  • 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...

  • Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Pelatt, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

  • Dixy Lee Ray, marine biology, and the public understanding of science in the United States (1930-1970)

    Creator:
    Ellis, Erik
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the life of Dixy Lee Ray as it examines important developments in marine biology and biological oceanography during the mid twentieth century. In addition, Ray's key involvement in the public understanding of science movement of the 1950s and 1960s provides a larger social and cultural context...

  • Synthesis and investigation of layered oxides with honeycomb ordering

    Creator:
    Schmidt, Whitney L.
    Abstract:
    Synthesis and discovery lies at the core of every field in chemistry. The investigation of the structure-property relationships in compounds known or new is the fundamental purpose of solid state chemistry. Mixing related solid state compounds to form solid solutions can lead to exciting new and/or unexpected properties. Layered compounds...

  • Institutionalizing Science in Oregon : The Role of the Oregon State Academy of Sciences, 1905-1914

    Creator:
    Read, Richard Thomas
    Abstract:
    In February 1905 the Oregon State Academy of Sciences formed in Portland to promote scientific research and diffusion of scientific knowledge in Oregon. The founders also planned to assist in the discovery and development of the state's natural resources. The Academy was the first scientific society in Oregon with professional...

  • Determination of Mass Flow Rate through Plain Mesh Wick and Nano- Structured Mesh Wick for the Design of Thermal Compressor Systems

    Creator:
    Uwaoma, Ifeanyi A.
    Abstract:
    Wicking action refers to the movement of a liquid through a porous or a structured surface via capillary action. This phenomenon is affected by surface geometry, such as the wick thickness and pore size of the wick, as well as fluid properties, such as viscosity and surface tension of the...

  • Forestry

    Creator:
    Avery, Bonnie E.
    Abstract:
    A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees, forests, and the habitat they provide as well as their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and...

  • Learning to teach effectively : science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduate teaching assistants' teaching self-efficacy

    Creator:
    DeChenne, Sue Ellen
    Abstract:
    Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are important in the teaching of undergraduate students (Golde & Dore, 2001). However, they are often poorly prepared for teaching (Luft, Kurdziel, Roehrig, & Turner, 2004). This dissertation addresses teaching effectiveness in three related manuscripts: 1. A position paper...

  • The effect of wine matrix on the analysis of volatile sulfur compounds by solid-phase microextraction-GC-PFPD

    Creator:
    Davis, Peter M.
    Abstract:
    Constituents of the wine matrix, including ethanol, affect adsorption of sulfur volatiles on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers, which can impact sensitivity and accuracy of volatile sulfur analysis in wine. Several common wine sulfur volatiles, including hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (MeSH), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), dimethyl disulfide (DMDS), dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), diethyl...

  • Fouling Characterization in Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment

    Creator:
    Messer, Morgan S.
    Abstract:
    Water supplies are diminishing worldwide and by 2025 two thirds of the population could be living in regions of water scarcity (local demand for water is greater than water supply). One method to increase available water sources is to use desalination technologies to separate water from saline solutions. While desalination...
