  • Multi-Grand, Multi-Canonical, Flat Histogram, Monte Carlo Simulations for the Square Well Fluid

    Creator:
    Trotter, Cade W.
    Abstract:
    Currently multi-canonical, and grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations exist, but do not always give all of the necessary information of the system. When using a 1-D (only changing in one variable) broad histogram Monte Carlo method a user would need to run a range of simulations in order to get...

  • Simulating Fluids: Testing a New Grand Canonical Histogram Method on the Square-Well Fluid

    Creator:
    Vande Griend, Jacob W.
    Abstract:
    Monte Carlo methods are used to explore vapor-liquid phase transitions. However, current models are computationally expensive when identifying these phase transitions. Traditionally, Monte Carlo simulations are run across a range of temperatures at a fixed number of atoms/molecules. The Number Monte Carlo method (NMC), our proposed Monte Carlo method, runs...

  • The Social Safety Net and Child Poverty in Oregon

    Creator:
    Koch, Dillon A.
    Abstract:
    The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) is the newest method to paint a more accurate picture of the scope of poverty in the United States than the Official Poverty Measure (OPM). In doing so, the SPM includes many sources of income, including income from work and in-kind government supplemental policies. The...

  • Development of an instrument assessing ATV use among Oregon's youth on ranches and farms

    Creator:
    Iggulden, Kathryn G., White, David, and Bethel, Jeff
    Abstract:
    During the 1980s the sales and use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) was on the rise. Many people used them for recreation, while others started using them on their ranch or farm for work-related purposes. As a result, morbidity and mortality rates also began to climb. It became apparent that the...

  • Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

    Creator:
    Murphy, Thomas W.
    Abstract:
    Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...

  • The crude reality : effects of oil booms on households in shale-oil states

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Camden W.
    Abstract:
    Oil is notorious for its volatility. Often as an indicator for economic wellbeing, the commodity employs millions across the country. Entire communities in the western United States are centered around oil extraction, with employment, livelihoods, and revenues dependent on oil’s success. This combination of factors begs the question, how do...

  • Position-Dependent Codon Usage Bias in the Human Transcriptome

    Creator:
    Subramanian, Kaavya
    Abstract:
    All life depends on the reliable translation of RNA to protein according to complex interactions between translation machinery and RNA sequence features. While ribosomal occupancy and codon frequencies vary across coding regions, well-established metrics for computing coding potential of RNA do not capture such positional dependence. Here, we investigate position-dependent...

  • Optimizing Monte Carlo simulation of the square-well fluid

    Creator:
    Perlin, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    We identify and develop efficient Monte Carlo methods for determining thermodynamic properties of the square-well fluid in order to test square-well density functional theories near the critical point. Previous works have developed generic so-called histogram methods for collecting statistics on low energy system states, but little or no literature exists...
