Characterization of novel exopolysaccharide producing lactic acid bacteria

Creator:: Garcia, Roberto A., III
Abstract:: Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), an important group of organisms in modern food production, are known to secrete a unique compound called exopolysaccharide (EPS). EPS is economically important because it enhances functional properties in food and may confer beneficial health effects to consumers. Novel strains of Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, and...

Predicting Aerodynamic Loads on Highly Flexible Membrane Wings

Creator:: Carpenter, Trenton James
Abstract:: Through passive adaptation to incidental flow, flexible aerodynamic surfaces exploit effects of increased lift, delayed stall and disturbance rejection. Wings of birds, bats, and insects exhibit these passive effects, and at the same time through the use of structural state feedback sensed from the loads on the wing, active control...

A qualitative study of successful Hispanic transfer students at a community college

Creator:: Gutierrez, Roberto
Abstract:: The purpose of this qualitative study was to research the experience of six Hispanic students who were interviewed in depth regarding their persistence in school and success at a community college. The students reported on their educational experiences prior to college and how that related to attendance at the college;...

Engineering Student Perspectives of a New Required Programming Course

Creator:: Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
Abstract:: We present student perceptions of a new first-year engineering programming class that was designed by informed research practices. While the College of Engineering at Oregon State University saw a lot of major switching in the first year, there were not many students switching into computer science (CS). This could have...

Developing Design Model for Cellulose Nanocomposites

Creator:: Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
Abstract:: Today nano scale materials are being used for wide range of applications. One promising topic in nano scale materials is using them for reinforcement of different polymeric materials to reach desirable stiffness properties. The stiffness of these materials is mostly found experimentally because the nanocomposite community lacks a decent analytical...

Coverage algorithms for WiFO : a hybrid WiFi-FSO femtocell communication system

Creator:: Zhang, Yang
Abstract:: Coverage algorithms for deployment of WiFO - a hybrid femtocell architecture based on WiFi and Free Space Optical (FSO) technologies are studied to significantly increase wireless throughput of existing WiFi networks. In contrast with existing WiFi networks, WiFO incorporates small cell size, line of sight transmissions, and the Gaussian attenuation...

Current Use of Dietary Guidelines in Private Clinical Nutrition Practice and its Impacts on the Dietary Patterns of Office Workers in Mexico City

Creator:: Grabinsky, Lisa
Abstract:: For the last 30 years, the population of Mexico has grappled with overweight, obesity, and associated chronic diseases, such as type-2 diabetes and hypertension. To standardize care among healthcare providers and dietitians, an official nutritional guideline was published in the early 2000s, which included a non-modifiable food-based dietary guideline in...

Modeling, control, and estimation of flexible, aerodynamic structures

Creator:: Ray, Cody W.
Abstract:: Engineers have long been inspired by nature's flyers. Such animals navigate complex environments gracefully and efficiently by using a variety of evolutionary adaptations for high-performance flight. Biologists have discovered a variety of sensory adaptations that provide flow state feedback and allow flying animals to feel their way through flight. A...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Use of Organoleptic Methodologies to Evaluate Wine Oligosaccharides and Wines made from Grapevine Red Blotch Virus Positive Vines Subjected to Various Vineyard Management Practices

Creator:: Hoffman, Samuel
Abstract:: The human senses can be used as analytical tools to evaluate many different aspects of our daily lives. The use of our senses through organoleptic methods offers unique and powerful insights into the characteristics of different stimuli. Due to the unique function of the different sensory organs we use to...
