Reassessment of Grading Criteria with Respect to the Flexural Properties of Douglas-fir Crossarms

Creator:: Anderson, Christopher H.
Abstract:: Wood plays a key role in modern electrical infrastructure; crossarms and power poles utilize the high strength to weight ratio, availability and low cost of wood to facilitate the access of power to millions of Americans. However, wood presents a variety of challenges as a material. In structural applications, one...

Freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson Fluid using Classical Density Functional Theory

Creator:: Finster, Kirstie L.
Abstract:: We use Classical Density Functional Theory (cDFT) to predict the freezing of a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) fluid, and construct pressure-temperature and temperature-density phase diagrams. A WCA fluid consists of soft spheres that exhibit the repulsive portion of the Lennard-Jones potential widely used to model the interaction of two neutral atoms. Our...

Seamless Topobathymetric River Mapping Through Multi-Sensor Data Integration: Lidar, Sonar, RTK GNSS and Structure from Motion

Creator:: Kellum, Kory and Kellum, Kory E.
Abstract:: Seamless, high-resolution topobathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) of rivers are important for generating hydrodynamic models, studying water quality and related ecological issues, modeling flood vulnerability, and numerous other applications. However, such DEMs can be difficult to generate, due to a lack of topographic and bathymetric source data. Even where the...

Enhancing intelligent API tutors with information about how APIs are used in practice

Creator:: Krishnamoorthy, Vasanth
Abstract:: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable software developers to utilize and create functionality that would otherwise take a lot of time and effort to build from scratch. Consequently, an essential part of software engineering training is for students to learn how to use APIs effectively. The existing jTutors system enables an...

jTutors: A Web-Based Tutoring System for Java APIs

Creator:: Dahotre, Aniket
Abstract:: For building robust software applications, it is important for the software engineer to make efficient use of the available building blocks. Learning the basic language constructs is only the first step in this process. It is becoming increasingly important for software engineers, especially students, to get acquainted with the available...

Aircraft wing optimization using B-spline models and panel methods

Creator:: Jackson, Danielle Monique
Abstract:: This research investigates shape optimization process, using b-spline models and panel methods, to achieve a high lift to drag ratio for an aerodynamic structure. This research is a proof of concept for further research in aerodynamic shape optimization. The coupled process, involving the design and optimization of a random shape,...

Foraging ecology, colony attendance, and chick provisioning of Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) in the Columbia River Estuary

Creator:: Anderson, Scott K.
Abstract:: This study was designed to enhance understanding of factors influencing foraging distribution, diet composition, and overall reproductive success of Caspian terns (Sterna caspia) nesting on East Sand Island in the Columbia River estuary. This colony of nearly 10,000 breeding pairs is of concern to regional resource managers because Caspian terns...

Net farm income and the role of water development projects

Creator:: Anderson, William J.
Abstract:: The recent 2013 Oregon State Board of Agriculture report identified several ways to improve agricultural income in Oregon. Recommendations to improve water development are at the top of the report's list of objectives. In this study, I analyze the relationship between net cash farm income (NCFI) and a cross-sectional set...

Improvements in synthesis and response techniques of ion-selective sensors

Creator:: Pylypiuk, Nataliia
Abstract:: Two improvements to the established procedures for synthesis and response detection of ion-selective optical sensors (optodes) were introduced. The first improvement addresses the drawback of organic dye (optode-localized chromoionophore) photobleaching. This positively impacts fluorescence response and allows for (1) direct measurement of hydrogen ion activity upon binding with the dye,...

Dual Purpose Utilization of Titanium Alloy Bars for Impressed Current Cathodic Protection and Near Surface Mounted Retrofit in Reinforced Concrete Beams

Creator:: Slawinski, Amanda K.
Abstract:: Many older reinforced concrete bridges and buildings in the United States are considered deficient due to past design codes that are not conservative, increased loading, and deterioration of structural components. Deterioration is most commonly caused by corrosion, which reduces the steel cross sectional area and damages the concrete cross section....
