  • Persistence of Populations in Environments with an Interface

    Creator:
    Rekow, James A.
    Abstract:
    We model a fish population in a spatial region comprising a marine protected area and a fishing ground separated by an interface. The model assumes conservation of biomass density and takes the form of a reaction diffusion equation with a logistic reaction term. At the interface, in addition to continuity...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • The energy extraction performance of an oscillating rigid and flexible foil

    Creator:
    Totpal, Alexander D.
    Abstract:
    The aerodynamic performance of an oscillating pitching and plunging foil operating in the energy harvesting mode is investigated. Experiments are conducted in a closed-loop recirculating wind tunnel at Reynolds numbers of 24,000 to 48,000, and reduced frequencies (k = fc/u) of 0.042 to 0.083. Foil kinematics are varied through the...

  • Microwave methods of measuring resistivity of gallium arsenide

    Creator:
    Quinn, Alexander C.
    Abstract:
    This paper is concerned with the determination of gallium arsenide resistivity by measurement of attenuation of microwave energy at 7500 megacycles transmitted through a slice. The first section of this paper describes gallium arsenide properties as compared to silicon, germanium, silicon carbide, and diamond. A description is then given of...

  • Analysis of single-channel maintenance costs

    Creator:
    Paul, Alexander
    Abstract:
    This thesis is a study of certain costs relevant to the repair of process line equipment. A specific production configuration is studied through computer simulation and statistics. The significance of the simulated costs are investigated and related to practical production problems. Costs relevant to the "permanent repair" of production equipment...
