectonics of oceanic plateaus : long-term evolution of Ontong Java Nui and Rio Grande Rise

Creator:: Davidson, Peter C.
Abstract:: Oceanic plateaus are regions of overthickened oceanic crust and are often thought to form from the interaction of mantle plumes with oceanic lithosphere. These regions can cover vast areas of the ocean basins and represent a highly elevated magmatic flux relative to normal mid-ocean ridge spreading. Oceanic plateaus are considered...

A Sticky Problem: Identifying the Barriers to the Adoption of Fats, Oils, and Grease as an Energy Feedstock in Oregon

Creator:: Davidson, Ian T.
Abstract:: This study investigates the barriers faced by fats, oil, and grease (FOG) as an energy feedstock in the state of Oregon. FOG, which typically originates in food service establishments (FSEs), historically has been treated as waste, yet it also has the chemical make up to be an energy feedstock in...

Cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases in the mosquito, Culex pipiens

Creator:: Baldridge, Gerald D.
Abstract:: A sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation technique for obtaining microsomes has been developed. This technique has advantages over the classic differential centrifugation technique, in that it is faster, is better suited to work with small quantities of tissue, and offers the opportunity to work with a defined microsomal sub-cellular fraction, rather than...

Environmental biology of Eriosoma pyricola Baker and Davidson

Creator:: Sethi, Satnam Lal
Abstract:: A method of culturing Eriosoma pyricola on detached root pieces was developed to ensure a regular supply of aphids for experimental work. Another method was designed for studying the alate sexuparae formation in woolly pear aphid, whereby growing plants were infested so that the aphids or their progeny could be...

Automated Trunk Diameter Measurement

Creator:: Sankari, Pico
Abstract:: This thesis describes an automated method to estimate tree trunk width in a commer-cial apple orchard. Trunk cross sectional area, which is an important consideration with regards to nutrient uptake, is a feature being integrated in a decision support system for precision Nitrogen management. The data used to generate the...

Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

Creator:: Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
Abstract:: This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...
