  • The Alexander polynomial

    Creator:
    Scherich, Nancy
    Abstract:
    The Alexander polynomial is a well understood classical knot invariant with interesting symmetry properties and recent applications in knot Floer homology. There are many different ways to compute the Alexander polynomial, some involving algebraic techniques and others more geometric or combinatorial approaches. This is an interesting example of how different...

  • Verifying safe use of a thinner aluminum scattering chamber for fission physics

    Creator:
    Porter, Eben, Jr.
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes calculations done to determine the radiation hazard of the current Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) scattering chamber at the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) and compare it to the amount that would be given off by a new thin-walled chamber design. These calculations were completed with...

  • Wind ramp prediction

    Creator:
    Alexander, Chianna M.
    Abstract:
    The number of wind turbines and wind farms in the Pacific Northwest has increased dramatically in the past six years, which represents a significant amount of electrical generation capacity connected to the public electric grid. However, the variable nature of wind sometimes introduces excessive power, or conversely shortages, in power...

  • A second look at Alexander Pope and Newtonian science

    Creator:
    Reid, Tim S.
    Abstract:
    "This Long Disease, My Life": Alexander Pope and the Sciences by Marjorie Nicolson and G.S. Rousseau has been the standard work on Alexander Pope and Newtonian science ever since it was published in 1968. Literary scholars and biographers continue to be swayed by its influence. Unfortunately, the work they so...

  • Efficacy of Cultural Practices for Mitigating the Negative Impacts of Grapevine Red Blotch Virus on Vine Physiology and Fruit Composition in Oregon Pinot Noir

    Creator:
    Copp, Cody R.
    Abstract:
    The recently emerged Grapevine Red Botch Virus (GRBV) impedes proper berry ripening primarily by reducing sugar accumulation and color development in red-fruited Vitis vinifera L. cultivars. To date, there is no recommended management strategy for virus spread or the impacts of the disease beyond removal and replacement of infected vines....

  • Gas ratio and pressure effects on the 6328 A⁰ transition of the helium-neon gas laser

    Creator:
    Freytag, Edwin Karl
    Abstract:
    This is a review paper of current literature in the area of pressure effects on gaseous lasers. This thesis discusses the mechanisms which relate the relative power output of the 6328 A[superscript ⁰] neon transition to total and partial pressure variations of the helium-neon gaseous laser. The operation of the...

  • Analysis and synthesis of exponentially tapered, nonuniform transmission line impedance transformers

    Creator:
    David, Frank Kolar
    Abstract:
    The exponentially tapered, nonuniform transmission' line, applied as an impedance transformer, is analyzed and modified. The analysis develops an expression for the input reflection coefficient that has the magnitude and phase as distinct functions. This allows ease in comparing the approximate and exact solutions and in developing the S-parameters for...

  • Instrumentation system for high speed data sampling of electrical machinery

    Creator:
    Brisbine, Glen Edward
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to develop criteria for a data acquisition system for electrical machinery capable of sampling a signal every 0.2 msec with a desired accuracy of 0.1%. The system to be measured includes both AC and DC voltage and current signals from several points. The main...

  • Microstrips on gold-doped silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Lai, Cheng-wen
    Abstract:
    The power dissipation of microstrip transmission-line on gold-doped silicon substrates was investigated. The gold-doping was applied to a regular n-type silicon substrate with resistivity of 5 to 10 ohm-cm. Insertion-loss tests were employed to measure the power dissipation of the microstrips. Power dissipation somewhat less than that for intrinsic silicon...
