  • Material development for thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Archila, Kevin Alexander
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is developing materials for thin-film transistors (TFTs). Cu₃SbS₄ is explored as p-channel layer. Cu₃SbS₄ TFTs show p-type, depletion-mode behavior with a small amount of gate-controlled modulation of the channel conductance. This behavior is consistent with Hall measurements indicating a mobility of 17 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and hole...

  • Crossing cultural barriers : an analysis of sex education practices in the United States and Mexico

    Creator:
    Gaudenti, Dawn A.
    Abstract:
    Adolescents are faced with many life changing decisions as they prepare for adulthood. The choice to engage in sexual activity is among the most difficult of these decisions. Risks, such as unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and other physical complications associated with early onset sexual activity are a harsh...

  • Permeability of Various Thyroid Hormone Derivatives and Discovery of a Novel Metabolite

    Creator:
    Kirkemo, Lisa
    Abstract:
    In this investigation, six different endogenous thyroid hormone derivatives—T₄, T₃, TA₄, TA₃, T₁-Amine, and N-Acetylated T₁-Amine—were tested to gain insight into their permeability coefficients and efflux ratios across a monolayer of Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK II) cells. The results indicate that T₃ and T₄ were unable to traverse the membrane...

  • Using Acoustic Measurements and Inventory Data to Estimate Stiffness in Standing Douglas-Fir Trees

    Creator:
    Delgado Trejo, Jorge Luis
    Abstract:
    Total US lumber production in 2011 was 77.9 million cubic meters. Its primary use was for housing and construction. There is a growing concern that the structural properties for wood are being reduced as trees are harvested at much younger ages as the wood supply shifts from older to younger...

  • Judicial deference and its potential effect on agency science and natural resource management

    Creator:
    Grisa, Amanda Marie Schenk
    Abstract:
    The USDA Forest Services' actions have come under greater scrutiny by a public that has become increasingly concerned with the legality of their actions. Often, challenges involve the quality of science used in the decision-making. Congress has mandated that the agency use the "best available science" in its decision making...

  • Characterization of the Ovine Prolactin Promoter

    Creator:
    Tan, Taralyn
    Abstract:
    Approximately five to eight percent of domestic rams demonstrate a sexual attraction towards other rams, directing no sexual behaviors towards estrous ewes. It has been observed that these male-oriented rams (MORs) have a greater abundance of prolactin mRNA than female-oriented rams in the medial preoptic area of the anterior hypothalamus...

  • Optimism, personal agency and the historical mirror in Plutarch's Parallel Lives

    Creator:
    Hittner, Victoria Marie
    Abstract:
    Conceivably one of the most recognizable names in written history, Plutarch has long been lauded as an invaluable historical resource. A Greek living under Roman rule in the first and second centuries, Plutarch exhibited an insatiable curiosity, one which led him to dabble in philosophy, education, the priesthood, and perhaps...

  • Public Discourses and Public Image-Making in Periclean Athens

    Creator:
    Petersen, Ben
    Abstract:
    When one looks back on fifth-century Athens, one political figure stands out: Pericles. He is famous for many things but mostly the idealized version of him that one reads about in Thucydides. However, what most people do not know is that there was a counter-narrative to this well known account—the...

  • Generation of proof of concept molecules neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to IL17Cm

    Creator:
    Calhoun, Drew W.
    Abstract:
    Inflammation is one of the first, most important responses of the immune system when presented with infection and is mediated primarily by eicosanoids and cytokines. The goal of this research was to generate monoclonal antibodies against murine IL17C, a poorly characterized cytokine involved in inflammation and linked to inflammatory conditions....

    Aljets, Alexandria Dukes
    Abstract:
    This study sought to explore the differences between the varied academic advising models in the College of Science at Oregon State University through the feedback of its undergraduate students and advisors. Using parallel surveys of students and their academic advisors, it found that the decentralized and centralized models each had...
