  • Sustainable building design framework : an integrated approach

    Creator:
    Piacenza, Joseph R.
    Abstract:
    This paper combines two research publications working toward the development of an integrated framework for commercial sustainable building design. Current methodologies utilize a traditional architectural top-down approach to sustainable building design practices that consumes financial and temporal resources early in the design process. By identifying the array mechanical subsystems required...

  • A methodology for iterative design using physical test data

    Creator:
    Morris, Wesley T.
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses a common knowledge gap that was identified amongst the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) competition design teams at Oregon State University. Students that join the SAE teams at Oregon State University typically do not have experience using physically collected data during a design process. This leads to...

  • Student Club Analysis: The Effects of Organizational Structuring on Competition Performance

    Creator:
    Chandler, Jacob J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis aims to explore the effects of organizational and management principles within the context of a student club – an international Formula Student team. Research on the effects of organizational structuring on student club performance tends to be qualitative in nature. While considering the inherent complexity of the human...

  • Comparing and Contrasting the Merits of Additive Manufactured Electric Vehicle Suspension Components: GFR Case Study

    Creator:
    Peraza-Garcia, Jesus
    Abstract:
    This thesis compares the implementation of additive manufactured suspension uprights against subtractive manufactured suspension uprights from concept generation, design, and validation through simulation. Additive manufactured suspension uprights were designed for Global Formula Racing’s 2023 electric vehicle. Utilizing Siemens NX, Nastran, Fusion 360, and Ansys Workbench both subtractive and additive manufactured...

  • J.H. Woodger and the emergence of supra-empirical orders of discussion in early twentieth century biology

    Creator:
    Allen, Marshall William
    Abstract:
    This investigation attempts to demonstrate that the development of the early 20th century biological enterprise involved a striving for a unifying theoretical perspective. A skeletal substantiation of this is given by an overview of early 20th century biology in which some biologists began recognizing a multiplicity of different orders of...

  • Stream habitat classification and restoration in the Blue Mountians of northeast Oregon

    Creator:
    Ebersole, Joseph Lamar
    Abstract:
    The restoration of rivers and streams should be based on a strong conceptual framework. Streams are developing systems. As such, streams exhibit temporal behaviors that change with changing stream environments. Underlying the dynamic development of streams is potential capacity. Streams express this capacity as an array of habitats over time...

  • Adsorption of selected charge mutants of bacteriophage T4 lysozyme at silanized silica surfaces

    Creator:
    Podhipleux, Nilobon
    Abstract:
    The adsorption kinetics exhibited by selected charge mutants of T4 lysozyme at silanized silica surfaces were monitored with in situ ellipsometry. Mutant lysozymes were produced by substitution of lysine (Lys) with glutamic acid (Glu). Each substitution resulted in a decrease in the net charge of the protein by 2 units....

  • Synthesis and evaluation of PEO-coated materials for microchannel-based hemodialysis

    Creator:
    Heintz, Keely
    Abstract:
    The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

  • Social Acceptance of Landscape-Scale Restoration : Treatment of Riparian Areas in the Lower Joseph Creek Watershed, Oregon.

    Creator:
    Kohler, Gabriel E.
    Abstract:
    Managing riparian areas in the dry forests of the intermountain west for diverse public values can create conflict, potentially limiting social acceptance in landscape-scale restoration projects. This thesis examined accelerated landscape-scale restoration as part of a broader shift toward ecosystem management on national forestland, which incorporates social values into forest...

  • A force plate for measuring contact forces during dependent transfers onboard aircraft

    Creator:
    Schafer, Christopher A.
    Abstract:
    The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parties might be reduced through the biomechanical study of the transfer task. Such...
