Investigating Carrier Temperature in LED Quantum Well Driven Below the Turn-On Voltage

Creator:: Jeliazkova, Michelle
Abstract:: Electron behavior in semiconductor materials critically determines electronic applications. Previous research has shown carrier temperature higher than the lattice temperature of LEDs due to energy differences in the quantum well. Study of these findings requires a novel set-up to dig out weak signal in a thermal-noise filled environment; analytical methods...

Application of a weighted Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) for Structure Comparison in Radiation Treatment Planning

Creator:: Fried, Zachary
Abstract:: Coded metrics that compare representations of structures within the human body to evaluate their similarity are considered useful for planning radiation therapy on cancer targets. However, existing metrics fail to take into account the dose of radiation that will be received by both the target, and surrounding non-target tissue, during...

Preparation of Tacrolimus-loaded Biodegradable Nanoparticles for Sustained Drug Delivery

Creator:: Kinser, Reid
Abstract:: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant drug approved by the FDA for the prevention of organ transplant rejection. However, the use of this drug is hindered by its narrow therapeutic window and extreme insolubility in water. Due to these properties, the currently used tacrolimus preparations must be administered once or twice daily...

Ink and Substrate Compatibility for Electrochemical Sensing in Paper-based Devices

Creator:: Reid, Caitlin A.
Abstract:: Electrochemical sensing provides a quantitative alternative to colorimetric reactions within paper-based devices. The paper-based devices were fabricated by screen printing the conductive and reference inks onto porous substrates that were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry. Devices were evaluated based on the magnitude of the average anodic peak height, which correlates with...

Interactive Science Learning Program for Elementary School Students at Beazell Memorial Forest in Philomath, OR

Creator:: Sweetkind, Reid Smith
Abstract:: The FOCUS (Forest, Organisms, Creeks yoU Study) field trip program was developed to provide elementary students in Benton County, Oregon with a hands-on, environmental education experience at Beazell Memorial Forest. Students participated in activities dedicated to specific habitats and organisms found at Beazell that built upon their learning at school....

Dissecting DNA Damage Responses in Arabidopsis: A High-Throughput Sequencing Approach

Creator:: Brar, Anantnoor K., Wilcox, Buck W. L., Curtis, Marc, and Hays, John B.
Abstract:: Cells are constantly bombarded with mutagens, both endogenous and exogenous in origin. Endogenous sources of mutation include reactive oxygen species formed during aerobic respiration, replication errors by DNA polymerase, and spontaneous deamination and depurination (Jackson 2009). Exogenous sources of mutation include UV and ionizing radiation, aflatoxins, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...

Fifty years of change in a Pacific Northwest winter forest bird community

Creator:: Clements, Nolan
Abstract:: North American bird populations have declined throughout the past half century. The majority of studies quantifying these declines have focused on spring and summer breeding birds; not the season of scarcity, winter. We re-surveyed 7 large study plots in Douglas fir forests initially surveyed in winter during the late 1960s...

The Bold and the Beautiful

Creator:: Kinser, Riley W.
Abstract:: This study looks at whether two physical characteristics, physical attractiveness and perceived competence, have an impact on student analysts finding large discrepancies between current price and target price. Equity reports published online by undergraduate and MBA students involved in student investment clubs and portfolio management classes are combined with pictures...

How competitive are iconic competitors? Testing resource partitioning in Great Basin chipmunks

Creator:: Ormand, Elora J.
Abstract:: Competitive exclusion is a key concept in ecology describing the exclusion of one species by another from access to a limited resource. Competitive interactions between chipmunk species in the Great Basin, documented by James Brown in 1970, are often used as a textbook example of competitive exclusion. Whether competitive interactions...

Diet overlap by DNA metabarcoding of mule deer, elk, and cattle in ponderosa pine forest of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Faber, M. Kate
Abstract:: Millions of acres of rangeland in the western U.S. is shared habitat by elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and cattle (Bos taurus). Potential competition between these ungulates for the same forage species can be understood from their diet composition. I used DNA metabarcoding methods with trnL primers to...
