  • Mahler's order functions and algebraic approximation of p-adic numbers

    Creator:
    Dietel, Brian Christopher
    Abstract:
    If P is an integer polynomial denote the degree of P by ∂(P) and let H(P) be the maximum of the absolute value of the coefficients of P. Define Λ(P)=2[superscript ∂(P)]H(P) and for a fixed prime p let C[subscript p] denote the completion of the algebraic closure of the p-adic...

  • An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

    Creator:
    Zelenke, Brian Christopher
    Abstract:
    An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...

  • Novel architecture for entrapment of elastomeric membranes in microfluidic systems

    Creator:
    Blackwell, Edward P.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a novel microlamination architecture that enables the large scale integration of valves into low cost micro energy and chemical systems via membrane entrapment. Polycarbonate layers embossed with microfluidic channels were bonded by ultrasonic welding of raised embossed protrusions that penetrate though the PDMS membranes. The bonding pressure...

  • An in-shoe instrument for acquisition and storage of plantar pressure

    Creator:
    Noce, Heidi P.
    Abstract:
    A measurement system has been developed to continuously record pressure data between the sole of the foot and the shoe. Five force sensing resistors are mounted to an insole suitable for shoe insertion. The sensors are located at the heel, toe and under three metatarsal heads. Data from the sensors...

  • Development of a rare earth element paleoproxy

    Creator:
    Haley, Brian Alexander, 1973-
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a rare earth element (REE) proxy for paleoceanographic studies of climate change. This work was done in three stages with the goal: (1) To develop a cleaning method that overcomes the problems of REE readsorption; (2) To measure pore water REEs for evaluation of...

  • Adolescent out-of-school programs and negative outcomes : a longitudinal analysis

    Creator:
    Luckey, Brian P.
    Abstract:
    This study examined associations between participation in voluntary out-of-school programs (e.g., scouting, Boys' and Girls' Clubs, 4-H, YMCA/YWCA) in adolescence and four negative outcomes: school dropout, early sexual activity, delinquency, and drug use. A prospective longitudinal design had collected four waves of interview data on a national sample of 15,000...

  • Thermal hydraulic analysis of the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor using RELAP5-3D

    Creator:
    Marcum, Wade R.
    Abstract:
    Oregon State University has recently conducted a complete core conversion analysis as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactors Pprogram. The goals of the thermal hydraulic analyses were to calculate natural circulation flow rates, coolant temperatures and fuel temperatures as a function of core power for both...

  • Sources of flow maldistribution in microreactor-assisted synthesis of ceria nanoparticles

    Creator:
    Tseng, Chih-Heng
    Abstract:
    Recent efforts show that microchannel technologies have much to offer the field of nanomanufacturing: the structuring of matter on the order of one billionth of a meter. During the synthesis of nanomaterials, microchannel reactors take advantage of large surface-to-volume ratios to accelerate heat and mass transport. This accelerated transport allows...

  • An internal convective heating technique for diffusion bonding highly parallel microchannel architectures

    Creator:
    Bose, Sumantra
    Abstract:
    Diffusion bonding cycle times can be a large cost factor in the production of metal microchannel devices. The challenge is to significantly minimize this cost by reducing the bonding cycle time through rapid and uniform heating and cooling within the bonding process. Heating rates in diffusion bonding processes are typically...
