  • A Generalized Scheme for Creating Regge Calculus Models of General Relativity

    Creator:
    Hanson, Ben R.
    Abstract:
    Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...

  • A Study of Charging Behaviors in Organic Semiconductors using Optical Trapping

    Creator:
    Founds, Graham M.
    Abstract:
    We measure the charging and discharging of two organic materials, PCBM and ADT-TES-F. These materials are studied through the noncontact method of particle trapping known as Optical Tweezers, where an IR laser is used to constrain the motion of a coated or noncoated silica sphere while its positional data is...

  • Analysis of boscalid resistance of isolates of Botrytis cinerea

    Creator:
    Villanueva, Brenda
    Abstract:
    Succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) inhibitor fungicides, such as boscalid, are effective for the management of gray mold caused by the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Unfortunately, resistance to boscalid was common among isolates of the pathogen from small fruits grown in Oregon. Boscalid-resistance is commonly associated with mutations in Sdh, especially in...

  • Brewing in the Medieval Period - How Beer and Ale Developed into a Commercial Industry

    Creator:
    Abbott, Marshall
    Abstract:
    This article analyzes how this transition occurred and what significant developments took place that allowed beer and ale to become a tradable and profitable good on the European market. Specifically, it examines the development of brewing as a tripartite progression: (a) that beer and ale were brewed in the 3...

  • Chiral Topological Defects in Nematic Liquid Crystals and Classical Field Theories

    Creator:
    Douglas, Brennan
    Abstract:
    A great variety of topologically protected defects exist in ordinary and exotic states of matter. Some of them are promising candidates for technological applications such as magnetic memory or quantum computers. Others possess some properties of elementary particles that could lead to potential applications in quantum fields. Nematic liquid crystals...

  • Comparison of the Accuracy and Applicability of Forebody Wake Effect Models for Parachute System Design

    Creator:
    Kemling, Gabriel H. and Blunck, David L.
    Abstract:
    The forebody wake effect (FWE) is important to consider when designing parachute systems because it can affect parachute performance. Parachutes work by altering the aerodynamic properties of an attached forebody to control a descent. The FWE can reduce parachute drag, causing the system to descend faster than desired. This drag...

  • Detecting Nanohertz Gravitational Waves by Searching for and Timing Millisecond Pulsars

    Creator:
    Nye, Brandon J.
    Abstract:
    Detecting gravitational waves is a topic at the forefront of physics. The first gravitational wave was detected by LIGO in 2015. This wave had a frequency in the 10s of Hz. This project is focused on detecting gravitational waves on the nanohertz spectrum using a pulsar timing array. This array...

  • Detection of exciton polaritons in organic thin film TES-ADT

    Creator:
    Haas, David P.
    Abstract:
    Exciton polaritons are quasiparticles composed of a quantum superposition of matter and light states that arises from the coupling of a standing wave photon and an exciton. This research has two primary objectives: to design and fabricate a Fabry-Perot microcavity system in which to produce exciton polaritons; and to show...

  • Effect of Solar System Models on Pulsar Timing Experiments

    Creator:
    Nicolaysen, Cooper
    Abstract:
    Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy is a key ingredient in confirming Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and showing how the universe sends ripples through spacetime, distorting distances between two points. The confirmation of high-frequency GWs observed by The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 was a breakthrough in our understanding...
