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...

Avian Community Assembly Following Volcanic Disturbance at Volcán Arenal, Costa Rica and Mount St. Helens, USA

Creator:: Fairchild, Karl C.
Abstract:: Volcanism is an agent of major disturbance in many parts of the world. While the effects of volcanic disturbance are fairly well-known among some groups of species, few studies have been performed in bird communities. Likewise, few studies have attempted to compare how communities in temperate and tropical biomes respond...

Identification of Barriers to Industrial Energy Efficiency Improvement in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Martz, Allison M.
Abstract:: The US industrial sector accounts for about one-third of the nation’s energy consumption and is predicted to grow twice as quickly as other sectors through 2050. International organizations such as the International Energy Agency project energy efficiency improvements will account for over 40% of greenhouse gas emissions reductions through 2040....

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...

Numeric Benchmark Study of Plate Vibration Experiments in Air and Water

Creator:: Britsch, Karl R.
Abstract:: A set of experimental plates were characterized to understand their dynamic response in both air and water; in support of work performed at the Hydro-Mechanical Fuel Test Facility and the Global threat Reduction Initiative. In an attempt to gain further insight into the vibration of the experimental test plates, a...

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...

A Hybrid-Dynamic Transition Phase for High Mix Low Volume Small-and-Medium Manufacturers

Creator:: Girod, Olivia J.
Abstract:: SMEs with high-mix and low-volume (HMLV) operations face special challenges when implementing lean manufacturing practices due to scarcity of resources and ever changing market conditions. This is especially critical for manufacturers that need to deliver orders to a high variety of customers with varying time response requirements. The objective of...

Quantification of fibrinogen adsorption to nisin-loaded polyethylene oxide layers

Creator:: Auxier, Julie A.
Abstract:: Antimicrobial coatings used to reduce the risk of infection caused by tissue-contacting medical devices must address specific biocompatibility requirements including prevention of thrombosis and rise of bacterial resistance. An antimicrobial-loaded poly(ethylene-oxide) (PEO) coating has been tentatively shown to be non-fouling with sustained antimicrobial activity. However, the presence of the antimicrobial,...
