  • Development of Miniature Wire pH Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring of the Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm

    Creator:
    Wong, Derek C.
    Abstract:
    The interface between a biofilm and the underlying substrate to which it is attached is challenging to study. Currently, available methods of studying this microenvironment have not been able to record data in real-time over a time period in the range of days. To address this challenge, we report the...

  • Mobile Cryptographic Coprocessor for Privacy-Preserving Two-Party Computation

    Creator:
    Kulp, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    Multi-party computation (MPC) is a field of study focused on devising cryptographic protocols that allow participants to learn the output of some function of their private inputs without trusting a third party to perform the computation. This is usually done at a large scale between data centers, with little emphasis...

  • Drone Strikes : The Moral, Political, and Legal Implications of the Changing Character of War

    Creator:
    Khalife, Ryan A.
    Abstract:
    Drone strikes have become a defining strategy in the US War on Terror. Since the first combat drone strike in 2001, the executive branch has intentionally increased the deployment of drones for counterterrorism operations throughout the Middle East and North Africa. This thesis explores the moral and legal justifications for...

  • An Exploration Into The Ever-changing Expanse of Non-periodic Tilings

    Creator:
    Tassin, Ian
    Abstract:
    This paper synthesizes various works Wang tiles up to this point, including: the reduction from the Halting Problem to Wang Tiling Problem and notions around various aspects of periodicity, including minimal period, aperiodicity, and axis-aligned periodicity. Additionally it includes new work, including: a proof that a tiling can be periodic...

  • Predicting Protein-Protein Interactions in a Cnidarian Model System

    Creator:
    Gregory, Dylan B.
    Abstract:
    The symbiotic sea anemone Exaiptasia diaphana (Aiptasia) is a model organism used to better understand cnidarian-algal symbiosis and coral bleaching (dysbiosis). Many biological processes are hypothesized to be involved in coral dysbiosis, and the innate immunity is a key area of interest. Rab proteins are small proteins with GTPase domains,...

  • Optical Tweezers-Based Probe of Charge Transfer in Organic Semiconductors at Microscopic Scales

    Creator:
    Busche, Jacob A.
    Abstract:
    A method for measuring the (dis)charging dynamics of organic semiconductors with single-electron resolution in multiple environments is developed using optical tweezers. A 1μm silica bead was coated with either a pristine organic semiconductor or an electron donor-acceptor blend, trapped using optical tweezers, and driven with an oscillating electrical driving force....

  • Cascadia’s cold war : Malamud’s novel, A New Life, and OSU’s Liberal Arts at the midcentury

    Creator:
    Sal, K. Sukhjot
    Abstract:
    This thesis will compare former OSU Professor Bernard Malamud’s life in Corvallis through primary sources and documents with his parallel experience in his 1961 novel A New Life. A close examination of Malamud’s literature and investigation of his life at OSU exposes an uneven balance between academic censorship and the...
