“Just” Words?

Creator:: Lieberman, Aaron W.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis is to engage in a linguistic-conceptual inquiry into what it proposes might for analytical purposes be conceived—and which it hence stipulatively defines—as Applied Value Words. After constructing the conceptual framework through which to identify, and within which to characterize Applied Value Words, this thesis then...

Exploiting Diffraction Orders from a Phase Limited SLM to Remove and Model Zernike Aberrations

Creator:: Goschie, Aaron J.
Abstract:: Using a plastic bottle, we explore the capabilities of a reflective phase-only Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) in removing wavefront aberrations using a Zernike polynomial phase mask, with the modulators phase depth limited to 0.8π radians. Wavefront aberrations, which can be modeled with Zernike polynomials, distort image transmission through various optical...

Cultural Theory and Healthcare Policy Preferences

Creator:: Butler, Cyrus M.
Abstract:: This study examines healthcare policy preferences of Oregon State University students through the lens of Political Culture Theory, as pioneered by Mary Douglas and Aaron Wildavsky in the 1980’s. The primary goal of this study is to examine the impact of cultural traits as described by Political Culture Theory on...

Thermoelectric Properties of the HeterostructuralAlloy Sn_(1-x)Ca_(x)Se

Creator:: Forkner, MIchael
Abstract:: By alloying face centered cubic CaSe with orthorhombic SnSe, we created the heterostructural alloy Sn1-xCaxSe. The phase separated lms created with a high deposition temperature acted as highly crys- talline SnSe while the low deposition temperature lms acted as a mix of SnSe and CaSe. For the alloyed lms we...

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design's Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres

Creator:: Le, Vivian T.
Abstract:: The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine...

Electrical Transport Measurements on the Alloy Sn₁-ₓCaₓSe

Creator:: Stahly, Joshua
Abstract:: Hall measurements can be made on the unstudied alloy, Sn₁-ₓCaₓSe to determine its electrical transport properties. The Sn₁-ₓCaₓSe samples were made by laser deposition into thin films and have a variable of calcium concentration x. These samples are approximately 250 nm in thickness, were grown at 366° C and are...

A Comparative Study of Climate Change Policy and Actions between the United States and Sweden

Creator:: Jacobs, Annie R.
Abstract:: The issue of global climate change and possible remedies has been debated between national governments since the 1970s. While some countries have adopted aggressive measures to address the issue, others have lagged in their efforts. The United States, as a key player in global climate change conferences, has focused its...

Integrated Framework for Identifying Signal Patterns from Data Applied in a Living System

Creator:: Minniti, AnneMarie Margaret
Abstract:: Various methods, such as CUSUM charts and least square regression, exist in order to help analyze the trend of complex systems. However, the current methods are convoluted and lack accessibility for those without a strong statistical background. To address this disparity, the behavior of living systems first needs to be...

Technological Improvements in Ligation and Suturing Techniques: A Comparison in the Material Strength of Ligating Clips and Suturing Devices

Creator:: Robertson, Bria L.
Abstract:: Treatment of extrahepatic portosystemic shunts provides many options, including cellophane banding. These cellophane bands are secured with a ligation clip. Weck® offers two forms of these: the stainless steel Hemoclip, and the polymer Hem-o-lok. This in vitro study compares the mechanical strength of these two of types of clips by...

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...
