Comparison of Experimentally-determined and Model-estimated Attachment Efficiency for Predicting Nanoparticle Aggregation

Creator:: Kennard, Jasmin J.
Abstract:: The widespread use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in industrial applications and consumer products makes their release to the environment inevitable. Understanding the aggregation behavior of ENPs is crucial to understanding their fate, transport and toxicology in aquatic systems. This study investigated the comparability of experimentally-determined and model-estimated attachment efficiencies for...

Fighting the global cancer burden: a promising molecular based cancer therapy

Creator:: Liu, Selina Qiuying
Abstract:: Glioblastoma, which occurs in adults primarily between ages of 40 to 70 years and accounts for 15% of all brain tumors, is a devastating diagnosis with a median survival rate of less than a year. Invasiveness of glioblastoma cells significantly reduces the effectiveness of current treatments, highlighting the importance of...

Comparison of Aqueous Cu⁺², Pb⁺², and Zn⁺² Adsorption with Pyrolyzed Hazelnut Shells and a Commercially Produced High-Carbon Fly Ash

Creator:: Steigerwald, Jessica Marie
Abstract:: Contamination of stormwater with Cu⁺², Pb⁺², and Zn⁺² has become an important issue with recognition of the neurotoxic effects of these metal ions on aquatic life. Low levels of aqueous Cu⁺² disrupt olfactory functioning in endangered Pacific Northwest salmon, decreasing their ability to avoid predation. One common solution is stormwater...

The Altruism-Empathy-Perspective Connection: A Case Study of Human-Wildlife Interactions at Chintimini Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Freed, Kirsten S.
Abstract:: In the realms of psychology and sociology two new theoretical models have arisen to describe the forces influencing altruistic human behavior. The first is the Empathy-Altruism Hypothesis (EAH), by C.D. Batson. The second is the Conceptual Continuum of Altruism (CCA), by K.R. Monroe. Both models have proven to be highly...

Utilization of ground peanut husk as an alternative fiber material for particleboard

Creator:: Newton, Jacob A.
Abstract:: This research examined the potential for using peanut husk as a fiber alternative to wood in the production of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) particleboard. MF resin was used to produce panels with one, three, six, nine or 12 percent resin contents. Modulus of Rupture (MOR), Modulus of Elasticity (MOE), Internal Bond (IB)...

Reorientation in Alternative Break Trips

Creator:: Phillips, Caitlin Patricia
Abstract:: When a student participates in a service break trip, a process called reorientation occurs after the trip is over, when the student is trying to connect what they’ve learned on the trip to their normal lives. The objective of this project was to explore the concepts of volunteerism, community service,...

Quantification of C60 Particle Characteristics in Environmentally Relevant Aqueous Systems

Creator:: Adlong, Michelle R.
Abstract:: The production of the fullerene C60 and its emerging applications in consumer products imply its ultimate release to the environment. Due to the molecule’s relative novelty, the aqueous characteristics of C60 have not been fully assessed, though it may potentially harm human or ecological health. C60 is highly insoluble in...

Characterization of Biochar for Use in Treating Copper (II) Polluted Stormwater

Creator:: Gerould, Joy-Marie Danielle
Abstract:: Recent studies have discovered that salmon, specifically juvenile Coho Salmon, have their olfactory senses inhibited by the presence of low concentrations of copper concentrations at very low concentrations. Much of this copper is deposited on roadways by car brake pads during their use. The copper is carried with stormwater into...

Thermodynamics of Laser-Assisted Solution Combustion Synthesis of Yttrium Oxide

Creator:: Dhas, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: To assess the conversion and embedment of yttrium nitrate to yttrium oxide using selective laser melting, a thermodynamic approach for laser power and scan speed predictions on surface temperature, recoil pressure, and resulting track morphology window are employed. Inkjet printing is used to deposit the liquid film of yttrium nitrate...

Vote With Your Dollar – Assessing the effectiveness of consumer activism at influencing corporate responsibility

Creator:: Jacobson, Drew
Abstract:: This paper seeks to assess the merits of “Vote With Your Dollar” (VWYD) strategies for consumer and investor activism as a model for changing corporate behavior. A novel framework was constructed to group VWYD strategies and campaigns under shared attributes. To assess one such group, the boycott, the research gathered...
