Soft Robotics in Radiation Environments : A Prospective Study of an Emerging Automated Technology for Existing Nuclear Applications

Creator:: Oshiro, Tyler T.
Abstract:: Traditional robots have a long history in nuclear-related work because their integration decreases risk to humans in dangerous environments. Soft robotics is one promising new branch of traditional robotics with proposed applications in industry, medicine, and society. Collaborators from the Robotics mLab at Oregon State University (OSU) are currently working...

Middle Eastern student perceptions of mattering and marginality at a large American university

Creator:: Norris, Kent
Abstract:: This study aimed to explore the relatively undocumented experiences and perceptions of mattering and marginality among Middle Eastern students attending a large American university, it also sought to inform higher education administration about the unique characteristics of this rapidly noticeable student population and it attempted to narrow the knowledge gap...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: get to this point. A very special thank you goes to my father who passed away during the process

Assessing the Current State of Transboundary Cooperation in the International Columbia River Basin

Creator:: Timboe, Ingrid A.
Abstract:: The Columbia River Treaty (CRT) is often used as an example of how treaties can work to normalize, regulate, and improve the cooperative management of shared water resources between basin countries. Few would argue that, in its limited mandate to regulate hydropower generation and flood risk management for downstream communities,...

Full Text:: support. I hope that our report proves useful for the Council and Trust as they consider their future

Power Electric System Load and Generation Forecasting via ARMA, ARIMA, and K-Medoids Methods for Grid Expansion Purposes: A Comparison

Creator:: McLaughlin, Zachery D.
Abstract:: The electric power grids of countries across the globe rely on load and generation forecasting to know when, where, and how much resources need to be dispatched to sustain proper grid operation. Because of this, forecasting needs to be highly accurate to avoid unnecessary resource dispatch which can be costly....
Resource Type:: Capstone Project
Full Text:: navigate the Accelerated Master’s Program and Graduate school. I would like to give special thanks to Dr

Impacts of Prediction on Wave Energy Converter Control

Creator:: Comard, Colin Q.
Abstract:: Ocean waves provide a promising source of renewable energy for the North American electric grid. However, ideal control of wave energy converters (WECs) requires perfect forecasting of future wave conditions, and waves can be unpredictable. This paper presents a comparison of three different prediction methods and analyzes their performance in...

Gender Dimensions in Disaster Management : A Focus on Aquaculture and Fishing Communities in the Philippines

Creator:: Chow, Morgan
Abstract:: Many nations that invest in aquaculture and fisheries for improved nutrition and food security are located in areas prone to natural disasters, such as typhoons. While all residents are vulnerable to the effects of disasters, research suggests that women are disproportionately affected at all stages of disaster management: preparedness, response,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: volcanic eruptions (19 events) (Gaillard et al., 2007). According to the 2012 World Risk Report

Performance-Based Design Methodology for Using Emergent Vegetation to Mitigate Wave Overtopping

Creator:: Ostrow, Kayla
Abstract:: To facilitate the design of Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF) for flood protection, this thesis expands an existing engineering design methodology to NNBF systems. The existing approach is a Level III reliability method for the performance-based design of traditional coastal engineering systems. The expanded methodology incorporates uncertainties inherent to both...

Municipal sewerage system resilience : disturbances and management strategies in Cook County, IL

Creator:: Oravec, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Sewerage infrastructure, including wastewater treatment facilities and conveyance pipes, is reaching the end of its useful life throughout the United States. Aging infrastructure may be more susceptible to fracturing and collapses due to deterioration. Further, sewerage infrastructure is usually designed to discharge untreated wastewater or stormwater into nearby waterways during...

Residential water conservation and energy efficiency impacts through effective scheduling and opportunities for regional expansion : a case study of a gas tankless water heater with recirculation loop

Creator:: Johnson, Erica M.
Abstract:: This study focused on the potential water and energy savings from implementing a revised schedule of a recirculation pump connected to a condensing gas tankless water heater located in a study home in Portland, Oregon. The existing recirculation pump activation schedule was studied for its impact on the overall water...
