Development of a remotely piloted aircraft for the Design/Build/Fly competition as a capstone engineering design project

Creator:: Wilcox, Joshua R.
Abstract:: The Design/Build/Fly competition (DBF) is an annual aerospace engineering competition hosted by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Oregon State University's AIAA chapter competed for the first time at DBF in 2013 and finished in the top 25% which is a respectable finish for a first year team....

Non-Isotropic Fiber Reinforced Elastic Membranes for Micro Aerial Vehicle Wings

Creator:: Wilcox, Joshua Robert
Abstract:: Micro air vehicles (MAV's) and small unmanned aerial vehicles (SUAV) are remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft with a take-off mass range between 50 g and few kilograms. These vehicles, as well as natural fliers such as bats and insects, utilize a variety of elastic wing structures including thin membranes. Over...

Associations Between Parenting Practices and Decision-Making Competence inEmerging Adults: A Prospective Study

Creator:: Michaels, Linsie
Abstract:: Developmental research has suggested that parenting practices may impact the development of risk behaviors later in life. However, little evidence exists regarding how parenting may impact actual decision processes that precede poor choices. This study examined how parenting practices in early childhood influence the development of decision-making competence (DMC), a...

Thermal and Aerodynamic Effects of Surface Roughness Patterns on Additive Manufactured Heat Sinks

Creator:: Lundeen, Samuel L.
Abstract:: Breakthroughs in heat sink design are now limited by conventional manufacturing techniques which can only produce basic fin shapes with homogenous surface structuring. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a potential disruptive technology for heat sink design and other convective heat transfer solutions, as surface properties can be directionally varied to maximize...

Development of a Boiling Surface Effectiveness Parameter by Modeling and Quantifying the Net Coolant Flow Rate

Creator:: Harrison, Matt
Abstract:: Boiling dynamics and related heat transfer mechanisms have been widely studied for several decades. During that time, incredible progress has been made on quantifying bubble departure phenomena including growth rate, departure frequency, associated natural and forced convection, and radiation additions to the overall heat transfer rate. With this, the thermal...

The Building of a ‘Harmonious World’ and the Conflict of the Confucius Institute

Creator:: Flatt, Tomena M.
Abstract:: The Confucius Institutes program is a Chinese organization established in 2004 to provide the world with language instruction and increase cultural awareness. The program forms joint venture business models with universities and schools around the world to establish language and culture centers on their school’s campus (“Constitution and By-Laws”). Over...

VO₂peak and running economy in female collegiate soccer players across a competitive season

Creator:: Olson, Johanna R.
Abstract:: Running economy (RE) is the amount of oxygen utilized (ml.kg⁻¹min⁻¹) when running a fixed speed, and it has been demonstrated to be an important factor determining race performance in distance runners. There is evidence that running economy and/or maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) improves over the course of a training season...

The Relationship Between Percent Body Fat and Fat Metabolism During Moderate Exercise

Creator:: Osako, Minori
Abstract:: It has previously been shown that the proportion of fat metabolized during aerobic exercise is higher in trained subjects, and there is conflicting evidence as to whether or not gender or age influence fat utilization during exercise. PURPOSE: The primary objective of this study was to investigate whether body composition...

Two-Color Laser Induced Fluorescence Imaging of Fluid Temperature for Free Convection and Vapor Condensation

Creator:: McAfee, Rachel
Abstract:: The development of a continuous and reliable cooling method for computer chips is an evolving subject requiring continuous research in both computer science and thermal management. Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) provides a non-invasive way to investigate electronics cooling fluid behavior. Dielectric fluids are of particular interest as they allow...

Individual Differences in Intuitive Risk Judgments

Creator:: Brunot, Alexander N.
Abstract:: The present research sought to investigate individual differences in the way individuals process intuitive risk judgments. The present investigation is centered on Fuzzy Trace Theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 1991), a developmental dual process theory of cognition which posits two ways in which individuals process information, gist and verbatim processing. 228...
