Design, construction, and characterization of a prompt gamma activation analysis facility at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor

Creator:: Robinson, Joshua A.
Abstract:: In this work a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) facility has been designed, built, and characterized at the Oregon State University TRIGA® reactor. PGNAA is a technique used to determine the presence and quantity of trace elements such as boron, hydrogen and carbon which are more difficult to detect...

Do Family Risk Classes Predict Attrition in Parent Child Interaction Therapy?

Creator:: Hartman, Grace M.
Abstract:: Child behavior disorders are the second most prevalent form of mental illness affecting children in the United States (Perou et al., 2013), with lifetime prevalence estimated at 10% (Nock, Kazdin, Hiripi & Kessler, 2007). Negative outcomes associated with ODD during childhood and adolescence include conflict in families, poor peer relationships,...

Mechanical characterization of a simple gel in a prototype device that models a degenerative intervertebral disc

Creator:: Cenar, Yannick
Abstract:: A large part of low-back pain occurrences are due to disc herniation or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus. An alternative technique to existing treatments of low back pain includes nucleus pulposus replacement by an artificial material to relieve pain and restore normal function. To date, there has been a deficiency...

Characterization of the near-field flow structure of an acoustically self-excited jet in a large enclosure using particle image velocimetry (PIV)

Creator:: Tobias, Jason A.
Abstract:: An experimental study of the near-field flow structure produced by an incompressible turbulent Acoustically Self-Excited Jet (ASEJ) in a large enclosure using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is presented. The salient feature of this jet is that it provides an increase in near-field mixing and turbulence without additional external power input....

James Baldwin's Pedagogy of Love: A Method for Transforming American Political Thinking and Pedagogy in the Academy

Creator:: Saleem, Ikhzaan
Abstract:: My thesis examines how the American identity is constructed through thinking shaped by deception and domination, as James Baldwin argues in the corpus of his work. I rely on the work of Eddie Glaude Jr., Sean Kim Butorac, and Joel Schlosser to forward love in Baldwin’s political vision as being...

Basin-scale variation in the spatial pattern of fall movement of juvenile coho salmon in the West Fork Smith River, Oregon

Creator:: Hance, Dalton J.
Abstract:: from the summer dry season to the winter wet season. Such movement that connects summer and winter habitats may be particularly important for coho salmon, O. kisutch, because availability of overwintering habitat can limit freshwater survival for this species. Here, I describe basin-scale variability in the spatial pattern of fall...

Retrospective thermal neutron fluence determination using lithium-ion mobile telephone batteries

Creator:: Dorrell, Nick J.
Abstract:: Fortuitous dosimeters are radiosensitive objects carried by an individual who was exposed to radiation. These objects can be analyzed some time after exposure and the results can be used to aid in calculating radiation fields and doses received by individuals. Items that make good fortuitous dosimeters are those that are...

Responses of foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii) larvae to an introduced predator

Creator:: Paoletti, David J.
Abstract:: The consequences of species introductions into non-native habitats are a major cause of concern in the U.S. An introduced species may alter native habitats, cause economic damage, compete with natives for resources or prey on them. Of particular interest are the effects of predation by introduced fishes on native amphibians....

Controlling Important Pathogens in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) : Assessing Cryopreservation Survival of Bacteria and Parasites and Clinical Sensitivity of Mycobacterial qPCR Assays

Creator:: Norris, Lauren J.
Abstract:: Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are one of the most commonly used animal models in biomedical research. Zebrafish resource facilities, like the Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) in Eugene, Oregon, are the main providers and keepers of numerous zebrafish wild-type, mutant, and transgenic lines. Although ZIRC maintains live zebrafish at various life...

Source identification of fecal pollution in the Tillamook watershed : antibiotic discriminant analysis

Creator:: Bower, Robert J.
Abstract:: The identification of sources of point and nonpoint fecal pollution is difficult to determine. Understanding the sources of fecal organisms in quality limited waters could greatly enhance our ability to restore and protect the water quality and habitat of these systems. Antibiotic resistance patterns of fecal streptococci bacteria were analyzed...
