Total kinetic energy release in the fast neutron induced fission of actinide nuclei

Creator:: Loveland, Walter
Abstract:: The total kinetic energy release and fission mass distributions for the fast neutron (En = 3–100 MeV) induced fission of 232Th, 233U, 235U, 237Np, 239Pu, 240Pu, and 242Pu have been measured using the LANSCE facility. The neutron energies were deduced from time-of- flight measurements. The fission fragments were detected using...

Pillaging Bloodwood: An Exploratory Examination of Illegal Deforestation in Guinea-Bissau Through Forest Disturbance Algorithms and Unsupervised Clustering Techniques

Creator:: Walters, Alexander E.
Abstract:: Environmental crime around the world, such as trafficking in illegal timber, is directly related to political instability. Traffickers exploit weak, fragile, and chaotic political circumstances to illegally extract high-value commodities, challenging the extent to which conservation goals are achievable in resource rich developing countries. Rosewood is the largest traded endangered...

Effective Signage to Manage Recreation at OSU’s Research Forests

Creator:: Walters, Corinne A.
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on creating effective signage for the Oregon State University College of Forestry Research Forests (OSU Research Forests). The OSU Research Forests are a unique setting because they offer space for research, class field trips, active timber harvest, and public recreation. The public interface requires the management at...

A quantitative wildfire risk assessment using a modular approach of geostatistical clustering and regionally distinct valuations of assets—A case study in Oregon

Creator:: Schmidt, Andres, Leavell, Daniel, Punches, John, Rocha Ibarra, Marco A., Kagan, James S., Creutzburg, Megan, McCune, Myrica, Salwasser, Janine, Walter, Cara, and Berger, Carrie
Abstract:: The intensity and scale of wildfires has increased throughout the Pacific Northwest in recent decades, especially within the last decade, destroying vast amounts of valuable resources and assets. This trend is predicted to remain or even magnify due climate change, growing population, increased housing density. Furthermore, the associated stress of...

Searching for Pulsars for Use in Gravitational Wave Detection

Creator:: Connolly, Genevieve J.
Abstract:: Gravitational waves (GWs) are disturbances in spacetime that can be caused by events such as black hole mergers and supernovae, as well as continuous sources such as binary star systems. GWs offer a new avenue of astrophysical research and can reveal information about the early universe. GW detection can be...

CO₂ capture from wet flue gas using a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework

Creator:: Loughran, Ryan P.
Abstract:: We report the use of MIL-120 as a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework (MOF) for selectively capturing CO₂ from wet flue gas. Synthesized using inexpensive and environmentally benign reagents in water, MIL-120 possesses one-dimensional pores decorated with hydroxyl-bridged Al(III) ions and benzene rings with an interstitial spacing of 4.78 Å....

Fourfold amplification of solitary-wave Mach reflection at a vertical wall

Creator:: Knowles, Jeffrey and Yeh, Harry
Abstract:: With the use of a higher-order Euler formulation, we numerically study the reflection of an obliquely incident solitary wave at a vertical wall and compare results with the higher-order Kadomtsev-Petviashvili theory. A maximum amplification of 3.91 is achieved along the wall, nearly realizing the fourfold prediction by Miles (J. Fluid...

Late Cenozoic Foreland-to-Hinterland Low-Temperature Exhumation History of the Kashmir Himalaya

Creator:: Gavillot, Yann, Meigs, Andrew J., Sousa, Francis J., Stockli, Daniel, Yule, Doug, and Malik, Manzoor
Abstract:: New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He cooling ages quantify late Cenozoic exhumation patterns associated with fault activity across the Kashmir Himalaya. Apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) cooling ages of detrital grains from the Sub-Himalayan foreland sediments indicate significant resetting. AHe data and thermal modeling reveal cooling and exhumation initiated by 4Ma at the...

Recycled Components in Mantle Plumes Deduced From Variations in Halogens (Cl, Br, and I), Trace Elements, and He-3/He-4 Along the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain

Creator:: Broadley, Michael W., Sumino, Hirochika, Graham, David W., Burgess, Ray, and Ballentine, Chris J.
Abstract:: Halogens are primarily located within surface reservoirs of the Earth; as such they have proven to be effective tracers for the identification of subducted volatiles within the mantle. Subducting lithologies exhibit a wide variety of halogen compositions, yet the mantle maintains a fairly uniform signature, suggesting halogens may be homogenized...

Integrating oceans into climate policy : any green new deal needs a splash of blue

Creator:: Dundas, Steven J., Levine, Arielle S., Lewison, Rebecca L., Doerr, Angee N., White, Crow, Galloway, Aaron W. E., Garza, Corey, Hazen, Elliott L., Padilla‐Gamiño, Jacqueline, Samhouri, Jameal F., Spalding, Ana, Stier, Adrian, and White, J. Wilson
Abstract:: Recent warnings from scientists suggest there is limited time to enact policies to avert wide‐ranging ecological and social damage from climate change. In the United States, discussions about comprehensive national policies to avert climate change have begun, with “Green New Deal” proposals and climate plans put forth by members of...
