Developing the Next Generation of SociallyResponsible Employees: The Case of Enactus at Oregon State University

Creator:: Weik, Shireen Mary
Abstract:: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a pervasive focus of organizations and is regarded, alongside sustainability and financial profit, as a key element of a triple bottom-line approach. Corporations are realizing that CSR cannot be approached compartmentally but instead must be ubiquitous across departments and operations. Therefore, it is in...

Recurrent Neural Networks for Robotic Control of a Human-Scale Bipedal Robot

Creator:: Siekmann, Jonah A.
Abstract:: Dynamic bipedal locomotion is among the most difficult and yet relevant problems in modern robotics. While a multitude of classical control methods for bipedal locomotion exist, they are often brittle or limited in capability. In recent years, work in applying reinforcement learning to robotics has lead to superior performance across...

Evaluating social media attention interventions

Creator:: Gasper, David M.
Abstract:: Social media platforms use many techniques to engage users' attention with their platforms, including notifications, popups, and gamification elements. The impact of social media on physical and mental health has been studied, but limited publicly available research exists on how social media users can be helped to disengage from these...

Bioethanol production from lignocellulosicbiomass: assessing genes linked to acetic acid stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Creator:: Montgomery, Tyler P.
Abstract:: Lignocellulosic biomass represents a vast and renewable source of fermentable sugar for production of biofuels. However, native lignocellulose—comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin—is refractory to degradation because the crystalline cellulose is not easily hydrolyzed by cellulases. Standard chemical treatments of lignocellulose to reduce the crystallinity of cellulose prior to enzymatic...

Cytokine expression in Danio rerio (zebrafish) in response to TLR-7 agonist - Imiquimod

Creator:: Paternostro, Kevin Alan
Abstract:: Utilizing Danio rerio (zebrafish) as a model organism has gained popularity recently, however a lack of research into their immune response pathways had led to the discovery of subclinical infections, and has potentially confounded results. We conducted a study to determine the cytokine expression from TLR activation in order to...

Thermal conductivity measurements of amorphous thin films on silicon via the 3ω method

Creator:: Wiedle, River Alan
Abstract:: Thermal transport properties of a material are often difficult to measure, especially for thin films, but they are important for materials that have applications in modern devices, such as nano-scale electronics, thermoelectrics, and thermally resistive coatings. In this thesis, we describe an apparatus developed to measure the thermal conductivity of...

The Climate Change - Homelessness Nexus : how disaster response institutions reinforce structural vulnerability in wildfire-impacted communities in Oregon

Creator:: Werdel, Carly Inez
Abstract:: In communities impacted by climate disasters, institutions largely determine the distribution of outcomes within a population. This research aims to examine the role of institutions in differential outcomes for displaced communities impacted by the 2020 Labor Day Wildfires in the Santiam Canyon and the Rogue Valley. Using semi-structured interviews of...

Broad Histogram Algorithm Comparison for the Square Well Fluid

Creator:: Simpson, Tanner T.
Abstract:: Thermodynamic properties of systems are often investigated computationally. Traditionally, thermal physics simulations are limited by their very small energy ranges and slow convergence. Broad histogram algorithms are a class of Monte Carlo algorithms that can explore an entire energy (and temperature) range in one thermal physics simulation: potentially saving months...

The Impact of Material Handling on Manufacturing Process Plan Selection

Creator:: Sargent, Ian E.
Abstract:: The total manufacturing cost for a part is determined by its process plan, and the total cost includes both processing and material handling costs. This research examines the cost impact of assuming an arbitrary layout when evaluating alternative process plans for production in a new facility. A designed experiment was...

Assessing the Maturity of Industrial Engineering as an Engineering Discipline

Creator:: Murphy, Thomas W.
Abstract:: Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline, with a wide range of definitions for the field and the knowledge areas that make up its parts. A conceptual gap exists between the definition of the field of Industrial Engineering and the definitions of each of these parts. To facilitate advancement of the...
