Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

Creator:: Embleton, Clark A.
Abstract:: Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

Evaluation of Adoptability : The Iterative Development of an Energy Production Device for the Middle School Classroom

Creator:: Heck, Samuel T.
Abstract:: This study conducts follow up research to my Mechanical Engineering Senior Project that was completed in March 2015. It follows the Student Powered Hydro and Entertainment Device (SPHED) as it is used in various middle school and high school classrooms. SPHED has three modules: a power generation module, a hydropower...

Open, online, interactive visualizations for learning about Gaussian mixture models

Creator:: Allen, Stuart
Abstract:: We construct a website to explain how Gaussian mixture models can be optimized using the expectation maximization algorithm. Previous free, online material on this process has been extremely limited. All sources surveyed failed to entirely describe our identified criteria for an in-depth description and useful visualizations. After surveying a variety...

Vertical Ground Reaction Force During the Forward Lunge and Squat for Dominant and Non-Dominant Limbs in Older Adults

Creator:: Thompson, Ronald D.
Abstract:: Falls in older adults are a significant issue in the United States. Many older adults are advised to participate in fall prevention exercise programs in an attempt to increase strength and stability, but it is unclear what role limb dominance and potential limb asymmetry has in exercise performance. The purpose...

Machine learning approach to improve drug discovery in natural product extracts

Creator:: Heussner, Robert T.
Abstract:: Current natural product (NP) research is limited by its reliance on bioassay-guided fractionation to identify bioactive compounds in mixtures. Computational approaches may improve NP research by correlating mass spectra (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra (NMR) of bioactive mixtures to their bioactivity patterns. In this study, I use artificial neural...

The Dynamics of Random Pulse-Coupled Oscillator Networks

Creator:: Kadhim, Kyra L.
Abstract:: The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

Psychometric Properties of an Attitude Scale

Creator:: Cecchini, Nicole K.
Abstract:: The scope of this particular research delves into the psychological measurement of alumni that graduated from the College of Business at Oregon State University. The goal for this research is to refine the pool of alumni survey items, and to improve the measurement properties for future use. This research proposes...

Redefining Nuclear: Exploring Stigma, Climate Change, and the Adoption of Nuclear Power in Southeast Asia

Creator:: Chan, Allen M.
Abstract:: Nuclear energy is very efficient and cost-effective, but the stigma attached to it hinders its expansion around the world. However, with rising concerns over climate change and the fact that nuclear energy effectively has zero greenhouse gas emissions, there is an opportunity for nuclear to be more acceptable as a...

Wireless Charging System Using Inductive Coupling

Creator:: Waters, Allen T.
Abstract:: A wireless power transfer system using inductive coupling was designed and implemented as part of a three-member project team. The system uses coupled magnetic fields at a frequency of 606kHz to transfer electromagnetic energy from a charging base to the batteries of portable devices. It succeeded in transmitting power to...
