  • Numerical Simulation of a Thouless Pump

    Creator:
    Wall, Bryce
    Abstract:
    At the macroscopic scale, we have pumps that use the classical laws of physics to move liquids at a well defined rate. In the microscopic world, physicists are exploring pumps that make use of quantum mechanical behavior to build analogous pumps for quantum particles. The importance of such “quantum pumps”...

  • Electrical Conductivity of Ceramic Material at High Temperature

    Creator:
    Kangsathein, Parm
    Abstract:
    The electrical conductivity data of ceramic material at high temperatures can be useful in the application of modeling, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The existing data is considerably lacking at extreme temperatures. Our research focuses on bridging this gap by reporting the electrical conductivity measurements of sets...

  • TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY, THAT IS THE QUESTION

    Creator:
    Oster, Sidney C.
    Abstract:
    The “why” of any situation is one of the most important questions to ask. Inventors have ideas every day. Some ideas are the brilliant ideas that lead to a better tomorrow. To protect these ideas, inventors turn to patents, a governmental grant of the right to stop others, for a...

  • Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Knowlton, John
    Abstract:
    The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

  • Through the Eyes of Five: Combating Pandemic Amnesia Through the Collection and Preservation of COVID-19 Stories

    Creator:
    Celaya, Alanna
    Abstract:
    The 1918-1919 influenza pandemic led to a phenomenon termed as pandemic amnesia. It is apparent that the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a disturbingly similar pattern. My thesis investigated the prevalence and perils of pandemic amnesia in the context of COVID-19. I explored this issue through a review of scholarly literature...

  • Tracing the Pacific Islander Diaspora in the Pacific Northwest

    Creator:
    Yarbrough, Nicole
    Abstract:
    The Pacific Islander diaspora in the Pacific Northwest United States is a unique community characterized by diverse cultures, experiences, and motivations for migration. This study aimed to explore the narratives of individuals from different Pacific Islander backgrounds residing in Oregon, shedding light on their reasons for migration and the impact...

  • Investigation of the Effects of Commercial Salmon Fishery Management in Upper Cook Inlet, Alaska

    Creator:
    Fleming-Craig, Danielle
    Abstract:
    Optimal commercial fishery management sustains each salmon species' population while maximizing economic benefits. This thesis addresses two questions. What are the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's and the Board of Fisheries' intentions when conducting a fishery management plan in Upper Cook Inlet? How does it compare to its implementation?...

  • Never Man Enough: Aggrieved Entitlement and Weaponized Insecurity in White American Men

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Riese C.
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the recent evolution of aggrieved entitlement and social fragility in young white American males and the subsequent violent backlash that certain individuals in this group have unleashed upon women, the LGBTQ community, Jewish people, Black people, and other socially vulnerable populations. Throughout the past decade, America at...

  • Monitoring Onion Thrips Response to Insecticide Agri-Mek SC in the Treasure Valley of Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho

    Creator:
    Flores Elizondo, Dennet
    Abstract:
    Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) are pests found in onion fields of the Treasure Valley, which is located in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho. Thrips cause damage to this high value crop by feeding on the onion’s extracellular fluid, making photosynthesis more difficult to occur. The feeding from the thrips can...

    Creator:
    Jayawickrama, Clare
    Abstract:
    Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...
