In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are computationally represented, generated, and evaluated. The organic linker molecules are represented as graphs and use graph grammars where the atoms are represented by nodes and the bonds are represented by arcs. The grammar rules that dictate the graph generation process work on the...
Pesticides benefit agriculture by increasing crop yield, quality, and security. However, pesticides may inadvertently harm bees, which are valuable as pollinators. Thus, candidate pesticides in development pipelines must be assessed for toxicity to bees.
Leveraging a data set of 382 molecules with toxicity labels from honey bee exposure experiments, we...
By using continued fractions the set of positive
irrationals can be put in one to one correspondence
with the set of sequences of positive integers. The
entries of an arbitrary sequence of integers can be any
subset of Z and each integer appearing can occur once,
infinitly often, or anything...
Participation in regular physical activity is important for individuals with a mobility disability to decrease risk of chronic disease, improve quality of life, and maintain and improve functional ability. Consequently, there is a need for programs that can facilitate the adoption and maintenance of regular physical activity for adults with...

In this thesis, data collected during the Dynamics of the Madden Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) field campaign, conducted in the Indian Ocean in Fall of 2011, is used to compute heat fluxes at the air-sea interface by evaluating eddy covariances and bulk aerodynamic formulae. Errors in daily average gridded fluxes computed...
An attempt was made to differentiate between runs of steelhead by comparing the reassociations of their DNA. Conditions for the reassociation were studied using E. coli DNA, and observations
were made spectrophotometrically. Of the five buffers examined, 1.0 molar sodium perchlorate plus one-hundredth molar tris-HCl, pH 7.1, at 60° or...
This paper records a study of two quadratic number fields. In the first field, denoted by Ra[[square root] 11], the unique factorization theorem holds. In the second field, denoted by Ra[[square root] 10], it is demonstrated that the unique factorization theorem does not hold and therefore ideals are introduced to...
Within Oregon there is considerable interest in the possibility of converting woody biomass to energy. This interest stems from three converging factors: the desire to reduce the threat of uncharacteristic wildfire by removing excess material from the forests, the possibility to stimulate rural economies that are dependent on forest products,...
