Total Kinetic Energy Release in the Fast Neutron Induced Fission of 237Np

Creator:: Pica, Ashley
Abstract:: The total kinetic energy (TKE) in the fast neutron induced fission of 237Np was measured for neutron energies from En = 2.6 – 45.7 MeV at the LANSCE- WNR facility. The postTKE release decreases non-linearly with increasing incident neutron energy and can be represented as TKE(MeV) = (169.365 ± 1.551)...

Verifying safe use of a thinner aluminum scattering chamber for fission physics

Creator:: Porter, Eben, Jr.
Abstract:: This thesis describes calculations done to determine the radiation hazard of the current Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) scattering chamber at the Oregon State TRIGA Reactor (OSTR) and compare it to the amount that would be given off by a new thin-walled chamber design. These calculations were completed with...

Impact of biased movement on marine protected area effectiveness

Creator:: Rekow, James Alexander
Abstract:: Fish mobility affects the distribution of commercially caught fish species in marine protected areas (MPAs) and unprotected areas, which we will call fishing grounds (FGs). Previous theoretical findings predicted that highly mobile fish would benefit little if at all from protection in MPAs (Demartini 1993, Walters et al. 1999). However,...

Is Resistance Futile: Examining Fitness Costs Associated with QoI Resistance in E. necator

Creator:: Newbold, Chelsea L.
Abstract:: Quinone outside Inhibitor (QOI) fungicides are one of the most widely used fungicide classes (FRAC 11) in the world. This popularity is the result of their ability to effectively manage a wide array of economically important pathogen species on a broad range of crops. While having mostly preventative activity, some...

Survival Mediated Capture and Fusion Cross Sections for Heavy Element Synthesis

Creator:: Yao, Liangyu
Abstract:: The synthesis of superheavy element evaporation residues is described by the product of the capture cross section, fusion probability, and survival probability. Capture cross sections are moderately well known. The fusion probability is the least known with many uncertainties. The formalism for the survival probability is known, but the parameters...

New Tools for Managing Erysiphe necator: Rapid Sampling Approaches and an Exploration of Grower Opinions and Perspectives towards Collective Action and Information Transfer

Creator:: Lowder, Sarah R.
Abstract:: The scale of pest and disease dispersal is often larger than the scale of individual farms. Therefore, an individual grower’s response to pests and diseases can affect and is affected by their surrounding growing region. Individual growers are also not isolated, and engage in various forms of information gathering, sharing,...

Studying fusion reactions for effect of PCN on heavy nucleus formation and for nuclear structure effects

Creator:: Naik, Radhika
Abstract:: The fusion reaction ²⁰⁸Pb (⁵⁰Ti, xn) ²⁵⁸⁻x Rf (x = 1-3) was studied to determine PCN (probability that the mononucleus system evolves to form a compound nucleus inside the fission saddle point) and to establish the value of Wsur (survival probability) for the given reaction experimentally. The fission excitation function...

Determination of Reaction Product Cross Sections in the ¹³⁶Xe + ²⁰⁸Pb Multi-nucleon Transfer Reaction at E[subscript cm] = 450 MeV

Creator:: Barrett, J. Spencer
Abstract:: The yields of 235 projectile-like and target-like fragments from the interaction of ¹³⁶Xe with a thick target of ²⁰⁸Pb at a center-of-mass energy, E[subscript cm], of 450 MeV were measured using γ-γ-γ coincidence data from Gammasphere and off-line γ-ray spectroscopy. The results give an expansive picture of the production cross...

Ensemble-variational data assimilation for dynamically challenging coastal ocean circulation

Creator:: Pasmans, Ivo
Abstract:: Currently, forecasts produced by the Oregon-Washington (OR-WA) Coastal Ocean Forecast System are constrained by assimilation of only surface observations. The 4-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation (DA) algorithm is utilized to combine the model and the data, with the time-independent forecast ("background'') error covariance B. In this study, two possible improvements...

Coastal ocean variability inferred from high resolution models : two case studies

Creator:: Mauch, Matthew L.
Abstract:: In this thesis, high resolution ocean models are used to evaluate and forecast coastal ocean variability in two different applications. In the first study, the 2-km resolution ocean circulation model for the Eastern Bering Sea is utilized to understand whether slope-interior exchange along the path of the Aleutian North Slope...
