  • Fabrication and low-temperature measurement of quantum devices

    Creator:
    Nichols, Dublin M.
    Abstract:
    Since the advent of graphene, research on 2D materials has exploded. Countless experiments have uncovered novel properties that emerge when different layered crystals are cleaved down to only a few atomic layers in thickness. The most popular of these non-graphene 2D materials is MoS2, a semiconductor which has been of...

  • Photodimerization of Organic Semiconductors in the Strong Coupling Regime

    Creator:
    Puro, Richard
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconducting materials have emerged in the last few decades as viable alternatives to inorganics in broad applications from field effect transistors to LEDs to solar cells. Organics provide many benefits over inorganics such as flexibility, sustainability, and reduced cost. However, these materials are more susceptible to degradation in the...

  • The Impact of Housing First on Homeless Housing and Mental Health Outcomes

    Creator:
    Foster, Kevin H.
    Abstract:
    This paper is a literature review and analysis of the housing policy known as Housing First. Under said policy, homeless individuals are housed prior to requisite addiction and mental health services. The literature encompasses multiple randomized controlled trials, as well as broader observational studies on Permanent Supportive Housing. The studies...

  • Examining Suicide Risk Factors for Youth: A Focus on Black Student Needs

    Creator:
    Chupp, Colson D.
    Abstract:
    Objective: In 2018, suicide was the leading cause of death for individuals between the ages of 10-24 in Oregon (OHA, 2019) and was the second leading cause of death for this age range in 2020 (OHA, 2021). In 2019, 12% of Black high school students reported a suicide attempt in...

  • Beating the curve: insulin sensitization in response to exercise

    Creator:
    Murphy, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a brief discussion on the phenomenon of exercise-induced insulin sensitization, including the effects of exercise on insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and potential mechanisms mediating these effects. Originally created for KIN 481 (Writing Intensive Curriculum course).

  • 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...

    Creator:
    Wennstrom, Elena
    Abstract:
    A new class at Oregon State, PH 317: Experimental Physics, is designed to simulate a traditional laboratory research experience for undergraduate students. Several weeks of the class is devoted to Brownian motion experiments. Although this is a common topic for undergraduate lab classes, the experiment still needed some basic exploration...

  • Fungal endophytes as source to combat bacterial infections

    Creator:
    Green, Jaimie R
    Abstract:
    Endophytes, foliage inhabiting fungi, are an unexplored source of fungal biodiversity and a potential resource for the production of bioactive natural products. In this research, leaf tissues from the species Arbutus menziesii, Rhododendron macrophyllum and the genus, Ilex and Salix were collected for the isolation of endophytic fungi. Fungal extracts...

  • Religion as a Common Sense Category

    Creator:
    Harrington, Scott T.
    Abstract:
    In the field of religious studies, it is common to separate meta theories about the concept of religion itself into two equally problematic categories that both make claims about the truth of religious doctrine. This is done by attempting to define religion by historically excluding non-Christian religious traditions from the...

    Ahmad, Amir
    Abstract:
    The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018, has observed that the trend of the world’s marine fish stocks has been overexploited, depleted, and has exhibited decreasing trend within the fraction of biologically sustainable levels. While these situations are an alarming...
