  • David Hume and the Paradox of Taste

    Creator:
    Chi, Erik
    Abstract:
    David Hume’s resolution of the paradox of taste poses an interesting question for us to ponder. Rather than take a purely subjectivist or objectivist view of the topic, Hume strikes a balance between the two positions by upholding two of three statements regarding taste that are widely held to be...

  • The Auteur Perspective of David Fincher

    Creator:
    Kitamura, Garrett
    Abstract:
    Director David Fincher’s films contain many distinct elements that set his work apart, but one of the most instantly recognizable elements is his visual style – specifically, his camerawork. The level of control and purposefulness that Fincher exhibits in his films qualify Fincher as the auteur, or “author,” of his...

  • Investigating Local Energy Compensation of Adjacent RNA Secondary Structures in the bpRNA-1m Database

    Creator:
    Cornwell-Arquitt, Robert L.
    Abstract:
    Non-coding ribonucleic acid (ncRNA) is of interest for its diverse roles in cell and viral biology. RNA molecules vary greatly in terms of size, structure, and function. In recent years, the modification of existing RNA structures has been used for biochemical methods of enormous impact including CRISPR and RNAi methods....

  • 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...

  • Rethinking Welfare-to-Work: A Microsimulation Exploring the Impact of a Working Families Tax Credit on Oregon Poverty

    Creator:
    Richards, Jaxon
    Abstract:
    The State of Oregon possesses a tumultuous relationship with the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and currently experiences one of the lowest participation rates in the country despite attempting several policy reforms. The State of Washington has exhibited a comparatively similar relationship. However, it has adopted a distinctive policy supplementation...

  • The contact value approximation to the pair distribution function for an inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid

    Creator:
    Lurie-Gregg, Paho
    Abstract:
    We construct the contact value approximation (CVA) for the pair distribution function, g(²)(r₁, r₂), for an inhomogeneous hard sphere fluid. The CVA is an average of two radial distribution functions, which each take as input the distance between the particles, |r₂ −r₁|, and the average value of the radial distribution...

    Creator:
    Kenny, Kimberly
    Abstract:
    China’s global influence in the realm of science and technology (S&T) has increased dramatically in recent times. China and the United States are now each other’s main partner in scientific collaboration. As a major research university, OSU is one of the institutions with a large stake in this international collaboration....

  • Wavelength Dependence of the Scattering of Small Particles by Sunlight

    Creator:
    Bain, Scott A.
    Abstract:
    This project calculates the value of β for ice particles based on wavelength dependent values of their refractive and absorptive indices. β is the ratio of the force due to radiation to the force due to gravity acting on a particle in the solar system. This parameter can later be...

  • 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...
