  • The Impact of Guiding Questions and Rubrics in the Scientific Writing of Middle-Division Physics Students

    Creator:
    Watson, Drew M.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this Physics Education Research project was to implement a modified version of Calibrated Peer Review and measure the impacts in junior-level students' scientific writing. The project developed and implemented a set of guiding questions, instructor written examples, and a rubric which were implemented in a multi-staged process,...

  • Examining Upper-DivisionThermodynamics Using the Actor Oriented Transfer Framework

    Creator:
    Sherer, Grant J.
    Abstract:
    One source of di culty for students in Thermodynamics courses is their unfamiliarity with partial derivatives and the associated mathematical procedures. At Oregon State University, a mechanical analogue of thermodynamic systems, called the Partial Derivative Machine (PDM), has been designed. The PDM represents an attempt to make the mathematics of...

  • Effective Signage to Manage Recreation at OSU’s Research Forests

    Creator:
    Walters, Corinne A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on creating effective signage for the Oregon State University College of Forestry Research Forests (OSU Research Forests). The OSU Research Forests are a unique setting because they offer space for research, class field trips, active timber harvest, and public recreation. The public interface requires the management at...

  • Gender Disparity in American Literary Fiction: Women Writing the Female Experience of Romantic Relationships in Short Fiction and a Collection of Original Short Stories

    Creator:
    Dealy, Rebecca Corinne
    Abstract:
    Unpublished female authors of American short fiction face many prejudices in fiction publishing, submission, and reviewing. These prejudices stem from the writer’s position in a gender-unequal society. Feminist fiction provides dimensional, diverse female characters in relationships where previous fiction had offered only stereotypes whose role was to support and reflect...

  • Generation of multiple geneauxotrophs for use as selectable markers in Fusarium graminearum

    Creator:
    Fargo, Corinne Marie
    Abstract:
    Auxotrophic strains of the fungus Fusarium graminearum were generated in order to increase the number of functional selectable markers and improve the utility of the model organism. Single metabolic genes, the sequences encoding for enzymes required for the production of specific essential metabolites, were deleted in F. graminearum, and then...

  • Implementation of a Test Stand for Scintillator Development

    Creator:
    Mangan, Tymothy
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on building a test stand in order to measure novel scintillator materials’ decay times. A proof of concept prototype confirms the manufacturer decay time of EJ-204 and LYSO scintillators with good statistics and confirmation of results after calibrations. With the prototype functional, the test stand is commissioned...

  • Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

    Creator:
    Busche, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

  • Numerical Simulation of a Thouless Pump

    Creator:
    Wall, Bryce
    Abstract:
    At the macroscopic scale, we have pumps that use the classical laws of physics to move liquids at a well defined rate. In the microscopic world, physicists are exploring pumps that make use of quantum mechanical behavior to build analogous pumps for quantum particles. The importance of such “quantum pumps”...

  • The geometry of the octonionic multiplication table

    Creator:
    Killgore, Peter Lloyd
    Abstract:
    We analyze some symmetries of the octonionic multiplication table, expressed in terms of the Fano plane. In particular, we count how many ways the Fano plane can be labeled as the octonionic multiplication table, all corresponding to a specified octonion algebra. We show that only 28 of these labelings of...

  • The Neutron Capture Cross Section of ²⁰⁸Pb

    Creator:
    Lambert, Miriam
    Abstract:
    In this project we measure the neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁸Pb. We began by calibrating our silicon detector with ²⁰⁴Tl. Two experiments were then performed, the first in December of 1999 and the second in March of 2000. Both experiments were performed in the nuclear reactor of the Radiation...
