  • Ionic Strength and pH: A Look at Nanostar Stability

    Creator:
    Aldous, Tanner J. E.
    Abstract:
    Nanostars have many potential applications, particularly in biomedicine, such as drug delivery, detection assays, and even cancer treatment. Seeing how their plasmon changes in response to changes to the environment of the nanostars can give us an insight to the stability of the nanostars. Our current studies involve the effect...

  • Geotechnical characterization and drained shear strength of a limestone aggregate

    Creator:
    Knierim, Christina D.
    Abstract:
    Aggregate piers are a method of ground improvement used to increase the strength and bearing capacity of the native geological soils for the support of new civil infrastructure. The understanding of the bearing failure mechanism of aggregate piers remains largely unstudied. The effects of design variables in the failure mechanisms...

  • Partial purification of endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase I of Trichoderma reesei and use in small-scale enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose

    Creator:
    Pautsch, Lindsay
    Abstract:
    In order to reduce the cost of lignocellulosic ethanol production, a model was previously developed to predict the amount of fermentable sugar released based on parameters concerning both biomass and enzymes. To validate this model, enzymatic hydrolysis must be carried out using individual purified cellulase enzymes. Endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase I (EG I),...

  • L’auteur ou l’artiste?

    Creator:
    Fulkerson, Clara
    Abstract:
    This research paper, “ L’auteur ou l’artiste?”, examines the films of Alfred Hitchcock and their importance amongst the canon of cinema. In an analysis of his three film periods (British, Early Hollywood, and Late Hollywood), the aim of this research is to uncover the significance of the consistent inclusion of...

  • Using Stable Isotopes to Quantify Ecological Interaction Strengths

    Creator:
    Shepard, Isaac D.
    Abstract:
    Understanding ecological interaction strengths is one of the main objectives of ecology. Recently, two methods for estimating interaction strengths of predator-prey interactions in nature have been proposed: a field observation approach proposed by Novak and Wootton (2008) and stable isotope analysis. The field observation method estimates feeding rates based on...

  • An analysis of seismicity at Mt. Hood, Oregon

    Creator:
    Currie, Michelle
    Abstract:
    Mt. Hood, in north-central Oregon, has experienced 13 M ≥ 3.0 earthquakes since 1980. 1812 earthquakes that range in magnitude from -1.1 to 4.5 have been recorded in the region during the same time frame. This paper analyzes four of the larger earthquakes to provide moment tensor solutions and relocated...

  • Digit Span Ratio, Joint Laxity, and Muscular Strength as Predisposing Factors for Female ACL Injuries

    Creator:
    Cohen, Stephanie M.
    Abstract:
    Females more commonly injure their anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in athletics than do males. Despite many studies researching anatomical, neuromuscular, and hormonal causes, the predisposing risk factors behind this occurrence are currently unknown. This study compared 5 females who had injured their ACL to 15 healthy females concentrating on three...

  • Voter Displeasure: The Role of Dislike For the Opposition In the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election

    Creator:
    Schiek, Andrew
    Abstract:
    One of the surprising things about the 2016 presidential election was how much each presidential candidate was disliked. In this historic election, questions about whether voters made their decisions by supporting their candidate or voting against another have arisen. Studies have been done in the past that examine which traits...

  • Ocean Acidification Leads to Broadening of Crab Predators and Faster Predation Rate on Mussels

    Creator:
    Corliss, Katherine M., Toner, Miranda M., and Britsch, Melissa
    Abstract:
    Ocean acidification is caused by the dissolved carbon dioxide in the oceans lowering the amount of free carbonate ions. This is turn, affects the ability of calcifying organisms like mussels to build thick shells to protect against predation. Mussels are often preyed upon by both specialist crabs, like Red Rock...
