  • Probing Aqueous Ion-Pairing and Speciation of Group V Polyoxometalates

    Creator:
    Sures, Dylan J.
    Abstract:
    Polyoxometalates are discrete anionic oxo clusters of the Group V and VI transition metals that can be conceptualized as molecular metal oxides. Because they are pairable with any alkali cation, a great deal of fundamental chemistry can be gleaned from their study, including solubility trends and insight into cation binding...

  • Psychological Effects of Sport Injury on NCAA Division I Student Athlete: A Qualitative Case Study

    Creator:
    Gilbert, Kily C.
    Abstract:
    Negative emotional states are common for injured athletes, yet a 2016 survey suggested that only 38.3% of NCAA institutions had a full or part-time mental health professional (Kroshus, 2016). In considering the lack of support for mental health conditions in NCAA institutions, and the mental and psychological issues that come...

  • Melting Stage Analysis for Indirect Freeze Desalination

    Creator:
    Pratt, Mason G.
    Abstract:
    To investigate the melting stage of indirect freeze desalination three numerical models were developed. A zeroth, first, and second order analyses modeled the melting of ice around the outside of a pipe as a function of time. The zeroth order analysis assumes the system to be steady state. The first...

  • Direct Numerical Simulation of Anisotropic Particles in Turbulent Flow

    Creator:
    Roberts, Kai
    Abstract:
    Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows. This thesis explains the...

  • Reliability Analysis of a Freeze Desalination System

    Creator:
    Boschetti Tofano, Francisco A.
    Abstract:
    The unsustainable use of fresh water sources and unavailability of fresh water in certain parts of the world have created a demand for water desalination systems. Desalination methods are effective at producing consumable water, but often require large scale setups, high energy consumption, and careful maintenance. A team of students...

  • Al2O3 coated LiCoO2 as cathode for high-capacity and long-cycling Li-ion batteries

    Creator:
    Jian, Zelang, Wang, Wentao, Wang, Maoyu, Wang, Yan, AuYeung, Nicholas J., Liu, Miao, and Feng, Zhenxing
    Abstract:
    Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as energy storage devices play an important role in all aspects of our life. The increasing energy demand of the society requires LIBs with higher energy density and better performance. We here develop a new and easy-to-scaleup sol-gel method to coat a surface protection layer on commercial...

  • An Evaluation of Staffing Needs at the Health Clinic in Maunatlala, Botswana

    Creator:
    Bedge, Sonya S.
    Abstract:
    As part of the Botswana Global Learning Internship Program, a qualitative study was conducted regarding the current staffing conditions at the local village health clinic in Maunatlala, Botswana. This was a month-long project conducted over the summer of 2018. Students from Oregon State University lived in the village of Maunatlala...

  • Comparison of Three Different Analyzers to Measure Canine Serum Progesterone

    Creator:
    Hisanaga, Trevor H.
    Abstract:
    The canine estrous cycle is unique compared to other domestic animal species. During estrus, serum progesterone concentrations ([P4]) rise two days prior to ovulation. In fact, the luteinization of pre-ovulatory follicles resulting in this initial increase in [P4] (1.5-2.5 ng/ml) cannot be temporally dissociated from the onset of the surge...

    Clark, Deborah and Wilson, Mark V.
    Abstract:
    The Willamette Valley (Oregon) Prairie Plant Trait Dataset is a compilation of plant traits of species important in upland prairies, wetland prairies, vernal pools, and emergent wetlands, and in the restoration of prairies and wetlands of the Willamette Valley of Oregon. These species are also found widely throughout the Pacific...

  • Studying the most effective modes of marine science communication on plastic pollution in the oceans

    Creator:
    Burton, Simone A.
    Abstract:
    The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s. With recycling not getting to the source of the problem, smarter consumer choices are being targeted, specifically choices centered around the use of plastic. Thus efficient, useful communication...
