The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

Creator:: Im, Eun Ho
Abstract:: This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities. A carbon tax program, as a mitigation option for...

Improving the post-thaw processing of cryopreserved red blood cells using a combined approach of mathematical modeling and microfluidics

Creator:: Lusianti, Ratih E.
Abstract:: This study lays the groundwork on potential techniques that could be employed to improve the post-thaw wash processing of cryopreserved human red blood cells. Transfusion of red blood cells is one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical medicine. Millions of red blood cell units are transfused to patients...

The effects of ocean variability and breaking waves on wave energy converter reliability and survivability

Creator:: Brown, Adam
Abstract:: The reliability and survivability of a wave energy converter (WEC) is highly dependent on the variability and non-linearity of the ocean itself. Ocean variability occurs on many time scales. Climate variability occurs decade-to-decade, and year-to-year in the number and intensity of winter storms. Seasonal variation of wave height and period...

Modeling rate-limited processes along non-uniform surfaces via the method of volume averaging

Creator:: Lambert, Adam
Abstract:: Quantification of macroscale transport phenomenon in microfluidic systems is important to many science and engineering disciplines. In part, this is because fully resolved solutions to microscale balance laws over large domains are out of reach with current computational technology. Additionally, engineers are most often interested in some upscaled quantity and...

Structure and Actuation of Cephalopod-Inspired Soft Robots

Creator:: Olson, Gina M.
Abstract:: Cephalopod-inspired soft robot arms have been studied as a new type of manipulator. These arms have been proposed for reach and grab tasks, underwater locomotion via swimming and walking, and robotic surgery. However, the capabilities of existing soft arms are limited to simple motions and light loads. Arm design has...

Extracorporeal Treatment of Hyperuricemia via Enzymatic Functionalized Microchannel Processing Platform (iCore): Experiment and Modeling

Creator:: Pantakitcharoenkul, Jaturavit
Abstract:: Hyperuricemia is the condition of excessive presence of plasma uric acid ≥ 6 mg/dl. Conventional clinical/hospital urate-lowering treatment includes the administration of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs or xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Numerous drawbacks can be observed from these conventional treatments. In patients with refractory gout symptoms and tumor lysis syndrome, recombinant uricase...

The fluvial response to glacial-interglacial climate change in the Pacific Northwest, USA

Creator:: VanLaningham, Sam J.
Abstract:: This research focuses on the development of new techniques to explore terrestrial-ocean climate linkages along the Pacific Northwest-northeast Pacific Ocean margin. This is done by investigating river response to climate change and by unraveling this history preserved in continental margin sediments. A significant component of this work centers on developing...

Engineering an Ex-Vivo System to Study Transport Phenomena in the Human Intervertebral Disc

Creator:: Shalash, Ward
Abstract:: Back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, entailing a significant socioeconomic impact. A primary source of back pain can be attributed to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration allowing nerve ingrowth, facet joint arthritis, disc bulging, and osteophyte formations that press on nearby nerve roots or the spinal cord. While...

Microfluidic Investigations of Capillary Flow and Surface Phenomena in Porous Polymeric Media for 3D Printing

Creator:: Donovan, Katrina J.
Abstract:: The advent of 3D Printing has invigorated research into metamaterials, synthetic composite material that produce properties generally not found in natural materials, requiring further studies into understanding the fundamental properties of these materials. This dissertation proposes a novel imaging technique to investigate the surface interactions occurring in an unsaturated packed...

Examining Discrimination, HIV/AIDS Conspiracy Beliefs, and Condom Use Among a Diverse Sample of Young Adults

Creator:: Dowhower, Daniel P.
Abstract:: Racial/ethnic discrimination and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs may contribute to disparities in use and satisfaction with healthcare services and engaging in safer sex practices. Previous studies that examined racial/ethnic discrimination and HIV/AIDS conspiracy beliefs focused primarily on African Americans with few studies focusing on Latinos. This study used longitudinal data from...
