  • Does Athleticism Moderate Reactions to Diverse Images?

    Creator:
    Gregory, Charlotte
    Abstract:
    There is significant evidence that an increase in social media usage causes changes to mood and feelings about the self. It has also been found that there is a significant relationship between the extent of social media usage consumption and self-perception. Mimicking social media exposure, I focused on how participants...

  • Synthetic instrument generation : generating novel instrument timbres with a genetic algorithm

    Creator:
    Knowlton, John
    Abstract:
    The use of genetic algorithms to compose music and generate sounds is an area of interest in the artificial intelligence field. Music and instrument sounds have known rules and structures that can be followed which make them well-suited for genetic algorithms. However, genetic algorithms still struggle to generate sounds comparable...

  • Effect of Fire Severity on Forest Development in a Mature Douglas-fir Forest in Western Oregon

    Creator:
    Hidzick, Maxim S.
    Abstract:
    Wildfires can create alternative pathways for forest development, and wildfires have expanded in size, frequency, intensity, and severity across the western United States. The purpose of this paper is to compare forest development of a mature Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon across fire severities. Postburn field measurements were collected in...

  • The effects of disruption propagation and mitigation strategies on a distribution supply chain system

    Creator:
    Hsu, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Supply chain disruptions and their propagating effects often result in negative impacts on supply chain performance, reduced profit, and an overall decrease in supply chain health. To mitigate these risks, it is important to understand the behavior of specific disruptions and to identify mitigation strategies that would be the most...

  • Tabletop fusion reactors : construction and testing of a demonstration inertial electrostatic confinement fusor

    Creator:
    Holler, Logan R.
    Abstract:
    Nuclear fusion reactors comprise a significant field of study due to their potential to provide a limitless, clean, and sustainable source of energy. The inertial electrostatic confinement fusor is a type of fusion-generating device that accelerates deuterium gas to the conditions required for fusion. The goal of this research was...

  • Evaluation of ECOSTRESS products for estimation of leaf and grape water stress for Southern Oregon vineyards

    Creator:
    Swafford Steffensen, Collen
    Abstract:
    Accurate estimation of water stress in vineyards could prove vital for optimizing irrigation and grape quality in a changing climate. The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on the Space Station (ECOSTRESS) offers potential to remotely sense vineyard water stress but lacks validation against in-field measurements in vineyards. In this study,...

  • Design and Fabrication of a Public Locker for Non-Motorized Watercraft

    Creator:
    Cordisco, Jonathan
    Abstract:
    Visitors to waterways need a way to securely lock up their non-motorized watercrafts to allow for exploration of the local area and communities. The Willamette Water Trail Steering committee recognized this problem and approached the Oregon State University Prototype Development lab to develop and fabricate a solution. The engineering design...
