Optical Modelling of Thin Films: Applying Effective Medium Theory to Mixtures of TiO₂ and SnO₂

Creator:: Wulf, Julian J.
Abstract:: This study used SCOUT optical modelling software to create models of the reflectance and transmittance spectra generated by mixtures of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and tin oxide (SnO2). These models enabled identification of how altering the ratio of a mixture changes the optical response. By being able to identify how altering...

Cascadia’s cold war : Malamud’s novel, A New Life, and OSU’s Liberal Arts at the midcentury

Creator:: Sal, K. Sukhjot
Abstract:: This thesis will compare former OSU Professor Bernard Malamud’s life in Corvallis through primary sources and documents with his parallel experience in his 1961 novel A New Life. A close examination of Malamud’s literature and investigation of his life at OSU exposes an uneven balance between academic censorship and the...

Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

Creator:: Wong, Derek C.
Abstract:: The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...

Housing Chickens: How Much Space is Enough?

Creator:: Bradley, Emily D.
Abstract:: The stocking density for chickens can have major impacts on their health and welfare. There is no single correct answer for how many chickens you can house in a specified area, as it depends on the quality of housing. Chickens can tolerate a higher stocking density without major health concerns...

Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

Creator:: Gregory, Dylan B.
Abstract:: The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

Creator:: Khalife, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...

Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

Creator:: Busche, Jacob A.
Abstract:: A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

The Gender Wage Gap and Education

Creator:: Nordin, Bri
Abstract:: Does the wage gap exist in careers that require higher levels of educational attainment? Research indicates that, on average, women make around 80% of what men earn. This study aims to investigate the relationship between educational attainment and the magnitude of the wage gap. Due to the differences in gender...

A Study of Charging Behaviors in Organic Semiconductors using Optical Trapping

Creator:: Founds, Graham M.
Abstract:: We measure the charging and discharging of two organic materials, PCBM and ADT-TES-F. These materials are studied through the noncontact method of particle trapping known as Optical Tweezers, where an IR laser is used to constrain the motion of a coated or noncoated silica sphere while its positional data is...

Exploring the Optical and Electronic Properties of Xylindein, a Fungus-Derived Pigment, as a Sustainable Organic Semiconductor

Creator:: Quinn, Alexander
Abstract:: Xylindein is an organic pigment derived from Chlorociboria aeruginascens and C. aeruginosa fungi that has shown promise as an organic semiconductor. Preliminary estimates of charge carrier mobilities (CCMs) on the order of 0.1 cm2/Vs were calculated from early tests on xylindein thin films, and photocurrents were also observed under laser...
