Creator:: Boechler, Amanda N.
Abstract:: Platinum and palladium surfaces are utilized as catalytic surfaces in the chemical industry. Understanding how hydrogen atoms interact with the metal surfaces will allow for further advancement in this area. Specifically, the interaction of hydrogen on the surface and subsurface of these metals was investigated using density functional theory calculations...
Resource Type:: Honors College Thesis

Creator:: Hinkle, Christopher M.
Abstract:: This study investigated learning in three engineering student clubs at a large public university. This included a small-sized chemical reaction car competition, a large-sized formula racing team, and an international humanitarian engineering club. Research methods included observations of work sessions (N=27) and semi-structured interviews (N=19). Using Cultural Historical Activity Theory...

Creator:: Wade, Alyson
Abstract:: Small landowners in the state of Oregon find it difficult to be competitive with larger companies to provide traditional forest products to consumers. Additionally, many landowners hope to be profitable from their land, but are not necessarily interested in or have the capability to harvest large tracts of timber. Specialty...

Creator:: Fobi, Simone
Abstract:: Rising CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere (396 ppmv as of April 2012) increase the effect of global warming and climate change. CO₂ sequestration has become a potential method to mitigate climate change. This study focuses on capillary/residual trapping as a form of geologic CO₂ sequestration. Capillary/residual trapping occurs when supercritical...

Creator:: Sophonputtanaphoca, Supaporn
Abstract:: The work described in this dissertation focused on chemistry related to the use of aqueous sodium hydroxide as a treatment in the processing of wheat straw. A major emphasis was the comprehensive evaluation of straw component partitioning due to sodium hydroxide (NaOH) processing. This was evaluated over a range of...
