  • From the Classroom to the Boardroom: Behaviors Associated with Both Student Leader and Business Leader Effectiveness

    Creator:
    Dodge, Miles
    Abstract:
    Each year thousands of college graduates enter the business world armed with skills accumulated as student leaders, but how applicable are these skills to the business world? While there are many studies on learnable behaviors associated with effective student leadership and many studies on behaviors associated with effective business leadership,...

  • CFD Model Analysis and Validation for a Formula SAE Racecar

    Creator:
    LaFranchi, Alexander
    Abstract:
    This project examines the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model used by Global Formula Racing (GFR) to simulate external aerodynamics for a Formula SAE racecar. It seeks to improve the accuracy of the existing model by changing mesh and physics model parameters. Accuracy of the model is quantified through comparison to...

  • Automated Trunk Diameter Measurement

    Creator:
    Sankari, Pico
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes an automated method to estimate tree trunk width in a commer-cial apple orchard. Trunk cross sectional area, which is an important consideration with regards to nutrient uptake, is a feature being integrated in a decision support system for precision Nitrogen management. The data used to generate the...

  • Evaluation of ECOSTRESS products for estimation of leaf and grape water stress for Southern Oregon vineyards

    Creator:
    Swafford Steffensen, Collen
    Abstract:
    Accurate estimation of water stress in vineyards could prove vital for optimizing irrigation and grape quality in a changing climate. The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on the Space Station (ECOSTRESS) offers potential to remotely sense vineyard water stress but lacks validation against in-field measurements in vineyards. In this study,...

  • Assessing Annelid Habitat Suitability in the Lower Klamath River Basin

    Creator:
    Corrigan, Rory
    Abstract:
    This study assessed suitability of annelid habitats under current baseflow conditions and evaluated the mobility of suitable annelid substrates under a 2-year peak flushing flow. Outputs from a 2020 Bureau of Reclamation SRH-2D model were combined with field measurements of annelid presence/absence and habitat variables including depth, velocity and d50,...

  • Environmental DNA reveals cryptic parasite species and gives insight into their fish hosts

    Creator:
    Phillips, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan fish parasite that impacts hatchery and wild populations of salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest. Levels of the parasite in river water can be effectively monitored through direct filtration of parasite spores from water, extraction of total "environmental DNA" (eDNA), then quantitative polymerase chain...

  • Tabletop fusion reactors : construction and testing of a demonstration inertial electrostatic confinement fusor

    Creator:
    Holler, Logan R.
    Abstract:
    Nuclear fusion reactors comprise a significant field of study due to their potential to provide a limitless, clean, and sustainable source of energy. The inertial electrostatic confinement fusor is a type of fusion-generating device that accelerates deuterium gas to the conditions required for fusion. The goal of this research was...

  • Impact of biased movement on marine protected area effectiveness

    Creator:
    Rekow, James Alexander
    Abstract:
    Fish mobility affects the distribution of commercially caught fish species in marine protected areas (MPAs) and unprotected areas, which we will call fishing grounds (FGs). Previous theoretical findings predicted that highly mobile fish would benefit little if at all from protection in MPAs (Demartini 1993, Walters et al. 1999). However,...

  • Optimizing Cancer Drug Treatment Models Using Process Dynamics

    Creator:
    Jones, Alexander R.
    Abstract:
    Cancer is currently the second leading cause of death in the United States and the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. Due to cancer’s variability in type, location, growth rates, and patient physiology, treatment models are based off of previous experimental and clinical work. This variability, however, can lead to...

  • Impact of Vitamin E Deficiency on Hepatic Gene Expression of CRAL_TRIO Family Proteins in a Premier Vertebrate Animal Model

    Creator:
    Watt, Alexander T.
    Abstract:
    Vitamin E (vitE) is a group of lipid-soluble antioxidants- of which alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active and only form considered to be an essential nutrient. Through preferential binding and trafficking, the alpha-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) regulates the concentration of vitE in the body. The impact of vitE deficiency on...
