Creator:: Tamashiro, Aaron S.
Abstract:: Fission product yields (FPYs) are used for a wide range of applications including nuclear fission theory, nuclear reactor design, reactor antineutrino anomaly, stellar nucleosynthesis, and nuclear forensics. These applications rely on FPYs that were last evaluated in 1993, which included measurements from all over the world up until 1993. In...

Creator:: Khorshidi Zadeh, Marjan
Abstract:: Wastewater treatment plants are considered one of the main sources and reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study investigated the prevalence of 8 different phenotypes of AMR, multi-drug resistant (MDR), and extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) producing E. coli in 17 wastewater treatment plants across Oregon in winter and summer of 2019...

Creator:: Hahn, Kelby T.
Abstract:: In this dissertation I explore the Arms representation and activities for teaching quantum mechanics invented at Oregon State University. In the Arms representation students embody quantum states. The Arms activities are presented as an exemplar of the unique physics classroom culture of the upper-division Paradigms in Physics program. In the...

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Creator:: Bednar, Riley M.
Abstract:: Immobilized proteins are integral components of a number of important technologies, including the principal component of many biosensors, as functional coatings in various implants, as catalysts is industrial biosynthesis, and as the building blocks of next-generation nanotechnologies. Despite their ubiquity, relatively little is known about the processes that shape immobilized...

Creator:: Lenz, MacKenzie
Abstract:: Physics sensemaking is a growing topic of study within the physics education community. Many lenses have been used to study sensemaking but few have considered how time and instruction can impact student sensemaking practices and ideas. In this dissertation, I present four studies that address four major questions: What sensemaking...
