  • Investigations into the Mechanism of Action of Dengue Virus Inhibitor Compounds

    Creator:
    Schneider, Christine A.
    Abstract:
    Several compounds have been recently identified which are effective against dengue virus, a tropical arbovirus highly prevalent in southeast Asia and central America. Initial intrinsic fluorescence characterization of the mechanism of action of compound B reveals binding affinity to the dengue capsid protein. A molecular beacon unwinding assay and malachite...

  • Water intake structures as movement barriers for larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus)

    Creator:
    Eaton, Jordan E.
    Abstract:
    Dams, culverts, and water intake structures can impact the movement of aquatic and semi-aquatic species within streams and rivers. Datagaps exist regarding the impact of water intake structures on larval coastal giant salamanders (Dicamptodon tenebrosus) as these obstructions may produce a barrier to up and downstream movement. The Rock Creek...

  • Inter-code Comparison of Time Independent Pulsed Sphere Benchmark Results

    Creator:
    Northrop, Jordan
    Abstract:
    The pulsed sphere benchmark problems are a set of physical experiments that have been used to verify Monte Carlo codes and evaluate nuclear data. All Monte Carlo codes rely on benchmark experiments that test the features of the code to verify that the simulations are producing realistic results. In the...

  • Effect of Ecolabels in Context on Perceived Sustainability

    Creator:
    Garza, Natalia Linda
    Abstract:
    This study provides an overview of topics related to ecolabels and examines consumer perceptions of sustainability given different ecolabels. An internet based survey was used, and different ecolabels were found to have variant impacts on consumer perceptions of sustainability using descriptive statistics. More research concerning the perceptions of ecolabels on...

  • Core Site Sediment Sources off of Sumatra

    Creator:
    Black, Bran
    Abstract:
    The intention of this honors thesis was to define the boundaries of the basins responsible for feeding sedimentary materials to the core sites taken for the 2007 OSU Sumatra Cruise. These boundaries were defined with the specific use in mind of tracking potential sources of material that would likely be...

  • Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Propulsion

    Creator:
    Brown, Sean
    Abstract:
    There is a growing US interest in UAVs for many applications ranging from agriculture to military. One area of improvement that can be realized in each category is propulsion. Engines with greater efficiency would result in longer mission duration, leading to cost savings and increased usefulness for UAV owners and...

  • A Comparative Study of Funding and Budgeting Profiles of Collegiate Athletic Bands, with an Emphasis on Alumni Relations

    Creator:
    Hunter, Sean C.
    Abstract:
    This study is a comparison to establish similarities between the funding resources of college and university athletic bands. The secondary objective is to determine the funding potential that exists as a result of alumni relations. In order to obtain funding information for a variety of athletic band programs, a survey...

  • Perceptual thresholds for foot slipping in animated characters

    Creator:
    Strawn, Jordan J.
    Abstract:
    The computer game industry continues to progress toward realistic-looking character motion. However, even in state-of-the-art games, the use of motion capture data in character animation may result in errors such as “foot slipping,” where the feet do not match up with the floor properly during translation. Various algorithms have been...

  • Experimental Design Approach for Evaluation of Airfoil-Driven Energy Harvesting

    Creator:
    Strahl, Jordan D.
    Abstract:
    An experimental setup has been partially developed to investigate the impact of an actively controlled trailing edge component upon the energy harvesting performance of an oscillating airfoil in a pitching and heaving regime. While previous and current efforts have and continue to function to characterize the performance of such a...
