  • Riddled with Exclusivity: The Homogeneity of the Supreme Court Bar in the Roberts Court

    Creator:
    Carsh, Austin M.
    Abstract:
    The Supreme Court Bar-the lawyers who argue before the US Supreme Court-has historically been an elite and exclusive group.

  • UVB Radiation Affects the Quality of the Female Sexual Attractiveness Pheromone of the Red-Sided Garter Snake

    Creator:
    Vigeland, Anna E.
    Abstract:
    In this study, pheromone and skin lipid samples collected from red-sided garter snakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) were exposed directly to either full-spectrum light or full-spectrum plus UVB light. In addition, female and male snakes were exposed to daily doses of either full-spectrum or full-spectrum and UVB light, after which the...

  • Investigations into the Mechanism of Action of Dengue Virus Inhibitor Compounds

    Creator:
    Schneider, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...

  • Detecting Violent Explosive Neurologic Trauma in American Service Members

    Creator:
    Crowell, Jeffrey R.
    Abstract:
    The emergence of high explosives on the battlefield can be defined both literally and figuratively as a seismic event in the landscape of modern warfare. High explosives first came into common use in war in 1914. By the end of World War I just four years later, more than 2.5...

  • An Analysis of U.S. News Media Coverage of E-Cigarettes: Does a Youth Epidemic Make a Difference?

    Creator:
    Winett, Julia R.
    Abstract:
    Rates of electronic cigarettes (or “e-cigarettes”) use among youth are so high that the Surgeon General declared them to be of “epidemic proportions” (A Report of the Surgeon General, 2012). If these rates go unchanged, e-cigarettes will likely be responsible for the creation of a new generation of combustible cigarette...

  • Homeland Security Aspects of Oregon State’s Wave Energy Project

    Creator:
    Palmer, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Wave energy has a promising future, especially for the Pacific Northwest, and Oregon, pioneering the way to meet Oregon’s goal of 25% renewable energy by 2025. The project represents a significant ability to harness the untapped potential energy of ocean waves, and maintains the potential to replace standard power sources...

  • CFD and Wind Tunnel Determination of Rear Wing Slot Gaps for 2014 Formula SAE Racecar

    Creator:
    Peterson, Curtis J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to examine the effect of the slot gap spacing on a multi element rear wing. A three element rear wing is used in order to produce maximum downforce at the relatively low speed of Formula SAE competitions. These high lift configurations serve to increase...

  • Evaluating the Toxicity of Organophosphate Flame Retardants in Zebrafish

    Creator:
    Britsch, Kimberly A.
    Abstract:
    Flame retardants are in many home products including couches, chairs, and electronics. The most commonly used flame retardants contained polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) until 2004, when the majority of these chemicals were phased out. PBDEs were found to be persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment. Organophosphate...

  • The Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of an Undertray for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Dang, Victor Q.
    Abstract:
    A student-built lap time simulation coupled with the scoring model of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Series has revealed the major importance of downforce on overall points. As a result, the Global Formula Racing (GFR) team has recently focused much effort towards the development of an aerodynamics package...
