  • Boredom, Buttons, and Booze: The Lifeways of an Enlisted Soldier Stationed at Fort Hoskins (35BE15), Oregon

    Creator:
    James, Shane P.
    Abstract:
    In 1976-77 and 2010, Oregon State University (OSU) excavated portions of the enlisted men’s barracks and privy at Fort Hoskins, a Civil War-era fort. In operation from 1856 to 1865, this fort served as part of a security network to protect and monitor the recently created Coast Indian Reservation. The...

  • Potential of a fungus, Acremonium sp., to decolorize pulp mill effluent

    Creator:
    Lesley, Dawn
    Abstract:
    This project explored the feasibility of using fungi in a constructed wetland for the treatment of pulp mill effluent. The effluent is high in dissolved lignins (some of which are chlorinated), which have proven very difficult to degrade biologically. Mindful of work done with the (terrestrial) white rot fungi, especially...

  • A Micro Scale Magnetic Particle Imaging System

    Creator:
    Lenox, Philip A.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a biomedical imaging technique which detects the presence of magnetic nanoparticles which have been introduced into the specimen prior to imaging. MPI has shown promise for real-time imaging with spatial resolution comparable to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MPI research has focused predominantly on the development...

  • Willamette Mission Archeological Project : Phase III Assessment

    Creator:
    Weber, Mary K. (Mary Kathryn)
    Abstract:
    The Willamette Mission archeological project consists of a broad program of cultural research in the fields of archeology, history, and architecture. The study focuses on the first Methodist mission in the Pacific Northwest. Archeological excavations were conducted in 1980 to locate the site of the mission, to assess the site's...

  • A Computational Investigation of Natural Circulation Effects on Heat Transfer Coefficient and Friction Factor

    Creator:
    Buskirk, John
    Abstract:
    The nuclear industry has shown a large interest in natural circulation driven passive cooling systems following the Fukushima nuclear accident. Despite this interest, there is no widely used heat transfer correlation or friction factor correlation developed for natural circulation driven flow. A CFD analysis including grid convergence testing using Fluent...

  • The design of delta-sigma modulators for multi-standard RF receivers

    Creator:
    Liu, Mingliang
    Abstract:
    The transition from second-generation (2G) to third-generation (3G) wireless cellular and cordless telephone systems requires multi-standard adaptability in a single RF receiver equipment. An important answer to this request is the use of Delta-Sigma modulators for IF-to-baseband conversion, which will satisfy the dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and...

  • Solids movement in a tube-filled fluidized bed

    Creator:
    Deaton, William W.
    Abstract:
    Mixing of ferrite tracer with silica sand was studied in a 0.91 m x 0.91 m cold fluidized bed. Inductance probes located Inside dummy heat transfer tubes [in a 4 x 4 x 4 array] were used to monitor a ferrite tracer with physical properties similar to coal as it...

  • Influence of dissolved oxygen concentration and swimming velocity on food consumption and growth of juvenile Coho salmon

    Creator:
    Hutchins, Floyd E.
    Abstract:
    Laboratory studies were conducted on the food consumption, growth, and bioenergetics of juvenile coho salmon (Oncoynchus kisutch) held at various swimming velocities and dissolved oxygen concentrations at 15 C. Food consumption and growth of salmon fed to repletion on housefly larvae (Mus domesticus) were reduced by increasing activity at and...

  • Physical vapor deposition of novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Waters, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    Current leading thin-film solar cell technologies, i.e., cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), employ elements which are either toxic (Cd), or rare and/or expensive (In, Te, Ga, and Cd). The aim of this thesis is to investigate new, abundant, non-toxic p-type semiconductors for potential solar absorber application....
