  • Calculating the Added Cost of Over-Densifying Particleboard

    Creator:
    Gardner, Ben
    Abstract:
    Particleboard is a commodity composite panel made from the residual materials of other wood products manufacturing companies. The industry operates on low profit margins and thus produces high volumes of differing panel grades. Slight inefficiencies over the course of a year can mean a significant loss in profit. Previous calculations...

  • Dynamic Surface Tension on the Microsecond Timescale : Thermal Inkjet Printing Applications

    Creator:
    Wilson, Madeline
    Abstract:
    This project explores the relationship between microsecond-timescale dynamic surface tension (DST) and measurable thermal inkjet printing parameters. Dynamic surface tension affects many aspects of printing, including printing speed and ink drop shape. In addition to this, DST is a physical input parameter for HP’s in-house computational fluid dynamics program. HP...

  • Effects of ACEs and Parenting Style on Children’s Cortisol Levels at Preschool

    Creator:
    DuBois, Carissa E.
    Abstract:
    Recently, the definition of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) has evolved to also encompass environmental and contextual factors, termed expanded ACEs (Lipscomb et al., 2021). Given that responsive relationships in early childhood may dampen the response to traumatic stressors in the context of conventional ACEs (Flinn & England et al., 1997),...

  • Chandler Loop Model for the Development of Dynamic Hemocompatibility Assays

    Creator:
    Hasbrook, AnneMarie V.
    Abstract:
    A common issue with extracorporeal medical devices is blood clotting due to bio-incompatibility. Systemic anticoagulants are often prescribed to mitigate the coagulation issues. However, such drugs can lead to further complications, for example hemorrhaging. One solution to improve the hemocompatibility of blood-contacting medical devices are biomaterials, such as slippery liquid...

  • Autonomous helicopter systems: design and implementation solutions

    Creator:
    Nguyen, John
    Abstract:
    Creating intelligent robotics is at the cutting edge of technology. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are of particular interest for surveillance applications. UAVs have the potential to provide quick and cheap aerial data that would be difficult to obtain by conventional means. UAVs also have the ability to navigate without being...

  • Women's History Lessons for High School Social Studies Classes

    Creator:
    Mallery, Adah E.
    Abstract:
    Women’s history is often not included in K-12 classes. However, women are an essential part of American history and should be better represented in the K-12 curricula and classrooms. The purpose of this thesis is to both acknowledge that women’s history is often missing in K-12 classrooms and to provide...

  • Soil Property Effects on Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens) within William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge

    Creator:
    Day, Emily S.
    Abstract:
    Plant species diversity plays an important role in maintaining ecosystem function and the services that ecosystems provide. Diversity is threatened by habitat loss, invasive species, and global climate change. Willamette Daisy (Erigeron decumbens), an endangered species, has been reintroduced at two different sites (Field 29 and 8N) within William L....

  • Improving Braced Frame Modeling Application

    Creator:
    Groshong, Corey
    Abstract:
    This work analyzes the numerical curvature of buckling braces. An existing brace modeling learning tool, which in its current state allows users to change the inputs within a simulated model of a braced element, was modified to display the curvature diagram. The curvature diagram was verified through comparison to existing...

  • Sensitive Barnacles : A Case Study for Collaborative Sustainable Fishery Development

    Creator:
    Bingham, Julia
    Abstract:
    Current human – ocean relationships are dominated by unsustainable extraction of marine resources having both ecological and socio-economic consequences. Sustainable fishery management utilizing stakeholder collaboration must become a proactive strategy to prevent or reduce further long-lasting impacts. In Oregon, USA, a newly developing fishery for gooseneck barnacle (Pollicipes polymerus) presents...
