  • Factors affecting circulating growth hormone binding protein in chickens

    Creator:
    Tobar-Dupres, Eric T.
    Abstract:
    Growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) may be an important factor in the regulation of growth as well as an indirect, less invasive way of predicting the status of growth hormone receptors. Several factors (age, nutritional status, sex, and glucocorticoid administration) have been reported to influence circulating growth hormone (GH) levels,...

  • Effect of Active Trailing Edge Motion Upon Airfoil Energy Harvester

    Creator:
    Strahl, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    The application of a flapping foil with prescribed trailing edge motion to energy harvesting in a low reduced frequency (k = fc/U∞) regime was experimentally studied. The effects of the phase and amplitude of the applied trailing edge motion upon time-variant power extraction capability have been measured and are interpreted....

  • Assessment of factors regulating growth hormone binding in pigs

    Creator:
    Mullins, Tracy M.
    Abstract:
    These studies were conducted to examine the influence of several variables on the growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in serum of pigs. Continuous long term porcine somatotropin (pST) injections (daily for 6-7 wk) increased GHBP activity (p < .05). However, periodic short term pST injections (daily, every second d or...

  • Applications of Marine Radar Wave Observation Systems

    Creator:
    Meskill, Shay J.
    Abstract:
    This project utilized both shore-based and shipboard commercial marine radar technology to collect wave statistics. In the first application a shore-based system was installed at Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon in order to collect real-time wave information. This information was collected under the auspices of the Northwest Association of Networked...

  • A nano-power wake-up circuit for RF energy harvesting wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Lindsley, Christopher J.
    Abstract:
    A fully integrated CMOS latched comparator is presented for use as a wake-up circuit that is attached to an RF energy harvester in a battery free wireless sensor network. The system consumes less than 36nA static current at 20°C and dissipates 2pJ of energy per conversion. The comparator comprises of...

  • Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

    Creator:
    Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent
    Abstract:
    Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

  • Synthetic studies toward a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin

    Creator:
    Hong, Zhenqiu
    Abstract:
    A new approach towards a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin is discussed. The approach involves the application of regio- and stereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition for the preparation of a key intermediate, cyclobutanone 86, and model studies on diiodosamarium (Sm12) mediated pinacol coupling of a diketone. Intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a,13unsaturated lactam 33...

  • Deep ultraviolet solid-state laser development

    Creator:
    Dutton, David A. (David Adam)
    Abstract:
    There is a new possibility of generating deep ultraviolet laser radiation from a solid-state source. With recent advances in material development, a new nonlinear optical crystal provides a greater damage threshold than current materials making higher conversion efficiencies possible. This thesis examines the possibility of using this crystal to generate...

  • OME : A Framework for Running Spatially Explicit System Dynamics Models

    Creator:
    Wingo, Patrick C.
    Abstract:
    The Open Modeling Environment (OME) is a tool developed to address some known shortcomings in ecological System Dynamics (SD) modeling research. OME provides a common set of methods for interacting directly with spatial information, reducing the need for modelers to create their own methods for doing so. The environment is...
