  • Comprehensive, Low-Cost Wicking Microfluidic Analytical Devices for Clinical Diagnostics and Environmental Analysis

    Creator:
    Bandara, Gayan C.
    Abstract:
    Analytical techniques are utilized in a wide variety of applications. Traditionally, analytical measurements are achieved by trained personnel in a laboratory setting using expensive scientific instruments, which limits their applicability in resource-limited areas and point-of-care applications. Therefore, the concept of enabling these laboratory-based qualitative and quantitative assays in microfluidic device...

  • Systemically Delivered Magnetic Hyperthermia for Cancer Treatment

    Creator:
    Albarqi, Hassan Ahmad M.
    Abstract:
    Despite advances in treatment, cancer remains among the leading causes of death in the world. Progress in the treatment of metastatic cancers was seen with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however, the major drawbacks of conventional cancer therapies are limited efficacy and severe side effects. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a new...

  • Dynamic Methods to Improve Streaming of H.264 HD Video Over 802.11 Wireless Networks

    Creator:
    Sinky, Mohammed H.
    Abstract:
    Wireless High Definition Video Transmission (WHDVT) over 802.11-based networks enjoys widespread deployment among today's multimedia solutions. Examples include Intel® Wireless Display and Apple Airplay®, to name a few. In these systems, peer-to-peer networks are established over which H.264-encoded video is transported wirelessly to be decoded and played back at the...

  • Dynamic and Dual Streaming Methods for H.264 Video and Parallel Performance Modeling

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    Traditional approaches to streaming H.264 video over a network typically rely on a single method of transport (i.e., reliable or unreliable) and/or use static values for parameters that can have a significant negative impact on the perceptual quality of the received video. This dissertation presents a dynamic method for wireless...

  • Evaluating the seismic risk and resilience of an electrical power system

    Creator:
    Chalishazar, Vishvas H.
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Northwest is part of the "Ring of Fire," which is well-known for heavy seismic activity. Numerous active faults in the area have encouraged electric grid managers in the region to more deeply contemplate and proactively intervene to support grid resilience. This research introduces Monte Carlo (MC) based power...

  • The impact of wood variability on the drying rate at different moisture content levels

    Creator:
    Berberović, Adin
    Abstract:
    Variability in wood properties causes boards within a stack of lumber to dry at different rates and reach different moisture content levels after drying is completed. The consequence is that the boards will have properties that differ from ones that were intended to be achieved by the drying process. The...

  • Material Properties in Ceramic Injection Molding Design

    Creator:
    Kate, Kunal H.
    Abstract:
    Ceramic injection molding (CIM) is a high volume, near net shaping process used to manufacture ceramic parts with complex features and shapes. In CIM design it is important to understand the molding behavior as a function of powder-polymer (feedstock) composition in order to achieve desired part dimensions and properties, at...

    Creator:
    Selman, Wisam H.
    Abstract:
    Leukemogenesis, uncontrolled proliferation of dysfunctional, transformed immature lymphocytes, appears, especially in children, to be associated with abrogation of normal lymphopoiesis, and thymopoiesis in the case of T cell leukemias. Sequence specific transcription factors (SSTFs) are nuclear control switches that respond to cellular signals to alter cell state and cell fate...

  • Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...

  • Reaction Pathways of Oxo-Hydroxo Group 5 Clusters to Metal Oxide Thin Films

    Creator:
    Mansergh, Ryan H.
    Abstract:
    Oxo-hydroxo Group 5 metal clusters are an untapped resource to study and advance aqueous solution processing of metal oxide thin films. The tetramethylammonium (TMA) hexatantalate salt (TMA6[H2Ta6O19]) yields dense Ta2O5 films (~95% of the bulk ß-Ta2O5 density) with atomically smooth surfaces (<4 Å root mean square surface roughness). This same...
