The pulse-coupled oscillator model is widely used to simulate the dynamics of neural systems. For networks with particular internal (Mirollo-Strogatz) dynamics, I will define three broad patterns of collective behaviors found in literature in terms of inter-spike interval (ISI) statistics. These patterns are i) temporally-regular, characterized by all oscillators in...

Computer simulations have been touted as a method to identify strong candidate molecules for experimental research. This project assessed the relationship between computer simulations of methane absorption and experimental gas absorption. We acquired experimental data and...
Solutions to Einstein's equations are usually found by considering ideal, simplified models. However, if the real world always matched ideal physics models, then farmers would milk black and white spheres. To combat this, Regge calculus was developed as a numerical approximation scheme for general relativity. In Regge calculus curved manifolds...
An overview of the Honors College colloquium, "The Hidden History of Women at Oregon State University" prepared for presentation to an audience of OSU Honors College alumni.

In liquid sodium environments like those proposed for next-generation sodium fast reactors (SFRs), the presence of impurities in the sodium, particularly chemical species containing oxygen, can lead to increased corrosion on sodium-wetted components. It is important to monitor oxygen concentration in the sodium melt, but temperatures of 500 ℃ and...
When Charles Guiteau killed U.S. President James Garfield, he claimed that God had ordered him to do so. During his trial, Guiteau’s lawyers plead not guilty by reason of insanity, and the question of Guiteau’s innocence or guilt quickly became a question about the very nature of insanity itself. In...
Youth in the United States of America are disproportionately affected by the School-to-Prison Pipeline, especially low-income and/or BIPOC youth. This is a result of centuries of historical classism and racism that serve as the foundation of the United States and is directly correlated with mass incarceration and the Prison Industrial...
The ocean provides many ecosystems services and yet humans have viewed the ocean as a black hole for trash since the 1950s. With recycling not getting to the source of the problem, smarter consumer choices are being targeted, specifically choices centered around the use of plastic. Thus efficient, useful communication...

In recent years, participation in outdoor recreation has increased, with nearly half of Americans partaking annually (Thomsen, Powell, & Monz, 2018). The goal of recreation management is to provide diverse opportunities for leisure services through preservation of parks, open space, recreational facilities, and programs for park visitors. Management activities can...
The ever-increasing global population presents looming problems for the field of agriculture. Global food demand will, at some point, increase to the point where there is not enough crop-ready land to keep up. This creates an additional incentive, other than economics, for growers to increase their yield-per-acre and make sure...
Turbulent flows with suspended, non-spherical particles are common in many natural and industrial processes. To identify the effects of anisotropic geometry on particle dynamics, a one-way coupled Lagrangian direct numerical simulation solver was written, verified, and used to collect data on particles simulated in multiple flows.

Historical forest harvesting practices were reviewed in the original Alsea Watershed Study where they found increased energy
loading to the stream and produced higher stream temperatures. This was an important early research site that led to the
development of contemporary forest management practices to protect water quality and fish habitat...
Predators must consume enough prey to support costly events, such as reproduction. Meeting high energetic requirements is particularly challenging for migrating baleen whales as their feeding seasons are typically restricted to a limited temporal window and marine prey are notoriously patchy. We assessed the energetic value of the six most...
Dramatic declines of the native northeast Pacific mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis over the last three decades have occurred in response to intense infestations by the Asian bopyrid isopod parasite, Orthione griffenis, that was introduced in the 1980s.

Balancing selection is one of the mechanisms which has been proposed to explain the maintenance of genetic diversity in species across generations. For species with large populations and complex life histories, however, heterogeneous selection pressures may create a scenario in which the net effects of selection are balanced across developmental...
Electrostatic gating of nanomaterials allows researchers to control carrier density and shape potential barriers that confine carriers. Lithographic patterning followed by metal deposition is the standard technique to define electrostatic gates; however, the methods of fabricating these devices often involve harsh processing. For example, taking a material to high temperatures...
The Oregon Library Association has produced its peer-reviewed journal, the OLA Quarterly (OLAQ), since 1995, and OLAQ was published in Digital Commons beginning in 2014.
