A Simple Leapfrog Integration Scheme to Find Optimal Interplanetary Trajectories

Creator:: Kelley, Scott M.
Abstract:: The calculation of interplanetary trajectories is a numeric problem which requires a high degree of precision for the results to be accurate. A computer program was written for this project which uses leapfrog integration combined with Newton’s method of iterative root finding to find ideal interplanetary trajectories. Reasonable initial conditions...

Modeling the Fusion Reaction in an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement Reactor with the Particle-in-Cell Method

Creator:: van de Lindt, Jacob
Abstract:: Nuclear fusion has the potential to meet the energy needs of our civilization for centuries to come and does not produce harmful greenhouse gasses or produce long-lasting radioactive waste. A fusion reaction can be readily demonstrated in a confinement scheme known as inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion. In this work,...

The Development of a Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Simulation Code in C++ for the Modeling of the SPT-70 Hall Thruster

Creator:: Myers, Conner J.
Abstract:: In order to support the growing satellite propulsion industry, a hybrid Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation with fluid treatment of electrons and neutral particles was developed to model the SPT-70 Hall thruster. The 2D, C++ code assumes azimuthal symmetry and a uniform magnetic field in the radial direction with the simulation domain...

Vulnerability and adaptation of Pacific Northwest shellfisheries to ocean acidification

Creator:: Katz, Brian G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand the vulnerability and adaptive capacity of shellfish stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest who are adapting to ocean acidification (OA). This study developed a geovisualization tool of existing environmental data for assessing species-specific risk profiles to OA (based on their exposure and sensitivity),...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:: Thomas, Matthew W.
Abstract:: Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Machine Learning and Optimization Applications in Agriculture

Creator:: Molotkov, Alexander
Abstract:: 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...

Post-Preservation Maintenance of Cadavers to Prevent Tissue-Dehydration in Educational Environments

Creator:: Herrera, Alexandria R.
Abstract:: In anatomical education, clinicians, surgeons, and anatomists support the use of human cadavers over digital or artificial alternatives. Cadaver use raises the challenge of preventing tissue dehydration. The OSU cadaver labs attempt to maintain hydration by re-covering the exposed tissues with original skin, layers of plastic wrap, and/or towels and...

Development of a Field Arsenic Test Utilizing PEG Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles

Creator:: Patel, Kian
Abstract:: Arsenic in its inorganic form is naturally present in groundwater. Continued exposure to arsenic contaminated water can result in long lasting health complications, ranging from cognitive development issues to cancer. One method which may be convertible to a field test is the use of PEG functionalized gold nanoparticles which aggregate...

A Prototype of Structured Decision Making with Ecological Modeling for Tribal Agricultural Resource Management Plans

Creator:: Ciocco, Anthony
Abstract:: Agriculture Resource Management Plans (ARMPs) are the primary programmatic-level planning document for the management of tribal rangelands in North America. This project compares a standard ARMP product with a prototype ARMP developed through a Structured Decision Making (SDM) approach for the Navajo Partitioned Lands. The SDM approach provided increased transparency...

An Overview of SPACs and the 2020-2021 SPAC Surge

Creator:: Moon, Laura E.
Abstract:: This paper provides a literature review in order to capture the state of the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) market, incorporating the most recent research from 2020 and 2021. SPACs are an alternative way to take a company public. Rather than going through the traditional IPO process to access public...
