A Partial Proof of Bertrand's Theorem

Creator:: Musgrove, John F.
Abstract:: In this paper, we provide a thorough proof of most of Bertrand's Theorem. Using Arnold's book "Mathematical methods of classical mechanics" as a backbone and calculus methods demonstrated by Jovanović in his article "A note on the proof of Bertrand's theorem," we show that for masses in a central field...

Visualizing Internalization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles by Canine Osteosarcoma Cells

Creator:: Bilal, Jumanah
Abstract:: Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a primary malignant bone tumor sarcoma that occurs in dogs as well as people and has aggressive biologic behavior with devastating consequences. Because of the similarities in morphology and prognosis, OSA in dogs represents an effective model for the equivalent disease in humans. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)...

Tuning tRNA and EF-Tu for the Efficient Site-specific Incorporation of Noncanonical Amino Acids into Proteins

Creator:: Gottfried-Lee, Ilana L.
Abstract:: Genetic code expansion (GCE) is a technology that allows us to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) site-specifically into recombinant proteins using engineered translational machinery. Typically, an orthogonal aaRS/tRNA pair is engineered by directed evolution to recognize the ncAA and incorporate it at a reassigned codon while not interacting with the...

Isolation and Identification of Indole Metabolites from Pseudomonas fluorescens NZI7

Creator:: Vergis, John M.
Abstract:: Pseudomonas fluorescens NZI7 was first isolated from a New Zealand mushroom farm in 2001. This Gram-negative bacteria can cause brown blotch disease in the basidiomycete mushroom Agaricus bisporus. P. fluorescens NZI7 can also repel grazing by the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a natural predator of P. fluorescens NZI7. Potentially implicated in...

New Inorganic Pigments from Mineral Structures

Creator:: Schettini Mejia, Carlo A.
Abstract:: The discovery of new blue pigments is a field of great interest, as commercially available pigments present properties that make them undesirable such as poor sustainability, cost, and stability. By researching solid solutions with the melilite structure, we discovered a new solid solution Sr2Zn1-xNixGe2O7, with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.6,...

Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

Creator:: Snyder, Thomas
Abstract:: Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

Creator:: Siekmann, Jonah A.
Abstract:: Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

An Analysis of Americans’ Trust in the News Media

Creator:: Uskokovic, Andrea A.
Abstract:: With trust in the media reaching an all-time low among Americans, I wanted to explore what prompted this shift in attitude. This thesis analyzes how Americans’ perspectives on the credibility of modern-day media and the value they place on the freedom of the press are heavily influenced by their preferred...

The Oregon Tooth Journey : developing a researched-centered community engagement project to improve childhood dental health and education throughout Oregon

Creator:: Cowles, Emily A.
Abstract:: Childhood tooth decay is a prevalent and concerning public health issue that is often misunderstood or dismissed. In Oregon specifically, over 50% of children have experienced at least one instance of tooth decay and these rates are even higher for marginalized communities such as children living in poverty, children of...

Thermodynamics of Laser-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of Yttrium Oxide

Creator:: Dhas, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...
