An Improved Chemical Kinetic Model Reduction in pyMARS for Liquid Propellants

Creator:: Moore, Cailin J.
Abstract:: The aerospace industry uses chemical kinetic models when designing propulsion systems to acquire specific details about the rate of chemical reactions, heat release, and combustion stability. These models, however, are too large and stiff to be useful as they can take weeks to run computations on. The pyMARS python package...

Design of 3D-Printed Soft Pneunet Actuator for Robotic Fruit Harvesting

Creator:: Wilhelm, Lissette J. H.
Abstract:: This work details the development of 3D printed TPU pneunet actuators for use in apple picking for agricultural soft robotics. These actuators increase the force capabilities of soft pneunets and simplify manufacturing. Grippers based on these actuators are ideal for apple picking because they are compliant, yet exert sufficient force...

An analysis on the population genetic structure of Ariolimax columbianus around Corvallis, Oregon

Creator:: Brune, Maximillian A.
Abstract:: As the world’s population continues to increase every year, a greater proportion of people are living in urban environments. This process of global urbanization has been previously shown to affect evolution of plants and animals by restricting gene flow, increasing genetic drift, and causing divergent selection between rural and urban...

Importance of TLR2 and TLR4 signaling against M. abscessus infection of macrophages and use of mycobacteriophage genomics toward understanding some of the aspects of phage therapy

Creator:: Kapoor, Hannah A.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised or immunosuppressed patients. Even with long-term treatment with multiple antibiotics, MAB pulmonary infections have high rates of treatment failure. Within the host, MAB is phagocytosed by key innate immune cells macrophages. The TLR2 and TLR4 are two critical...

Kinetics of plankton respiration across gradient of anoxic to oxic conditions

Creator:: Jayawickrama, Clare
Abstract:: Ocean deoxygenation is predicted to increase in severity over the next few decades, posing a threat to marine life and fishing economies. Improved predictions of ocean deoxygenation depend on a better understanding of the biogeochemical mechanisms that underly this process. Within the realm of biogeochemical mechanisms, this project specifically investigated...

Effects of Yeast Type and Environmental Factors on Kombucha Fermentation

Creator:: Julianna, Winding
Abstract:: Kombucha is a fermented sweet tea beverage of Asian origin which has become popular in the West due to its distinct flavor and possible health benefits. Kombucha is fermented by inoculating sweet tea with yeast and bacteria until a pellicle, referred to as a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and...

Circadian Clock Disruption via Exposure to Extended Light at Night (LAN) Alters Epigenetic Expression of CKI Genes in the Murine Mammary Gland

Creator:: Rogers, Zackry L.
Abstract:: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women, with an estimated 12.4% of American women diagnosed with this tumor type. Evidence suggests that exogenous disruptors can exert epigenetic changes leading to aberrant gene expression, shifting the cellular balance toward oncogenesis. While chemical pollutant exposure is well-studied, light...

Developing a Method For Quantitation of Organic Acid Exometabolites Released By Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Grown Under Oral Cavity-like Conditions

Creator:: Akmal, Ryaan
Abstract:: Tooth decay in the form of dental caries and cavities is estimated to be among the most common health conditions globally, with treatment of these oral diseases resulting in a massive, world-wide economic burden. The cause of this demineralization of teeth is rooted in the action of complex microbial biofilms...

Examining Early Gender Disparities in Academic Performance: A Pre-School Analysis of Gender Differences and Observations in Academic Assessments

Creator:: Snisky, Briana
Abstract:: Executive function (EF) is an extensively researched topic as a predictor for academic achievements for children. Delineated as qualities of self-regulation, EF prepares a child to produce successful behaviors for their learning and social environments. Entering school with sufficient self-regulation skills is proven advantageous for scholarly performance. Within the early...

Designing surveys to investigate the impacts of wildfire smoke on human health

Creator:: Attridge, Samuel J.
Abstract:: Wildfires are increasing in frequency. One area of research interest centers on the pollutants within wildfire smoke, including but not limited to particulate matter and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These chemicals are associated with exacerbation of respiratory, cardiovascular, dermatological, reproductive, oncological, gastrointestinal, and infectious conditions. As wildfires becoming increasingly prevalent, it...
