An American College Experience: It Tastes Like Burning

Creator:: Shapiro, David L.
Abstract:: A collection of short stories in the style of flash fiction. The themes of the stories include relationships, legality, and friendship. The stories are connect by themes, cross self-referencing, repetition, fragmentation, and characters. The main unifying feature is the characterization of the narrator through his response and commentary. The styles...

Design and preliminary characterization of thermally-actuated pumps utilizing Marangoni and Leidenfrost effects

Creator:: Sedler, Stephen Joseph
Abstract:: Design and preliminarily characterization of two thermally-actuated pumps is presented in this thesis. The unique feature of both pumps is the presence of periodic asymmetrical structures on the channel walls. Two heat transfer effects are used with surface asymmetry to generate forces that drive the fluid in a preferential direction...

Evaluation of total hip arthroplasty research in the US and Europe

Creator:: Simmons, Marcy J.
Abstract:: Background: Hip replacements are considered routine operations which improve the quality of life in patients by reducing pain and restoring function. There are many variations in prostheses with varying benefits and disadvantages. Methods: Literature from the United States and Europe was collected on total hip replacements between 2001 and the...

International Engineering Interns in their Own Words: Past Interns Share their Stories and their Wisdom with the Future

Creator:: Van Bossuyt, Douglas
Abstract:: Students participating in international engineering internships are still relatively rare. It is commonly held that more engineering students would choose to intern abroad if there were role models available, as there are in other disciplines. Profiles of past students, participants, and Alumni serve as role models to perspective students allows...

Light Pollution and the Limiting Visual Magnitude in Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Grellmann, Carsten Christof
Abstract:: This study sought to ascertain the degree to which the night sky of Corvallis is affected by light pollution by determining the limiting visual magnitude. Defined as the brightness of the dimmest star that can be seen with the averted naked eye, the limiting visual magnitude establishes a quantitative standard...

Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

Creator:: Apreotesi, Mario A.
Abstract:: With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

Phase Separation in Microscale Convective Boiling

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin Terrence
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...

Selecting a Marathon Training Program

Creator:: Weismann-Yee, Ryan
Abstract:: The marathon is well noted for the extreme stress it applies to the body and mind. The physiological aspects of marathon training were investigated and examined for someone unfamiliar with the field. Several training programs were investigated within a framework provided by the popular Daniels' Running Formula. By the Formula's...
