Restoring and Updating the Micralyne μTK

Creator:: Wong, Derek H.
Abstract:: The Micralyne microfluidic toolkit (μTK) was an instrument built by Micralyne in the early 2000’s. It was built for electrophoresis and has a sensitive laser-induced fluorescence detection system. The updates to the system were upgrading the control GUI from running in LabVIEW 5 (Windows XP, 2000) to LabVIEW 2012 (Windows...

Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

Creator:: Van Volkenburg, Tessa
Abstract:: This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

Phase Separation in Microscale Convective Boiling

Creator:: Lewis, Kevin Terrence
Abstract:: It is hypothesized that extracting the vapor from two-phase flow in a microchannel will result in a lowered pressure drop required to drive the flow. The goal of this thesis is to construct an experimental device that will test this hypothesis by comparing a number of phase separating test conditions...

The Art and Craft of John Williams

Creator:: Lincoln, Danae A.
Abstract:: The intent of this paper is to bring more attention to the mastery involved with film composition as an art form. The research focuses specifically on the life, style, influences, and works of John Williams as a conductor, film composer, and composer. It addresses his biography, filmography, and working relationships,...

A Method to Effectively Measure Sustainability in Non-Profit Organizations

Creator:: Vanlue, Mary Elizabeth
Abstract:: With the growing importance of sustainability, organizations in the non-profit sector need a way to measure, track, improve, and report their sustainability. Through research in current literature and a survey of practices within local non-profits, it is shown these organizations need a simple, flexible process with stakeholder participation to measure...

Reason as Race : Enlightenment Voyages of Discovery and their Effect on 18th Century Racial Discourse

Creator:: Parker, Katherine A.
Abstract:: The proper way to order knowledge and find truth about the natural world in the eighteenth century lay in one’s ability to correctly learn and employ the quality of reason. While all had the right to seek reason, only a privileged few achieved its proper use, creating an intellectual elite...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation of Hemolysis Potential in a Microfluidic Hemoperfusion Device Designed for Use in Sepsis Treatment

Creator:: Myers, Karl N.
Abstract:: The potential of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet damage was studied for a novel microfluidic hemoperfusion device currently in development at Oregon State University for use in treating sepsis. COMSOL 4.4's computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module was used to examine shear rate profiles in laminar, Newtonian blood flow throughout...

Haunted by Trauma: A Novel

Creator:: Fox, Amanda
Abstract:: My thesis is a novel about mental illness. It follows the stories of four different women who all suffer from mental or emotional disorders. My novel explores the dynamics of relationships, trauma, mental illness, and sexuality. I work to create purposeful ambiguity in my novel between reality and the manifestations...

Examining Relationships Between the Family Stage of Change Survey and the Family Nutrition Physical Activity Survey among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Families

Creator:: Navarrete, Ricardo, Jr.
Abstract:: Family influence in the home environment has been linked to children’s nutrition and physical activity behaviors. However few tools exist to identify family level behaviors and families’ readiness to change those behaviors, particularly for populations at high risk for obesity such as Hispanics. This study summarizes the relationships of similar...

“SHOO FLY”: Reduce Pesticide Dependence with Knowledgeabout Drosophila suzukii

Creator:: Marek, Charlene Marie
Abstract:: Drosophila suzukii was a known pest of berries, grapes, and stone fruits in East Asia for almost a century. Yet in recent years it has successfully migrated throughout the United States, Mexico, and Europe due to globalized fruit trade. The invasive success of D. suzukii is causing unrest for fruit...
