Development and evaluation of novel coupling agents for kenaf-fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

Creator:: Ren, Xiaofeng
Abstract:: Natural fibers are gaining popularity as reinforcement materials for thermoset resins over the last two decades. Natural fibers are inexpensive, abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly. Kenaf fibers are one of the natural fibers that can potentially be used for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (UPE). As a polymer matrix, UPE enjoys a...

Magnetotelluric Studies of Tectonic Systems and Volcanic Areas of North America

Creator:: Bowles-Martinez, Esteban
Abstract:: Magnetotellurics is used in two geologic settings on scales ranging from 1000-km tectonic structures to local features hundreds of meters wide. These areas are the Midcontinent Rift System (MRS) and its related mantle plume in the northern Midwestern United States and Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. The MRS study uses...

In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

Creator:: Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
Abstract:: To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...

Transcriptomic Analyses of Crop Plants using Next-Generation Sequencing Technology

Creator:: Geniza, Matthew J.
Abstract:: Advancements in molecular biology and computer science have enabled researchers the ability to investigate the transcriptome – the quantification of an organism’s RNA transcripts in response to its environment on a system wide scale. The collective chapters of this thesis utilize high-throughput RNA sequencing, which produces hundreds of millions of...

Privacy-Sensitive Robotics

Creator:: Rueben, Matthew R.
Abstract:: This dissertation focuses on personal privacy in human-robot interaction, which we call "privacy-sensitive robotics." Our understanding of "privacy" is very broad, including not just information privacy but also physical, psychological, and social privacy. We begin by surveying the scholarly literature on privacy and talking about why it applies to interactions...

Ruminal Biodegradation of Heterocyclic Toxic Compounds

Creator:: Tanaree, Dan D.
Abstract:: Cyclic nitramines are a class of compounds that include most of the commonly used explosives today. These are among the most common toxicants released into the environment as a result of human activity, generated on military ranges, battlefields, and production sites. Of these, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5- triazine (RDX) is of particular interest,...

Characterization of load transfer in wood-based composites

Creator:: Schwarzkopf, Matthew John
Abstract:: The mechanical performance of composite materials is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. Binders are commonly used to bond composite components together and to provide effective load transfer between them. In wood-based composites the binder-component load transfer occurs at...

Land management with ecological and economic objectives : developing a production possibility set of wildlife species persistence and timber harvest value using simulated annealing

Creator:: Calkin, David E.
Abstract:: An integrated model combining a wildlife population simulation model, and timber harvest and growth models was developed to explore the tradeoffs between the likelihood of persistence of a wildlife species and timber harvest values on a landscape in the Central Oregon Cascades. Simulated annealing, a heuristic optimization technique, was used...

A Rapid β-/γ Autoradiographic Imaging Method for Post-detonation Nuclear Forensics and Radiological Emergency Response

Creator:: Foley, Ari A. R.
Abstract:: In a radiological emergency scenario, the capability to rapidly visualize radiation emitted from debris, contamination, or absorbed in biological samples, while visualizing the non-radioactive (or “conventional” image) features within a ﬁeld of view, will provide critical information to support optimization of further analysis, sample collection, and decision making. This research...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....
