  • Exploring cultural barriers and TEK connections of Kānaka Maoli students in academia

    Creator:
    Rankin, Julia
    Abstract:
    Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is a Knowledge-belief-practice system acquired through intergenerational direct and indirect observations representing past and current understandings of environments and integrates Indigenous value systems. TEK has become a popular topic recently as Indigenous stewarded lands contain more biodiversity and are more adaptable. It is critical for Indigenous...

  • Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

    Creator:
    Attridge, Samuel J.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...

  • Optimization of NH2-MIL-88B (Fe) for reactive oxygen species generation

    Creator:
    Shotton, Lewis
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as promising candidates in novel cancer therapies due to their unique properties, including high surface area, tunable crystal size, and exposed metal ion active sites for catalysis. The MOF NH2-MIL-88B has shown potential use in cancer theranostics. Its open metal active sites catalyze the reduction...

  • Hi-C genome assembly of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon salebrosus

    Creator:
    Har, Skyler
    Abstract:
    Rhizopogon salebrosus is an abundant ectomycorrhizal fungus common throughout Western North America that forms mutualistic partnerships with Pinus species. Studied for its systematics, use in sapling nurseries, post-fire seedling establishment, and unique evolutionary history, R. salebrosus holds many secrets within its genome. This thesis aims to characterize the mating system,...

  • Effects of nickel addition In Cu-Zr-Hf-Al metallic glass matrix

    Creator:
    Miska, John
    Abstract:
    Metallic glasses (also referred to as amorphous metals) have been gaining interest in the materials science community in recent years. These amorphous materials demonstrate promising properties compared to their crystalline counterparts that include much higher strength and elastic strain limit, better corrosion and wear resistance, superior soft magnetism, and an...

  • Environmental DNA reveals cryptic parasite species and gives insight into their fish hosts

    Creator:
    Phillips, Kyle
    Abstract:
    Ceratonova shasta is a myxozoan fish parasite that impacts hatchery and wild populations of salmon and trout in the Pacific Northwest. Levels of the parasite in river water can be effectively monitored through direct filtration of parasite spores from water, extraction of total "environmental DNA" (eDNA), then quantitative polymerase chain...

  • Testing and design procedures for electric propellant pumps for suborbital bi-propellant rockets

    Creator:
    Verna-Ketel, Dominic
    Abstract:
    An electrically driven propellant pump (HALE E-Pump) was analysed and tested to determine its viability for use in a bi-propellant launch vehicle for the High-Altitude Liquid Engine (HALE) student rocket team at Oregon State University (OSU). The pump, manufactured in 2022 by students in OSU machine shops, was hydrostatically tested...

  • Part-Load Optimization of an Organic Rankine Cycle

    Creator:
    Ramsey, Owen
    Abstract:
    Waste-heat-recovery Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems use excess heat from industrial processes to produce electrical power. In many cases, the temperatures and mass flow rates of these excess-heat streams vary significantly over time, causing the ORC to often operate far from its design point. In this study, a control strategy...

  • The Effect of Riluzole on P2X7 and EAAT2 Expression by Inducible Neural Progenitor Cell (iNPC)-derived Astrocytes

    Creator:
    Sy, Kevin
    Abstract:
    Although it is the first drug approved for usage to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), riluzole’s mechanism of action is unknown and its therapeutic quality is hampered by its relatively short window of effectiveness. P2X7 is a purine receptor found in astrocytes and other cells, which increases calcium concentrations within...

    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the differences in puppetted and teleoperation control of robotic hands, using the Asterisk test as a benchmark. Two hands were tested, including modified versions of the Model Q and Model Q developed by Yale's GRAB Lab. Small differences were observed between the puppetted and teleoperation control of...
