A Generalized Scheme for Creating Regge Calculus Models of General Relativity

Creator:: Hanson, Ben R.
Abstract:: Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...

The Social Safety Net and Child Poverty in Oregon

Creator:: Koch, Dillon A.
Abstract:: The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) is the newest method to paint a more accurate picture of the scope of poverty in the United States than the Official Poverty Measure (OPM). In doing so, the SPM includes many sources of income, including income from work and in-kind government supplemental policies. The...

Associations between state alcohol tax policies and college sexual assault offenses

Creator:: Killion, Rebecca
Abstract:: Previous literature consistently demonstrates a link between binge drinking and sexual assault among college students. State alcohol control policies, particularly tax policies, are established as important predictors of college binge drinking but have not been examined in relation to sexual assault. This study used merged data on student demographics and...

Effects of Dilution on Turbulent Consumption Speeds of Jet Fuel

Creator:: Walters, Ian
Abstract:: Combustion systems for transportation applications typically use large hydrocarbon fuels in turbulent premixed or partially premixed environments. Combustion products can enter the reaction region through natural recirculation or combustion control mechanisms. The objective of this study is to characterize how dilution by combustion products affects the turbulent consumption speed for...

Comparing the autoignition performance of chemical kinetic models for toluene using data extracted from the literature

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan
Abstract:: Real transportation fuels contain a wide range of hydrocarbon species, and this complexity poses challenges for modeling. Surrogates with a simpler blend of hydrocarbon reference fuels can approximate the physical and chemical characteristics of real fuels and enable practical simulation of the reacting flows that occur in engines and combustors....

Regulation of Microtubule Dynamics by Engineered Kinesin-14 Motors

Creator:: Eagen, Emily
Abstract:: Microtubules (MT) are highly dynamic cylindrical-like structures within cells whose growth is controlled by motor proteins, a class of biological machines that walk along the MT while simultaneously regulating MT growth. Here we are interested in the behavior of kinesin-14 motor proteins. Although processive behavior of kinesin-14 motors has been...

Using 16S rRNA Gene Amplicon Sequencing and quantitative PCR (qPCR) to Evaluate Microbial Community and Pathogen Dynamics in Acropora cervicornis Corals

Creator:: Patel, Shalvi H.
Abstract:: Coral reefs are diverse ecosystems and serve many purposes including preventing erosion on coastlines and acting as a source of food, income, and culture. Acropora cervicornis, a staghorn coral, has faced a significant 80-89% decline in the Caribbean, attributed to a poorly-characterized epizootic, White Band Disease (WBD). Previous studies showed...

An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

TEDxOregonStateU : An Effort to Create Positive Academic, Professional, and Personal Disruption

Creator:: LaVigne, Aaron
Abstract:: This thesis explores the process of the creation of TEDxOregonStateU, a TEDx event held on the Oregon State campus on February 12, 2015. TED Conferences, created to share “Ideas Worth Spreading”, created the TEDx Program as a platform to allow for individuals to collaborate in the creation of independently organized...

Who supports the legalization of marijuana? The impact of liberalism and age on attitudes surrounding legalization of recreational marijuana

Creator:: Koll, Aiden
Abstract:: In an era of political polarization, the possibility of the legalization of recreational marijuana has become a popular topic of controversy. While a few states have passed general legislation, the vast majority still prohibit recreational use. In the interest of understanding why there are so many differences between the states,...
