  • Preliminary Numerical Study of a Condenser Using Fractal-Like Patterned Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Strips

    Creator:
    Lazaroff, Spencer A.
    Abstract:
    Condensers are vital components of power plants and are often one of the most major cost concerns when planning construction. Generally speaking, the surface area required to dissipate the heat generated in the boiler is so great that enormous and expensive structures are necessary. The usage of a hybrid surface...

  • Internationalization in Oregon and Washington community colleges

    Creator:
    Sipe, Deborah M.
    Abstract:
    Research on higher education during the period 1990 to 2013 has suggested that U.S. higher education institutions were significantly impacted by a number of global forces, including an increase in the movement of goods, information, and people across borders. During the same period, a measurable increase occurred in the number...

  • On the optimization of performance in fractal-like branching microchannel heat transfer devices

    Creator:
    Heymann, Douglas Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Fractal-like branching microchannel flow networks have been found to improve wall temperature uniformity and decrease both pressure drop and flow power compared to arrays of straight microchannels. The present study seeks to maximize the benefits of fractal-like branching channels by means of a gradient-based optimization algorithm. The algorithm identifies the...

  • An exploratory study of the role of the child specialist in family law

    Creator:
    Smith, Lynne M.
    Abstract:
    Research indicates that enduring interparental conflict before, during, and after divorce has negative effects on children. Parental conflict can be reduced utilizing alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes such as mediation and collaborative divorce. The purpose of this dissertation was to produce two manuscripts examining the role of the child specialist...
