Investigation into the effects of subsurface ice deposits on the shielding of fast spectrum nuclear reactors using Martian regolith

Creator:: Frey, Wesley D.
Abstract:: As human exploration of space continues, eventually sights will be set on establishing a permanent manned habitat on the surface of Mars. The success of such a base will depend on many new and developing technologies. Low mass and high energy density power production units will be of paramount importance....

Use of BC-523a liquid scintillator for simultaneous neutron spectroscopy and gamma counting with the implementation of a neutron history reconstruction algorithm

Creator:: Frey, Wesley D.
Abstract:: Real-time, high efficiency neutron spectroscopy has, historically, been a persistent challenge in the field of radiation detection and, for the most part, has gone unsolved. The most promising method to resolve this challenge, is the boron-capture technique using an organic scintillation system (BC-523a). Detectors that utilize this method possess an...

Evaluation of the LifeKnowledge Curriculum and its usability in the Oregon Agricultural Sciences classroom

Creator:: Crawford, Paul Wesley
Abstract:: The LifeKnowledge curriculum is a recent initiative of the National FFA Organization to develop key learning precepts in agriculture education students. This material utilizes cutting-edge teaching techniques in lesson plans designed to develop leadership, teamwork, personal development, and communication abilities in students. This project surveyed current agriculture teachers in Oregon...

A contextual model for the integration of LifeKnowledge curriculum into the agricultural science and technology classroom

Creator:: Crawford, Paul Wesley
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a contextual model for integrating lessons from the LifeKnowledge curriculum into the agricultural science and technology (AST) course content. This was measured using the National FFA Organization’s online precept indicator which is part of the LifeKnowledge 3.0 curriculum. Ninth grade students at...

A perceived-risk curriculum for at-risk learners

Creator:: Kash, Laurel Renee
Abstract:: Although perceived-risk curriculum, that is, where the learner experiences effects of eustress (positive stress), has been used in Arts or outdoor activities, it has not been used in school classrooms. Milkman’s 1996 studies of after-school Project Self Discovery demonstrated that at-risk students lessened their adverse risky behaviors, such as substance...

The application of human motor control principles to a collective robotic arm

Creator:: Harty, Tyson Harold
Abstract:: Current robots are no match for biological organisms when adapting to real-world, dynamic environments. Collective control strategies, such as those used by synergistic biological systems composed of large numbers of identical parts like the human nervous system, provide a novel and alternative approach for the design of fault-tolerant, adaptable robotic...

The language of mathematics : a functional definition and the development of an instrument of measure teacher perceived self-efficacy

Creator:: Gray, Virginia
Abstract:: Mathematics is permeated with language; it appears in the form of new words and some old words with new meanings. There are new symbols to be able to read and consume; much information is presented in tabular or graphic form, and finally the language in a mathematics class has its...

Inflammation, immune suppression, and iron status in endurance athletes and the effects of antioxidant supplementation

Creator:: Hopkins, Dawn Marie Weseli
Abstract:: During extreme exercise, athletes experience increased inflammation that is similar to the acute phase response. Endurance athletes, distance runners in particular, are also more susceptible to compromised iron stores. This study evaluated inflammation, immune function and iron status in athletes completing a 50K ultramarathon. Twenty-two well-trained distance runners, 11 males...

Constraining Bayesian network learning with qualitative models

Creator:: Altendorf, Eric E.
Abstract:: Machine learning encompasses probabilistic and statistical techniques that can build models from large quantities of extensional information (examples) with minimal dependence on intensional information (domain knowledge). This focus of machine learning is reflected in the never-ending quest for "off-the-shelf" classifiers. To generalize to unseen data, however, we must make use...

Methods for cost-sensitive learning

Creator:: Margineantu, Dragos D.
Abstract:: Many approaches for achieving intelligent behavior of automated (computer) systems involve components that learn from past experience. This dissertation studies computational methods for learning from examples, for classification and for decision making, when the decisions have different non-zero costs associated with them. Many practical applications of learning algorithms, including transaction...
