  • 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...

  • Introducing the OPEnS HUB 2.0 - A Versatile, In situ, Remote, Sensor Hub

    Creator:
    DeBell, Thomas C., Goertzen, Luke, Selker, John, and Udell, Chet
    Abstract:
    Research in geoscience often requires transmission of significant amounts of data from remote locations. The emergence of microcontrollers and open-source sensors are allowing connectivity to affordable, distributed in-situ monitoring. This report describes the OPEnS Hub, a modular data hub orders of magnitude cheaper than commercial dataloggers when scaled to multiple...

  • Antioxidant Effects of Blackberry Pomace on the Health of Transition Dairy Cows

    Creator:
    Estenson, Kaelyn A.
    Abstract:
    Blackberry pomace (BBP), a byproduct from juice processing, is often disposed of in landfills. We propose BBP as an antioxidant-rich feed supplement for transition dairy cows. To explore the effects of BBP on antioxidant status, 24 multiparous dairy cows (5 Holstein and 19 Jersey) were assigned randomly to one of...

  • The Current Impact of Title IX in the Pac-12 Conference: Who Really Benefits?

    Creator:
    Morgenthaler, Lauren S.
    Abstract:
    Title IX has increased opportunities for women academically and athletically. This research assessed the impact that Title IX has had in the Pac-12 Conference in the development of women’s intercollegiate athletics within the male-dominated world of sports and how female and male athletes have been impacted by Title IX implementation....

  • Shoulder and elbow non-time loss injuries in baseball and softball PAC-12 athletes

    Creator:
    Wallace, Isella
    Abstract:
    There has been an extensive amount of information and research circulated regarding baseball injuries in both the shoulder and elbow, though there has been a lack of research on female softball athletes who have the same injuries. The purpose of this paper is to compare baseball and softball shoulder and...

  • Melting Curve of a Lennard-Jones 12-6 System Determined by Coexistence Point Simulations

    Creator:
    Geerhart, Billy Edward III
    Abstract:
    This project calculates the melting temperature as a function of pressure for a system defined by the Lennard-Jones 12-6 potential using molecular dynamic simulations. In a single atomistic simulation, the initial conditions are manipulated such that both a liquid and solid phase exist when thermal equilibrium is reached. Phase coexistence...

  • Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

    Creator:
    Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
    Abstract:
    This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...

  • Effect of Fire Severity on Forest Development in a Mature Douglas-fir Forest in Western Oregon

    Creator:
    Hidzick, Maxim S.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires can create alternative pathways for forest development, and wildfires have expanded in size, frequency, intensity, and severity across the western United States. The purpose of this paper is to compare forest development of a mature Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon across fire severities. Postburn field measurements were collected in...
