Research on Voter Turnout & Voter ID Laws at the County Level

Creator:: Bannan, Breanna
Abstract:: The idea for this research projected stemmed from research I conducted during my Economics 439: Public Policy course. This research project examines the idea of Voter Identification Laws and Regulations and their effect on voter turnout and participation in the United States of America. I previously found that economists studied...

The Economic Path Dependency of Foreign Extraction Duration: Why Colonialism Still Matters

Creator:: Kemp, Duncan S.
Abstract:: Foreign occupation and extraction have arguably existed since the very emergence of interstate conflict millennia ago. Yet despite humanity’s vast experience on the topic, we know surprisingly little about its long-term economic consequences. It is generally accepted by most that the extraction of resources by a foreign power tends to...

Understanding change: surface manipulative-activities as a tool for addressing student difficulties in thermodynamics

Creator:: Siegel, Reese R.
Abstract:: Multivariable functions permeate physics, mathematics, and other sciences. Understanding how quantities in multivariable relationships change together – or co-vary – is important for studying physical systems. In this project, we asked junior-level physics majors to describe the covariation of quantities in a multivariable context given a 2D graph. We identified...

Developing a Learning Progression on Units and Dimensions by Dustin Treece

Creator:: Treece, Dustin
Abstract:: Units and dimensions are seldom addressed formally in science classrooms, despite being one of the most fundamental and ubiquitous tools available to scientists. Even worse, science and engineering graduates are often moving into careers without fundamentally understanding units and their importance, leading to struggles in developing scientific literacy and to...

Optical Tweezer Trapping of Colloidal Polystyrene and Silica Microspheres

Creator:: Peters, Kyle C.
Abstract:: Optical trapping is a tool used throughout a wide variety of disciplines rang- ing from precisely probing and manipulating sub-micron organisms in biol- ogy to analyzing fundamental charge transfer in colloidal physics. This thesis presents research involving optical tweezer force measurements of polystyrene and silica microspheres. In addition, preliminary work...

Monitoring Onion Thrips Response to Insecticide Agri-Mek SC in the Treasure Valley of Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho

Creator:: Flores Elizondo, Dennet
Abstract:: Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) are pests found in onion fields of the Treasure Valley, which is located in Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho. Thrips cause damage to this high value crop by feeding on the onion’s extracellular fluid, making photosynthesis more difficult to occur. The feeding from the thrips can...

Study of Organic Semiconductors Using Time-Resolved Charge Measurements at the Microscale

Creator:: Wallace, Richard
Abstract:: Understanding charge transfer in organic semiconductors is important for developing devices like organic light emitting diodes and flexible electronics. Optical tweezers have been used in many disciplines for trapping, manipulating, and analyzing microscopic objects such as microspheres, micro-organisms, and other colloidal particles. Using optical tweezers, studies have measured the average...

High Field Terahertz Spectroscopy of Optically Excited Gallium Arsenide

Creator:: Compeau, James
Abstract:: High field time-domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDS) is used to determine the time dependent transmission and the time-delay and optical-power dependent conductivity of a wafer of gallium arsenide (GaAs). Gallium arsenide is a direct band-gap semiconductor and has potential as a computer processor component. Analysis of the transmission of terahertz (THz)...

A Needs Assessment of Social Emotional Learning Integration in Pre-College STEM Education at OSU

Creator:: Rodriguez Cardoso, Metzin A.
Abstract:: STEM education is delivered to K12 audiences by Pre-college Programs across the nation, many of which serve underrepresented and underserved students as part of their core missions. While there is robust attention to STEM curriculum development and college connection events in such programs, few have social-cultural aspects of learning as...

Early Prediction of Student Performance using Neural Networks: An exploratory study on the efficacy of a neural network model at predicting students’ final grades in a flipped classroom environment

Creator:: Bailey, Derrick
Abstract:: With the unique conceptual and mathematical backgrounds of every introductory physics student, there is no way to design a rigid curriculum that anticipates and meets every student’s needs. We can employ machine learning to explore the correlations that exist in the voluminous data from educational settings. That is, institutional, gradebook,...
