Analytical Meditation on Motivation to Meditate

Creator:: Lindsley, Jacob
Abstract:: Meditation research in recent decades has disproportionately focused on the Buddhist derived practice of “mindfulness” meditation while leaving most other Buddhist meditation practices unstudied. The current study seeks to remedy this homogeneity through the adaptation of a novel meditation practice used in Tibetan Buddhism to affect motivation. We explored traditional...

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...

Towards a national map of soil liquefaction susceptibility : modeling with heuristic and geotechnical methods

Creator:: Lindsley, Adam E.
Abstract:: This study investigates the use of predictive mapping techniques as well as geotechnical criteria in developing a multiregional soil liquefaction model and subsequent maps. The maps were produced using National Cooperative Soil Survey data, in the gSSURGO format, combined with soil liquefaction data gathered from studies, articles, and traditional seismic...

Juvenile Rockfish (Sebastes spp.) Community Composition and Habitat use of Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Lindsley, Amy J.
Abstract:: Estuaries, which provide viable habitat for a plethora of fish and invertebrate species, are being increasingly impacted by anthropogenic and natural forces. Estuaries are important nursery habitat for young-of-the-year (YOY) Pacific rockfish (Sebastes spp.). Yaquina Bay, a marine-dominated estuary on the central Oregon Coast, served as a study site for...

Ultra sonic SCUBA diver tracking device hardware

Creator:: Lindsley, Christopher J.
Abstract:: Currently, there is no accurate, low-cost method to track divers. Watching bubbles can give you an approximate xy-location, and expensive underwater radios utilizing ultrasonic waves can work if the diver knows where they are. Traditional radio waves do not work well in water due to the conductive nature of water....

Quantitative Metatranscriptomics and Biogeochemical Rate Measurements Reveal Microbial Pathways Driving Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles in an Arctic Lagoon

Creator:: Griffin, Natasha A.
Abstract:: Microbial communities in Arctic coastal lagoons drive biogeochemical cycles at the terrestrial-marine interface and help to determine the fate and form of resources like nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) as they are delivered to the Arctic Ocean. Though rising rates of primary production in the Arctic Ocean are well-characterized, the...

Reactive Phase Change Materials for Enhanced Thermal Energy Storage

Creator:: Drake, Griffin S.
Abstract:: Effective storage and release of low-to-moderate temperature thermal energy (e.g. solar thermal or geothermal) could be transformational for applications such as space heating/cooling, domestic hot water, or off-grid cooking. Good candidates for thermal energy storage in this temperature range include latent heat storage (LHS) systems and thermochemical energy storage (TCES)...

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry as a technology platform for studying conformational dynamics in large protein complexes

Creator:: Nirudodhi, Sasidhar N.
Abstract:: Proteins are essential to all biological systems. Proteins participate in numerous cellular processes by interacting with other proteins, other metabolites and membranes in a dynamic environment. Studying the structural and conformational properties of proteins in the solution phase is necessary to understand their protein folding and interaction dynamics. This research...

Childhood risk as a predictor of frequency of contact between incarcerated fathers and their children

Creator:: Galardi, Tasha R.
Abstract:: U.S. incarceration rates have soared over the past three decades and the demographic characteristics of those who end up in prison are a reflection of the nation's structural inequality. Incarcerated fathers are a socially disadvantaged group and spending time in prison compounds already significant risk factors that these men experienced...

Identifying the relevance of "family forest" wood product origin and environmental certification for Oregon consumers, and specifiers and industrial customers

Creator:: Hamner, Rebecca A.
Abstract:: The wood products industry is influenced heavily by family ownership along the entire value chain. Although family ownership affects each link of the wood products value chain, there has been little research into the importance of products originating from family forestland. Specific attributes of products, such as origin or environmental...
