Simulating the dose enhancement effects of platinum nanoparticles in a spherical geometry with Monte Carlo calculations

Creator:: Mathews, Joshua A.
Abstract:: Background: The use of high-Z nanoparticles as radiation dose enhancers has been researched thoroughly over the past decade. High-Z nanoparticles introduced to a medium increase the probability of photoelectric absorption. This leads to an increase in the production of short range characteristic and Auger electrons and, thus, local radiation dose....

Estimation of Population Age Structure, Detection Probability, and Density of Red Tree Voles in Oregon

Creator:: Marks-Fife, Chad A.
Abstract:: Red tree voles (Arborimus longicaudus) are a unique species of Arvicoline rodent found in western Oregon and northwest California. Their preferred habitat is mature and old-growth coniferous forest dominated by Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Tree voles are an important prey item for northern spotted owls and many other predators, but are...

Printing 3D Magnetic Composite Structures with Arbitrary Anisotropy using UV-curable Magnetic Ink

Creator:: Clay, Garrett
Abstract:: Inkjet printing offers a cost effective, highly customizable method for rapid manufacturing of functional devices with minimal material waste. Although this method has been used for a variety of composites, little work has been done in the area of 3D printing magnetic composites. Presented here is a process for inkjet...

Unsaturated Soils and Foundation Design : Theoretical Considerations for an Effective Stress Framework

Creator:: Baker, Josiah D.
Abstract:: This study presents the theoretical background necessary to model the bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundations in partially saturated soils. The conventional bearing capacity equations for shallow and deep foundations and the 𝛽-method for deep foundation side resistance have been modified to include the effects of matric suction and...

Evaluation of Topography and Seismicity on Shallow Landslide Susceptibility

Creator:: Hess, Daniel M.
Abstract:: Shallow landslides are a prevalent concern in mountainous regions that can result in severe societal, economic, and environmental impacts. The challenge is further compounded as the size and location of a potential slide is often unknown. This study presents a generalized approach for the evaluation of shallow landslide susceptibility using...

Primal Matter : Deep Objects in Historical Accounts of the Glanton Gang

Creator:: Schauer, Austin A.
Abstract:: The question of deep time has been widely debated in the field of American Literature, with scholar Wai Chee Dimock arguing that a deep time perspective puts the chronology of different nations against one another. However, this argument has not adequately addressed the issue of how deep time theories would...

Transformation of Carbon Tetrachloride and Chloroform by Trichloroethene Respiring Anaerobic Mixed Cultures and Supernatant

Creator:: Vickstrom, Kyle E.
Abstract:: Carbon tetrachloride (CT) and chloroform (CF) were transformed in batch reactor experiments conducted with anaerobic dechlorinating cultures and supernatant (ADC+S) harvested from continuous flow reactors. The Evanite (EV-5L) and Victoria/Stanford (VS-5L) cultures capable of respiring trichloroethene (TCE), 1,2-cis-dichloroethene (cDCE), and vinyl chloride (VC) to ethene (ETH) were grown in continuous...

Lateral Load Path Analysis : Practical Methods for Light-Frame Modular Structures

Creator:: Huynh, Thanh Q.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study are to use SAP2000 to investigate lateral load paths and system behavior in a modular, light-frame wood structure by investigating different foundation configurations and to further develop and validate existing modeling techniques of shear wall elements based on the Perforated Shear Wall Method. The modeling...

Factors Affecting Persistence of Canines at an Independent Task

Creator:: Brubaker, Lauren M.
Abstract:: The development of problem-solving behaviors in canines, including persistence, has implications for canine training, welfare, and the human-dog bond. Past research has shown that a variety of factors, including genetics (domestication) and training experience, play a role in a how a canine might behave during a problem-solving task. Less well...

Exploring Colloid Transport in Unsaturated Porous Media Using X-Ray Microtomography

Creator:: Brueck, Chris L.
Abstract:: Understanding the mechanisms controlling colloid transport and deposition in the vadose zone is an important step in protecting our water resources. Colloid transport in unsaturated porous media was studied using X-Ray Microtomography (XMT), which is a non-destructive imaging technique that provides three-dimensional images at a resolution on the order of...
