  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • 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....

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • An Exploration Into The Ever-changing Expanse of Non-periodic Tilings

    Creator:
    Tassin, Ian
    Abstract:
    This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

  • 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...

  • Mobile Cryptographic Coprocessor for Privacy-Preserving Two-Party Computation

    Creator:
    Kulp, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    Multi-party computation (MPC) is a field of study focused on devising cryptographic protocols that allow participants to learn the output of some function of their private inputs without trusting a third party to perform the computation. This is usually done at a large scale between data centers, with little emphasis...

  • 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...
