An Examination of Critical Heat Flux in a Nuclear Fuel Rod Using an Explicit Finite Difference Scheme

Creator:: Christensen, Alex B.
Abstract:: One of the most important components in the safety analysis of a nuclear reactor is its critical heat flux (CHF), as it can compromise the structural integrity of the clad and lead to the release of fission products into the primary coolant. Groeneveld et. al. has published a series of...

The Control and Safety Analysis of a Small Fission Surface Power Reactor

Creator:: Nelson, Noel B.
Abstract:: The NKUA1 is a Small Fission Surface Power (SFSP) space reactor intended for use in upcoming missions to Mars and the moon between the years 2020-2030. The concept of the reactor was created by Dr. Lee Mason and his research team in a joint effort between the Department of Energy...

Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

Creator:: Strahl, Jordan D.
Abstract:: An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...

Correlation Between Coralline Algae and Community Composition in Oregon Coast Tide Pools

Creator:: Heppell, Dylan
Abstract:: Ocean acidification affects all organisms that incorporate calcium carbonate into their structure, including coralline algae. Coralline algae are a key component of the intertidal ecosystem on the Oregon coast which is why it is important that we understand how the potential loss of coralline algae to ocean acidification will impact...

Using The MPA Guide to Better Understand Global Marine Conservation Efforts

Creator:: McArthur, Madeleine G.
Abstract:: Across the globe, Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been established to protect biodiversity, sustain fisheries, and preserve cultural resources. However, there exist broad differences among MPAs with respect to their establishment stage and protective regulations, making it difficult to quantify how much ocean protection is actually occurring. This thesis utilizes...

What's Really Important in Introductory Psychology?

Creator:: Bohnstedt, Chloe
Abstract:: Is there a core set of concepts in psychology? Early work identified keywords in psychology by asking textbook authors what concepts were most important to them to understand what was essential for college students' psychological literacy (Boneau, 1990). Much of the early work showed there is little consistency in the...

Design and Testing of a Device to Separate Tightly-Bound and Mobile Water Pools in Soil

Creator:: Madrigal, Justin Luis
Abstract:: Water movement, from forest soil to streams, has traditionally been modeled by translatory flow. A hypothesis was presented by Brooks et al. (2010) suggesting that, in addition to translatory flow, there exists an immobile pool of water trapped in small pores with low matric potential. Comparisons of water stable isotope...

Computational Fluid Dynamics Benchmark Study of LINC ExperimentalResults

Creator:: Wong, Charles C.
Abstract:: Natural circulation is actively being pursued as a cooling system for most new nuclear reactor designs and spent fuel pools. To have a better and comprehensive understanding of natural circulation, an experimental facility was constructed to conduct experiments in natural circulation. The facility, designated as the Laser-Imaged Natural Circulation (LINC)...

Native bees, honeybees and pollination in Oregon cranberries

Creator:: McKenney, Melissa A.
Abstract:: Farmers rely almost exclusively on the imported European honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) for fruit and vegetable crop pollination services. The recent decline in honeybee health has underscored he danger of relying on a single species to provide vital services. Increasing pollinator biodiversity with native bees may provide biological insurance against...

Development of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of Zebrafish Interleukin 1 beta upregulation

Creator:: Cook, Samuel A.
Abstract:: The study and utilization of Danio rerio (Zebrafish) as a model organism has increased greatly in recent decades. They are used in many areas of biological research, but one field that has used them extensively is immunology. Since zebrafish have been found to possess many orthologs to human genes, study...
